I rebuilt my Evo .50 after a crash, and I have a weird problem now. When I do loops or flips, it pulls to the left. I have been having somebody watch my right hand, and I am not putting the right in myself. Is this a phasing problem? After the crash, it has a whole new rotor head, and main shaft. Rolls seem a little off, too. When I put the flybar even with the tail boom, the balls of the inner and outer swash line up. It didn't do this before the crash. What could be wrong?
When I say pulls to the left, I mean it is getting left roll with a backward pitch command. It seems to go right with foreward pitch.

I'm new so this may or may not be of assistance, however did you have the head apart after the crash? If so may be the alignment of the Radius Block .
Page 16 of the manual or the link below shows initial alignment.

Hope this helps..
Please let me know what you find as I've just completed installing engine & radio in an Evo 50 I picket up from Greg. Maden voyage for me will be Mooresville NC this weekend..
Happy flyin'

Yes, you are right, the alignment of the radius block is off. I was just hoping someone could clue me in on how to fine tune it. Phasing is the term for the alignment of the radius block.

pretty easy to do, a lot harder to explain.
Loosen the hold bolt on the radius block, and turn the head block to align the head fore/aft, and look at the swashplate. Align the inner balls of the swash with the head, ie: fore/aft.
There is also the method where you align the flybar in line with the boom and push your elevator forward/backward while holding the paddle - if the paddle tries to turn then the phasing is off, rotate the radius block and repeat again
It's a really easy method with positive feedback
It gives you a solid place to start from
If you are mode two be careful to not snag the aileron when doing this - that will turn the flybar
