e-E-Sky Honey Bee- Lama- Belt CP- E-Smart > not enough pitch

I found the manual to my king and was redoing the linkages to what the manual said. The servo-swash linkages are supposed to be about 30mm and mine are at 35 because my links wont get any smaller. The swash to arm that controls blade pitch is supposed to be 54mm and mine is (or whatever is in the manual). Now my pitch isnt high enough again. Its at like -5 center and +1 at 100%. I think before i had my links really long but is there another reason why my pitch is so low and how can i get more pitch. I did center my servos and level my swashplate too.

The manual is not a good place to look for that info. Actually there is no good place to get it. There is actually a pretty straight forward method of setting up the heli. You start at the bottom and work upwards. The method starts like ... (assuming stock radio)

Unplug motor, enable 3D mode and power on the radio and heli. Center all the trims and center the throttle exactly. Now level the cyclic servos. Next level the swash along with the washout arms. Now adjust the main blades until they are at 0* pitch.

... and well that is it.

The only things I would add are to make sure the swash is in it's center of travel along the main shaft when the throttle stick is at 50% in idle-up, and ensure that the washout doesn't touch the center hub at full stick and there's no swash contact on the main shaft collar at low stick (move the cyclic stick in circles to be sure).

The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.

If you level everything all the way up, it has to be in the center cause half the links are fixed. It is not like a Rex here you can adjust every freaking link and really get thing messed up.
