OK, so Ive watched Tony's video on using a digital pitch gauge and how the blades must be parallel to the boom.
I understand that with the blades parallel to the boom and the gauge on the front blade, you adjust the aileron (or elevator) pitch range to give you your desired range ie for scale, say +/- 8 degrees. Then if this is the setting for aileron, copy the swash mix setting for aileron to elevator.
So my questions are;
To set 0 degrees collective pitch at mid stick with a digital gauge, the blades must be parallel with the boom?
I want my collective range pitch to be +/- 10 degrees, do I just follow the same principle ie blades parallel to the boom, raise and lower the collective pitch stick to dial in +/- 10 degrees via the swash mix pitch setting?
Once I've got the collective pitch range, Id then want to set a scale flying collective pitch curve in the radio to give me about -3 degrees bottom stick, +4 degrees at mid stick and +8 degrees at top stick.
Do I still need to have the blades parallel to the boom to set this while using the digital gauge?
