Specifications
If your transmitter supports swashplate types, then configure your swashplate type according
to the following chart. If your transmitter is not listed, consult your transmitter manual for the
swashplate type.

Note
You MUST set the swashplate type FIRST before any other settings because set-
ting the swashplate type will erase the model memory on many transmitters.
Note
The 90 or 120 CCPM servo diagram in your transmitter manual may not match
your model's servo layout. Your model may have one servo in front but the manual
may have one servo in back, or vice versa. This will be fixed later in a later step by
reversing the fore/aft cyclic mixing in the swashplate mixing menu.
13.2.2. Swashplate servo setup (CP heli only)
Note
This setup only applies for CP helicopters. Skip this section for FP helicopters.
Note
For this step, disconnect the motor wires from the ESC. This will prevent the motor
from accidentally spinning. Do not rely on the Throttle Hold function.
Turn on the transmitter then power up the helicopter.
Remove any transmitter trim from the cyclic controls.
13.2.2.1. Swashplate servo reversing
Move the throttle stick up and down. When you move the throttle stick up, the swashplate
should move up. When you move the throttle down, the swashplate should move down.
Some helicopters may be designed so the swashplate moves in the opposite direction. If your
