SERVO SETUP AND LINKAGES
Most servo arms have an odd number of splines, which
allows you to rotate it 90°, 180° or 270° to help with the
centering. All servo arms should be perpendicular to the
servos when installed in the Kinetic .50.
FORWARD/AFT CYCLIC SETUP
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
sticks. Test fit a servo arm onto the servo. The arm must be
perpendicular to the servo, as shown above. (If the arm isn’t
perfectly aligned, rotate it 90° and recheck alignment. Repeat
until 90° alignment is achieved.)
❏
2. Remove the arm and using a pair of wire cutters, clip
off the three unused sides. Install a metal control ball into
the servo arm at 10.5mm from center (second hole out from
center on Futaba arms). Using thread locker, install the
2mm nut onto the back side of the servo arm and tighten.
❏
3. Verify the servo arm clears the left/right cyclic servo. If
needed, trim the arm as required.
❏
4. Install the servo arm and screw as shown above.
Locate the forward/aft cyclic linkage and verify that it is
128mm long. Install linkage as shown above.
LEFT/RIGHT CYCLIC SETUP
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
sticks. Test fit a servo arm onto the servo. The arm must be
perpendicular to the servo, as shown.
❏
2. Remove the arm and using a pair of wire cutters, clip
off the two unused sides. Install a metal control ball onto
both sides at 10.5mm from center (second hole out from
center on Futaba arms). Using thread locker, install the
2mm nuts onto the back side of the servo arm and tighten.
