[QUOTE="stokke, post: 30766, member: 639"] So after getting Jesse's pro tip :D I moved the balls inward on the swash arms. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/08.12.12/P1010602.JPG[/IMG] Moving balls on the elevator arm was the trickiest, as it's sort of tucked away in the middle of the frame.

[IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/08.12.12/P1010605.JPG[/IMG] All balls changed. Everything set back together. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/08.12.12/P1010606.JPG[/IMG] And there you go, blue light at 6° :D :D :D [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/08.12.12/P1010607.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/08.12.12/P1010608.JPG[/IMG] As I mentioned earlier, I still had the tail setup to go.

When doing tail end points, you get either RED or BLUE at one end point, and purple at the other no matter what end you choose to start in.
