g4 head linkage rod lengths

[philipfrank]

can you guys post your rod lengths and travels etc used for hs56 servos in your g4 frames?

i just installed some hs 56's and am having a heck of a time getting things set the way i had with hs50's using the stock trex rod lengths above the swashplate.

With the swashplate level using one of Helicopter John's leveling tools, collective midstick 0 pitch, my links are 42mm center of hole to center of hole using the 29mm rods, using the 4 hole horn with the ball in the 2nd hole from the servo screw, I'm getting +/-10 with no binding.

what are your travels set at?

are the other links the same length as in the trex instructions?

[Foxden]

The only thing that will be different is the three rods to the servo from the swash, everything above remains the same and I found the lengths listed in the SE manual were pretty much right on.

I'm running my G4 on a 9Z, my swash setup is as follows:
Ail +55
Ele +55
Pit -37

what servo travels are you using? (servo end point travel)

[Hotwings]

i'm pretty sure foxden's using the same as me, 100% across the board. ron

Yes I am, 100% on both sides
