How do I get blades in track??

[kamakazikev24]

After replacing the main shaft and feathering shaft the blades are out of track and I dont know how to sort them out :shock: Can someone please tell me which links ( A, B, ect ect) I have to adjust to get them back in line?

She still flys but it just dont look pretty anymore when the disk is outta focus! lol

The thing to concentrate on is getting the RED blade set up to be mechanically perfect (0deg @ midstick in idleup1) and then adjusting the other (blue) blade's long swashplate connected link to bring it into track during hover testing. Now when I say RED blade, I don't literally mean the blade that you have put red tracking tape on. You should have one of your blade GRIPS marked with a scratch or a small sticker or a dab of paint to forever mark it as your reference blade. This is your RED blade. It does make sense to match the tracking tape colors, though.

Hi,

Which Heli have you got. E325?

Cheers,

Yeah the Thunder Tiger Mini Titan E325, It was all perfect before I binned it lol and I just dont know which link to adjust to get it sorted. One blade sits about one blade width above the other when in the hover.

Thanks Kam

I would say that AlanMcSwain advice is spot on There is a really good video on this site.

This will take you through the whole process.

I've got a mini titan and every now and then it goes out of track. It is a very well documented problem. here is a link that discusses it at length :)

I just try and re track it each time. I'll hang on for the metal head to hopefully solve the problem.

Not saying this is effecting you, but it is good background info.

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

Peter
