| do this:unhook the servo's from the bellcranks (the #1 and 6 servo's) leaving the elevator servo attached.
The bellcrank for the elevator should be straight up and down. If you have the push/pull elevator setup, imagine a line that goes between the two balls..that should be vertical. Set the elevator servo so it is at mid stick (on a linear pitch curve). This is your base reference point. Note the elevator A arm is in a fixed position. In other words, you cannot adjust the length (well, you CAN a little with the metal elevator A arm, and I do....I turn the link OUT 1 1/2 turns) But we are assuming it is the HD plastic A arm.
Now, with the throttle at mid stick, do this:
the SINGLE attachment arm of the aileron/pitch levers should be made HORIZONTAL. Make it so with the servo wheels/position of the ball/and last resort, subtrim. Both sides need to be set.
Make up the pushrods from the single attachment arm up to the 120 degree points of the swash. Adjust these rods until the swashplate is level.
The two smallest pushrods on the head.....turn these IN until the ball links ALMOST touch.
Adjust the medium length pushrods so the washout assembly arms are horizontal to each other.
Adjust the longest pushrods so the blades are at ZERO degrees.
You SHOULD come up with about +/- 12 degrees total. Go to swash AFR, reduce PITCH so you get 10 degrees top and bottom. ( I kinda cheat, and leave 12 on top myself....comes in handy if an unexpected auto pops up).
after you get the pitch range set, go back to mid stick (ZERO degrees) and check cyclic deflection. 6 is fine, both roll and elevator.
THAT ought to get you rolling.
Oh, I almost forgot the "disclaimer"......YOUR results MAY vary.
