| I am not going to attempt tp give technical descriptions on the differance of standard and ccpm, or eccpm. Heli enthusiests here have done a much better job of that than I could. I would prefer however, to give my take on the actual "feel" of flying the 2 differant swash setups, more from a pilots point of view. I have owned and flown both, as far as flying goes, there is not much differance. Some here will complain of "interaction" that occurs with ccpm. I have never found that to be of any significance. Yes, I DO most definately see and feel a slight interaction, but what the hell, we do fly in the wind, right? Flying in the wind will cause you to compensate to keep your machine level, so forget about interaction. From an engineering point of view, I most definatley prefer ccpm, or eccpm. 3 servos pushing on you collective function at the same time just seems like a better idea to me, and I do tend to hammer the sticks. Just my take on this!

Just set it up using the MMix and don't worry about understanding the eCCMP if you're new to this hobby. There are no benifits you will gain from eCCMP at this stage. I would Imagine there are those who fly 3D that have a different opinion. My Eco flies better with eCCPM only because of the Ikarus design flaws using their sliding pitch tray for MMix. The sceadu and Raptor do not have these design flaws.I was also able to save a little weight going eCCPM with the eco 8 too, and weight is everything to an Electric, that is the only reason I did it. As a matter of fact before I purchased the Raptor I was going to get the JR Venture 30 until I found out it was eCCPM only. So I bought a Raptor and have never looked back! So anyway stick to the MMixing and have a ball!.....................Lots easier to set up too.
