strange pitch set up problems
Hi
I am setting up the pitch on my blades -10 +10 usual thing to start only thing is when i set to 0 at mid stick and the move the servos around a bit the pitch will change to either a + or - can be anything from 3 up to 5 degrees doing my head in spent a couple of hours on this and getting nowhere. Checked the servos and they seem to be ok i.e centering at mid sticks also sprayed wd40 on the swash just to make sure it's not sticky but seems to be nice and loose any ideas would be great |

Disconnect your pitch servo and move the pitch linkage by hand, Make sure it is smooth with no binding.
I have found that on my Shogun, not to have the ball links too tight. |

I'd go over every linkage in the head and ensure it's running smoothly. Especially the elevator linkage. I've heard that applying a small drop of CA to the screw fixes the slop problem. Myself, I just opted for the eCCPM upgrade. It's infinitely better. Like night and day on the X-400. |
