Mixing rate setting procedure
The HR3 swashplate type will be used as an
example to describe mixing rate setting. The
mixing used in other swash modes may be different.
However, the setting procedure is the same.
*Set the throttle stick to the preset neutral point. Adjust the
length of the linkage rod so that the swash plate is horizontal
at this position.
*The sub-trim function can be used to make small
adjustments.
*Adjust so that the pitch curve is a straight line and the
helicopter achieves maximum pitch.
*Move the cursor to the item you want to adjust and push the
RTN button to switch to the data input mode. Push the RTN
button to end adjustment and return to the cursor mode.
