Swashplate

The Swashplate menu option enables

you to adjust the following:

• Swashplate Mix

• Exponential

• E-Ring

• Elevator Compensation

Use positive or negative Swashplate mix values as needed for correct direction

response of the helicopter.

Before making adjustments to the Swashplate mix, make sure the throttle/col-

lective pitch input moves the entire swashplate up or down. If the servos are not

moving in the same direction, reverse them as necessary in the Servo Setup

menu option.

When the entire swashplate moves up or down:

1. Adjust the mix value for the Aileron and Elevator channels. If the servos do not

move in the correct direction, change the direction of the mix—for example,

a positive value instead of a negative value.

2. Adjust the mix value for the Pitch. If the swashplate does not move in the cor-

rect direction, change the direction of the value (negative instead of positive).

Always enable Expo when using a standard rotating-arm servo.

The Expo delivers linear movement of the swashplate from a standard rotary

servo. When Expo is inhibited, the arm on a rotary servo moves on a curved path

with decreased swashplate movement at the extremes of the servo arm travel.

NOTICE: Do not enable Expo when using a linear servo.

Electronic E-Ring

This feature prevents overdriving servos by limiting servo travel if the sum of your

cyclic and pitch inputs exceed servo limits.

Gyro

The Gyro menu option enables you

to assign a gyro gain value to an

independent switch or a Flight Mode.

Assign the receiver channel connected

to the gyro, then assign the switch for

gyro options. You can also assign values

to available switch positions

(from 1 to 5 rates are available, depending on the switch assigned). Make sure

the gyro operates correctly and compensates in the correct direction.
