Pitch setting tool $2.79

[drd]

I level the swash using the Allen Wrench trick some Helifreak discovered, then when setting the blades at 0 deg, center sticks, I lay a small level on the boom and hang a surveyer's level on the flybar, given both are level,I can set the pitch. The surveyers level has hangers which they hook onto a string. It cost 2.79 at Home Depot and I just hacksawed it to fit flybar and CA'ed the endpieces back on. I gives me confidence that the pitch is right.
