IMPORTANT CCPM PROGRAMMING DOS AND DON’TS
It is extremely important that the travel adjustment values for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator, Aux 1) be initially set to exactly the same
travel value. If the travel value is not similar for each servo, it will create unwanted pitching and rolling of the swashplate during collective pitch inputs.
The travel values for each servo will be adjusted in Step 5.5 and Step 5.6 to remove any minor pitch and roll coupling during pitch, roll, and
collective movements.
Minor travel value adjustments are necessary due to slight variations in servo travel and centering. Although the three servos may appear to travel at
the same amounts in each direction, in reality the servos can vary slightly. This variation is more common in analog type servos. If JR’s new digital
servos are used, the travel adjustment values will generally not need to be altered.
A. TRAVEL ADJUST
It is also extremely important that the servo reversing directions for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator, Aux 1) be set as indicated in the
previous radio programming steps. If one or more servos is not set to the correct direction, the CCPM function will be out of synchronization, and the
three control functions (aileron, Elevator, Collective) will not move properly. In the event that a control surface is working in the wrong direction, the
control function can only be reversed by changing the desired CCPM value for that function from a + to a - value or vise versa.
Example: If when you increase the collective pitch, the pitch of the main blades actually decreases, it will be necessary to access the CCPM function
and change the travel value for this function from + to -, or - to +. This will reverse the direction of the collective pitch function without affecting the
movement of the aileron and elevator functions.
