Default RE: CCPM what is that???

First off yes the 9cap will do CCPM. CCPM stands for collective cyclic pitch mix. In CCPM 3 servos work together to move the swash plate. Where a standard system 3 servos work independently to move the swash plate. In CCPM when you give collective input all 3 servos move together to increase and decrease collective pitch this gives you 3x the servo torque on moving the collective. When you give cyclic input 2 servos move together. I have flown both types and I definitely prefer the CCPM the controls are a lot smoother. the biggest advantage of CCPM is that you don't have to use as high of torque servo on the swash so it saves some money on servo cost and power consumption is less.
