New swashplate from a new heli

[jrohland]

When I switched to CCPM, I moved my antirotation guide to the front to clear room for a longer servo horn on the rear CCPM servo. When moving the antirotation guide, it is necessary to change the swashplate to a type with the antirotation pin opposite the rear servo link.

I recently found this (http://www.flying-hobby.com/productShow.asp?id=1392) new swashplate. The construction quality appears quite high. I will report back on how it holds up over time.

This contains lower and upper frames along with a couple of trays, and swashplate, everything is cf.. Its a nice kit, and doesn't show everything in the picture, this kit from tower would cost around 90$. This is a helimax kit. Only thing I suggest is to remove the extention balls on the swashplate.

UUHH Yeah I have the Heli Max Kit In fact i got two of them(Mistake on LHS Part) But the ones i got are NOT CF I know that you can get thes though but like you said it`s gonna cost $90 not $44. May I ask Why you skipped the Extension Balls? I found mine gave a better "Straight shot" If not I would take one of theose extensions and use it in the Anti ratation Arm so i could use a Longer Servo Arm.

The reason to skip the extensions are almost obvious. that puts your main axis in an off center position. This causes the swash not to be 120 degree. and involentary pitch in your foward and aft elevator movements. Unless you can work it out on the radio, I don't know, wouldn't want to try. Not to mention its in the way of the canopy more than it is without.
