Hi all, is the Spirit capable of electronic phasing on a multi blade scale helicopter?

Thank you! I knew it could do it I just couldn't find it in the software. It's called cyclic phase :)

Is the phasing accessible for a two blades model to retard swash phasing a bit for more axial rolls? It seems to be greyed out on my screen.

Hi Ben

is it possible that you are NOT in bank 0 when trying to change the value?
cheers

Edited. Problem solved. I wasn't thinking correctly about the phasing output with an ele input. All is well. What I had written would only serve to confuse.

Thanks Michael. I emailed Tomas and asked for his comment here and on a post I had made about cyclic tuning.

Hello,

cyclic phasing should work identically on all models and FBL units.
It is working in the way where swashplate movements are rotated in one or another way by degrees you will enter.
Both axes are rotated always in the same direction, otherwise it does not make sense.

If you are getting incorrect behavior then it mean that your basic setup is not correct unfortunately.
You can check it easily in this way:
1) Enable normal flight mode
2) Move with collective pitch up and down
3) Check Diagnostic tab if the Pitch bar is moving up and down in the same direction as your stick.
4) Check that you have correct Swashplate Type
