I have been trying to find a basic settup for my MX400 electric Heli to just get me going but without success. Bits and pieces here and there but I really need someone to give me a bit of a kick to get me going.

I need

1. End point adjustment

2. Normal throttle curve

3. Normat pitch curve

4. Idole up throttle curve function

5. Idle up pitch curve

6. Hold..... Throttle hold function

7. Pitch rudder mixing function

8. Gyro mixing function

9. Swashplate type .I-5 3-S or 3-E

10. Fail safe



It is a lot to ask but someone out there knows this stuff on the top of their head and I have noone around to help give me a place to start.



Thanks in advance

(7) That's called REVO. It changes the rudder command as you change the collective stick position.
What gyro do you have and does it have HH capability and are you going to fly in HH?
If you were going to use REVO at all, it would be when the gyro is in RATE mode. Most gyro instructs say to
turn REVO off in HH mode.


(9) Swashplate type .I-5 3-S or 3-E

It's 1-S (ONE-ESS) not I-5 (eye-five).

In the TX manual (PG 28) it says that 1-S: Independent aileron, pitch and elevator servos linked to the swashplate.
That's called non-CCPM for the informed.

OK ... just browsed through your helis manual (for both EP and Pro) it appears that you have a non-CCPM swash config
on the MX400 (ie Independent aileron, pitch and elevator servos linked to the swashplate).

?????????

The manual's description of swash type 1-S is not too helpful.
Here's a photo that might help:

I should have mentioned that I bought a used Heli and it is completley upgraded . I have included a picture of the swash plate. It doesn't look like the one for 1-S above . Does anyone recognise it?

Yep ... should have ... woulda saved some bandwith ... and possibly a crash and maybe a headache during setup ... but other than that ...

The picture I posted is from the MX400 Pro manual ... so it's what the original config was.

This (ooooh .... shiny ...) is:

a swash of the 120° persuasion ... a CCPM swash config ... which is a different animal indeed.
Looks like the right side of the heli with elevator servo near right and pitch servo near left and aileron servo
far side.

In that case, DON'T USE 1-S and use 3-S instead ... and start brushing up on the SWASH AFR menu
and what it does.

From the 6EX manual: 3-S: With Aileron inputs, the aileron and pitch servos tilt the swashplate left and
right; with Elevator inputs, the three servos tilt the swashplate fore and aft; with Pitch
inputs, all three servos raise the swashplate up and down.

Yep... should have mentioned that it had been converted to eCCPM.

Oh well,.....
