Don't need no stinkin directions we are men! :twisted:

Note the positions and orientation of the motor wires then un plug them.
turn on the TX and power up the heli. Switch to idle up and adjust the linkages until you get the same degrees both negative and positive. If you don't have a pitch gage you can pretty much eyeball it . should be even with the paddles at mid stick and equal amount of + and negative at the extremes. Take the time to mark one link with a silver sharpy, white out, white paint etc, and only mess with the other one when you adjust tracking (you'll wear off the marking elsewise) to keep from running the setup out while chasing tracking. Being that if one blade is left at the correct pitch the other can't be far off.

Reset/reconnect the heli and have fun.

I think thats what happened..I messed with both links,so Idont think I have a right pitch.anyone have the correct measurementsThis is the links I messed with.

wcairsoft3r It's really as simple as the proceedure above. Pretty much in IU (or acrobatic mode) with the motors disconnected mid throttle stick adjust both blades flat and you are there. It's better than trying to use a measurement which is only a "starting point" for final adjustment . If I still had one to measure or had the measurements I'd certainly share them.

Another nicety of being where you are. If you adjust the blades flat at mid throttle and get more positive than negative or vice versa you can raise or lower the swash with the other 3 (lower) links until it all comes out even the heli will fly better and you'll like it more. With out checking that you are pretty much at the mercy of the guy that built it, as far as quality of the setup.

yea,thanks for the info..these link are the ones that control the pitch of the blades right?

[swatson144]

Yes

Hi wcairsoft3r, from ball link to ball link is 36 milimeters. But mine is not yet tracked.

[wcairsoft3r]

so the space that the rod is visible is 36 milimeters?or from the bottom of each link?thanks for the measurement!

[eddiemoth]

My measurement is from the mid of the swashplate ball link to the mid of the other end ball link (top one).

[wcairsoft3r]

thanks!


another question..are the gears for the blade cp and cp2 the same?i stripped my hain gear,and the hobbyshop by here only carries blade cp parts

[eddiemoth]

Most of Blade CP and Esky Honeybee CP2 parts are exchangable. However, Blade CP main gear cannot be used with the Esky Honeybee CP2 without modification. Esky Honeybee CP2 main gear is two pieces and Blade is one piece. Another thing is the main motor: the shaft of the Blade CP motor is a little longer than the Esky HB CP2.
