swift tail setup
Hi
I am in the process of building my swift kit.
I have some issues with the tail setup ( page 18) - how come the pitch angle of the tail should be 0 at center position ? it does not make sense at all
in addition , when I follow the instructions ie move rudder to the right , pushrod moves fwd increasing the pitch - but that makes the nose go left
where is the problem , me or the manual ?
in addition , when I turn by main shaft as if in auto rotation the clutch prevents the tail from rotating as well , can you do auto rotation without tail control at all ?
tnx
Aviv

RE: swift tail setup
Go to www.swift-tuning.com for information on auto-roation with a swift. If Im understanding it right (still haven't got my swift's esc to work right so I cant fly yet) the tail rotor shouldnt turn during and auto.
