*** Bob,I am not familiar with this particular conversion but the best way to go about it is to set up the required pitch movement first ( going by the instructions for the Century Bell 222) with some sort of jig,then see how much is required to be taken off the respective arm by adjusting the links as well,the throw will alter the way the helicopter performs so just nibble a bit at a time,best to test hover in between the trimming procedure.It is a case with many helicopter designs to just keep trying different settings until your own skill levels match that of the models ability.Tread carefully until you achieve the result required.

Bob,
Not sure about the Century Machine but I have 8 degrees up and down on the pitch on mine and that is perfect (It is an old Kalt Machine but the set up instructions were provided by John Wallington himself who I bought the heli from...he is a Top UK Flyer and now works for Kalt) I have never varied from those settings as they have given me the best performance out of this machine......Mine is now a Bell 230-UT with Wide Weighted Kevlar Blades.

Regards........Mark.
