feathers55:: ... I have a Futaba T9CP ... set up the tranny on SWH1, and carefully checked all movements on low RPM.
Are you sure the Twister 3D is non-CCPM??? SWH1 is for non-CCPM. SR-3 is for 120° swash CCPM. Just make sure you know exactly what your heli's swash config is.

First, you shouldn't spin up the rotor to check your controls. The controls can be checked on the bench. Just disconnect the motor from the ESC and wiggle the sticks all you want ... but don't just wiggle the sticks and say it's good because a servo moved. Verify that the swash is in fact moving correctly for the command you are giving.

Second, what is your blade pitch readings at low, mid, and hi stick? If you are getting plenty of RPM but now lift ... your pitch is probably incorrect. Is the pitch going positive when you give forward collective or is it going negative pitch. If going negative, the pitch FUNCTION needs reversed ... that's the pitch FUNCTION not the pitch CHANNEL.

What version of the 9C ... (A) or (H)???
