You win the prize. You are spot on. The Heli is CCPM and I switched from SWH1 to SR-3. The Heli now lifts. I sure got it wrong and thank you for your advice and putting me right. Of course Murphy's law, a storm is brewing up outside which precludes me from a trial hover. Back to the G3 sim where all the helis work just fine.
I do disconnect the motor to check correct servo movements, but with the wrong programme I was going nowhere.
My futaba tranny is a T9CP Super. I don't see any A or H ??
