Just finishing up the set up. This heli uses trailing edge control of the blades. The swash moves downward to achieve positive pitch. After set up, I see on the advanced tab that I can check a box for trailing edge control. When I did that I had to reverse the directions of the pitch, elevator and aileron servos. When I move the helicopter around it seem as though the correction is opposite of what it should be. If I tilt the nose down, I believe the correction response would be to lower the pitch and aileron and raise the elevator servos. (opposite of a conventional helicopter). I can only get this if I "uncheck" the box, and go back to the original servo reverses. Hope this makes sense?

Look at how the cyclic control moves the blades with the swash set at zero pitch. The blade pitch angle mirrors the angle of the swash. It is the same for leading edge or trailing edge control. It is only the collective control that is backwards.

I follow your statement and it seems to be true, thanks.
