Swashplate

The Swashplate menu option enables you to adjust the following:

• Swashplate Mix
• Exponential
• E-Ring
• Elevator Compensation

Use positive or negative Swashplate mix values as needed for

correct direction response of the helicopter.

Before making adjustments to the Swashplate mix, make sure the

throttle/collective pitch input moves the entire swashplate up or

down. If the servos are not moving in the same direction, reverse

them as necessary in the Servo Setup menu option.
When the entire swashplate moves up or down:

1. Adjust the mix value for the Aileron and Elevator channels. If

the servos do not move in the correct direction, change the

direction of the mix—for example, a positive value instead of

a negative value.

2. Adjust the mix value for the Pitch. If the swashplate does not

move in the correct direction, change the direction of the value

(negative instead of positive).

Always enable Expo when using a standard rotating-arm servo.

The Expo delivers linear movement of the swashplate from a

standard rotary servo. When Expo is inhibited, the arm on a

rotary servo moves on a curved path with decreased swashplate

movement at the extremes of the servo arm travel.
NOTICE: Do not enable Expo when using a linear servo.
Electronic E-Ring

This feature prevents over driving servos by limiting servo travel if

the sum of your cyclic and pitch inputs exceeds servo limits.

Gyro

The Gyro menu option enables you to assign a gyro gain value
to an independent switch or a Flight Mode. Assign the receiver
channel connected to the gyro, then assign the switch for gyro
options. You can also assign values to available switch positions
(from 1 to 5 rates are available, depending on the switch
assigned). Make sure the gyro operates correctly and
compensates in the correct direction.

Governor

The governor function is used to set the rotor head speed when

used with a governor installed in the helicopter. The governor

onboard will control the engine RPM to maintain the head speed

desired. You can program values for each switch position or flight

mode. RPM values can be programmed in 0.5% steps.
To Program the Governor Function:

1. Access the Governor menu option.
2. Program the RPM values by rotating the scroll wheel to the

desired value.

3. Press the scroll wheel and rotate it to the desired value. Press

the scroll wheel again to save the value.

IMPORTANT: The value in the display is the corrected value.

0% is 1.5 ms or OFF for most governors. Repeat this for all

governor settings.

4. Assign the output channel for the Governor. The Governor and

the Gyro must be on different channels. We recommend using

AUX2 for the Governor output channel.

5. Select a switch to control the Governor.
6. Press the

BACK button to save the selections and return to the

Function List.
