Shape S8

Well... Ummm... Hmm... how do I explain...

<grin> I guess the best way is, it looks super smooth, almost too smooth.. I'm used to seeing some "jerky" moves, and this had zero.

That's why I thought it might be stop motion.. as in, you took out the frames with the sudden, jerky movements... the fact it is NOT stop motion, just states how good the pilot is.

awesome!

Yes. Soko tool can be used to do a complete setup to include swash plate leveling...

I would look at 2 things, make sure your front Elevator "A Arm" is tight hard to tell from the video if it's shaking because it is loose or a bent main shaft. That is really the only 2 reasons the Swashplate should move.

Thanks but those 2 are perfect the main shaft is new and the arm is tight so I think it's normal..

Doesn't mean it's not bent from the factory. I have had bent mainshafts from other manufactures before
