In what order do I setup the Heli :-
I assume I do it in the following order :-
1. ensure pitch +/- pitch range is obtainable with 0 degrees at centre stick
2. swash levelling
3. paddle allignment with level swash

Take the rotor head off and level the swashplate first - it helps to have the swashplate alignment tool which fits on the main shaft.
After you level the swashplate, make sure at half stick - the servo arms (links on servo horn) are 90 degress, as well as aero. and elevator control arms, washout and mixers on blades should also be level. Then go for your 0 degress at pitch, once adjusted, you should have close to +/-10 on top and bottom - if not, use Swash parameter in Radio to adjust the top and bottom ranges - makes slight changes with longer control arm connected to mixer on blade holder. Once you have set,
Adjust paddles to be level with the swashplate at half stick - you can use a pitch guage to level the paddles with the swashplate.
That should do it.
