GYRO/RECEIVER/SWITCH HARNESS/BATTERY INSTALLATION Servo Wire Holder Caution: Be certain when installing the Gyro to the Gyro Mounting Plate that it does not come into contact with the frame of the helicopter and that the surfaces are free from oil, residue, etc. Clean if neccessary to insure proper adhesion. It is suggested that both the receiver and gyro amplifier be isolated from vibration by wrapping them in foam, then securing them to the model using double-sided servo tape.
UNDERSTANDING SWASHPLATE CONTROL SYSTEMS Currently, there are several different types of control systems available on the market. Although the mechanical methods for transferring control to the swashplate vary, the different control systems can be broken down into two categories: 1 Servo (conventional) and CCPM (Cyclic/ Collective Pitch Mixing).
When you factor in the reduced parts count and easy programming, 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 page to determine if your radio system has the CCPM function.
HOW JR 120 CCPM WORKS As mentioned previously, JR 120° 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° 3-Servo CCPM function automatically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing inputs for Aileron (roll), Elevator (pitch) and Collective.
Note: The travel values shown for the rudder function are for use with Piezo type gyros, like the JR NEJ-900, NEJ-400, NEJ-450, or NEJ-3000 type gyros. If a conventional mechanical type gyro is used (JR 120, 130 etc.), then the travel value of the rudder channel will need to be...

Elevator Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Front” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH3. AUX 1 (Pitch) Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “ Right” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH6.
Please refer to your particular radio’s section as listed below, or consult your radio instruction manual for more information. JR PCM10, 10S, 10SX, 10SXII, 10X SYSTEMS 1) Enter the Sub-Trim Function (Code 15) 2) Adjust the Left (aileron), Right (AUX 1) and Front (elevator) servos as needed until the servo arm is exactly parallel to the servo as shown when the collective stick is in the center position.
Please also note the direction of the ball links as shown by the JR Propo name imprinted on each ball link. The JR Propo name is imprinted on the front of each ball link. When attaching the control rods, it is important to make sure that the JR Propo name faces outward as the links are attached to the control balls.
CHECKING THE SWASHPLATE FOR LEVEL After the three control linkages have been attached to the swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to insure that it is level. To do this, turn on the radio system and place the collective stick in the center position as before. Next, check to make sure that all trim levers and knobs are also in their center position.
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.
PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST As mentioned in the previous step, 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.
