im as green as they get, so the simpler, the better. if there is a video link out there on swash leveling, please let me know................. i have been trying to level the swash on my heli for weeks. i really have no clue except what i have managed to read in
some postings, but i have to say that everyone seems to have a
different way. can someone just give a simple way of doing it.
everytime i try, i'll look at swash from back of heli and it looks level,
then i look from the side and it seems off. i have adjusted the links
so many times with little to show, and many times i got to the point where the links were turned so far, they just come off...... i'm getting discouraged and i'd really appreciate some help.

thanks

What helicopter?

Its a combo of messing with linkages, servo arm position and as a last resort sub trim.

Also there's a tool with a double bubble level on it that helps tremendously.

i've done the messing with linkages, but not servo arm position. also, does it matter what angle i'm looking at the swash because different angles makes
me see different settings.

thank you

I dont know anything about either of those so I'll let others chime in. Level is level though.
