5.2 HELI-SPECIFIC BASIC MENU FUNCTIONS
MODEL TYPE: This function of the PARAMETER submenu is used to select the type of model
programming to be used. Before doing anything else to set up your model, first you must decide
which MODEL TYPE best fits your MULTIROTOR.
HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The AT10II radios support 8 basic swash plate setups, including "single servo" (H-1-most
helicopters use this type) and 7 types of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo"
swash plate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator (cyclic pitch), and collective pitch.
CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the 3 axes of motion.
There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious
of which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swash plate of the helicopter.
Additionally, several servos working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator
movement) dramatically increases the torque available as well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3, except off by 180 degrees. If your model 's
swash plate is off by 180 you will still use that swash plate type, but also use SWASH AFR to adjust
the functions as needed until it operates properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also
be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.
