Okay...If you're a Blade SR owner you're aware that according to the manual, "when you raise the collective/throttle the swashplate LOWERS to increase the pitch", right...which is contrary to most CCPM Helis which do the opposite.
After I Setup and Leveled my swashplate, which included: Setting the Servo directions, interactions and centering of the servo arm linkages at 90deg...Leveling of the swashplate at mid-stick (mechanically), and at low-stick and high-stick (electronically via travel adjust) and then setting the collective and cyclic ranges.
This is where the trouble begins...I end up with +11deg pitch at "LOW-STICK"...0deg+ pitch at mid-stick...-12deg of pitch at "HIGH-STICK"?????? This is of course the opposite of what you want in a CCPM heli. We've tried everything to reverse this situation to no avail! We actually set up a reversed pitch curve and she flew, but I know that's not right. Nobody has done that on any of the dozens of setups I've seen for the SR!?
I know this must be something simple (I hope!) that we are missing...
Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you SOON!
