In the basic settings, you have specifi ed how many
servos are installed for pitch control in your helicopter
in the "Swash" display. Once this entry is made, the
required mixers for the swashplate functions of roll,
elevation and pitch axis are activated so that you do not
have to defi ne any additional mixers.
With helicopters that are controlled only using a sepa-
rate pitch servo, the menu item "Swash" is unnecessary
since three swashplate servos are operated separately
for pitch, elevation and roll by the software program;
that is, without any mixer. In this scenario, this menu
option is therefore no longer available to you from the
multi-function list.
With all other swashplate linkages employing 2 … 4
collective pitch servos, the mixer ratios and directions
are set up by default, as can be in the following display.
The preset is +61 % …

… but the value can be varied from -100% to +100% if
required.
As usual, touch the value fi eld of the mixer to be
changed with a fi nger or the provided stylus, for exam-
ple:

You can change the current value in the blue (active)
value fi eld as needed by touching the INC or DEC
buttons at the right edge of the display, for example:

ELEV
+061%
+061%
+067%
Touch the RES button to reset a changed value in a
blue (active) value fi eld to the default value.
If the swashplate control (pitch, roll and elevation) does
not respond to the control sticks properly, you should
alter the mixer directions ("+" or "-") before trying to
correct the directions of servo rotation.
Note:
Ensure that changed mixer values do not
result in the servos mechanically striking their
end-stops.
After making your settings, leave this menu and go to
"Menu selection" by touching the BACK button at the
top left of the display:
