chopperdudes,

LMAO, I've been trying to figure that out too! It doesn't CHANGE collective, and it doesn't CHANGE cyclic, so the only reason I can think of is that somehow it tightens up all the linkages. Sorta like pulling a chain rather than pushing it? He didn't go into any depth or detail, like I said, I had to follow the pictures. He was supposed to have his setup posted on the Spektrum website, I haven't seen it yet. I DO notice it most on landing. It is much smoother than ever before.

One thing I discovered tonight is that you now lengthen the pitch links for more negative rather than tighten. I like that, it seems I was always fighting to get enough negative unless I set my swash height just right.

I ordered three of the S60 servos also, even though I don't need them yet. I'll try them when the JR sm 22s I'm using now wear out.

I figured out last night that someone wanting to use the Hitec HS 55 servos could do this mod, and not have to reverse the wiring! This mod reverses the swash mixing.

Let us know how it works for you.
