Align T-Rex 550e V2 3GX setup
Help please. I am using a Futaba 10CHP Tx and a R 617FS Rx with the HR3 swash selected.
I am in the initial stages of setting up the swashplate in the DIR setting on the 3GX system.
I cannot get 1 of the aileron servos to move with aileron or elevator stick movement. It will move with all three during pitch/throttle. If I swap the 2 forward servo plugs around in the 3GX then the other aileron servo won’t move while the other will move correctly. I have tried servo reverse and swash AFR and nothing seems to work.
If I bypass the 3GX unit and plugged my servos directly into the receiver then everything works equally and in the right direction etc.
They said it was going to be easy….

I found out what my problem was. I was following an incorrect manual. The picture in the Align Manual for the Futaba Rx is wrong. The yellow pitch wire goes into channel 6 (NOT 3 as shown)

Sorry. The purple wire goes into channel 3 where the manual shows yellow should be. So all I did was swop the yellow with the purple.
