Tail Rotor Pitch with GY701

[Aerialist]

Quick question... The Outrage manual wants some pitch when you set up the tail rotor, however, the GY701 manual wants 0 pitch when you set up the tail to centered. Any idea which one I should do since they contradict each other?

Thanks

I am also using the GY701 in my Velo50 and have a few degrees of pitch setup when centered. Even Spartan recommends having a few degrees also. I know there are different opinions out there, but I've been doing this with all of my helis and they have been flying great.

It doesn't matter.. As long as the servo can travel max both ways without binding..

But the velocity provides more travel then max pitch aerodynamics provides which is 25deg., at 26 you have blade stall. Too much pitch and you can have poor stopping and can effect performance on pitch pumps.
I use Vbars setup, in rm horn 90ed, 2-3 deg. pitch on the tail blades and the max for aerodynamics / 25% for limits. Toally locked.
