SWP sensitivity
Swashplate sensitivity, 1 – 10, Min or K5 – K16
Default setting: 5
The "SWP sensitivity" row allows you to specify a sensitivity setting either using the values 1 to 10 or by assigning a
channel (K5 to K16) with a proportional control, which is used to control the value. Once you have found a satisfactory
setting, this value can be applied as a fixed value by pressing the "right" or "left" button.
Different settings can then be used to adjust the sensitivity based on specific flight phases.
If the values are too high:
Overstabilisation; the helicopter responds to commands with just a slight delay and oscillates during high-speed flights.
If the values are too low:
Helicopter no longer hovers in a stable manner, susceptible to wind.
Direct stick
Default setting +85
The direct stick setting allows you to set the direct response of the helicopter to the pilot's commands. 3D pilots should
test the response with values ranging between 80 and 95.
If the nick command stops abruptly, the helicopter will oscillate if the value is set too high.

P swp (proportional) swashplate
Swashplate P-factor
Default setting: +100 (typ. 50 – 70)
The P swashplate option is responsible for effecting a harder stop with the swashplate. Higher values result in a faster
stop. If the P values are too high, the helicopter and/or the swashplate will start to "oscillate". In such cases, the value
must be reduced again.
I swp (integral) swashplate
Swashplate I-factor
Default setting: +70 (typ. 70 – 90)
The I-factor ensures constant rolling/nicking. Start with low values and only increase them until the roll and nick rates
are constant.
