12.SwaSh (SwaShPLaTE SETUP), cOnTinUED....
IMPORTANT
To be able to access the SWASH menu and program the Swashplate Setup function, you must choose a
CCPM swashplate setup in the TYPE menu.
The SWASH menu consists of a row of MASTER functions along the top and a column of SLAVE functions along the left side. In
all cases, the MASTER function controls the SLAVE function. For example, if you want to increase the servo travel of the aileron
channel when the throttle control stick is moved forward, increase the PI MASTER/AI SLAVE adjustment value.
If you want to change the rotation of servo travel for a channel, for example, the pitch channel, highlight PI MASTER/PI SLAVE
and change the adjustment value to the opposite of the current adjustment value (e.g., 100 to -100).

Depending on your model's specific setup, it may
be necessary to decrease the adjustment values
to keep from over-driving the servos.
The SWASH menu displays the default adjustment values for the Swashplate
Type chosen in the TYPE menu. The currently selected Swashplate Type is
displayed.

Menus.

to highlight the adjustment value
you would like to change, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to

the same techniques.
SWASH menu setting range is -150 to 150. The default adjustment value varies based on Swashplate Type currently selected.
To display the default adjustment values, highlight a specific adjustment value and press the INC+/M1 and DEC-/M2 keys at
the same time.
13.Th-cUT (ThROTTLE cUT)
The Throttle Cut function allows you to set a specific position that the throttle servo will move to. The Throttle Cut function is
primarily used in glow- or gas-powered helicopters to shut down your engine after flight. You are able to adjust the Throttle Cut
percentage value to ensure that when you press the Throttle Cut button to shut down your engine, the carburetor will close
completely, yet not bind.
Before using the Throttle Cut function, make sure that the idle stop screw on your carburetor (if featured) is adjusted to
allow the carburetor barrel to close completely.
