I have a new 12fgh 2.4ghz version(Software 1.3) I just got and have just replaced my futaba 9cap on my Trex600N heli.

I have aileron(1) Elevator(2) Pitch(3)Rudder(4) Swash HR3. I have reversed Throttle, Rudder and Pitch and have put elevator to -50% in Swash AFR same settings as my 9cap.

When I apply throttle/pitch my swash gives elevator, when I give elevator its seems to give pitch(swash goes up and down). What am I doing wrong, I double checked wiring.

Sounds like you must also reverse the elevator channel, as well.

Thank You that fixed it
Is it normal that my servo horn position seems to have slightly changed with my new radio. At zero pitch on my radio my align swash leveling tool doesnt fit under my swash now. Id figure servo horns and mechanical linkages would be the same. Unless the new radio is a lot more precise resulting in me having to redo a horn or too.

Also how do you use the 5 point curve instead of the 17, cant you just enter for the 5 points and have the radio automatically set the rest points accordingly.

Regarding the pitch at mid stick, it could have been due to the stick calibration of your old radio.

For the curves, you can even have a two point curve. See the manual on how to add/delete curve points.

Yes, you can turn the intermediate points on and off as you please. If you turn off the point, the computer extrapolates the curve between the active points.

On my 3D bird, I only use 3 points on pitch curve.

How do you stop throttle cut from working when your in idle up low stick? Im using reg throttle cut and not the hold cut. I understand the hold cut works in any throttle position.

You can't. Just set the low stick position as low as possible...and don't hit the switch

Ordered a digital pitch gauge from hangar 9 to help with my eye strain

For throttle cut it mentions in a online guide that you can set the throttle position that activates it. Right now its up to about 1/4 throttle that you can activate it from, how do you lower that value? I only use it at full idle anyhow
