For a perfect swash plate levelling you have to adjust the linkages form the servo horns to the swashplate instead of using the FC servo mid point adjustment function as shown in the clip. Adjusting the linkages avoids geometry faults ...and otherwise the previous carried out 0° or 90°servo horn adjustment would be rather useless as well.
@@sokohelitools hey man, this is niche product and still you are working hard and making videos on how to put things together, knowing not many people are going to watch it, I really appreciate. But music in start, SUCKS!! Still keep on.
@@nitishisad5947 Yeahhh... I figured that you might not be quite fond of metal music :D Thanks for the nice words man (if you forget about the intro music ;) PS: You might like our video about an even better an faster way to get a perfect setup: ruclips.net/video/h22zyuFVooU/видео.html
I am planning on purchasing your heli set up kit and reprogramming my entire fleet. I'm wondering if you could do a video on the align dfc head. Also on my nitro it uses bell cranks. Does that affect the set up process in anyway?
Hi Grant. The setup process on a bell crank heli (i.e. Thunder Tiger) or a DFC head is exactly the same as shown on our videos (Goblin 700 or Align 550). It even works on flybared helis. Thats the beauty of the Soko Kit: One tool, all setups/sizes/brands. The PDF manual and our brand new Soko Heli Toolbox mobile app will take you through each step in detail. Ohhh, and if there are any questions left - just write us an email. We are here to help! Your Soko Heli Tools team.
This method doesn't take into account small blade manufacturing errors. I still prefer blade-mounted gauges as it's more important to set the 0 pitch of the blades, than 0 pitch of the blade grips alone.
I see your point. This only works if you use decent blades, that's true. Our tests showed that nowadays you cannot buy "bad" blades anymore. A pair comes already balanced out-of-the box! If you have blades with errors, mounting the gauge on the blade itself won't help as the errors can be differently alongside the blade length. So your pitch changes depending on where you mount the gauge anyways...
You don't need to zero the Soko Gauge anywhere. The whole setup Soko Methodology utilizes the bubble/spirit level (angle in relation to the horizon). Thats why you always use the upper/smaller number with its symbol on the Soko Gauge. Its a true spirit/bubble level which is calibrated to the horizon by factory.
Oh I see - I just got confused because on the other video, you just measured the blade grips without the links and divided by 2 to get the center point to get absolute vertical of the main shaft... I thought you then needed to zero the gauge to proceed with measuring pitch angles.
Magic tool never seen before...well done mate..!

the music just blasted through my eardrums and hit my brain
glad you like it ;)

three propeller rotor head
where to buy it?
Plz give information about main rotor blade
Hello. What exactly do you need? Have a look at www.soko-heli-tools.com/info?tab=requirements for more info about main rotor blade root dimensions.

You didn't explain when to zero the pitch gauge!?
