300X TAIL ROTOR BLADES PITCH; HOW?

HOW DO YOU PICTH YOUR TAIL ROTOR BLADES?

[sn00p]

Sorry your question was a little vague....


So here goes. Im pressuming your asking how to set your tail rotor pitch. For me i just fire the heli up whilst on a flat level surface. Let it initialise then pull the power to the heli without moving the heli. Check your tail servo horn is centered at 90'. Now loosen the 2 screws holding the servo in place on the boom. Carefully slide the servo up or down the shaft until you get the tail rotors approx 0' i.e flat and level. tightem the mounting screws. Now just make sure the adjuster rod is perfectly aligned down the middle of the boom and NO binding occurs when sliding it by hand with the power off. Now just go in to your beastx settings and re-set the maximum tail movement so avoid binding atthe end points.

I personally have mine just off centre or 0' pitch to allow compensation of the main rotors. Literally just a degree or 2 will suffice.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT ADVISE.

There is (we all know) a fair amount of slop (no!!) in the tail. For a setup, I'd grab the blade and (gently) twist it to see what the max pitch is. I am thinking that that will be the actual pitch while flying.

Normally heli's are setup with about 5 degrees of tail blade pitch, with the slider centered in its range (at least most heli's). That's about what you would need in hovering to counteract the main rotor torque.
