Mine length of likages from the manual was way too short once I put it into the head assembly.. Did others experience similar problemes?

Yes depending on which horns and which servos this all makes the difference. Simply setup to have the swash in middle of the travel between head base and bottom bases and adjust everything square as you would on any other heli from that part on.

ok.. good.. I thought i might havce built it wrong. I used hitec servos 5925 and I had to use the spacer provieded which states only to use them in Futaba servos. hitec and futaba were exact size. All set at 100% travel, and 12 max pitches both top and bottem, and at 0degree pitch, the servo arms, mixer were all 90 or level..

Yea I have yet to build one heli by any manufacturer where the links can out correct, they all need adjustment. The manuals are only there to get you close in regards to link measurements..
