| You should only adjust the link attached directly to the hiller mixing arm attached to the blade grip. Usually when I find after a new heli gets alot of time on it, the ball links start to wear out and adjusting of the other links becomes necessary to compensate. After one adjustment of the other links, I do no more and replace the links. On a new heli, after the links seat in, your going to have to a retrack. Every time you change out the blades to another set, more than likely your going to have to track the blades especially if there is a large difference in weight. Tracking adjustment should be done to a "master" blade, the one you used to set your pitch range. What I do is if the adjustment is greater than a half turn, I move the master the appropriate direction 1/2 turn and the "slave" blade one half turn the opposite direction. If your adjusting one blade a great amount, your making it so the two blades do not have the same pitch at a given point in the range. Hope this is helpful. |
