I have been flying the Venture (JR460 gyro and OS 32SXH) on a 10x for the last week . In short to answer your question, yes I had to adjust the links, I had about twenty degrees of travel (15 to -5). with the pitch on code 65 set to about 55 percent. With everything centered, the washout and mixing arms were all level, I merely adjusted the short links on the head to get zero degrees at midstick and pitch travel of -10 to + 10. Of course make sure you reset you ptich curves to a straight line and zero out any hover pitch.
After the first flights, I realized that it needed some more pitch so I increased the code 65 pitch to 60 and that seems to load the engine better. The rest of my code 65 values are aound 68-70 percent based on the head and preventing any binding. I am still breaking in the engine and getting used to the heli, but so far I am impressed with its stability and smooth flight.
Hope this helps
