5 blade head w/ 720
I am building a MD500E 50 size scale bird. I am using Pantera mechanics, Xera 4035-400, CC 120 ESC, 2- TP 5S 5000mAh lipos,Lightning 5 blade head Skookum 720, Futaba S9252's on cyclic and S9256 on tail. I have a Perfect Regulator to run electronics at 5V, Flight Power 2S 4000 mAh lipo for electronics. I have got the 720 set up mostly. The swash, servos and tail are done. I have no clue how to set the 5 blade head up to get to zero pitch. The wizard only shows a 2 blade head. Anyone have any ideas?

RE: 5 blade head w/ 720
center the collective stick and make sure that the pitch setting at center stick is 50% in the radio. then make sure that the swash is level. take a pitch gauge and adjust the link connected to that blade until it reads 0. then do the same with ALL of the blades! but make sure that you measure it all in the same position. ex. if you measure it first from the from of the heli, measure ALL of the rest of the blades from the front of the helicopter. that should also make the blades track right. make sure they're all balanced too. if you ever take the blades off, mark somehow which blade goes to wich blade grip. hope that helps
