Electronics installation
The main and tail mechanics are now assembled
The main and tail mechanics are now assembled.
They will be assembled together after installation of the main mechanics in the body of
the scale fuselage.
It will be easy to setup the servos as their supports can rtoate and slide up and down.
This will allow an optimal alignment of the linkages (parrallel to the main shaft) with the
swashplate. Install the ball links on the servos horns at approximatively 14mm from the

servo center. Once you have aligned the linkages correctly, check neutral points and
horns alignment. Don't forget to secure the servos supports on their shaft with the M3x3
screws and thread lock.
Depending on the servo brand you will be using, the linkages length can need slight
adjustment. Take your time to make sure that with servo horns horizontal, the pitch is at
0°and all levers of the rotor head are aligned With a safe and clean mechanical base
0 and all levers of the rotor head are aligned. With a safe and clean mechanical base,
transmitter setup will be much easier.
Indicated linkages lengths on the pictures booklet are based on Pro-Tronik servos.
The swashplate type is CCPM 120°, meaning that the transmitter will handle the mixing
of the 3 following servos: Aileron, Pitch and Elevator.
Most of the time some people and especially beginners do not read the transmitter
Most of the time, some people and especially beginners do not read the transmitter
manuals correclty and setup the ATV's of the servos channel per channel. This shall not
be done, ATV's must be the same for the 3 swashplate servos. Only function you can
use on each individual channel ( Elevator, Aileron, Pitch) is subtrim, to have the horns
perfectly horizontal at middle stick, and reverse to have the servos moving the right way.
Then, any other function must be setup using the « swashplate » function of the
transmitter (elevator and aileron direction, max cyclic and pitch values).
The values indicated in the next steps are based on DX7 transmitter and are given only
as example. You will need to fine tune your model depending of your tranmsitter type and
your mechanical installation.
