9. Fine tuning of the model helicopter

a) Setting the alignment
To ensure that the helicopter steers and flies exactly, the two rotor blades need to be running at the same height within
the rotor rotation plane. One rotor blade is marked with a red and the other with blue adhesive tape to allow you to
check and also adjust this alignment. If you increase the rotor speed from stationary to the point where the helicopter
is about to take off and then observe the rotor rotation plane from the side, you will see immediately if the blades are
running at different heights (fig. 18 A) or cleanly on the same track (fig. 18 B).

Note!
Do not do anything further on the rotor head until you have disconnected the flight battery from the
speed controller to prevent unwanted rotor start-up.
Each rotor blade is also controlled at the blade holder by
a rod (2) that can be adjusted in length from the swash
plate outwards to the mixing lever.
At their correct setting, these run perfectly in the exact
same path during hovering.
If, for example, the rotor blade with the red marking
happens to be running too high, the linkage to this rotor
blade will need to be extended. This reduces the incline
angle of the rotor blade with the red marking and due to
the lower lift it will then no longer run as high as before.
To do this, carefully unhitch the lower ball-headed eyelet
from the linkage and turn the eyelet one turn further along
the linkage.
Reclip the eyelet and make sure the linkage is seated correctly.
Start the helicopter again and check to see whether your correction has already solved the problem.
Another way is to reduce the linkage of the blade which is running too low so that it will generate more lift and thus run
higher.
