On the left side frame, there are
three pitch scales molded onto
the plastic frame. The three
different scales are designed for
beginner, intermediate or expert
F3C and 3D pilots.
•
Use the "pointer" on the collective
tray and the plastic molded scales
to set up the initial collective
control.
•
The actual blade angle in degrees
can be checked using a pitch
gauge (sold seperately).
(Hint for beginners)
FUTABA
6û hovering pitch angle is used for beginners, intermediates and experts. The throttle/collective must be
in the center position when adjusting the collective pushrod length to make the "point" line up with the 6û
hover point on the molded scale (see above diagrams).
Setting up Main Rotor Blades Pitch Angle
The hovering pitch angle should be at 6û. To get the 0û to 12û
collective range, mount the steel linkage ball at 10.5mm away
from the center of the collective servo horn.
