“exact” neutral settings. SERVO HORN INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS Since the servo output spline on a JR system has an odd number of teeth (23), it’s possible to reposition the servo arm on the servo at 90° intervals to achieve the proper neutral attachment of the servo horn. Once the correct arm of the servo horn has been established, it’s suggested that the remaining unused arms be removed from the servo horn as shown in the installation diagrams in the following section.
CCPM is actually easier to set up and operate than many conventional systems. For JR radio owners, please refer to the radio information contained at the front of this manual or on the following pages to determine if your radio system has the CCPM function. For other brands of radio systems, please contact the radio manufacturer for CCPM information.
Page 46
The JR 120°/140° three servo CCPM relies on the radio’s special CCPM swashplate mixing, rather than a conventional mechanical mixer that is utilized to achieve the same results. The radio’s 120° or 140° 3-servo CCPM function automatically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing inputs for aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective. The following is an example of how each control input affects the servo’s movement.
Aux 1 (Pitch) Servo: This is the front left servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH6. Please refer to the CCPM connections chart below for clarification. For non-JR radios, please consult your radio instructions for proper connection.
JR X9303 2.4 Spektrum DX7se CCPM-Ready JR Radio Systems Most current JR and Spektrum heli radio systems (12X, X9303 2.4, XP9303, DX7se, DX7, DX6i, as well as older 10 series systems) are equipped with 120° and/or 140° CCPM electronics for use with JR CCPM machines. Radios you may be flying now, like the X347, X388S, XP783 and XP8103 have 120° CCPM capability built in but require activation by the Horizon Service Department. Please call 877-504-0233 for details.

GYRO/RECEIVER/BATTERY INSTALLATION Be certain when installing the gyro unit to the front radio bed that it does not come in contact with the frame of the helicopter, etc. Also make sure that the front radio bed is free from oil and debris. Clean with rubbing alcohol to ensure proper adhesion.
This condition is generally more common when standard-type servos are used. If JR® digital servos are used, the adjustment required is generally very small, if any. These variations in travel can be corrected by altering the travel value of each servo slightly through the travel adjustment function. To check the pitch-...

PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST The total travel of each servo can vary slightly, which can also cause the swashplate to be tilted fore and aft when the collective is moved to the extreme high and low pitch positions. This situation can also be corrected if necessary through the use of the travel adjustment function.
FInAl servo Adjustment And rAdIo setuP Now that the radio system is completely installed into the helicopter, it’s necessary to check and adjust the following: 1. Servo Direction (Servo Reversing) Check to ensure that all servos have been set to the correct direction. 2.
