11.1. Channel assignments

Note

The channel assignments are determined by the transmitter, not the receiver. For

example, when using a Futaba transmitter with a JR negative shift receiver, you

must use the Futaba channel assignments.

11.1.1. Futaba/Hitec transmitters

If you have only two servos controlling your swashplate (with either non-CCPM or any CCPM)

then the channel assignments are:

• channel 1: left/right (roll) servo

• channel 2: front/back (pitch) servo

• channel 3: throttle (ESC)

• channel 4: gyro control (tail servo or tail ESC plugs into gyro)

• channel 5: gyro sensitivity (optional)

• channel 6: collective pitch servo (for CP helicopters such as Shogun)

If you have three servos controlling your swashplate (either non-CCPM or any CCPM) then the

channel assignments are:

• channel 1: right (roll) servo

• channel 2: front/back (pitch) servo

• channel 3: throttle (ESC)

• channel 4: gyro control (tail servo or tail ESC plugs into gyro)

• channel 5: gyro sensitivity (optional)

• channel 6: left (roll) servo

11.1.2. JR transmitters

If you have two servos controlling your swashplate (either non-CCPM or any CCPM) then the

channel assignments are:

• channel 1: throttle (ESC)

• channel 2: left/right (roll) servo

• channel 3: front/back (pitch) servo

• channel 4: gyro control (tail servo or tail ESC plugs into gyro)
