d) A pitch gauge to set the slant/pitch of your blades. $15 - $25, depending on which
and from whom. Once you know your settings, variable gauges are overkill. You can
also make one by using a protractor. Draw a trapezoid like this:
The top angle needs to be 5° (beginner), this represents mid throttle on left Tx stick.
When the blade is pitched 5°, the upper edge will sight LEVEL with the flybar. See prior
photo. Now make one 8-9° to represent full throttle, and 0° to represent idle. Note the
cutout in the middle so you can install it on the blade. If you make (2) of each angle,
this goes much quicker. Also, gluing the paper onto cardboard and cutting with a
straight edge and razor would be good. The angles given in the Walkera book are NOT
for beginners, that's why this thing's so touchy in hover.
