Blade Tracking Adjustment (continued)
Typically, not much adjustment should be necessary to properly track the main rotor blades. If significant
adjustments are required, be sure to double-check the length of both pitch control links (they should be close to
the same length) and also check the blades for warps or twists. In most cases, you should be able to get both
blades tracking perfectly in the same plane. However, due to the small size of the pitch links and threaded rods it
may not always be possible to achieve absolutely perfect blade tracking. Don’t worry, as the helicopter should still
perform well as long as the blade tracking is adjusted as closely as possible.
Flybar Paddle Tracking Adjustment
While main blade tracking is a critical element to flight performance, proper flybar paddle tracking and positioning
is also important in maintaining proper control response and vibration-free operation.
For proper flybar paddle tracking, positioning and adjustments, please read the tips below:
• First, be certain that both flybar paddles are equally spaced from the ends of the paddle control frame.
• Next, be certain that both flybar paddles are parallel to the paddle control frame.
• If you have made certain that both flybar paddles are parallel to the paddle control frame, they should now be
parallel to one another. If they are not, take your time making adjustments, ensuring that both flybar paddles are
positioned parallel to one another and the paddle control frame.
• Once you have positioned the flybar paddles correctly following the steps above, be certain they are firmly
secured using the included screws, washers and hex nuts.
