MODEL TYPE : This function of the PARAMETER submenu is used to select the type of model programming to be used. Before
is an 8JA, the default is ACRO
HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The 8J radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" ( H-1
of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator
(cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the
3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious of
which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos
well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3
HR3
you will still use that swashplate type, but also use SWASH AFR to adjust the functions as needed until it operates properly.
Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes. (See our
