Default Pitch problem

I am having a problem with my CPP when I undo the motors from the ESC and test the pitch in normal mode i barely get anything, in idle up a little bit more. I just installed the superskids and since it is heavy I guess I need more pitch.

thanks

I too put superskids on and had the same problem as you. I also had changed the position of the push rods to the second hole on the servo arm to make the thing a little tame, the extra weight of the skids had me at full throttle just to get off the ground. The fix for me was 1 1/2 turns out, increasing the pitch. This is my first attempt at flying "fling wings", mostly in the house, I have not had much luck outdoors, two crashes, lots of parts replaced.

Good Luck

I to moved the arms in the servo and I do not like the response I was getting as far as manuevering so I plan to move them back out. I guess I will try to move the pitch links up to get more pitch. But does anyone know which way to turn!??!

Loubo44,

To get more pitch, turn the control link counter clockwise, to make the link longer... Longer=More Pitch / Shorter=Less Pitch

I also fly with the stock motor and superskids. The pitch settings should be the same as without the super skids.

Unplug both motors. Turn on the TX, and plug in your battery.
Flip the IDLE UP switch toward you (the switch on the right)
Lower your throttle trim all the way down. Center all other sticks and trims.
Now, set the pitch of the centerline of the blades EXACTLY equal to the flybar.

Move the throttle up and down to the extremes to make sure you arent hitting the top or bottom.

Turn off everything and push the IDLE UP switch away from you.

Plug motor back in and check the tracking of the blades.

I bet you will find that it will now work perfectly.
