Just wanted to share with you guys my upgrade for my Swift 620. This is a must do upgrade for any Swift!!! Here are the parts for the upgrade: Metal Tail Pitch Slider (Part #2282S), a M3x20mm bolt and a Flybar Arm Bushing. Here are some pics:

Can you skip the bushing and move the little bracket to the lower hole?

I currently have that setup on all three of my ravens.
Definitly gets you alot more pitch and therfore more taila authority.
Am going to install one on my new swift that should be here on friday.
On my first swift I'm only running 6s with 550 blades so tail authority hasn't been a big problem I just put wider cord tail blades on that one and it seams to be doing the job fine . But my new swift is an 8 s setup so I'm antisipating some holding problems.

I'm running a NEU 1907 motor with a kv of 900 and 9 tooth pinion, Castle hv 85 esc, and 2 4s flight power 3200 packs hooked in series .I'm running the same setup in my new Gohbee Phazor 600 and it is a rocket .So i figure why not try that 4 HP setip in a swift.
In my Phazor it'll pull 620's at 15/15 pitch with no bog and tic tocs are just a blur.I may end up running a 10 pinion. I'm starting low and i'll work up as my testing proceeds.
