  • Page 49: Basic Model/Radio Set Up

    Basic Model/Radio set up The X-Cell Furion 6 is an eCCPM model. This means that the servos that are connected to the swashplate move together to achieve the function requested from the transmitter input. The transmitter mixes the channels required to achieve the correct movement of the swashplate.

  • Page 50: Swashplate Eccpm Set Up

    Swashplate eCCPM Set Up: Now that you’ve built your new Furion 6 helicopter, you have to make the servos work together. The Furion 6 is an eCCPM model, and requires a specific radio program for the servos that control the swashplate. eCCPM is a mix that is already programmed in your transmitter, you just have to fine tune it to your Furion 6 and here’s how: The very first thing you need to do is tell your radio that a 120 degree eCCPM mix must be used.

  • Page 51: Pitch Curve Set Up

    Pitch Curve Set Up: It is important that you build your model to exactly the way described in this manual. Make sure all your linkage rods are exactly the length determined in the manual included with your helicopter kit. First, go to the pitch curve menu in your radio for Idle up 1, or Stunt mode 1. You’ll see numbers, a graph or both. There will generally be 5 points you can adjust.

  • Page 52: Throttle Curve Set Up

    Throttle Curve Set Up: Turn on your transmitter. Scroll to the “throttle curve” screen and notice that there are points, usually 5, and all have an assignable percentage. For example, point 1 is 0%, and point 5 is 100%. This will be the starting point for “normal” mode, and will get the model in the air.
