Question: Raptor 30 V1 pitch

[randito]

ON the Raptor 30 V1 when you give throttle isn't the pitch of the blades supposed to change at the same time? I'm asking because I was fooling with my raptor last night and noticed that when I gave throttle the Blades did not change pitch. I have not flown the raptor in 5 or so years and was not sure how this worked on it. I know with my other heli's that the pitch changes with throttle. I'm still a noob when it comes to this stuff and wanted to find out the deal with it.

Thanks,
Randy

Yes. When throttle is increased, pitch should adjust. You have pitch curves set up on your radio?

Thanks, I thought so, for some reason I had it plugged into the wrong channel. It works well now.

I would suggest a few items to go over before flying your Rappy. You may have already taken care of these but:
- replace all the fuel lines
- replace the rubber dampers
- for safety sake, replace the V1 tail blade grips with PV0148 V2 style grips along with the PV0499 SUS tail hub. You'll also need a set of PV0200 bearings. This will be the best $25 spent on a V1 Raptor.
- lube the spindle with a silicon lube
- check the belt over carefully
- clean and oil the main shaft/swash area and the tail slider
- replace the battery pack
- check for corrosion on the wires
- if you have wood blades check them carefully
