Hey fellas, I have a Raptor 30 V1 and ive been flying it for a couple of months. Im getting into some aerobatic stuff and trying to get some bigger control throws. I am 10 on the top and 9 on the bottom. At anything above 1/2 stick (collective) I have bad trouble with binding--- Elevator/Ailerons. I cant get past like 50% ATV on my throws. Is there an easy solution, hopefully im just missing something? Thanks in advance. Tim

Tim,

Properly set-up, you should be able to move your swashplate to its travel limits at all collective points. I suspect a bad set-up problem but without seeing your machine it's kind of hard. I know there are some "freaks" in the Easley area maybe one of them can check your machine. Failing that, some pictures would be helpful. In the meantime, get your manual out and check all your link lengths, arm positions and the freedom of movement of all your head, washout, swash, and mixer parts.
