Great thread guys. I'm on page 36 and my eyes are bleeding! I just got my BCP and was doing a control test, and at full throttle I only get 5 deg pitch unless I put the throttle trim up all the way. Is that normal or should I adjust the linkage so I get full pitch with no throttle trim?
Also I crashed and the paddle blades pivoted and lost their original setting. Any suggestions on the proper angle to set them at? Finally, if I get the aerobatic kit will it make simple hovering easier? Thanks for any help guys, hopefully in a couple of days I will finally be comfortable enough to go higher than 3ft and hover for more than 10 seconds at a time! As soon as the tail spins around more than 90 degrees my brain farts so I have to set her back down.
Paddles should be at zero degrees to the head. Make sure their perfectly level to the head and each other. And check the distance from the head as well. They need to be equal.
On the blade pitch, what mode are you checking in. Unplug the motors and check them in idle up. You should get +10 and -10 or close to it.
