What is the blade angle supposed to be when it is full throttle?
I think it is supposed to be around 10, right?
I moved the linkages for the servo arms and I am trying to re-level the swash plate.
Thanks

You should be fine, mine is about 9~10 degrees. When I moved the pushrods in from the outer holes of the servo arms (I went to hole number 3 from the outside) I did not touch the pushrod lengths, nor did I change transmitter trims and it flies trimmed with all trims in the center.
So, have you flown it yet?...Run it up a little?...Spin the blades a couple of times?

Havent had a chance yet- I think I might take it slow and go the RADDs way.
I have to re-level my swash plate, and then I am ready to go!

In normal mode throttle curve is 0% to 100% with a pitch range of aproximately -1 degree to +12 degrees. When in "idle up" throttle curve is set from 100% to 100% with aproximately 50% to 100% throttle ad mid stick (This value depends on the position of the knob at the left of your transmitter if you are using the stock one. At this settings the pitch range will be aproximately -12 to + 12 degrees.
This information was taken from the original manual. I hope this can help you.

The manual states 12 degrees...but in my experience, that's too much load for the stock motor. Rotor speed drops noticeabley at full throttle, even the first couple of minutes into the flight. 8~9 degrees is more comfortable load in my opinion. It allows a more constant head speed...and it maintains good climb rate.

yeah, the stock motor definitely cannot handle much as far as load, so you'll just have to see where yours fits (you're probably not into idle up flying, so centering the pitch range wont really matter at this point, just get it so it works for you, gets enough lift, and doesn't load up the motor too much). The cpp is like has been said, and the cp and cp+ are 0 to +10 in normal and -10 to +10 in idle up =)
