Swash - Swashplate Mixer - GRAUPNER mz-24 Pro Programming Manual

Swash
Pitch, Roll and Nick Mixer
This submenu option is not available for the model set-
ting 1SERVO NOR.
This function is used to fine tune the outputs of the
mixing. Three interdependent servo linkages arranged
around the swashplate share the workload of con-
trolling control roll, control pitch and collective pitch.
Swashplate mix numbers represent the % of servo
function movement and the +/- symbols indicate di-
rection the servo will move. For example, increasing a
servo output to +70% will increase the servo function
range and blade pitch while an output in one direc-
tion, while -70% will increase the servo function range
and blade pitch in the opposite direction.
To adjust these settings, from the main display press
the FUNCTION menu gear icon (blue "F") to bring up
the FUNCTION submenu screen:

mixers do not need to be defined.
If the model is controlled using a separate pitch ser-
vo, the Swash submenu is unnecessary since three
software program operates the swashplate servos
seperately for pitch, elevation and roll (i.e. without any
mixer) and the Swash submenu will not appear in the

are set up by default. In the following examples, the

If the swashplate control (pitch, roll and elevation)
does not respond to the control sticks properly, alter
the mixer directions (+/-) before correcting the servo
rotation direction.
Notice
Ensure that changed mixer values do not result in
the servos mechanically striking their end-stops.
