al and elev are -52. the reason is that the right servo arm (DS410M servos) will hit the gear in idle up if i give it full right stick. even at -52 it is very close. i put pitch at -52 for now because it is a new build and haven't put head on yet.

swash is level, have no interraction, servos are level at 50% in idle up (used viewing windows in frame to level), etc. using a DX7.

any opinions.

Neil,

I wouldn't worry about it at this time. Wait until you get the head installed and go through the process of setting up your pitch. That arm hitting the gear may just magically disappear.

Dave

You can offset the servo arm like done here, if you need full travel. You will need to level the swash with end point adjustment. I also trim the horn. You want the lower servo on the right hand side, so if you hit the gear in flight it won't get caught up.

Let us know how things come out for you... One other thing, during your, swashplate and head setup. You want to keep your swashmix at 50% for all settings. After setup then you can adjust the al and elev. to your flying style. And pitch setting for your 11 degree or 12 degree pitch on the blades.

Dave

my flying style is limited . i was comparing this build to the hdx450 i did. the servo degrees were higher in swash mix. that's okay for now.

i have to post a new thread about tail wag with the trex450 sport

-50 to set up head. what servo arm hitting main gear
