Default RE: Checking / Setting Cyclic Pitch

chazdraves,
Great - that is what I was looking for.

Any Raptor pilots want to suggest values for a 50 running a Quick UK head? (which I believe has identical geometry to the original TT head)

As for cyclic rings, I was flying mode 1 (Japan) but changed to mode 2 earlier this year because it felt better. Of course, you cannot use a cyclic ring with mode 1 anyhow, but I could use one now. So how essential / useful would one be for someone starting to feel their way into 3D?

I also felt the same as you said, incorrect setup and binding could lead to a catastrophic failure so I found it strange that while so much is available for all other aspects of heli setup, searching turned up next to nothing for cyclic pitch.
