R90se, set up 9 deg max, pos and neg, is this right?

[Cliff_B]

I am setting up a R90SE, I can only get 9 deg pitch pos and neg, This is with the movement on the pitch lever maxed out, I can see no other way of getting more pitch without changing some mech mix, There seams to be more room for swash travel on the bttm but the wash out hub is only a fraction from the head. Is 9 deg all there is or am I missing something. Thanks Cliff

Your missing something. should be close to 12+-

I found part of the problem, the elevator linkage was to long where it connects to the swashplate. I trimed the links down a bit and can now get a repeatable 10-0-10, to get this,the washout assy is right at the headblock and the pitch lever has full travel, the only way I can see for more travel/pitch is to shorten the elevator links further. Has everyone/anyone done this? I realy can't see any other way to gain pitch without the swash traveling further, This is not my first heli but I am no expert either. any help/comment would be appreciated. Thanks

Mine off the bench no mods is 12+-

When the collective arm is not hooked to the servo , your moving with your hand up and down.

Push collective tray all the way down, check with pitch gauge -
if you don't have close to +12,,, adjust linkage going up from swash plate to mixing arm and small doublelink to get at least near 12

When you raise the collective tray all the way up you should now have -12
