Blade 400 3d Pitch Gauge 101

how to use a heli pitch gauge

[@SquiggyWigginz]

Searched high and low for how to do this and eventually came across this very helpful video. Thank you for posting it.

Mr. Blade 400 expert, thank you very much again for all your helpfull videos. It's helping a lot to newbies like myself. Thanks again. Looking forward to see more videos.

Thank you so much for explaining and having the transmitter in the picture when showing the trick of using "Throttle Hold" so as to not have to disconnect the motor's 3 wires every time. I watched other videos and read postings where this was talked about, but then not explained how to set the transmitter to do that. So you have to get into the "Pitch Curve" setting; "Throttle Hold" mode, and go from 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 100 on the graph and set 0%, 25%, 75% & 100% respectively. Thanks, Jay

Thank you very much. You are definetely a kind person. Thank you, Thank you really. I was very impressed how easy you made to understand how to use pitch gauge for our Blade400 God Bless your kindeness...

I'm impressed you went 4 and half minutes rambling about needless bullshit before you used the pitch gauge.

[@kennethreavey3583]

Great video. Thanks a lot. I also used your head set up series - as equally good. Thanks again. Happy flying

[@sokal11]

the pitch guage is used so that the head setup from servos up will all be center. and used to verify equal pitch throw. trim will be used after the head is tracked and to null out minor adj is need for dynamic forces.

[@CaptainCarling]

Thanks for you hard work in making these vids. Its my Bible now lol

[@geneblake]

Awesome, thanks for that video. I now ask that you might create a video that uses the pitch gage to properly adjust the blades and swash plate, PLEASE....

[@81quiroz]

i got to say thank you bro you save me some money to get a flybar lock

[@sokal11]

trim is for after the head is tracked not to be used to level and mechanical controls. as for the setup using hold you can use both ways if your hold pitch curve is set the same as the other flight mode you use. it would be the same but it is safer to unplug motor.

[@danyel9256]

thnks dude , usefull video for me as a beginner....

[@musicman101353]

Sokal Thanks again for a great video.

[@GastrkDude]

Thanks for making this video, super helpful=)

[@sokal11]

its recommended on all collective pitch rotor systems. unless u have a well cxalibrated eye to know how many degrees the rotor blades is

[@sokal11]

can be either way as long as pitch curve position 3 is 50 wich is mid stick but setting up in idleup/full pitch range is ideal

[@sokal11]

you adj the pitch change links usually the one directly connected to the bladegrip.

[@InTheFleshInc]

Thanks man for uploading this, I bought a Hausler 450 V2 3D Helicopter used on ebay, had bought a pitch gauge as well and they had the full throttle pitch of rotor blade on 13 degrees not sure if that is way to steep? but I heard you say 10 is good so plan on bringing it down a bit.

[@SnwBrdFrvr]

What do you mean by "already tracking your rotor system"? How do you do that?

[@04stangman]

I will add another Thanks, from a newb of course, but not for long with your help!

[@skypirate553]

Great clip G ...

[@UnderTheRadar1976]

Hi I found that when I set the pitch and track my blades when my heli starts to take off go about a inch out of track don't know why

[@blackiechan471]

please respond back. could you use the trim to level it out or do you have to use a pitch gauge?

[@bobbymalta73]

Cheers mate thks for sharing!

[@djsinistah4178]

thank you, very helpful. New pilot here as well.

[@justflynow]

Very good, thanks for the explanations!

[@sokal11]

tracking is to make both blades fly in the same plane while rotoating

[@sokal11]

pitch guage is to adj the blades as for the swash you need a swash level or other techniques. i have made other vids to set up the head. check them out

[@mckrackin5324]

When you use throttle hold to check pitch,you are ONLY checking the pitch in throttle hold mode....You need to unplug the motor and check the pitch in ALL flight modes and make sure the swash is level in all throttle positions....Otherwise,nice video.

[@Mycars4me]

great video thanks :)

[@JPrime-rz3oy]

Hello, how are you I bought blade 400 I'm just trying to adjust mine let's see if it works I'm from Brazil MG CITY OF BELO HORIZONTE

[@sokal11]

indicates pitch on a rotor blade in this case

[@anthony84vette]

big help ty

[@maxman5555]

Thanks man

[@matt1039lp]

thanks!

[@sokal11]

not a prob

[@brianv624]
