Flybar, rotor, swashplate angles

[mjb10000]

Hi all,
I had my first RC heli flight (hover more truthfully) today. I bought a Twister CP V2 and spent an hour or so hovering and bunny hopping around the garden.

I noticed this evening that one of the flybar paddles was a bit loose and I twisted the other one which I then discovered was loose too. Net result I'm now sitting with flybar paddles at arbitary positions. With the swash plate level, and the main rotor at zero pitch?, how do I reposition the paddles?

TIA

Level the paddles to the swash plate ( make sure the swash sits level ) Then If they are the same paddles as on the FP, tighten the small screws on the flybar paddles so as the paddles don't move at all unless you force them quite hard, if they are loose, chances are it will shed one in flight, and they come out at a hell of a speed.

So the aim is to have the swashplate, rotors and flybar paddles all at horizontal/zero pitch. The paddles do have small screws -I'll tighten them up. Thanks.

What you should have, is the Paddles level with the swashplate, you should also have the blades level ( 0 degrees pitch ) at some point, being collective pitch, as you increase throttle, the blades pitch increase's as well, best to leave the main blades alone if you don't have a pitch gauge. If you are unsure of anything, take it to the shop you bought it from and get them to check it over, also look for an Indoor model club in your local area, they will be able to point you in the right direction.
