I'm setting up a HDX 500 for a client and I've noticed that when setting up the tail rotor with the tail rotor bell crank parallel to the tail boom as per the instructions a left tail rotor bias is introduced instead of the proper right tail rotor bias. I've corrected this by changing the tail rotor control from the leading edge as the instructions seem to indicate to the trailing edge. This gives the proper ~5 degree right tail rotor with the the bell crank arm parallel to the tail boom. Has anyone else noticed this or have I done something wrong? I didn't put the machine together.

Thanks,
Bob

Great, thanks Charley.

Very impressed with the machine so far. I don't think you've met the owner, Little Don, but he put it together. This his his 15th machine, all the others are 450s about evenly split between T-Rex and HDX.
