Swashplate mixer
Pitch, roll and nick mixer
This sub-menu is hidden when selecting "1 (swashplate)
servo" in the basic settings of the model.
In the basic transmitter display, use your finger or the
provided stylus to touch the gear icon labeled "F":
Touch
The display switches to the blue function menu. Touch
the menu item "
Swash ":
Touch
In the basic settings, you have specified how many
servos are installed for pitch control in your helicopter
in the "Swash" display. Once this entry is made, the
required mixers for the swashplate functions of roll,
elevation and pitch axis are activated so that you do
not have to define any additional mixers.
With helicopters that are controlled only using a
sep-
arate pitch servo , the menu item " Swash " is unnec-
essary since three swashplate servos are operated
separately for pitch, elevation and roll by the software
program; that is, without any mixer. Consequently the
menu item "
Swash " will also be obscured by select-
ing "1 SERVO":
With all other swashplate linkages employing 2 … 4
collective pitch servos, the mixer ratios and directions
are set up by default, as represented in the following
display for "3Sv 120° (roll)" swashplate of an helicop-
ter. The preset is +61%...
... but the value can be varied from -100% to +100%
if required.
As usual, touch the value field of the mixer to be
changed, for example:
You can change the current value in the value field as
needed by touching the
+ or – buttons at the right
edge of the display, for example:
Touch the RES button to reset a changed value in a
blue (active) value field to the default value.
If the swashplate control (pitch, roll and elevation)
does not respond to the control sticks properly, you
should alter the mixer directions ("+" or "-") before try-
ing to correct the directions of servo rotation.
Notice
Ensure that changed mixer values do not result in
the servos mechanically striking their end-stops.
After making your settings, leave this menu and
go to "Menu selection" by touching the BACK button
at the top left of the display.
