| This seems like a good idea to me, though I don't like the idea of doing it mechanically which will move 0 pitch away from center stick. I tend to agree with ErichF:

| The only problem with using the pitch links as that you upset the neutral point in the head. Let say you do a vertical climb, or tailslide, where the head has 0G load. The zero point in the collective may be off either way positive of negative. You can either get used to it, or adjust your pitch curve in the radio to balance the head, as opposed to adjusting the links mechanically. Adjusting the radio pitch curve will still keep the center collective neutral point.

You should be able to achieve the same effect by setting a pitch curve that looks something like:
0 25 50 70 90
This way center stick will still give you 0 pitch, but climbouts will feel the same on both ends. You would obviously need to tweak the endpoint (could be 97, could be 84) to get the correct feel, and then either inhibit point 3 so it will be exactly between 2 and 4, or do the math correctly to get it in the middle.
If you were finding it needed more on the positive side, use something like:
10 30 50 75 100

) ive read/viewed (somewhere!?!!?) that a heli requires less pitch in a negative hover then in a positive, we can go from there....
