In 120 swash mode cyclic controls moving the correct way but pitch is reversed, when I change swash from + to - direction the pitch is correct then, but it reverses the servos, so then I reverse the servos but pitch is backwards again? Boy is that frustrating!

The swash is oriented with the pitch control lever to the front and the 2 legs of the Y to the back (which is opposite of my other eCCPM helis). Its got to be something silly I overlooked I hope :confused:

To simplify things a bit about setting up eCCPM helis.

First make sure that the aileron function works correctly, since this is the only function that only move 2 servos.

Move the aileron stick right. Now we have 4 options:
1: Swashplate tilts right: Correct motion
2: Swasplate tilts left: Reverse function 1 in swash menu
3: Back of swashplate moves up: Reverse channel 6 servo
4: Back of swashplate moves down: Reverse channel 1 servo

Next we check the elevator, push forward cyclic:
1: Front of swashplates tilts down, back up: Correct motion
2: Swashplate move the opposite: Reverse ch2 SWAH mixing
3: Entire swashplate moves up: Reverse channel 2 servo

Now, we test the pitch motion. On positive pitch (stick moved up), the swashplate should move UP on the shaft. If it moves the opposite, reverse the ch 6 mixing in the SWAH menu.

There, now it should move correctly :)

Woohoo!! :D
Following that order its working perfectly! It wasn't exactly intuitive, but I'm not going to let my lack of understanding stand in the way of having fun :p

THanks Svein, Merry Christmas
