HDX 500 Main Shaft

[capebob]

Using the center hole on the main shaft to secure the main gear as per the instructions I can get full collective. However, at at full negative pitch my cyclic is very limited due to the swash hitting the humongous main shaft collar. Has anyone had this problem and were you able to get a proper set-up using the bottom hole in the main shaft?

Thanks,
Bob

i used bottom hole.i had it in center and figured i'd never get the servo links short enough.bottom hole work perfect for me.

i shud say swash links,not servo...sorry

I think that's what I'm going to do. I got the links set up OK using the center hole, but the swash hits the collar with full negative and just a little cyclic.

I went ahead and set it up with the main shaft using the bottom hole and it set up perfect. It will fly in the morning. Thanks Charlie & blackbear.
