Setting control arms at 90 degrees
Happy new year you to all!
I have moved my servo control arms out one hole. I have my forward and aft at 990 degrees, but cannot seem to set the aileron arms at 90 degrees. I have read the link and seen the photos, but the link only shows one side of the two.
The out come of setting these is to balance the swash plate. Any advise?

RE: Setting control arms at 90 degrees
Not sure which heli you are talking about but I am assuming Blade CP or CPP. With the stock TX sometimes getting a perfect 90 degree will never happen. You have to just get all 3 servos as close to that 90 as you can, then adjust your servo to swash linkages accordingly to level the swash.
If one has a programmable TX (Futaba 6EX or DX7, ect.) then one can get the servo arms as close to 90 as possible then use subtrim to get them all perfectly set.

RE: Setting control arms at 90 degrees
sorry about that, I forget that not everyone owns the same sometimes.
I am flying a CX2. The tutorials that have been linked indicate that the servo arms should be set at a 90 degree angle. If you move the aileron arm out one hole on the horn, it is practically impossible to get a 90 degree. SO I set the aileron back to the 5th hole and left the other side in the 4th hole. Doing better after serval adjustments.
Now I just need to figure the pitch out. I adjust the contoller, but it is always to much cause it swings back the other direction.
Also, I have an ever so slight bend in my flybar, brand new too, and I get the toilet bowl effect. I hope those two are related, cause my shafts all looked straight to me. So I will get a new one of those, and hopefully it will start to settle down.
