What pitch gauge is being used for adjusting the pitch of the main blades? I have an E-flite pitch gauge that I have used on my Shogun and it is a bit too large for the small Gaui blades. I'm sure I can modify it a bit, but want to know of other options before I go there.

Thanks!

I just turned the main blades parallel to the flybar, like it said in the manual, and used a protractor

I use the one that came with my Diablo. It's looks like most you see I guess it just happens to fit the 200 blades.

I've got a Heli-Max,

Way to big, not much chance of a mod to it.... I folded my blades, pitched, then used a dime-store protractor to measure and divided by two. Got me running, but cheesy...

I'll call support, we all need this.

how do you like the diablo? i've had my eye on that ship. i've had a skyshark tail on my trex 450 for 12 crashes. not a scratch. i know that's quality

on topic...i use my align gauge. it just closes enough to be tight. not the best choice, but it works.

The Diablo is a great bird. Comparable to a T-Rex 450. Easier for me to fly than my Beam. I am still learning so nothing crazy yet. I can build em all day long, it's the flying that is proving to be a challenge. That and overcoming the fear. These things scare the hell out of me.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I went and modified my E-Flite pitch gauge anyway and it is working great.
