I need to adjust my pitch. I got the pitch guage but, is there a tool to hold the flybar level while i'm adjusting it? I didn't want to eyeball it. How do you do it? Any Finless vids about it? Thanks for any help.

There are flybar locks. Some lock to the boom and others lock the carrier itself but it's just as easy and accurate to eyeball it

CCPM2 video shows use of the pitch gauge I believe.. http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex450&filename=CCPM_Part_2.wmv

I bought a flybar lock but it's a pain to use it and it doesn't really help. The angle between the blade and the flybar stays nearly the same regardless of the tilt of the flybar; somewhere near level is good enough.

Depends on the heli. My EP8 has a massive change, but the mixing arms are attached to the blade grips rather than the flybar cage.
But there is a change based on the mixing ratio.
