swash height

[str8huckin]

I have searched and read the manual, but with 29mm swash to bellcrank link's my swash is way to high. Everyone says to use the specs in the manual on the head but no specifics on swash to bellcrank. I want to maiden today!!! how long are your links?

The top of page 10 in the manual shows the linkage length, it is 29mm inside between the ball links, this is 58mm center to center, I just went in the shop and measured them, I have the same on both Steven's machine and this puts the swash at zero pitch mid stick

that is exactly what I have but my swash is too high the wash out arms are way off and the main blades are nowhere near 0 . I have all the links set to the specs in the manual. I will try pulling the head block maybe it's not fully seating.

that wasnt it. This sucks. I have been staring at it for an hour and just dont understand what is going on

ok I think I have got it. I installed the mast bolt in the upper hole.

remember that the washout arms are not parrellel, they will be at a slight angle, Page 6 in the manual has a diagram showing the angles at botht he grip and washout arm. Make sure you in the lower hole in the main shaft thru the drive pulley under the main gear, if you in the upper hole it could put your swash closer to the washout base causing what your seeing.
