I just bought a Dragonus II (basic plastic/aluminum kit)

When setting up the tail linkage and servo arm what is the ballpark figure for mid stick?

I set it up parallel (tail rotor control arm 90deg/servo arm 90deg) and 0deg on head and every other control and it has to much tail rotor pitch (tail blades)

Make sense?

Thanks

Hey Matey,

Basically with the tail slider control arm parallel to the tail rotor output shaft that should introduce just the right amount of tail pitch to compensate for the torque.

I have attached a picture of mine here for you to see.

You will need to fly the model out of heading hold ideally to check this and fine tune it, but it will give you a good starting point from which to work from.

Any other questions just ask me.
