| I got to touch and feel a 12X yesterday. I didn't get to go through every menu and option, but I did take a look at the swash mix screen that it has for CCPM. No, it does not have every single swash detail setting exactly like the 12Z and 14MZ. But, I think some of the settings are simply achieved differently on the 12X versus those two.
What it does have... Pre-defined aileron to elevator and elevator to aileron mixes. Fully adjustable elevator input servo speed compensation (to eliminate unintended collective dance during fast elevator inputs). Fully adjustable swash expo (to eliminate reduced cyclic input and slight unintended collective input away from zero collective). I think those two adjustments go a long, long way to dialing out swash interactions.
What is achieved differently is that you level the swash at the top and bottom using travel adjusts instead of a mix settings. And as for the other predefined linkage compensation mixes of the 12Z and 14MZ, those could easily be reproduced using some of the eight available mixes of the 12X, five of which are 8-point curve mixes.
Some other tidbits... Six flight modes with user definable names. Up to eight-point pitch and throttle curves; you pick how many and where the points are located. Six swash plate types. Electronic cyclic ring. Throttle position triggerable timer.
This is a nice, really nice radio, guys. Solid, quality, and high-end feel. And, programming is really easy as it follows the 9303 programming philosophy.
