readyheli swash tool for 600N works for 700 :)

It's not ideal, but it does work. helped me level my swash :)

Yeah, I heard Bob uses one... :)

:YeaBaby:Isnt that the 50% set up tool

yep :)
it's actually 51% on the 700, at least on my setup but used it to level the swash. It's a bit tricky to get setup so it's not off to one side or the other, but it's cheap and it worked well on the 600 and I figured wtf, I'd give it a go :). You can see the swash "sit" down on it and see if it's level, ie one side doesn't sit first or last etc....

Oh please no......

As long as it works gona use it when my 700 gets here:thumbup:

Trueblood is coming out with their 12mm 700N swash leveler , so Readyheli should be getting them soon. I have their 600 and 450 units and I really like them.

I'll add , that if you're using the align servo wheels and taken the time to setup your cyclic servos with no trim or sub-trims, you really don't need the leveler, as the swash stays level from -13 to +13.

cool, I look forward to that tool.
this wasn't meant to be an "this is an awesome find" thread. Moreso, we can make it work for now, just barely type of thread. My swash was level side to side, but visably not front to back. It appeared that my elevator arm was 90 but I guess it wasn't. Plus there isn't alot of adjustment on the arm actuator, or whatever that setup is called. So it had to be my subtrim/wheel alignment there. I am using Align wheels too. So yeah, I was off in my estimate, but this "fix" helped me to get it right. I could see the front sit down first on the tool, and just subtrimmed until it sat down right all together. Sorry if I worded things incorrectly as I'm still learning :)

On all the radios that I am familiar with subtrims move the endpoints by the same amount as the center and therefore do not create a coupling problem. Find the orientation of each servo arm that gives you the most level swash at zero with no adjustments and then dial each servo exactly with subtrims. I remember a time back in the early 450 days that Finless was a little skeptical but I believe that he now agrees.

That would work well.

Completely agree! Newer radios these days using subtrim does not effect end points UNLESS for some reason you maxed out your end points to begin with. I have personally test this with DX7, X9303, 14MZ, 12MZ, 9C Super..... In the old days really before LCD computer radios, this was an issue. I am sure there are some early LCD computer radios that have this issue as well but today's radios using subtrim will not give you CCPM interactions at the ends. Of course however, I cant speak for every radio out there....

but if you play with endpoints, it will affect your subs at zero pitch. My experience on the DX7.
