RC Helicopters – Getting Started (Part 4)

We’re back to this series of posts related with helicopters and most of the beginners questions. So, i’ll continue to go through some of the common issues people have.

When adjusting the blade tracking, which blade do I adjust?

Use the blade that you did not use to set the pitch with. If you did not use a pitch gauge or do not remember which blade it was, then it depends on how you want to affect the head speed. If you want more head speed, lower the high blade, if you want less head speed, raise the low blade. If you want to maintain the head speed, you have to raise the low blade and lower the high blade by the same amount.
