See your radio, receiver, and gyro manuals for how to hook up. Instead of giving you the exact length of each linkage rod we will explain to you what you are trying to achieve.
  • Page 91 First, set your radio so that all travel values are at 100%. If you have a radio with Swash Mixing set, ser those values to 50% (Aileron, Elevator, and Pitch.) Then use servo reversing so that all servos are moving in the right direction. If Pitch operates reversed, change the value in the Swash Mixing from + to -.
  • Page 92 Step 3:Connecting the Washout assembly. Connect the fixed length plastic “A” arms to the Swashplate, connect to the two longer pivot studs, if all four are the same length then any two will do. The next step is to adjust the length of the linkage rod between the Washout Arm and the Flybar connection point.
