I normally fly collective pitch heli's. Why does the manual tell you to use one 4 deg. grip and one 6 deg. grip? I dont understand that at all. As related to collective pitch heli's both blades have to match.

Because the relationship of the two blades is fixed by the feathering plate. The tracking adjustment merely tilts the feathering plate so that the pitch of each blade is the average of the two grips.

What happens after tracking the blades (one with a 4 degree grip and the other with a 6 degree grip) is that the feathering plate assumes a 1 degree tilt, decreasing the pitch of the blade with a 6 degree grip to 5 degrees and the increasing the pitch of the blade with a 4 degree grip to 5 degrees.

Thanks for the info. It really had me troubled.

Except that almost everyone switches to using two 4's anyway (for an overall average 4 degrees). This makes the head spin faster so you have more control and it's more stable (and the tail authority is increased).
