I decided to go a little old school on the setup. Is it perfect, no far from it but it is more accurate than the crap on my phone. Heli pitch gauge app and my new phone do not get along. What took me 20 minutes today took all day yesterday.
I ended up starting from square one. I took a right angle triangle (one for drafting) and re 90°ed the servo arms. I popped all the swash links and reset to 5.6 mm center space.
At that point the swash was just a few clicks of sub trim in the fbl software. I used a swash level to check the swash. It was as dead on as I could tell with the tool.
With that done I went ahead and reassembled the main shaft with the head block and blades. I check for 0° pitch at mid and was off by 1 turn after resetting back to book specs of 13.6mm. Went full positive and it was off the scale so I dialed it down to 11°+ the opposite is at 9.5 or 10°-. So I need to check that out. For aileron and elevator I set them to 8°+ and the negative needs to be adjusted. I have to fix the swash location first on collective before the cyclic is good.
All I need to do is check the wash out arms and see what way they are out if wack. Once I check that out then I will be able to make my adjustments.
I am still down a linkage end. The size is 4.8mm, I check the protos linkages and they are way to small. A main does not carry the x3, heli direct is out, Gaui's site does nor list them rotoarywingrc.com has the rods but not the ends. So who know how long. Besides I am still waiting on 2 batteries to show up, and there is no restock date as of yet (for both the ends and batteries).
Yesterday when I did my ec3s, I got the plastic part on the wrong component. After looking at my charging lead I noticed it. I should have check first. I got the brass part right just mixed up the plastic housing. So I fix the charging leads to match my setup.
I will keep updating Here as I make more progress.
