| Hello Such,
I also questioned the validity of moving the pitch screws on the upper blades. I thought the same as you do. If I change the pitch, won't I have an out of track situation. The problem is that the pitch screws are for very fine adjustment. You won't see the the track change, but your one blade will give more lift nonetheless, this will affect your yaw, and then cause the heli to head off to the left or right as you input a forward command. I don't know all the mechanics, but this is what I did to mine when I had the same problem. I would head off to the left as I went forward. I'm not saying this is what your problem is, it's just similar to what I went thru. I got my XRB used, in great condition. But the shipping made for a few changes to the original setup, as did the previous owner. I had to set it up right from scratch. I see the logic behind your wanting to wait, and it's not a bad thing. If you finally run out of options though, try this. Never know. If it's not working properly, then what's one last solution to try. Good luck.
