End Point of servo travel adjustment (END POINT, also called EPA): the most flexible version of travel adjustment
available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo that
affects both directions. Again, for CCPM helicopters, be sure to see SWASH AFR (see p. 95) prior to adjusting end points.
Adjustability:
• Can set each direction independently.
• Ranges from 0% (no servo movement at all) to 140%. At a 100% setting, the
throw of the servo is approximately 40° for channels 1-4 and approximately
55° for channels 5-8.
• Reducing the percentage settings reduces the total servo throw in that direction.
Examples:
• Adjust the throttle high end to avoid binding at the carburetor, and low end to allow for proper carburetor closure.

• Retract servos are not proportional. Changing END POINT will not adjust the servo.
END POINT adjusts only the individual servo. It will have no effect on any other servo that is operated in conjunction with
this servo via mix or preset programming such as FLAPERON, AILEVATOR, etc. This is so that each individual servo can be

the adjustments in that function's controls. For CCPM helicopters, adjust the total travel of the function, such as collective
pitch, in SWASH AFR.
Adjust the linkage or the END POINT? It is nearly always best to adjust your linkages to get as close as possible prior to
utilizing END POINT. The higher the END POINT setting, the better position accuracy and the more servo power available
at nearly any position (except if using digital servos). Higher END POINT values also mean longer travel time to reach the
desired position, as you are utilizing more of the servo's total travel. (For example, using 50% END POINT would give you
only half the steps of servo travel, meaning every click of trim has twice the effect and the servo gets there in half the
time).
• end point (and moving the linkage) = torque, accuracy, but transit time to get there.
• end point (instead of adjusting linkages) = travel time, but torque, accuracy.
