Default RE: BLADE TRACKING


ORIGINAL: Gavin2407

Blade grips on the new Titan 50 SE have the hex shape on both sides of the grips. This is because on the older Raptors, you had negative delta inputs (link on trailing edge of blade) but positive delta (link on leading edge of blade) on the new one.
Thanks for the correction. I did not know the newer Raptors had the hex cut on both sides.

You would notice that if you had installed the blade grip wrong, then one blade would be positive pitch while the other would be negative.
How can you install ONE grip wrong if both grips are the same? There isn't a left and a right grip. You either install both of them wrong or install both of them right (depending on what you call right or wrong, trailing edge control or leading edge control) So the posibility of installing ONE of them wrong is NULL. UNLESS you install other parts wrong to fit your wrongly intalled grips.

The comment on my post above, was more of an insinuation that a blade could have been installed backwards. I've seen it happen, several times. Other than that, you would have to intall both grips a certain way and then make the rest of the head "fit" the way you installed the grips. I've also seen it happen.
