Thread: 600 v2 problem

DSC00590.jpgThis is the position of my servo arm at 12° negative.

My servo arm seems to be a little 'higher' (more anticlockwise than yours at 12° postive).

But.......t think I have fixed it!

My main problem was that I was binding at about 3/4 high stick, so if I adjusted my swashmix so that this didn't happen then I wouldn't get full travel at negative stick, i.e. nowhere near enough travel from high to low to get near +/-13°

As I couldn't adjust the A arm, I decided to offset the elevator servo 'wheel' (sure that's not the right term!) by about 5° anti-clockwise:

(this is at mid stick)

I can now get full travel from high to low without binding at +55 on the swashmix.

Once I got everything levelled out again and at 90, I was actually able to get far more than +/-13, had to knock the swashmix down to +40.

So all in all I'm happy, but just not sure if what I have had to do was to compensate for something else in the kit/build being wrong.

Thanks so much for your time in offering help.

Good good good,if the next photo is one of it flying better still.

Hi Guys,
I too followed the manual when building the 600N v2 le and got the same outcome. Not enough range on +ve pitch. Everything is and was ninety, swash level. Then I took the head off and dropped a swash leveller/balancer (Turnigy 600) on, of the type that sits on the swash's prongs. And bingo. Though the swash was level, it sat as it turns out, about four turns higher on aileron and pitch sides when compared to the manual. So having adjusted links so that the balance tool sits on elevator as well and reset all other links per manual, I'm happy to report plus and minus 13.5 degrees, zero degrees at mid stick. And no binding; could get 14 degree each way I think with a push.
So for you guys who had, or are having problems; eyeballing swash levelness is/ or maybe ok but in this case it needs to be lowered onto the elevator A-arm link to get full range. Give it a try and let us all know how you've got on.

Stay safe.

I think what Leicester was saying was it "looked" level but wasn't.

Hi guys what swash mix settings did you start with?

I'm having same problem.

Cheers

Cheers Leicester managed to sort mine out by adjusting the two long links by 2mm first to get 0 degrees at mid stick with swash at default 60%. I then reduced pitch down to 32% now get my 10 degrees either way.

May consider getting a swash mix tool.

Cheers
