    Oh Noes, i think im such a plonker about blade tracking adjustment

    Right just watched parts of the fineless 101 to blade tracking and all along ive been adjusting the long linkage from the swash plate instead of that short one
    i think its called trailing edge controls its the short one that near the flybar

    if it is the wrong one ive bean adjusting then im going to be seriously mad about myself.

      You use both rods to adjust blade tracking as needed.
      The long link for fine adjustment and the shorter link for coarse adjustment on a standard bell-hiller mixing system (which most heads use).

            iv always known that when u adjust the short link its 1 turn= 1mm and on the longer link 1 turn= 1/2mm. so always get it almost right with the small link then fine adjust with the long one
