(travel) of the aileron, elevator (except

) and collective pitch functions,
adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only
when using that function. Since these types utilize multiple servos together to
create the controls, simply adjusting a servo's

properly correct the travel of any one control. Since
H-1
uses one servo for each

This is fairly hard to explain but easy to see, so let's set up Kyosho
®
Caliber's swashplate settings as an example. With
everything installed per factory instructions, set the model to
HELI
(
HR3
). Now let's adjust the swashplate properly.

operate backwards (reverse the whole function), or one servo operates backwards (reverse that servo alone).
Next check elevator. Remember, the aileron servo(s) operate correctly, so if elevator does not, we should only have 2
choices left—the whole function needs to be reversed, or the servo(s) not shared with aileron need to be reversed.
Last is collective. If aileron and elevator are working properly, the only thing that could be wrong is the whole direction
collective operates (reverse the whole function). In our example,
HR3
is 180 degrees off from the swashplate of the Caliber.
Therefore, it is very likely that several functions will not operate properly. The collective pitch operation is backwards;
but reversing all three servos would also reverse the aileron and elevator operations. Changing the collective pitch rate,
however, from
+50%
to
-50%
, will reverse the collective pitch without affecting the aileron action.
