4. Call up the swash screen by repeatedly pressing one of the
Up Down Edit buttons until the SWAH window appears.
The
function is automatically active when you select 120'
mixing in the model setup menu.
5. If all the servos raise the swash with increasing collective,
go
to the next step. If they lower the swash, press the
Cursor Right key twice to get to the collective setting menu
(the
arrow appears over the number 6 ). Now press the Data
-Decrease
key until the sign is reversed in front of the
percentage
value. Now the swash should properly respond
to
collective. If you've done the wrong thing, you can reset
the
percentage by pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key.
6. If all the servos tilt the swash to the right with right aileron
stick,
go to the next step. If they tilt the swash to the left ,
press
the Cursor Right key once to get to the aileron setting
Hovering Throttle
A
djustment Lever (Pilot Control)
The Hovering Throttle lever may be used to adjust the throttle
servo's
position around hover without affecting main rotor pitch.
It's
handy to make up for changes in rotor speed caused by
variations
in temperature, humidity, or other conditions. To
change
the hovering throttle setting, simply move the Hovering
throttle
lever (Left Lever) to get the desired setting. As shown
in
the figure, moving the lever has the largest effect in the
hovering
region and leaves the endpoints alone. Center this
lever before you set neutrals or input throttle curves.

the next step. If they tilt the swash forwards, press the
Cursor Right key once to get to the elevator setting menu
(the arrow appears over the number 2 ). Now press the
Data -Decrease key until the sign is reversed in front of the
percentage
value. Now the swash should properly respond
to
elevator.
8. Double check that all three functions, collective, aileron, and
elevator,
produce the desired result on the swashplate. Do
not
set any SWAH values to 0% or you will disable the
response
to that control!
Hovering Pitch
A
djustment Lever (Pilot Control)
The Hovering Pitch lever may be used to trim the collective
pitch
servo(s) near hover without affecting throttle. Like
hovering
throttle, it's handy to make up for changes in rotor
speed
caused by variations in temperature, humidity, or other
conditions.
You can adjust the hovering pitch value simply by
moving
the Hovering pitch lever ( Right Lever ). Like hovering
throttle,
this lever only works near hover and tapers off at either
end
of throttle. Center this lever before you set neutrals or
input throttle curves.
