intrepid gassers with skookum 540

[geomecc]

I have a question with tail set up. bergen recommends setting the t/r pushrod so it centers the t:r pitch slider in the center and adjust tail links so the heli hovers in rate so it ends up about 6*. skookum wants 0* on t/r pitch. do I follow bergen or skookum for better tail performance?

If you set it for 0 pitch you will have uneven travel limits.

The skookum is asking for 0 because that's how ALL other helicopters are mechanically set up for even travel left to right. It really has no clue what the pitch is on the tail blades, it simply wants even travel left to right.

So on the Intrepid, you set it for centering the pitch slider on the shaft.... Which means 6 degrees on the tail blades.
