PItch-to-AIleron mIXIng Adjustment
PITCH-TO-AILERON MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST
It is very possible that the travel of each servo varies slightly, which can cause the
swashplate to be tilted to the left or right when the collective is moved to the extreme high
and low pitch positions. This condition is generally more common when standard-type
servos are used. If JR® digital servos are used, the adjustment required is generally very
small, if any. These variations in travel can be corrected by altering the travel value of each
servo slightly through the travel adjustment function. To check the pitch-to-aileron mixing,
it will first be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position and make sure
the swashplate is level.
Next, move the collective stick from the center position to the high pitch position while
viewing the swashplate from the rear of the model as shown in the diagram below. While
moving the swashplate, look for any tendency for the swashplate to roll to the left or right
as it reaches the high pitch position. Repeat this procedure several times to be sure that
your observations are correct. If no rolling tendency is found, it will now be necessary to
repeat this procedure from the center collective stick position to full low pitch. If no rolling
tendency is found, proceed to the next step.
In our example, we have shown that the swashplate has been tilted to the right as the
collective has been increased to full pitch. This would indicate that the right servo’s
maximum travel is less than the left servo’s maximum travel.
In this condition, we suggest that the travel value for the right servo be increased slightly
(5–10%). Repeat the procedure above if the same condition occurs, but to a lesser degree.
The travel value of the right servo should be increased slightly and retested. In most cases,
it will require only the adjustment of the left or right servo to correct this situation. Once
this condition has been corrected, repeat this procedure for the center-to-low collective
pitch position and adjust as needed.
