- Zero pitch on a flybarless helicopter using a standard pitch gauge and bubble levels.
There is significantly more to this than what I am showing, but this is a good example of one way of determining zero degrees pitch.
This example assumes your main shaft is perfectly perpendicular to the main frames. If it is not, then this method will not work for you and you should probably spend some time trying to figure out why it is not square.
Excellent Video! For me, every tid bit of information I can learn about set-ups on Helis is Gold to me, Thanks!
The reason why that bubble is slightly off like that my friend, is to compensate for stillness or lack of lift .For those who don’t understand, when your blades are in motion , as you can manually twist the blade by hand to completely center the bubble (when still) the same amount of pressure is produced when the blade is in motion from blade curvature plus lift plus centrifugal force or blade weight which will actually accuratly zero it so It’s not a flaw, everything is perfectly machined considered in the design so you’d want the slight Micro sag when still.
really good video, I like being as accurate as possible,thanks
I know this is 11 yrs later (2/22 ), Instead of using a 'turn buckle", for the half turn, Why not use the sub-trim for the minute' adjustment ? , But I love your idea of using the older pitch gauges, These new digital ones suck, Even using a reference point and measuring it all at the same point, always flickering to the + - Degree, . I seen another vids where the guy is spinning the blade around with the pitch gauge wondering why its different readings all around,, and some suggesting the swash plate wasnt level,, It is important to kinda understand the concept of whats going on, To me, Even Micros, if out of control due to poor inputs in the radio or wrong adjustments are still a couple knive blades whipping around , can hurt you pretty bad, The truth be known that a couple years ago (2013 ) a 19 yr old from Brooklyn ny had , I believe a 700, doing aggressive 3D manuvers, an avid well experienced flyer, It killed him by decapitation.. and never be afraid to use the throttle hold if out of control..... that was my safety speech, lol ,But Great Video and Idea.
as long as you have a flat surface to work from, you'd be better off turning the heli till you find the level plane from left to right. Yes, there is always a level plane even on an unlevel surface. Take your level and lay it flat on your table and rotate the level till the bubble is center.
Excellent tutorial Patrick. Do you have a URL to those turnbuckles you purchased, and how did they work out?
Outstanding class, thanks
You are very welcome.
Great video!
very clever method.
Ok thank you my friend
thanks for the tip
hello i saw all your explanation about your set up. about your flybarless...and i saw also your heli you have a regulator reactorX. but i check all your videos you have videos or explanation how to set up your microbeast to servo and Reactorx regulator.. i, just want to know beacause we planig to buy..so just reply me if you have time thanks my friend
aren't turnbuckles 2.2mm and align ball links are 2.7mm (i think)? how did you make them fit?
Where did you get your pitch gauge, I'm having a hard time finding one with the bubble on it. Thank you.
Thank you, finally a clear video for noobs like me
hi where do you get your turnbuckles ,i cant find any place
thanks
Hi
Which gasser conversion you are using?
WaY! THANKS GREAT IDEA!

good job,on that zero degree..................
that thing is a flying saw!
you could just use 2 picth gauge
