HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The 8J radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" ( H-1 PDQ\ KHOLFRSWHUV XVH WKLV W\SH DQG  W\SHV
of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator

Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes. (See our
