Easy To Follow Guide On How To Setup Your Servos

After the long task of assembling your RC helicopter from the countless little plastic bags of nuts and bolts, there still remains the often daunting task of setting up your RC helicopter.

That's where this guide comes in handy...

This quick guide shows you how to setup the servos and makes sure the servos are working correctly.

Also, this guide is designed for beginners and novice nitro or electric RC helicopter enthusiasts that have a collective pitch (CP) system.

Note: On electric helicopters, you have to approach the setup a diferrent way. Please use caution and ask members for tips in the forum.

By the way, this guide uses a nitro RC helicopter as an example but this doesn't necessarily mean this guide is designed for such. The difference might be the "servo throttle" setup which electric helicopters don't have.

You might be asking yourself, why should I worry about the servos being adjusted correctly?

Well, it might be wishful thinking to just open the heli from the box then dash through the sky but I'm afraid it's not that easy. Since you are just starting to fly RC helicopters you need your heli to fly as steady as possible in order to succeed in hovering, flying, etc.

Also, by properly adjusting your servos you will extend their life.

One more thing I wanted to mention...

If you can get someone to check all the settings and perform a test flight on your RC helicopter, then this is highly recommended. But it is possible to learn on your own.

Here are some of the benefits of properly adjusted servos:

* Accurate flying

* Extend life of servos

* Flying success
