This section describes how to use the Optic helicopte
r
functions (model type HELI ).
Descriptions of the other functions, such as endpoints, dual rates, expo, etc., are contained in the aircraft ( ACGL ) section.
The
HELI menu provides three flight conditions in addition to the normal one ( NOR ).

Swashplate [SWAH]
The Optic system comes with two choices for the helicopter's
swashplate
arrangement, which may be found in the setup
menu:
normal ( NOR ) and 120 ° ( 120' ). NOR is the standard
swashplate
where one servo each performs the collective pitch,
elevator,
and aileron functions. 120 ° is intended for three-
servo
swashplates needing special mixing to get the servos to
properly
provide the required pitch, elevator, and aileron
functions.
The swashplate type 120 ° is also referred to
as SN-3.
