  • Page 41: Understanding The Ccpm Control 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 42 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.

  • Page 64: General Radio Setup Information

    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.
  • Page 65 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.
