2. Setting up

2.1 Setting up the cyclic control system
The basic settings for the roll-axis and pitch-axis control systems should already be correct if
you have installed the linkages exactly as described in the instructions. Since the lever lengths
are pre-defined, the final setting up is carried out using the electronic facilities provided by your
transmitter.
2.2 Main rotor pitch settings
The main rotor pitch is measured using the pitch gauge included in the kit. The following table
shows the recommended basic settings, but the optimum values may well vary slightly
according to your particular model and the rotor blades you are using.
Hovering and practice
Aerobatics
Auto-rotation
The best way of setting the correct blade pitch on the transmitter is as follows:
1. Measure the hovering pitch and set it to the correct value
2. Measure collective pitch maximum and minimum and adjust the values according to the
following diagrams, using your transmitter's collective pitch curve facility
