banking problem-Blade CP
Hey,
I've been flying my blade CP for about a week now, and so far, everything has gone fine. (except for a bent feathering spindle). My Heli always wants to bank to the right, even though i have full left trim. I am thinking it has something to do with the pitch that i set the blades at when trying to re-track them. here are some pics of where my pitch controll links are.
Thanks for the help,
Zach

RE: banking problem-Blade CP
Left/right bank (aileron) and fore/aft tilt (elevator) are usually related to the swash plate. You should start out with a level swash plate, then fine tune it for any drifting. If you look at the swash plate from the rear with the sticks centered is the swash tilted to the right? If so, you need to level it by adjusting the left and right servo linkages. If the elevator is trimmed out ok try to adjust the linkages so that the fore/aft tilt of the swash plate doesn't change. After making swash adjustments check the collective pitch and tracking and make adjustments if necessary. Adjust the collective pitch by adjusting all 3 servo linkages the same amount to move the swash up or down without changing the tilt of the swash plate. Adjust the tracking by adjusting the linkages between the flybar and main rotors.
