Hi,
if you have only swapped transmitter/receiver you do not need to change servo setup at all.
Everything should be same.

It seems that your servos are connected improperly.
CH1/CH3 are aileron servos,
CH2 elevator,
CH4 rudder.

most probably your ELEV and PIT servos are swapped. You should connect servos in the very same way as with your previous transmitter/receiver.

No, I swapped my RX2702v-d (Walera Devo FBL) with a GR-16 and Spirit, so I needed to connect everyting fresh.

Indeed it sounds like I connected the servos improperly, and I will check that again, when I am back. Just for fun I changed the cyclic phasing in my MZ-24 radio by 90° and it seemed like it was getting better, but I never tried 120°, which I believe would actually lead to the correct result.

Anyway, once I am back I will change the servo connections and retry and will keep you posted.

You have to use no mixing in your transmitter, so 120° is incorrect.
90° should be OK if channels are moving correctly in the diagnostic tab.

Direction is not important at the moment, channels should just correspond with the Diagnostic tab.

As I said, the connection between reseiver and spirit seems to be okay, as all stick movements correspond to correct movements in diagnstic tabs, so aileron and elevator tabs are moving just fine in accordance to my stick movements.

Just the servo travel is not correct and cannot be corrected by reversing the servo channels in the Spirit or reversing servo movements in the transmitter.

I can't check right now. When I am back from travel I will try to swap ch2 and ch3 servo plugs to make sure I didn't mix them up.

ok ... my bad... I actually mixed up the servo cables into the Spirit. Works fine now.
