Wait, dont' reset it. It's not flybarless, so everything is pretty simple. My bad on that part lmao. Reading too much.

np lol I understand u have a lot going on and I ty for the help .
Has come you are the only one replying ? where is everyone else ?
but yes mine is a FB and has the GP900 gyro .
I know im close because servos are at 90 and with my stick at center and my hold on and in idle up on
everything looks good Swash level is touching on all three legs .
Now I just have to figure out how to get all three servos to go up the same .
Ail and Pitch is the same its just the Elev is going way more top and bottom .
after I get all to go up the same I can set me arms on the other links and get them centered and then do my pitch test .
So close now lol but I still don't understand how the tail works still set at 0 ? lol im still lost and why my gyro is +32 in sub trims ?

When you have TH on, it bypasses the F-Mode switch. Just make sure you have a linear pitch curve in TH and you will be fine. But it sounds like it's very close and the only issue is the tail.

Is this the gyro you have?

why is my Elev going up more and down more than the Ail and Pitch ?
Travel is at 100 on all three they should move the same ?

ok I adjusted the links on the servos .
I had more Neg than poss
In your post u have to take the servo link OUT (LONGER)

I did now my center is off again but my pitch top and bottom is closer.
Now I have +12.5 High +1.4 Center and -12.8 Low .
How do I take some more pitch out and get to 11 both .
How do I get my 0 center back .
It is really close and I don't want to mess it up again lol
Also at high stick Full throttle its has a bind .

Each time you adjust the linkages, you must put it back to center stick and set your 0º with the grip links again. Then, check your positive and negative. It's a battle, but you will win over time.

ok now the problem is my links that go to the grips are all the way in no threads showing and they
was very hard to turn to get it to 0 last time . They wont go in I am out of threads

Hm. I am thinking your servos may not be at a perfect 90 then. If you have more of one pitch than another, then your geometry is wrong. Lower the sub trim for each of the servos about 5 clicks then check again. When you run out of threads, there is not a lot you can do. ,

ok this is what I have .
+10.3 center is .2 then -10.3
I went into the swash and moved the pitch from 60 to so Ail is +60 and Ele is +60
Pitch is + 45 to get them even high and low and center is really close

You mean the pitch? Nope, that just cuts down on the overall amount of pitch you have on the collective.

sweet so I can fly and all is good lol and about beepen time lol
so is swash and the pitch setting is that what its for to adjust your pitch ?
I did it right then ?

In the swash menu, you will have 3 settings. Aileron, Elevator, and Pitch. A and E should always be the same and control only the cyclic. This means that it controls all 3 servos when you move the aileron and elevator stick. The pitch is going to be your collective, or the swash moving up and down. Again, all 3 servos working together. But has nothing to do with the tilting of the swash, only the collective movement when you throttle up and down. Hope this makes sense.
