Linkage Lengths

[kmfisher]

I just got a reply from eflite about the stock linkage lengths (only took about two weeks)

Washout Base to Flybar Paddle Control Frame Rod Linkages (2pcs total;
Both MUST be the same length) Overall Length = ~33.90mm

- Elevator Servo Arm to Elevator Bell Crank Arm Linkages (2pcs total;
Both MUST be the same length) Overall Length = ~70.75mm

- Aileron Servo Arm to Swashplate Linkage Standard Overall Length =
~56.85mm

- Elevator Bell Crank Arm to Swashplate Linkage Standard Overall Length
= ~51.65mm

- Pitch Servo Arm to Swashplate Linkage
Standard Overall Length = ~45.00mm

- Inner Swashplate to Bell Mixing Arm Linkages (2pcs total) Standard
Overall Length = ~61.25mm

Linkages in order to set the bottom of the plastic swashplate outer ring
and bearing to approximately 16.25mm from the top of the main frame.

These are straight from E-flite and are supposed to be the "stock" lengths.

Hope this helps out.

MIght be bad, but I dont measure anything like that. Even my 600 build that I am working on right now....I just make sure (well I measure them compared to each other) they are equal lengths then I just eyeball for levelness.

I figure starting from scratch you would have something to start with. Then follow normal set up measures?

Yeah well the 400 nothing to it, just tweak stock settings - but 600 you are correct they give you sizes and everyone and their brother posts their sizes. Thats what took me so long on my 1st go around....now I just use a suggested size, ensure both links on either side are exact and play around from there if I tighten one, I will loosen the other to comensate so there is no binding.

Just my redneck way of doing it, if I could just put a piece of duct tape on it and call it good I would :YeaBaby:

I hate to burst your bubble Lock, but... You may use duct tape, but you are NOT a redneck sir. You live to far West to be a redneck. :lol:
