E6/7 Important Information - Right Rudder Travel - DO NOT USE ALL OF IT

[ROSSCO]

Do not use all of your right rudder travel. You will stall the tail blades when the gyro is trying to compensate!
Leave a 4mm gap between brass slider and tail box flange bearing. See shitty picture for illustration of correct amount of travel.

I'm presuming that zero pitch on the tail isn't center on the output shaft Ross in terms of what's available for the pitch slider to work with. I haven't had a chance to look at any manuals for this heli yet.

Thats correct Stu, I usually set mine up with the tail bellcrank set at 90 degrees to the boom and this gives me the required offset in the tail blades for torque compensation. With the required offset in the tail blades the slider has good travel either side and full travel is not required.
