Heli Setup (3/11) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This screen is specifically designed to help you set up a CCPM heli. 

 

1. Swash Type: This defines what kind of Swash plate you have on your heli: 

i. 120: “Standard” 120° swash plate. The “pitch” servo is towards the front/back. 

ii. 120X: Same 120° swash plate but turned 90° so the pitch servo is on one side. 

iii. 140: 140° swash plate – again, the “pitch” servo is towards the front/back. 

iv. 90: 90° - Basically a simple 90° setup where you have a single servo operating the pitch and    

   

two operating the roll. 

 

2. Collective: This defines the collective's source. 

 

The idea being that you can create a mix with all the required curves and switches 

 

and simply plug it in here to mix with the others. 

 

3. Swash Ring: As the name implies. This limits stick movement just like a physical swash ring.  

 

 

Notice that this only works on AIL and ELE regardless of radio mode selected. 

 

4. ELE/AIL/COL Invert: These invert the direction of the input functions.  

   

 

Use these to make the controls move the correct way when setting up your  

 

 

heli.
