titan x50 tail

[Raptormad2]

Hi have set up my tail and gyro today on my x50 followed set up from raptor tecnique ie the distance from tail slider to tail case 4.5mm as on earlier raptors am i correct
by setting to this as this gives a slight amount of pitch on the tail blades.
thanks,

It may have been done to help with the torque, depends what gyro your using most nowadays are setup for zero pitch on tail blades

Didn't think there was any guidance on the X50 on that site, but could be wrong.

Simplest way to do it (and this works for just about all 30+ size helis) is to first set the rudder servo output arm at exactly 90 degrees to the push rod at middle stick, then adjust the length of the push rod until there is 30mm between the tips of the tail blades when they are folded back against each other. If there is a transfer linkage in the system (not on the X50) then this should also be at 90 degrees to both push rods, and adjust only the length of rearward section of rod along the tail.

Just be sure that the blades are adding right rudder, not left in this configuration.

This will give you pretty much spot on the right amount of centre hover pitch.

From there, make sure you have +/- 100 % on your servo travel in the gyro settings, and move the ball in or out on the servo arm until it just doesn't bind both ways. You might find that the tail pitch slider very nearly binds one way and is no way near it the other, but this doesn't matter, because you have created the setup equally both ways from the neutral point - the rudder will work a treat and be nicely balanced left and right.

Job done.
