Hi All,i recently bought myself a tt mini titan e325and also a futaba t6 ex tx,hence i had to take out the stock rx,ive centred servos mechanicaly without tx settings,so ail-cyclic-elv.were at 90dg mid stick,Reading the pitch settings at this point, were =low stick=(-10) mid stick=(-1) and full stick =(+7),I adjusted the epa on tx, ch3 down to 0% which gave me a pitch reading of low stick=(-1) mid stick=(-1) and full stick=(+7),My doubts??,am i going in the right direction,or should i adjust pitch mechanicaly ie by the rods to blades???,,i am not a complete newbie,i used to fly nitro helis,and got to fly moderate circuits,until i dropped a schluter 50 on my head,But i am back and eager to learn again,albeit an leci one. Any advice on my query will be appreciated.i am at the moment testing the set up on phoenix flight sim,just to get my orientation and attitude of the heli right.thanx for any advice and knowledge in advance,,steve

First I would check out these videos:

and
http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex450&filename=CCPM_Part_2.wmv
Both do an excellent job showing you how to set up a ccpm head.
You should be at 0 at midstick, and from the sounds of it you should be at +/-10 at full throw, so it sounds like your linkages are off somewhere.
I hope this helps out some.

thanx for reply kmfisher,i did look at finless bob,videos,which are great,but hese using a much more advanced tx to what i have,i have no sub trims,so i am assuming im going to have to adjust linkages more,its all a bit confusing at the mo,but i have all the info on this great site,so i will just keep plugging away,cheers again

It is confusing, it took me quite a while to get mine dialed in also.
It does get easier with time and practice though.
