+ and - 11 degrees of pitch from Belt CP
The last couple of days I replaced the mainshaft bearings, belt, and cleaned and oiled the rest of the bearings. I also put the aluminum motor mount on. I had to file it down since it was a little too wide. It also kind of helped keep the motor temp down. Anyways when I got done setting everything up I noticed I now got +/- 11 degrees of pitch. I was quite suprised. After I checked everything over I took it for a quick test run and it is amazing. It is very stable when I want it to and very agile when pushed. I just tapped the cyclic and it seems like it would flip very easily. Which is awsome, because it didn't want to do that before. I thought I would share my experience. By the way this isn't the stock Belt CP. I think I could get more pitch if I wanted to because the servos aren't moving their full range.

I think I actually had this problem with my HBKII. I had the collective set up to go as far is it could without binding while it was level. Then I set the cyclic to go as far is it could without binding in the middle of the collective range. I never checked both max out together. Well, the first time I tried a roll I maxed out the collective and cyclic and the tail came whipping around on me. Not good.
