[sodfarmer]

I justa watched this video and did everything.

And now when i try to take off i have way to much negative pitch because at half trottle it starts shaking bad and will not take off. What is my pitch supposed to be with my stunt switcj at 0 before spinup? I set it a t zero with the left stick at center with the switch on 1 (stunt) like he said but it will not lift in 0 ( normal) what did i do wrong?

Link just shows a bunch of videos. Did you center your servos first? Level swash with left stick at center and fmode switch on 1 using swash levelling tool? Then use pitch gauge to set pitch. Even with negative pitch heli shouldn't shake? Check to make sure you didn't put blade grips on upside down(if you changed grips). In fmode 0 with stick down should see -10 /-12deg. with stick at center mine is at 0 degrees. Bird lifts off just above mid stick.

Centering those servos is a HUGE MUST. It wont be right until those suckers are dead on.

In that design rotor head, the pitch increases when the swashplate goes down, not up like typical heli's. Make sure your swashmix and servo reverses are set up right.

Agree....sounds like your pitch is reversed in your TX. Had the same thing happen to me after a rebuild....I had not caught it before trying to fly, and just tried to push the bird into the deck when I was trying to take off.

Hey guys, quick question: I have one blade at about 0 at mid stick while the other sits at about 2 degrees. I thought my spindle might be bent so I replaced it with no difference. Can I adjust the difference out using the links?

[T_Dogg80]

Nevermind. I manned up and dove in. Adjusted the lengths to within .5 degree of both blades at all stick positions. I'm ready to go outside and see how she hovers for the first time since I got her. Nervous. I'm probably going to post it with my Dx6i set up with this heli like from the factory on eBay. We'll see how the flight goes I guess.

Yep, you need to adjust the links to get the blades even. Have you watched any setup videos? Finless Bob did a series that walks you thru it pretty clearly. I HIGHLY recommend that you check them out! It will save you a lot of frustration and money!

Your signature suggests that you are selling the 450 3d. I s that true?

Oh yeah, I've watched them and numerous other ones numerous times. lol. I'm just always scared to break something else. I was at this stage the other day when my elev servo spontaneously died. Luckily my LHS had one in stock. Anyways, it all looks good right now, going to go and spool it up outside and see how it hovers.

Yes, I will be selling it. I just wanted to fix it up and set it for the experience. I don't really have any intention to fly anything this big. My 200 SRX and my sim are both fine with me for the time being.

[T_Dogg80]

Well, the flight went well. I hovered it and brought it all the way up to about 10-12 feet. It's still too much heli for me right now. While I did get to fly it, and she seemed pretty stable to me, it was too scary. Thank God it comes down solidly because I was so scared that the blades were gonna hit the ground and everything would fly apart. Luckily that didn't happen and everything was stable. Now to take pics and list this thing on eBay, I had a lot of fun putting it back together though and setting it up.

Dont sell. You have a great heli to learn on. You already learned how to set it up. If you can hover and land then it is too much heli for you. Keep the sim and sell the 200.
