Swash Mix cont.
With all the servos hooked up, and the transmitter and receiver turned on, move the throttle/
collective stick up and down. The swash should move up and down with no rotations.
Move the aileron stick left and right. The swash should tilt left and right without pitching or
rising. Move the elevator stick. The swash should tilt fore and aft with no rotations.
If there are rotations when collective is moved, or the swash moves up and down with aileron
or elevator, you need to adjust the settings in the swash menu. If the servos do not all respond
in the same direction for collective or opposite directions for aileron and elevator, you will need
to reverse one or more of them in the reversing menu (Reverse). It may take a little trial and
error using different combinations of normal and reverse rotation to get the servos to respond
properly. Don’t worry about the direction they respond, just that they all move the same for
collective and tilt for aileron and elevator.

3. Rotate the jog dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to alter the
individual collective servos.
4. Press the Back button to return to the Model Function menu.
Throttle Curve
The Throttle Curve function allows you to modify the normally-linear servo rate movement for throttle by
defining five different points along the throttle response curve. It is necessary to manipulate the throttle
curve in conjunction with the pitch curve to achieve maximum performance from your helicopter.
To configure a throttle curve:
1. From the Model menu, rotate the jog dial to highlight
“T.Curve” and press the jog dial once to enter the activation
menu.
2. Press the jog dial again to activate the menu.
3. Rotate the jog dial to select ACT (activate), then press the jog
dial to confirm your selection and activate the throttle curve
menu.
4. Scroll to the “1” field and press the jog button to activate the
menu.
5. Rotate the jog dial to input the desired throttle position at this
point on the curve (Throttle stick full down).
Throttle Curve cont.
6. Scroll to the “2” field and press the jog button to activate the
menu.
7. The left field represents the throttle servo value and the right
field represents the throttle stick position. Select each field
independently and use the jog dial to input the desired values
for the next point on the throttle curve.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining three steps on the throttle curve. As values are changed, the on-
screen graph displays real-time updates to the throttle curve.
9. Scroll to the “EXP” (exponential) field and press the jog button
to activate the menu.
10. Rotate the jog dial to select “OFF” or “ON”. When “ON” is
selected, the points in the curve are connected with exponential
curves. Otherwise, the points are joined linearly. Press the jog
dial to confirm your selection.
11. Scroll to highlight the “OST” (Offset) field and press the jog
dial to activate the menu.
12. Scroll to select the desired amount of offset and press the
jog dial to enter your selection.
13. Scroll to highlight “S/W” and press the jog dial to bring up
the switch sub-menu.
14. Scroll to select a switch to activate the throttle curve. Press the jog dial to confirm your selection.
a. If you choose the “NULL” option, the set throttle curve will remain active at all times for this model.
b. If you choose a switch:
- The current switch position will be displayed in the top right
field of the display as “0”, “1”, or “2”.
- Repeat steps 4-8 to define throttle curve for every switch
position.
