Default Logo 700 Turnbuckles
Just finished my new 700 and finding the pitch is about half a turn out. So was thinking of using turnbuckles.

Anyone know what turnbuckles I could use and where to find them?

Thanks!

is it just me or anybody else find those ball links too easy to pop off? Just worried it might pop off during flight as i am able to pop them in and out by hand.

I use OEM links from Mikado and wondering if you may have sized them. This should not be the case that you can remove them by hand.

Half turn is not a problem on the pitch links. They are already designed over a ball that the 3mm screw goes through (upper part of link attached to grip). Just remove the screw and do your half turn on that side and you are done :-).

I use the 'Lunsford titanium punisher' turnbuckles.

About $10-12 a pack of 2

Intended for cars but made in any length and thread.

For my 700 and 800 I bought the 3mm x 1 7/8 .

Did both heli's with one pack. Only need to track the master blade to match other one.

Also get the cheapie wrench , about 3-4 bucks , does the job good.


To adjust I take 2 small wrenches and put into each hole on ball end , then turn wrench. 3mm tight fit and if you don't brace then ball link they will stretch / pop off
