Default Airtronics RD8000 Swashplate Reversal??

Hi all. I'm setting up my first Heli with my RD8000 and it was very easy until I noticed the Swashplate is moving backwards according to my elevator stick. The cyclic is correct (left, right, fwd, aft), but the pitch of the blades is backwards....ie - when the elevator stick is down, the blade pitch is up. I've tried reversing each channel and that just reverses an individual servo, which inturn makes the cyclic wrong...... nothing works?? There has to be a swashplate reversal switch, but I can't find it!!! Please help!!

Thanks

Hi

I have an RD6000 and you should be able to just reverse the pitch channel, the model must be set as HELI (Not AERO). If it is a CCPM heli, that should make all three servo's reverse when you move the pitch stick.

Forgot to say, the pitch channel is marked as P/F on the RD6000

Good luck!!

You can also cheat and do a reverse your pitch curve.

Instead of Neg to High pitch being 0 - 100

Make your Neg to High pitch 100 - 0

It's Ghetto; but it works
