How do I go about designing a swash leveler for my 270 CFX? What do I measure to get started?
It doesn`t matter how long the legs are, as long as they are the same length and the leveler is nice and flat. The other thing that`s critical is that the hole has a really good slip fit on the main shaft. If it has any wobble in it all when you put it on the shaft, you`re going to get false readings when you try to level the swash. One thing that you could do to improve it, would be to make the center section that slips onto the shaft a little thicker/taller. That would give more surface to ride on the main shaft. But it does look good. Let us know how it works out.
The main thing is to make sure that all of the servos are 90 degrees to the swash links. Your FBL system should have a servo centering menu, that will lock the servos at their center position. Once you`re in that menu, and all the servos 90 degrees, you can start adjusting the links. If they are not all 90 degrees, you must adjust the servo horn for each servo that is not 90 degrees to the link, before you start adjusting the links.I measured the linkages and had to adjust one. They are all even now. I'll work on it a bit more when I get time.
Meanwhile, can someone post a like to a good tutorial on using this device?
Thanks!
