Just trying to get to grips with my sceadu pitch.
So far I have, at max idle-up 2, +12 degrees and -7. Is this normal / good
enough? Should I shorten the pitcgh rods to get less + and more -?

You should be able to squeeze at least 22 degrees out of the Sceadu. In
idle 2 I used to run +/- 9 degrees as this was my 3D set-up. Idle 1 I ran
+/- 11 degrees. Normal I ran -4/+11

You will need to play with the rods to get this range, but be careful to
ensure you maintain 0 degrees with the swashplate at the centre of its'
travel. You should be able to sort this without needing to resort to bent
pitch rods too.

Good luck, again !
