Great video!!!...ive been battling that same issue trying to get the swash plate to level because it wants to pull to the right and i have to go past 50% on my transmitter trim to get it to level so i tried making the adjustments and then when i set the computer it changes...so after watching your video i made sure all of my arms was at 10mm and then i went half throttle and into stunt one and with only my eyeball i was able to set the swashplate and now it only took minimal adjustments on the transmitter to make it fly perfectly level...i have a blade 330 and its great but this m2v2 is so smooth and i love the direct drive and wish there was a 300+ size of this.

Great vid Freddy thanks for sharing.

Really good info Reddy.

WATCHING this because of my BLADE 230sv2. 😡 I’m def getting this now (that direct DG though, ya buddy ) Great stuff. Grettings from NJ

@Freddy Cordova - I'm convinced your reasoning for why the swash moves is wrong. I think stabilisation mode is programmed to automatically counteract "translating tendency"... ie. the left drift caused by the tail rotor when a helicopter is hovering still (note, any hovering helicopter will always hover in a mild lean to one side, depending on rotor direction to counteract this effect). The M2's stable mode I think naturally counterbalances this with a built-in amount of right cyclic. Outside of stable mode, the swash reverts back to perfectly level.

FYI, Microheli has a swash leveler for the M2 in three different colors. Just received mine, it also works for a few other small helis. They were the only place I could find one. $17.49 delivered.

Great vid Freddy

The only way to know for sure is to use a swash leveling tool. Make sure the three servo linkages are 24.2 mm center to center (per the manual) and then use the centering servo flight controller feature along with the swash leveling tool. Adjust the each servo until the swash is level. This should give you the pitch range advertised also. It should be as simple as that. On ebay or amazon you can buy a swash leveling tool for around 8$ - $15. This method works for the OMP M2 because all the servos are on the same geometric plane.

My experience with this Heli.. Out of the box one of my servos was quite substantially out of whack..the Heli was tilting and rolling right. I tried to adjust using both the gyro calibration procedure and also the centre point adjustment on the flight controller. I got hugely frustrated as could not get the servo in correct position at all (similar to issues in the vid with servo moving again once adjusted). In frustration I did a factory reset on the flight controller (press set button 10 times). Soon as reset done all Servos jumped back into line and swashplate is now as perfectly level as needs to be.

Thanks Freddy!!😎

Awesome video. I'm just getting into this and I know what to look for. I ha a lama v3 that is drifting severely. I bet this is the problem.

Blade 300X swash plate level tool works also

The Trex 250 swashplate tool is a good fit too

Thanks for trying, but there is a SO much simpler way of checking the swash AND pitch angles... no dismantling needed. Checkout Jonas Wackershauser from AccuRC on setting up the OMP M1 which is almost identical.

Good video. What i can do when on normal Mode is not leveling?

Great video. I have a question about servos. I had my radio programed incorrectly and was doing a half spin up and it wouldn't shut off. I solved that, however, the blades smacked into my shin and broke some servo linkages. After fixing, it occurred to me that the internal center vs the external center may not be equal. Is that possible? Do the servos have stoppers at the sides or is that controlled by software? If it is possible, how do I make sure that they are equal? Do I need to worry when I turn it on about the servo grinding against one side and breaking something? The servo component arm at the servo side was removed and reinstalled and I don't know if it stayed centered. Is there some calibration that adjusts it automatically if necessary? Thank you for all the great videos. (I have the m2v2).

i was led to believe that movement of the swash from norm to idle up 1 is NOT the table being unlevel BUT built in cyclic to aid stabililty mode?

Is the main shaft vertical when initializing? It seems my M1 creeps fwd. The skids slope fwd so the main shft would tilt fwd?

Technically the swashplate is square, not level. But I say level as well. Good video.

Freddy! Any way to get some help with my M2V2 set up on DX8? Want to try to get rid of dead band

Freddy what size swash tool fits this heli,,

Once in servo mode, how do u adjust each servo?

that tells us nothing.. "adust your servos " ok but how are you adjusting them?? subtrim?? mechanical?? yes out of the box they might be perfect... I got this one used from a friend its not perfect how do I adjust it and get it perfect??

Rule of thumb never fly a heli out of the box. Both my M1 and M2 were not level at all. The end points for pitch were also way off. Ive never bought a RTF heli that was set up properly. Just like guitars.

FreddyC! Yee! Bruh, you only into this Chinese stuff? I can't get into it.

Where can I order one of these levels?

Thanks but no thanks.right to this vid. Personal life. Enjoy. I can't enjoy your personal life. Not our friendship. All though. Good for you.

> ..."something *real quick* " > Video is 15 minutes long. LOL!

If you happen to have a 3D printer, here's a swashplate leveler for the M2 - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4606527
