Red,

THANK YOU!

My local heli mentor was at the field today and he told me the exact same thing. I popped the link off the long control rod (what he called "fine" adjustment) and turned 1 turn right (in). Flew it and the tracking was worse. Landed, turned 2 turns out and tracking was almost perfect (or maybe as perfect as it will get). I think if I turned out 1 more it would be worse again so I left it.

I might try adjusting it 1 more turn out next time I fly just to see if it makes it better or worse.

He said that's a problem with many Align wood blades. They are very often "off" due to the wood being warped so very often when you put a new set on you will have to adjust the tracking if you want it perfect.

I also noticed (as you mentioned) the training gear balls were vibrating much less after I adjusted the tracking.

Now, I think I'm going to order that AXI cooling head for the stock MT motor after all. I'd rather do that now and put the extra $$ towards my E550 Raptor or H550 Hurricane.
