Swash Afr; Correction) (Not In H-1 ) - FUTABA 10CAG Instruction Manual

SWASH AFR (not in SWH1 ):
This is fairly hard to explain but easy to see, so let's set up Kyosho
everything installed per factory instructions, set the model to HELI ( HR3 ). Now let's adjust the swashplate properly.
operate backwards (reverse the whole function), or one servo operates backwards (reverse that servo alone).
Next check elevator. Remember, the aileron servo(s) operate correctly, so if elevator does not, we should only have 2
choices left—the whole function needs to be reversed, or the servo(s) not shared with aileron need to be reversed.
Last is collective. If the aileron and elevator controls are working properly, the only thing that could be wrong is the
direction in which the collective operates (reverse the whole function). In our example, HR3 is 180 degrees off from the
swashplate of the Caliber. Therefore, it is very likely that several functions will not operate properly. The collective pitch
operation is backwards; but reversing all three servos would also reverse the aileron and elevator operations. Changing the
collective pitch rate, however, from +50% to -50% , will reverse the collective pitch without affecting the aileron action.

ELEVATOR STICK.
RUDDER STICK.
THROTTLE STICK.
GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Adjust the travel of the collective pitch
from +50% to -23% , reversing the travel
of all 3 servos and decreasing their
travel in collective pitch only, on an
HR3 SWASH TYPE .

(travel) of the aileron, elevator (except H-2 ) and collective pitch functions,
adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only
when using that function. Since these types utilize multiple servos together to
create the controls, simply adjusting a servo's REVERSE or END POINT would not
properly correct the travel of any one control. Since H-1 uses one servo for each
function, there is no need for AFR in H-1 .
CHECKING FOR PROPER MOTION ON AN HR3 SWASHPLATE
PROPER MOTION
Swashplate tilts right.
Front of swash plate moves
down; back of swashplate
moves up.
The leading edges of tail
blades rotate left.
Entire Swashplate lifts.
STEPS:
Open SWASH AFR function.
Adjust PITC travel to -23% .
Close the menu.
Apply full collective and check that the swashplate remained level. If not, adjust
servo's travels as needed to correct. END POINT : see p. 39.
Set up the normal condition: ( THR-CURV/NOR, PIT-CURV/NOR, REVO./NORM ):
see p. 97.
Set up D/R , EXP : see p. 42.
