Default adjusting the pitch control

hi all,


well, after i changed my main shaft and my center hub, the main blade is showing two blades when spinning. in my manual, they told me to adjust the pitch control? or something like this?

But after adjusting it, i still see no difference.. Can anyone help me?


when i mean it's showing two blades when spinning, i mean that when the main blade is spinning, you can see like there are two blades, one higher and one lower. I guess this is cause by the tilt of the main blade? well, the black, smaller blade is perfectly fine.

What heli do you have? if its a Blade CP or CPpro go to www.bladecprepair.com and it has a nice little section on adjusting blade tracking. If its a CX or CX2 try http://www.heli-max.net/mediawiki/in..._and_CX2_Setup

that is great information. I have clade cp pro. But i'm new to helicopters so after reading them, i still have no idea. There are terms there and info that i just don't get., is there a possibly way that i can find a video that shows you. I'm a visual person, so i need to see it to be able to do it.
Please help

I think you're referring to adjusting the main rotor tracking. When you say it looks like there are two blades when spinning do you mean it looks like this: http://www.bladecprepair.com/manual_pop/tracking.html

this is a fairly old video tutorial that I found online many months ago.... It is for the Blade CP, not the pro but for main rotor tracking the basics are still the same. this guy has 5 videos and if you watch all of them you might find some useful info and at the least be able to identify more of the parts on your CP Pro.
