Okay! As promised, last night I completed the CCPM setup! Fireup's swash spacer tool made the setup quite easy. The block makes it easy to set the initial height and level of the swash plate, and then it was very easy to work my way up from there. [8D]

I started out with about a 24 degree pitch range and then dialed that down to +/- 10 degrees using the swash menu on my DX7.

Tonight, I am going to go back and start almost completely over and get it perfect. Once that is done, all I will have to do is to enter my throttle and pitch curves, setup the tail servo and gyro, and then attach my training gear!


THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! Soon, I will be joining the ranks of TREX pilots!

One potential problem, though: my servos are making a "clicking" noise. I have recorded a video clip whee you can hear the sound fairly well. I would appreciate it if someone (or several someones) could watch it and give me your feedback on whether or not I should take these back to the LHS where I bought them.

NOTE: The clicking sound DOES NOT correspond with servo glitching, i.e. no movement on the servos at all with this sound. Servos function normally and do not make any grinding sounds or anything like that. I have tried to isolate this sound to a single servo, but all three of the cyclic servos make the sound when plugged into the Rx.

Here is the link to the video.
