Default Re: 3D pitch ranges

Mavrick- just use a standard pitch gauge on the main blades as you would to check the collective pitch.

-Center your throttle/pitch stick and make sure you are at zero degrees.
-Rotate the rotor head so that the blades are either aligned with the tail boom or at 90 degrees to it. (doesn't matter for now)
-Now add full aile or elev. Which ever changes the pitch of the blades is what you will be measuring.
-Level the flybar with the given cyclic input and record the pitch measurement. That is your cyclic pitch.
-Repeat this for the opposite direction of cyclic input. Rotate the head 90 degrees and measure for the other cyclic input.
-That is it !
