Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to get the collective to move the right direction with a Futaba 8U (non-super) using CCPM (EMS) on a Caliber 30? Everything is set up according to the manual and the Futaba website, the cyclic works correctly, but the collective needs to be reversed.

I have asked this question in other threads and nobody can give me an answer. I have tried every suggestion in these threads and on the Futaba FAQs. Nothing works.

Yes, get a basic radio and sell the computer model. Then go fly.

Unless I'm missing something, you need a computer radio to do the electronic mixing, so getting a basic radio would be a step backwards.

Anyway, someone may have found a solution; I have to try reversing the pitch curves.

Are you with the minuteman program? I worked with the 390th at Tucson - Titan II... may they rest in peace. Olympic Arena 1982 (SMCC).

There haven't been missiles here for years. Ellsworth has two squadrons of B-1's.

I think you either need to reverse the collective, or change the value of the collective in the ccpm setup from positive to negative. Scroll to 0 and see if it will keep going but now negative.

The solution is to reverse the pitch curve. I tried it last night and it works, problem solved.
