    This is the one that I use for my Velo 50 Deluxe Swashplate Leveler T-REX 600 (Silver) HR1025

    All you need to do is slightly bend back the guide to slip it in.

      take the head off and tiewrap an allen key to the main mast or a bit of wire best about 50 deg for clearance. rotate the main gear which in turn rotates the wire and level your swash.

        I now agree with the advice I recieved from an experienced flyer. Just do it by eye. Watch the trim as you spool up and correct if necessary. Prepare to land and correct if necessary. I can get it within one click by eye.

          Can't do that with FBL though.

            Nothing is the same as a proper levelling tool .

            A cable tie/hex key is one short cut way but not best imo.

                Im also using a 600 leveller on my velocity 50 but its not ideal tbh. The leveller sits on the ball links and not on the swash plate and the anti rotation bracket gets in the way of the tool. To solve this I have an old anti rotation bracket that I have ground down to about half its original thickness which I fit when i'm levelling the swash. This provides enough clearance to fit the tool in.

                  True about the flybarless. No fiddling allowed. Must be difficult to stop yourself. I am in an overconfident phase at the moment. Or was until the feathering shaft came undone because I'd decided to try it out before putting the loctite on. It does hold long enough for you to get forget you were going to check it before each flight. So easy to check for a bit of play there. Even easier to forget. Even Phoenix has crashed now. Something about a missing zlib1.dll or something similar. Does the swash have to be accurate for flybarless or does it sort it all out for you. Perhaps it needs to be accurate because it sorts it all out and you can end up with assymetric response. I must get an mcpx...

                    i can assure you-owning both-it makes NO difference. save 15 quid and do this-been doing it that way for many years-flybar and fbl. i never go looking for my swash tool anymore.
