  • Page 43 HOW JR ® 120/140 CCPM WORKS 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 auto- matically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing inputs for aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective.
  • Page 44: Important Ccpm Programming Do's & Dont's

    This variation is more common in analog type servos. If JR’s new digital servos are used, the travel adjustment values will generally not need to be altered.
  • Page 45 Aileron Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Right Front” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH2. Aux 1 (Pitch) Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Left Front” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH6.

  • Page 50: Preparation And Installation Of Servo Horns

    Before trimming the servo horns as shown, it is first suggested that these horns be test fit to the servo to achieve the correct positioning. JR servos utilize a 21 spline output shaft, which allows the position of the servo arm to be varied when rotated at 180-degree intervals.
