so its self cali?

its possible my mid stick isnt spot on 0degrees

Yup self cal so you calibrate to the heli, either the body or I find the best spot is the top of the head. Very strong magnets a great tool.

See I've come a long way since this vid (c;

have you used this tool, i do often think my pitch isnt as good as it could be.

dont you have to calibrate it first tho on a dead level surface?

[GaryGraham66]

give me 5 mins I'm doing a vid now.

Nope you calibrate it ON the heli this way it does not matter how level your bench is (c:

thats where we differ you see i would always set the swash cock on level.

getting ppl to set there swash on the piss is a one way street to crashing

[GaryGraham66]

Every heli I build has the swash spot on, this was aimed at the complete beginner as it helped me to learn to take off and land.

Top tip for your big helis, do a search for Wixey digital angle gauge, a fantastic tool for getting blade pitch spot on.

i will get one and let you know as i do think my synergy bogs down on full pitch, just brought one £20

[dangerousdesigns]

oh i see to calibrate it

[dangerousdesigns]

how will putting it on the head help with the pitch of the blades?

dont it sit on the blades or have i got it all wrong

[GaryGraham66]

Like said in the vid, it helps compensate for the natural tendency for the heli to go back and to the left. Once you have learned to take off and land your thumbs do the job and you can set the swash back level again.
