titan pitch

[Mike W]

Well got the titan all together and most of it set up now ... Thing is i got way too much pitch .. If I lengthen the rod that goes from the servo to the pitch arm will it give me more movement over the servo range ??? ... My minds fried from building this thing lol ...This is the first heli i built from a kit ... Oh forgot to say the rods are set up as the manual says but I had to lower the end point in radio as it was binding ... N E help greatly appreciated

Switch on the tranny and set 0 degress Mid stick

You will then get +9 and -9

Instructions are Wrong

So Tranny to mid stick and work from there making everything at 90 degrees

re-set end points for now back to how they were

pitch servo needs turning around as well to get get a good 90 angle on the pitch arm and use the 3D point on the pitch arm don't use the 1st link point on the pitch arm

am using the second hole in and not the beginners pitch .... The servo sits on a push/pull to another push/pull connection then it goes to the pitch arm so i cant flip the servo... Plus side .. i got everything else set up for sunday lol ...if i lengthen the pitch rod then reset the servo arm to 90 with 0 at mid stick will it give me less movement on the servo .... hmm wil ltry that and see lol ...

I have a titan running around 9 pitch either way, but dialed down on the swash mix as i can get about 12 if needed. Let me know if you want my link measurements.

[Mike W]

yeh please ... I tried with the manual says and its like its getting way too much pitch ... think i gonna go through the head again ... something aint right lol .. This is all i got left to do it on it now...am trying to do it myself as i need the practice .... and the fact when i take it with me on Sunday it shud not need alot left doing to it lol ....

[Mike W]

update ... well i got the servo centered and put the rods on ... the rod to the pitch control arm is at what the manual says and when all @90degrees its nevgative pitch ... ahhhhhhh ......right lets start again .. when i set it up ... do i start from the servo and work my way upto the head of from the head down ?? .... sorry if this is getting on n e ones nerves lol ...

Right think i starting to understand now .. will put it together how i think and then try it .. .will take a pic when i done and see if its right lol ....

Start at the servo, making it 90 and working along

just keep the tranny at mid stick for 0 degress. You never know you might need to adjust the end points it is more than possible.

2 front arms from the servos are at 36.5mm and rear is 19.5 ( centre of ball to other ball ) with the balls on the servo arms at 13mm out from centre.

Long links from swash are 40.5mm, Washout links to flybar are 22.0mm and blade grip links are 19.5mm

On another note, head over to helifreak.com and check out the 450 ccpm setup videos. Thier located in finless bobs tech room under the 450 SE build thread. You'll have to register but they will tell you all you need to know.
