Hello,

I am brand new to RC helis, having just purchased a Blade CX2. I am having a great time with it so far. I have a question about the swashplate. I was expecting to see that the elevator servo for forward/rear flight would hook to the back of the swashplate, and that the aileron servo for left/right flight would hook 90 degrees off of that on the side of the swashplate. I was surprised to find them separated by only about 45 degrees and in similar but opposite positions on the rear/sides of the swashplate. How does it work like this? It seems that the elevator and aileron controls produce the same type of swashplate movements and that they would result in diagonal flights. Am I missing something?

Thanks, Dan
