My 1st Heli, mini titan

[ismith2uk]

Hi,
This is my first heli, and my first post on these forums.
I have built and flown fixed wing for over 10 years, but finally took the plunge and bought a mini titan kit, with stock motor and esc.

I have built the heli now (and thoroughly enjoyed it). The tail is set up correctly, and the gyro is doing all the right things (CSM 420).
All pushrods are the correct length, with sticks and trims centred the servos are centred, the swash is level and blades are at 0 deg.

I have balanced the blades (after reading artciles on this forum), and I have also balanced the tail blades.

What I am not sure about is which way the swash should move for left or right aileron. The swAsh goes down for positive pitch. Surely this would mean that if I apply left aileron, I would want more pitch on the right, and less pitch on the left, so the swash should angle away from the direction applied by the stick. Is this correct, because the manual seems to say that the swash should lean towards the driection that the stick is pushed.

Thanks
Ian

left aileron as u put it shud tilt the swash down the left and the opp with the right .. so right aileron is swash dips to the right .sounds like its doing it right ... the pitch shud be the same angle then the aileron movement shud lower that side of the swash .. so if ya say go 0 pitch and then turn right the swash shud tilt down to that side keeping the pitch at the angle that it shud be ..

Just to add to mikes post, they will tilt left when pushed left stick when your looking from the REAR of the heli towards the front!
