Max pitch on a fury extreme?

[Stoffe]

What pitch are all the pros out there using? I have used +-11 degrees for awhile on my fury extreme with new flybar carrier.

Can i use like +-13 degrees i just want the heli to be a little more "punchy" when doing tictocs and such manuvres. I just want to know if thats ok to use?

I know it binds a little at the extremes when using full cyclic 8 degrees, but i am never at the extremes at full pitch thou.

Also is there any more mod i can do to make the heli more responsive?
I have done eric larsons mod. But i was thinkig of maybe shorten the ball link that is on the mixing arm, that connects to the swashplate. I have the tempest mixing arm on the blade holder, and i think the orginal is a 0109 ball but i was thinking of maybe putting a 0107 ball there to get a little more cycklic pitch and also so i can get a little more pitch out of the head.

I just want to know if its ok to do that or Im i doing something that can be bad for the head?

Thx for a little help here!

I'm using the shorter ball on the mixing arm on the blade holder,it gave me more pitch and cyclic.It seems like it made the heli more responsive after i installed the shorter balls closer to mid stick than the longer ones. I'm running 12 and 12 on the collective and 8 on the cyclic. More pitch wont help make more punchy uless you use full pitch,although using the shorter ball seemed to make the heli more responsive on everthing.DOUG

What lenght are you using now on the mixing arm? I took the 0113 double ball link and used the inner ball, i guess its like using a 0107 ball on the mixing arm. And like you said it looks like i got maybe 0.5-1 degree more cyclic pitch and also more pitch range. So it looks good so far :-)

Try putting a couple of washers behind the balls on the swash plate that have the long rod connected to them. Put enough washers that the ball just clears the inside of the swash plate.

You can read about it here. Faster cyclic is the title, scroll down to it.
