Sorry almost forgot my pitch settings are 035, 045, 055, 060, 070 I brought the last two down a bit for better control. Ohh and the swash is 90 deg.
That pitch curve doesnt seem right to me, then again...I dont own this heli.
the pitch curve for normal on an mcpx should be something like 30 40 50 75 100, for st1 and st2 0 25 50 75 100
Is the swash type 90 degree 1 servo? If so, thats the same as the mcpx. And you should have a travel adjust for PITCH in your setup menu. The top number would be the amount of pitch at full positive while the bottom number would be the amount of pitch for full negative. This is what I adjusted on my mCPX to offset the factory setup of the linkages and get my pitch amounts correct. Like I said before, my heli had more negative than positive. But after tweaking I got it close to the same in both directions.
If you adjust the travel adjust of pitch...you may or may not need to adjust your pitch curves. I feel you need to adjust them anyway because your max pitch is at 70% and not 100%. But, maybe that is what the manual called for and I just dont know it because I never set one of the Heli Max' helis up before.
You could be right that your motor is bad or going bad. Without knowing how many flights you have put on it...there is no way to really tell. But, with brushed motors, you can expect them to give out at some point. If your heli still has low hours of operation on it...I wouldnt think it would be the motor. If its been flown around the world a couple times...then yeah...I wouldnt rule out the motor. I say this because a friend of mine just bought a used mcpx to learn to fly on and I set it up for him and could tell right away that it needs a new motor. The heli just doesnt have the power that mine does and everything else is identical in setup.
