❍ Push the collective (left stick) all the way up.
❍ Level the blades and flybar by lifting on the guage.
❍ The top of the guage and flybar should be parallel or very close. (figure I below)
❍ If more pitch is needed to get +10 degrees we will need to access the Function Mode on the
transmitter.
■ With the transmitter already on, press scroll and increase at the same time.
■ Press scroll until MIX CP2 is displayed.
■ Press channel until MIX CP6 is displayed.
■ Use increase to add more collective. You should see the collective increase as you make
the adjustment. Increase until +10 is obtained.
■ Check clearance A between the top of the washout base and bottom of the main
rotor housing (figure J below). The gap can be tighter than what is shown but they
surfaces should not be butted together.
■ If you are unable to reach +10 degrees before the surfaces touch, there is a
problem with linkage elsewhere. Go back and recheck your linkage.

● Now we check the negative pitch.
❍ Set your pitch guage to -10
❍ Place it on one of the main blades.
❍ Pull the collective (left stick) all the way down.
❍ Level the blades and flybar by lifting on the guage.
❍ The top of the guage and flybar should be parallel or very close. (figure K below).
■ Check clearance B between the top of the collar and bottom of the swashplate (figure L
below).
■ If you are unable to reach -10 degrees before the surfaces touch, there is a problem
with linkage elsewhere. Go back and recheck your linkage.
