H-40
The Swashplate Mix screen has several important functions.
These functions include:
This function independently adjusts the maximum travel of
the servos that work in unison for aileron, elevator and pitch
control. If the aileron value is increased, the servos that control
aileron only (the pitch and aileron servos) will increase travel
when the ailerons are deflected and won’t affect pitch or elevator
travel. Conversely if the pitch value is increased all three servos
(aileron, elevator and pitch) will increase travel when the pitch
stick is moved, however, aileron or elevator inputs will not be
affected by this travel increase. To reverse the direction of travel
a – (negative) value can be selected. Adjustment range is from
-125 to +125% (defaulted to +60).
This mix is used to correct for swashplate interactions (i.e.
elevator input resulting in slight roll output). By mixing elevator
to opposite aileron, this interaction can be corrected. Switches
or flight modes can be selected (SE SEL) to turn this mix on/off.
Generally this mix is turned on in stunt modes only.

3D Electronic Cyclic Ring
An exponential function is available that compensates for
CCPM servo horn non-linearity at the extremes of travel. It is
recommended that this function always be turned on.
When active, the 3D electronic cyclic ring prevents the cyclic
servos (aileron, elevator and pitch) from overdriving when a full
elevator and aileron command is given. This is commonly used
for 3D helicopters that are set up to give maximum swashplate
travel for high cyclic rate maneuvers.
