This Hirobo HI0402730 collect pitch arm is offered as a replacement for Shuttle RG models, specified as the left-side collect pitch linkage manufactured from carbon. It serves as the direct mechanical element in the collective pitch chain and is supplied for hobby helicopters adopting the Shuttle RG layout.
The carbon construction aims to reduce flex and help maintain alignment compared with typical plastic alternatives, providing a firmer mechanical path under load. The component is designed to mate with standard Shuttle RG linkage hardware and servo connectors; ensure that your model's link spacing and attachment style match before ordering.
Fitting advice: remove the original left collect pitch arm per your model's service instructions, position the HI0402730 to line up with the bellcrank and servo linkage, and secure using the original fasteners. Use thread locking in locations recommended by the manual and verify center positions and travel limits prior to flight. Inspect regularly for cracks or delamination and replace if any structural faults are found.
Role in setup: using this carbon collect pitch arm can stabilise collective behaviour during trim and tuning, useful where slight flex has affected consistency. After fitting the HI0402730 re-check trims and perform careful hover trials to validate predictable collective control.
