After a recent horrid crash with my Blade 450, I'm having to do a pretty extensive rebuild - main shaft, spindle, both gears, blades, etc.
I bought a Turnigy swashplate levelling tool to do the setup with, but can't for the life of me find any guidance on how to use the thing - even the 'official' Blade Helis mechanical setup vids don't mention levelling the swashplate. Can anyone offer me a clue please?
Also, I bought a Turnigy pitch gauge and having seen them used briefly on the vids, I was wondering what you use as a reference to 'line up' the gauge with. I can see how you slip the thing over the blade and set the gauge with the slider, but what do you use as a straight edge to line it up with?
I'm planning on being very careful and doing as accurate a set up as possible before I take it flying and learn how to keep the thing in the air.
Many thanks.
