System Settings
The System Settings section has ten buttons. After a general description of the
options, each one will be described in more detail.
EndPoint – Servo Travel limits.
Reverse – Servo direction settings
SubTrim – offset signal level per servo to assist in centering the
servo to the model.
DR - double ratio controls CH1, CH2, CH4 servo rates
Mode – Determines which servos are controlled by each joy stick
Type – tells the radio the type of swash plate that is in use.
Thro Cuv – Throttle Curve settings
Pitch Cuv – Pitch Curve settings
Swash Afr – used to adjust swash plate travel up and down.
Mix – Provides the ability to assign
a switch or another channel input to influence the signal on another channel.
Typically used in the FS-CT6A radio to assign the Gyro Gain VR(B) dial to
channel 5 in order to control Gyro Gain, but more advanced control methods can
be configured.
New hobbyist are usually intimidated by all of these new terms and setting
options available in this section. I hope to bring some clarity to their usage
by running though a basic setup for a CCPM Helicopter. The buttons on the screen
are not laid out in any particular order, so we will be jumping around during
this setup.
The helicopter model I am using in this demonstration is an EXI 450 V2 Sport
Edition. It is one of my backup helicopters that just so happens to be on the
test stand at the moment, so it volunteered for this document.
