| AvantI finished up all of the mechanical and some tx work on my Avant. Pictures were sent to Augusto to check out. Setting up the CCPM (my first CCPM heli) was interesting at first. Once Augusto explained some concepts and gave me some tips, getting the swash level through the pitch range was not too bad.
BTW.... full pitch range was +14,0,-14!! Initial setup is 11,0,-10. Cyclic pitch was set at 6 degrees.
Probably won't get to fly it for a couple of weeks yet.
All that is left is throttle curves, gyro settings, and GV1 setup. I will also cut up a Freya canopy to fit until the Avant canopy comes back from Mort at Just Canopies.
Initial check shows balance is on the mark. Check my gallery for updated pictures.
