View Full Version : Servo Throw Arm Setup?

I am in the process of setting up my HoneyBee KING servos. Are the following assumptions correct?
1) with all trims centered except the throttle trim which is set to set to its lowest most position on the tx, throttle gimbal set to 0, and right gimbal centered...and the gyro has initialized.....the servo throw arms of ALL FOUR servos should be at 90 degrees to each respective servo body.
2) under the same trim/gyro setup as above .... the tail rotor blades should have 0 pitch, as well as the flybar paddles and main blades with a 0 pitch.

I'm not familiar with the HoneyBee King, but...

With both sticks centered all arms should be perpendicular to the pushrods that are attached to them. It doesn't matter how they're oriented relative to the servo body. The main blades and paddles should be at zero-pitch, and the tail-slider should be roughly centered. Quite likely you will have some pitch in the tail rotor blades at this position, as this is required to offset the torque of the mains in a hover.
