450 Blade pitch

[MrHatch]

Hey all. What degree should my blades be at when at low, mid, and high stick?

 

[murankar]

Mine is set to 0 degrees at mid stick and at full up/down +-12 degrees. Normal is +-11 degrees.

Normal mode should be -2 0 +10 to +12

Idle up should be -10 to -12 and +10 to+12

Thanks guys! I think I'm a fair way away from idle up just yet

Idle up is how you set your blade pitch. It gives you full positive pitch and full negative pitch. once your have your blades pitched correctly your normal mode will be correct. When doing your pitch start by going to mid stick and leveling out swash then move up to the head. Then with a pitch gage set pitch to 0 degrees. the go to full positive and set your positive pitch, finally move to full negative and set your pitch. Any how tony has a few videos on this topic in the end you will need idle up mode.
