INTRODUCTION OF E-CCPM CONTROL SYSTEM The E-CCPM(Electric Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing) system offers the users a control system that can accomplish the same control as traditional M-CCPM(Mechanical Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing) system, but with simple machinery. The 120°∘ E-CCPM system utilizes 3 servos for the main control of aileron, elevator and collective pitch.
Page 35
MOVEMENT OF 120°∘ E CCPM SYSTEM The given inputs are executed by the team work of the 3 servos through the mixing program of the radio or the electronic mixer. The following are the examples showing how the movement be carried out.
Page 36
MOVEMENT OF 120°∘ E CCPM SYSTEM ELEVATOR The elevator is controlled by all of the 3 servos. When an elevator command is given, the 2 servos in the front move in the same direction and the third one move contrary. For example, when a down elevator command is given, the 2 front servos pull the swashplate downward and the third one push the swashplate upward so that the down elevator command is executed.
SERVO CONNECTING E-CCPM system requires 3 channel for aileron, elevator and an AUX(for pitch). But people may get confused because the 3 channels are not referred to any independent movement. They are operated together to carry out the rolling, flipping and collective controlling. As a result, the following connecting manner is recommended.
Page 38
BASIC CONCEPT OF ADJUSTMENT Because people may be confused with the operating manner of the E-CCPM system, we want to explain the basic concept of how to center and trim the servo while adjusting the full travel distance. First of all, we have to make it clear about what do you want to adjust. Do you want to adjust the servo itself or the control surface? For example, if you want to adjust the servo which is plugged into the aileron channel itself, only the servo will be adjusted.
CONCEPT OF BASIC SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT Before starting, make sure the following preparation is done. 1. Set all trims, knobs, and switches to the neutral and zero position. 2. Reset the radio to its factory preset position. 3. Choose the 120°∘ E-CCPM swashplate control mode. Reversing/Swash Mixing The moving direction of servos has to be confirmed.
Page 40
CONCEPT OF BASIC SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT Level the Swashplate After centering the servos, setting the length of the control linkages and attaching them to the link balls, it is important to check the swashplate that it is level. Turn on the transmitter and the receiver, do not connect the Motor at this moment, and center the collective pitch stick.
Page 41
COLLECTIVE TO CYCLIC MIXING ADJUSTMENT It always happens that the travel of each servo varies slightly. If so, the swashplate would be tilted when giving a full collective pitch command. These variations can be corrected by altering the travel value of each servo slightly by using the “Travel Adjustment” function. Pitch to Aileron Mixing Place the collective stick to the full positive pitch position.
Page 42
COLLECTIVE TO CYCLIC MIXING ADJUSTMENT Pitch to Elevator Mixing Through the previous step, we’ve got rid of the pitch to aileron mixing. It is as important to vanish the pitch to elevator mixing. Place the collective stick to the full positive pitch position. Check the swashplate from a side of the model to insure if it’s level from head to rear.
SETTING UP OF LINKAGE The lengths of the linkage rods are recommended as the following: 18mm 41.5mm 23mm 20mm 36.5mm Lengths are measured from ball link center to ball link center. The pushrod length above is suitable for beginner and 3D flying. You can use those lengths as the starting setting, and adjust the lengths for your flying style.
Page 44
SETTING UP MAIN ROTOR COLLECTIVE PITCH ANGLE Main Frame Assembly-2 Since you have been setting the lengths of the pushrod as mentioned, the linkage should be centered well as described below. Centering 1. The levers should be as the drawing below while centering the collective pitch stick.
SETTING UP DATA FOR YOUR REFERENCE The following is the setting up data of pitch curve and throttle curve for your reference only. Please ask experienced pilot to help you if you have never done this before. Beginner Throttle Curve Pitch Curve Throttle Curve Thro.
Page 46
TAIL CONTROL AND GYRO SETUP It is recommended to use a Heading Hold Gyro. With a Heading Hold Gyro, you may not use the trim and the revolution mixing function of tail control. First, choose the length of the tail servo arm referring to the manual of the Gyro.

USING OF LI-PO BATTERY The mini Titan E325 is an electric RC helicopter. It is strongly recommended to use Lithium Polymer Battery. Please refer to the following information and precaution: 1. Do use a charger that is designed for Li-Poly batteries only.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Helicopters Q: What would you check when the helicopter shakes during flying? Are the main blades out of track? Are the paddles out of track? Are the main blades well balanced? Are the paddles well mounted at the same distance from the rotor shaft? Is the spindle or the flybar bent? Is the main shaft bent?
Page 49
TROUBLE SHOOTING The pinion would be 150T / 11.1 = 13.51 So we choose 13T as the motor pinion. IF using a 2S(7.4V) Li-Po battery for long time hovering, the motor rpm should be 3500KV x 3.7V x 2S x 0.8= 20720 rpm And we expect to have the hovering head speed of 2100rpm 20720 / Gear Ratio = 2100 Gear Ratio = 9.87...
