Adjusting the paddles on aerohawk
 

According to the aerohawkmanual the paddles shall be adjusted so it's horisontal to the ground and the main rotorhead. When I adjust the paddles like this and then turns the mainrotor 180 degrees, the paddles will not be horisontal to the ground anymore..When I turns the rotor 180 degrees one more time the paddles are horisontal again.
What can I do about this? In what position shall the paddles be horisontal to ground/main rotorhead?

How hard should the screw that fixes the paddle to the main rotorhead be tightened?

Make shure that the swash plate is perfectly level.

The Swash plate controls the Paddles and if it is not level it will turn them.

The paddles should be VERY snug to the flybar.

Good luck:D

How can I adjust the swashplate?

Shall I just manually adjust the swashplate so its perfectly level, and then adjust the padles and tighten the screw?
The swashplate is not level when I connect the battery..

Yes,

You can take off the servo arm screws and adjust them so that the swash is close to level then use the trim on your radio to make it perfect!

thanx!
Why isn't this done on the factory? (and the user manual for this heli really stinks!)

True the manual is really skinny, a trend with some rc equipment it seems. Doing all the trimming at the factory wouldnt be very good sinse alot of parameters change as you mount this thing togheter, besides you need to go over trim adjustments often anyway,,,so better learn it :).
