Swash Mix.
- Repeat steps 4-23 as applicable to dene a swash-throttle mix
for every ight condition.
You may also select a ight condition in this menu by activating the desired ight condition.
As this is a set-up feature, swash mix is one of the few functions that is NOT inuenced by ight
conditions, idle-up or hold conditions.

and press the jog dial to activate the menu.

we recommend the use of a swash plate leveling set-up tool.

T. Curve
The Throttle Curve function allows you to modify the normally-linear servo rate movement for throttle by
dening ve dierent points along the throttle response curve. It is necessary to manipulate the throttle
curve in conjunction with the pitch curve to achieve maximum performance from your helicopter.
To congure a throttle curve:
1. From the Model menu, rotate the jog dial to highlight
“T.Curve” and press the jog dial once to enter the activation
menu.
With all the servos hooked up, and the transmitter and receiver turned on, move the throttle/
collective stick up and down. The swash should move up and down with no rotations.
Move the aileron stick left and right. The swash should tilt left and right without pitching or rising.
Move the elevator stick. The swash should tilt fore and aft with no rotations.
If there are rotations when collective is moved, or the swash moves up and down with aileron or
elevator, you need to adjust the settings in the swash menu.
If the servos do not all respond in the same direction for collective or opposite directions for
aileron and elevator, you will need to reverse one or more of them in the reversing menu (Reverse).
It may take a little trial and error trying dierent combinations of normal and reverse rotation to
get the servos to respond properly.
Don’t worry about the direction they respond, just that they all move the same for collective and
tilt for aileron and elevator.
2. Press the jog dial again to activate the menu.
3. Rotate the jog dial to select ACT (activate), then press the jog
dial to conrm your selection and activate the throttle curve
menu.
4. Scroll to the “1” eld and press the jog button to activate the
menu.
5. Rotate the jog dial to input the desired throttle position at this
point on the curve (Throttle stick full down).
