I haven't called the hobby shop today to find out if my tail boom is in, but in the meantime, I decided to work on setting up the pitch curves. I want to set it up to be capable of +- 10 degrees of pitch mechanically. I can only get it set to about +10 and - 3 to five mechanically. The manual is not clear as to which rod is the pitch rod (I've adjusted on the rods that go between the seesaw assembly to the blade grips and the rods between the seesaw assembly and the swashplate). I know that the manual states a pitch range of +10 to -3 for hovering, -3 to +9 for idle up 1, -5 to +9 for idle up 2, and -5 to +13 for autorotation (throttle hold). I know that the +- 10 is not required at my experience level, but I would like to know that it is there when I'm ready for it. Until then, I had planned on keeping the mechanical pitch set at around +-10, and go with the manuals pitch curves by radio set up. If what I plan on doing is just not possible, that's OK, I can get another heli or upgrade the head on this one when I'm ready for that type of pitch range. I know this heli wasn't intended for extreme 3D (which I'm far from ready for anyway). Just looking for some info at this point. Thanks again.

Happy flying.
