Default RE: Blade Tracking....

UPDATE....
I set the pitch to zero and made it so the pitch wouldnt change as i increased the throttle. I then tried to track the blades again, the faster the blades went the more out of track they were.
This is problem number one:
At about 3/4 throttle blade A rises above blade B, so i then adjust blade A so the pitch is slightly lower (only half a turn on the pushrod, smallest change possible) but then blade A is now below blade B at about 3/4 throttle......i cannot make a smaller adjustment so no matter what i do the tracking will not be good anywhere above 3/4 throttle.

Problem 2: I set the tracking as best as i could with the pitch set to zero (described above) and then i put the heli back into normal mode and went for a quick fly but after the adjustments i had made the tracking was horrible at half throttle (which i have at +5 degrees pitch in normal mode).

Sooo. now i dont know what to do, i could set the pitch in normal mode as best as i can so at around half throttle the tracking is fairly good but if i do that as soon as i go into stunt mode the tracking is extremely bad, or i can do the opposite and set the pitch as best as i can in stunt mode but as soon as i put it into normal mode the tracking goes horrible again. Can anyone tell me what to do, as this post shows..my problem is quite complicated and hard to describe in writing but i did my best.

Thanks in advance, Daniel
