Blade alignement

Hi everibody.

?Is there a simple way to assure the the blades (in my case it's a Raptor 30v2) are perfectly parallel?.

Bye.

only one way

first start with a pitch gage sitting in front of heli put you radio at half stick check one blde at 6.5 deg then remove the gage and check other blade sitting at same place and adjust push rod so you have the same pitch,dont wory if rods aren't the same lenght they often aren't.

now

you will need help from a friend if you can hover ,put traking tape red and blue on blades as heli is in hover ask your friend to spot witch blade is lower.he will see this at the tip of the blades as they spin ,what you want is to see purple not one lower and a higher ,then adjust the lower coulored blade with push rod so both blades track togeter.dont let your friend to close and if you cant hover safly yet spin her as fast as you can on the ground until light on skids it will be o.k until you can hover.
try to get a friend to help it's not easy by yourself.

Thanks again for your help, steff, but I think that you are explaining how to get both blades in track. I think mines are in track using the color tape trick.

What I really wanted to know is how to assure that the blades are aligned as you see them from above the heli with the engine stoped. I'v heard that they can be aligned by leaving a little loose the blade grip and leaving the centrifugal force to do the job, but I'm not really sure and I think it can be dangerous. What do you think about this?.

i see now

o.k they need only to be aligned by hand on the ground
yes the force will do the job in flight.

but they cant be to tight nor to loose
the way i do it is they have to tight enough so that when you hold
your heli sideways they dont fall.
tighten them to the point that when you hold the tip of the blade
in one hand and the fly bar padle in the other as you pull the blade inward to close them the fly bar should flex about 1 inch
and they should be fine.

It's all clear now. Thank you, steff.

Best regards.
