HELI-SPECIFIC MENU FUNCTIONS 
MODEL TYPE
: This function of the 
PARAMETER
 submenu is used to select the type of model programming to be used. Before 
MODEL TYPE
is an 8JA, the default is 
ACRO
HELI
(
H-1
).
HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES: 
The 8J radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" (
H-1
of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator 
                
3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below.  CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious of 
which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos 
well as the precision and centering. 
Please note that some helicopters are type 
HR3
 or 
HN3
®
 Caliber is 
HR3
you will still use that swashplate type, but also use 
SWASH AFR
 to adjust the functions as needed until it operates properly.  
Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes. (See our 
"#$%
function (
SWASH AFR
REVERSE
). See 
SWASH AFR
 for details.
