I just picked up a Reflex XTR. I have a Futaba 7CHP tx and need some help setting it up with a heli model (specifically the Eolo and Raptor).

Could someone please help me. There's no Reflex manual and the on-line help is a little confusing.

The main issue is with pitch and throttle. When I do the hover-training, the tail, elevator, aileron all work as it should as long as I keep the pitch/throttle stick centered. When I move the pitch/throttle stick up, the heli (from tail-in view) does a forward/left (tail moves right) movement and I can flip the heli inverted over and over.

When I go into the channel display, all 3 bars (aileron, elevator, pitch) move up and down together as it should. Then why doesn't the heli just move up/down with throttle/pitch movements?

Setup:
CH1 - Aileron
CH2 - Elevator
CH3 - Throttle
CH4 - Rudder/Gyro Piezo-Integral (like HH right?)
CH5 - Gyro input
CH6 - Pitch

Revo-Mix off

On the 7CHP, I'm using HR3 swash setting (120* CCPM)

In the Radio->Assign Channels... dialog, do you have channel 3 assigned to throttle and channel 6 assigned to pitch?

kjohnson - Yes, that's how it's assigned.

I copied my Eolo model setup for the XTR and on my Eolo, it's fine. There's something going on with the settings in XTR.

I think I found the problem. I have 120 degree swash mixing enabled. I need to disable swash mixing.
