Hey FF,
when adusting for tracking, If I noticed one blade is tracking higher than the other blade and I want to decrease the pitch of the blade that runs high, HOW DO I KNOW WHICH LINK CONTROLS THE BLADE THAT RUNS HIGH ?????? It would make thing a lot easeir!
Also, to decrease the pitch of a blade, do you shorten the link ??????????
Viewing the model from the side, turn the main rotor by hand in the direction that it is supposed to (CCW as viewed from the top). When a mixing -arm pushrod passes , the next blade to pass is the one it controls. I paint the tip of one blade red with a marker. I also paint it’s associated mixing-arm pushrod red with nail polish. That way I don’t get confused when I’m at the field. Remember that the blade that is high is “FLYING HIGH” which means it has too much pitch so you’ll have to ‘SHORTEN’ it’s mixing-arm linkage. To clear up any further confusion I made a label that reads: “high blade, shorten” which I taped to the inside of my canopy.
Hope this helps,
Beaner
