No forward flight
Been flying my mSR for several months with no problems. Now, after a few non fatal crashes, it will not fly forward. Trim is all the way up on the Tx. My question is, to increase forward control, do I screw in on the right linkage? Also, should the swashplate be level at neutral or slightly tilted one way or another? This is my first post on RCU. Thanks in advance.

RE: No forward flight
I have heard about the swashplate halves becoming slightly separated try gently squeezing them together that might correct the control geometry. I also on other helos that were under controling i moved the linkages out from the servo (dont know if this will work with the SR but what the heck!

On the MSR swash plate halves, if it is separating you can take apart and add a small amount of CA glue. Just be careful not to get it inside the swash plate.

RE: No forward flight
It just happened to me today on my SR the worst Ive ever seen an almost complete separation that caused the main rotors to bind. I squeezed it back together and it worked like a dream.
