Default Helicopter Control Systems & CCPM

Youe explanation of the advantages and disavantages are very informative to say the least.

Interesting Mike, this is based on you ideas-theory on CCPM is the reasons I did not go with digital servos but actually used all non digital on my Quick 30 Pro's I am now building two of them.

I have the servo wiring setup were precautions have been taking to prevent wire damage to a minimal. I have used the twisted type of insulator wiring protector to prevent chaffing of the wires and a small tab that will release on impact of the heli's servo wiring. Exposure to the elements such as fuel and other elements like being out of a protected enviorment must be considered when building. More time involved but a interesting project.

I have become somewhat familiar with systems utilizing 2 inputs with fixed swashplate design-fixed with 3-4 input design-Moving Swashplate with 3 input at 120 degrees-moving SP with 90 degrees 3 inputs-3 inputs at 120 degrees-4 inputs at 90 degrees-then the Heim setup (mechanical)-Rocking servo mixer-& electronic mixing system-most widely used Swashplate / CCPM setup, the 120 degrees 3 servo set-up.
Which is the favored by you & why Mike?

The few Quicks I have seen fly are incredibly smooth using non digital servos which will decrease the drain on the systems battery. Used non digitals because I have quite a few NIB flight packs as well I need to use. I am as always on a budget of expense.
Hey Mike I got your package TY!
