Can you take a photo of your model? I have not seen swashplate with not adjustable push rod.
Please note I am talking about things like this (attachment).
Those are definitely adjustable, I was talking about the elevator arm, that is not a pushrod.
I will follow the link you provided here.
I was doing the swash plate leveling in the software, should I only do it by adjusting the length of the pushrods instead?

Thanks

arms of the swashplate shouldn't be adjusted in any way. At least with swashplate you linked.

I followed the link to the manual you provided
1) it keeps talking about 3 servo rods, what 3 rods do I have?
2) in item 6, it says to adjust the rods to get swashplate level, until now, didn't touch the rods, just used the sub trim in the software.

So, I am not clear. To get the swashplate level at stick in the middle, do I use the software or change the rods?

Thanks

The three linkages that connect the swashplate to your servos. Do you have a video chat service? I would be happy to video chat to better help

You have to set rods. With software you should just set servo arms to be in the middle.

Would like that if you can, where in the world are you located? There will be a time gap between us, so we have to make an appointment.

I have Skype, Zoom and Lifesize for video chats

Looking forward to hear from you

Do you mean:

1) Level the swash plate with mechanical changes of the servo pushrods? OR
2) Set close to 90° by moving the servo arms, then level the swashplate with the software?

Please try to be more explicit

Thanks

The swash plate DOES NOT have any adjustable arms, do you mean the push rods from the servo to the swashplate SHOULD NOT be adjusted?

Yes, the linkages, not the swashplate itself.


Do you have a skype?

Please view this for proper swash setup.

Also; did your gartt 600 DFC head come as a set with a new main shaft as well? Because the DFC head requires a lower mainshaft than the stock main shaft. Part: h60247t
