REVIEW - RDLohr's FBL 0 pitch tool

[XY-FELLY]

Hey Rick,
I am new to all of this. I have that engineer view of things and I was thinking about a tool that I could help me get that zero pitch.

I was roaming the internet and found your website. I didn't hesitate, I went and got one of those. I still didn't test it (still on the way) but I have no doubt about it. If the tool is made well and the Head is made well, this tool will work for sure.

I think you will be happy with it. I've gotten lots of good feedback over the years. You would like my Swash Leveling Zip Tools as well. They make swash leveling a quick simple task.

Yeah, I did notice them. It seems that I will buy few of them. The idea does look promising.

Just found these, figured they needed a bump!

Should have a triangle one for 3 blade heads tho...

Interesting idea. I don't have any three bladed heads to try it on.

Actually, with todays digital guages, this tool isn't as important as it used to be. Some people just like the manual method, but the digital guages work fine. I appreciate the bump though!

Hi, I have a Hirobo Shuttle Plus I wanted to ask you which model is good for zeroing the head ??? I purchased the "TREX 700 Zero Pitch Tool" model but it is too large..too long ....... while the "Universal 250-450 Zero Pitch Tool" model that I also purchased is too small for my head Shuttle plus.
Which one do you recommend ??? the model "Universal 500-700 Zero Pitch Tool" in your opinion okay ????
Thank you

Hi maxmax1. The Shuttle Plus has a flybarred head in all the pictures I have seen. These tools are for setting up flybarless heads (FBL). What you would need is a flybar locking tool. I don't have one of those for this particular head. Off hand I'm not aware of a tool available for that head.
