My experience is that the advancing blade should be at the minimum pitch angle for directional flight (and retreating blade at max). To me then this setup made sense because when I align the rotor head with the airframe and pushed the pitch stick forward, the blade perpendicular to the airframe traveling forward went down, and the opposite blade when up. The two blades parallel with the airframe did not change pitch. But I’ve learned dealing with drones that not everything scales, so that’s why I’m asking. I won’t have access to the instructions for this heli again until next week so I’ll look and see what they say regarding the setup.
Okay, that helps a ton. I know the wiki mentions that, but this way of stating it clears up my confusion. Thanks!
I found this post where Chris describes a setup procedure for an H4-45. I know this is on an older version, but would his approach still be valid on the current firmware?
Thanks for all your help! I know as this project goes on I’ll be asking more questions.
