I have just finished building a Raptor 90 (3D version) and have a with the head set up .
With -9 pitch and max or min elevator (6.5 degrees swash travel) the arm on the blade holder hits the hoops so that the flybar will only just tilt to the level position, but no further.
Is this normal?
If anyone can check this for me I would be very greatful.
Position flybar in line with boom, then Idle up, throttle full back, full back elevator.
Now check the available flybar tilt, the front end of my flybar will tilt to the end stop, but the rear end will not go any further than level (i.e. the flybar is paralell with the boom).
Have attatched some pictures to help explain the problem
The first pic is with pitch and cyclic at zero degrees and all is well
The second is with Pitch at -9 and full back elevator (6.5 degrees)
I have circled where the blade arm hits the hoop, which means the flybar will not tilt any further down where arrowed, but will tilt fully in opposite direction.
Do you think this is normal? Anyone with a raptor 3D able to verify this?
Thanks for the help
