Hi.
I have watched the videos and found them very useful, thanks.

I did the setup as the videos and your posts said but one blade is good, the other is out.
After hours of trying, I was moving the swash up and down and noticed that the flybar control arms were moving odd compared to eachother.
I have replaced them but since then I had to adjust the swashplate distances. So its out again.
I am wondering if more bits are damaged, which is why I am having such a problem.
Thanks for the picture with the measurements.
I am going to buy new push rods and start again and replace everything even if its ok. That way I know if its me or if It was damaged parts.

I have also bought HS56 servos but I have not put them on yet.
When I do get round to installing them, as they are not digital do I have to adjust anysettings or an I just plug them in?
Thank you .

You will have to reverse the servo settings on the TX, for the elevator, aileron and pitch. Apart from that should be no probs. Although, the 56's are not that strong, I would recommend the 65's as a much better alternative.

When you are checking the pitch on each blade, are you doing it on the same side of the heli each time? Just wondering if the swash is moving a little as it raises/lowers. If it does, then the pitch will be different from left to right side.

Hi, Yes I am doing it on the same side of the heli when I check the pitch.

I was told by my LHS that the 65's wont fit in the B400. Oh well I have bought them now. Im only doing basic flight, so they will do for now.
My TX bat is flat so cant do any more fixing until tomorrow.
Will post results.

Hi.[sm=teeth_smile.gif][sm=teeth_smile.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Ive done it.
low -10 mid 0 full +10 flies great. Im so pleased although it took 5 days for me to get there.[sm=red_smile.gif]
Thank you everyone so much for your help and for support. You all been great. Cant thank you enough.

I found a slightly bent push rod, but I think the main problem was the flybar paddle control bar rods and the rods that connect the inner swashplate to bell mixing arm linkages.
Dont know how I missed it for 5 days but I got there in the end. didnt realise how critical it was I guess. Just 1 turn and its out.

I'm soooooo happy.

I'm sure I will be doing it all again ,but not to soon I hope.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Cheers.
