I. Setting the Swashplate Servo Directions

Menu point (I) ensures the swashplate servos are moving correctly. Note that the

proper aileron, elevator and collective pitch direction (right/left, up/down) will

be corrected later using the servo reversing setting in the transmitter. Try each of

the four possible combinations until the swashplate moves correctly. There is no

need to adjust servos individually.
ImpoRTANT: The direction of swashplate movement (e.g. Swashplate moving

up when it should move down) is not important at this time. You will adjust the

swashplate direction when the servos are moving together.

1. Move the collective pitch stick and observe the swashplate movement. The

swashplate servos should all move together to raise or lower the swashplate.

2. If the swashplate is not horizontal when it moves, try a different servo

combination by moving the rudder stick.

3. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until the servos are all moving together.

4. Now make sure the swashplate is moving in the correct direction (Refer to

your helicopter instruction manual).

5. If the swashplate is moving in the wrong direction (e.g. The swashplate is

moving up when it should move down), use the servo reverse feature in your

transmitter to reverse the appropriate channels.

ImpoRTANT: Menu point (I) does not have a time limit. If the servos are

still not reacting properly after using servo reverse, make sure the servos are

connected to the proper receiver channels. Also, make sure any servo mixing in

your transmitter is turned off.
Push the setup button to save the selection and move to menu point (J).
