what is the recommended cyclic pitch for a raptor50?.

now lets say for example, i checked my cyclic pitch, and im getting 7degrees 1 way and 6 the other, is it possible to make them both 6degrees? if so how?

im using a 9chp.
thanx

both need to be 6.5 and if your pitches on collective r right then you need to change the cyclic in the radio not mechanics....clintstone showed me how to do it but telling you how to do it is diffrent..pm him and hell tell you its really easy im just a tard and have to have tx in my hand to do it

First make sure your swash plate is level. You can do this by setting the collective to read 0 on one of the blades. Now with out moving anything but rotating the head. Rotate the head in 90 deg intervals and check and see if the pitch gauge still reads 0 at each 90 deg point. If it does the swash plate is level. If it does not, you need to adjust the links to the swashplate till it is level.
Then you should get the same cyclic reading fore and aft , then left and right. If you don't get the same reading then the servo horn may not be centered on the servo at neutral position. You should make sure the servo horns are centered before you check the swashplate for level. Because if you have to move the servo horn, then you have to level the swashplate again. Hope this helps you out.
