MOUNTING YOUR SERVOS (CP) USE SECTION 4 FOR EXACT MEASUREMENTS

1. Insert the pushrod into the hole on
the servo arm farthest from the output
(10-12mm from center).

2. Place servo tape on the mounting
surface before mounting the servo.

3. Note that the elevator servo is
mounted slightly forward (3mm or so).
This will ensure that the arm can move
freely.

4. If the servo has a label on the same side
that will mount with servo tape, peel off the
label and clean the surface using rubbing
alcohol. Once the mounting position of the
servo is determined carefully mount the servo
to the mast tower.

5. After mounting the servo. Place the plastic
ball link on the corresponding control ball on
the swashplate. Only use the large end of the
tapered opening on the ball link.

6. There are 3 servos needed on the CP.
When mounted they should appear as
pictured.

7. Turn the radio on with all sticks and trims centered. Verify also that
paddles, swashplate & servo horns are parallel to each other and also
90 degrees to the main shaft when all sticks are centered.
Adjust the lengths of the pushrods by twisting the ball links clockwise to
shorten. Twist counter-clockwise to increase the rod length.

8.) The Hummingbird Elite Collective Pitch helicopter uses the eCCPM
control system. This system will require a computer helicopter radio that
supports 120 degree eCCPM. Refer to Page 7 for detailed instructions
on how to use eCCPM.

IMPORTANT:

Refer to Page 7 for
detailed instructions on
how to use the eCCPM
control system.
