RE: DX7 settings for CPP2 questions.
When I had my CPP I think my swashmix for pitch was around 30% also. You also have to watch out with a max pos or neg pitch(I can't remember which one) the flybar will lock up, so the pitch needs to be a little lower so the flybar can move a little.
If your swash is level through its full travel the AILE and ELEV swashmixes should be the same, but might be different than the PIT swashmix. How I set mine up is move the collective to get 0 degrees of pitch. Then with the blades parallel to the boom move the aileron to the max and adjust the AILE swashmix until you get 9-10 degrees of pitch. Then you can check the elevator by moving the blades perpendicular to the boom and move the elevator to the max. If the cyclic is to fast for you then you can move AILE and ELEV both down the same amount until you like the way it flies.
