Hi, i see on most setup videos they say to centre the slider on the tail shaft but mine if i centre it my tail blades are not at 0 pitch does this matter.

Thanks JohnAu.

Not only does it not matter, thats the way its supposed to be :)

At centre on the slider you should have around 8 degrees pitch, 'cause this is the average to keep the heli straight if a gyro was not installed.

Nice one - I recommend jumping on to the Finless setup videos - covers that very nicely
