When you set up your cyclic range, make sure you have no binding and you're good to go

hi,so are you saying just dial it out when I get to that point mate?

[waveydavey]

Yes, I've just edited my post, as you set your cyclic limit just drop the value until you have no binding, especially in the corners.

On your video you are at full negative collective, so the cyclic ring taper could be used...

• Cyclic Ring Taper - This parameter reduces the cyclic ring size by the set percentage at maximum positive and negative collective. You can use this parameter to eliminate binding of the head linkages when both full collective and full cyclic are preset.

thanks,but I think my back servo is dead! as I was adjusting it,when it started to jump up and down on its own! now it just flutters with no input! see video

Could not quite see on video, but i do not think yours have a serial number on the bottom of the servo....If not send back as there is a known problem with these...

I apologise for being pedantic but the instructions ought to say...... ensure collective pitch is set to perfect 0 degrees while measuring cyclic pitch........
