Tips Out Of Track —
Adjustment Necessary
Tips In Track —
No Adjustment Necessary
• If the tips are not tracking in the same plane, power the helicopter down to make adjustments to the adjustable
linkage. You can start by turning the ends of the linkage in one-half to one-full turn at a time. Power the helicopter
up again and re-check the blade tracking.
If the tracking has gotten better, continue to turn the ends of the linkage in one-half to one-full turn at a time until
the tips are tracking in the same plane.
If the tracking has gotten worse after first turning the ends of the adjustable linkage in, turn the ends of the
linkage back out one-half to one-full turn at a time. If the tracking then gets better, continue to turn the ends of
the linkage out one-half to one-full turn at a time until the tips are tracking in the same plane.
Typically, not much adjustment should be necessary to properly track the tips of the upper main rotor blade.
However, due to the small size of the linkage ends and threaded rods it may not always be possible to achieve
absolutely perfect blade tracking. Don’t worry as the helicopter will still perform well as long as the blade tracking is
adjusted as closely as possible.
Note: It will not be necessary to adjust the Lower Main Rotor Blade tracking as fixed links are used between the
rotor blade and swashplate.
