Instruction manual

1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Century Helicopter Product’s Swift 16 Kit. The Swift 16 has taken
the electric market by storm in providing a high performance machine at the perfect size for stable out-
door fl ight. The attention is well deserved as the Swift is unmatched in affordability, quality and perfor-
mance.
In order to take advantage of the Swift’s performance capabilities we recommend using a high quality
computer radio system with 120 degree and/or 140 degree eCCPM mixing. The radio system should have
at least 6 channels to use modern heading lock gyros, Standard servos can be used with a specialized
high speed tail servo.
