shuttle Plus head linkages

[nfz300zx]

Hiya guys,

Can anyone help me set them up the linkages on the head?

Have set all the rods to exactly what they say in the book and they work fine, however read somewhere that you should set them up to get the same +/- pitch and 0 pitch at center stick mechanically. have tried this but then end up with 0 deg in the middle, +5 top stick and -7 bottom stick :s

First of all set the collective servo arm to 90deg at mid stick. Then set the L arm so it's central in the slot in the frame by adjusting the length of the linkage. From then on keep the stick at mid stick and work upwards to the blades

Thanks for that :D what one is the L arm? as i can think of 3 that are L shaped in my head. and dont have the heli in front of me at work :( lol

Is there any specific rod lengths i need for JR radios?

The big silver pitch arm.

Cool thanks Guys, i worked it out that it was that. have set that and get about 0 deg pitch at half stick now and about 8deg top stick and -7 deg low stick with no pitch curves set in the radio. does this sound about right?

Ok just rechecked them again and one min i get +10 next only +5 but nothing has been changed :S is there a trick to using a pitch gauge on a shuttle?

Seems a low range. On mine I've got 22 deg total pitch throw. Mine has got the Quick UK ali head upgrades on it tho. May make a difference

The Shuttle doesn't have 1:1 mixing you have to make sure the flybar is level in relation to the spindle shaft. I just use a level table and a hanging bubble level on the fly bar. If you put a pitch gauge on it and tilt the flybar you will see the pitch gauge reading change.
