Hello all.
I am trying to setup my Raptor electric conversion (see this thread for details https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=811119 ) and all works fine until I reaches Geometry 6° tuning step.

For all of the setup, the swashplate follow proper movement requested and also compensate correctly when heli is tilted. When in the tab "Geometry 6° tuning", the swashplate, instead of rising on collective only to a preset position, ends up at an akward angle tilted to the left. When I change the setting, the angle reduces but there is no impact on collective.

All the wires are plugged in at the required locations per manual.

Setup is for a 3 points 90° CCPM. I use the 90° CCPM (velox) setting.

This is the second Spirit I am setting up and the setup went without issue (although it was using 120° CCPM).

I am at lost as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, the unit firmware was updated to latest version.
Note also I posted the same thing on Helifreak.

And happy new year all.

Hello,

this parameter should not move with collective at all.
It should move only with aileron servos so that swashplate is tilted to a side.

So from your description everything is OK. This should be same with any swashplate type.

Thanks for the quick reply. Especially on new years eve. :D

I always though that this setting was for setting 6° collective. I will revisit my other heli before flying it.
From your reply it is to set 6° cyclic if I understand correctly.

Thanks again,
David

Yes, Cyclic, not collective pitch.
