A little Question. if you buy a rtf heli, is it possible that the swashplate isnt level because its "curves are preprogrammed? i dont mean when you throttle up cause that goes in an even way, but just when you connect the battery to the chopper, the angle of the swashplate seems to be tilting in the oppisite direction of the way the heli wants to pull because of torq! CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS?
@johnnybio1, this is actually a Belt CP V1 Carbon edition. You can't get these any more as they have been replaced by the Belt CP V2 and the even newer Belt CPX.
I bought this Belt CP from Heliguy dotcom (in the UK) but there are loads of online places that should sell the Belt CPX with the CNC pieces. If you are ok building an RC heli and setting it up you could also look at a Align 450 V2 copy from somethere like HobbyKing dotcom. A cheap way to get a great machine.
Ive looked at a lot of CCPM setup videos and I have to say you do a great job of explaining how the swashplate should move in relation to the servos BRAVO sir. I dont know if you can do this but can you show the stick movements as you explain how the swashplate should move,.
@Painless360 Wow, thanks that was fast lol. Another great video for me to thumbs up and favorite. Im sure this will help others and myself who are noobs ti the RC heli world.

Good stuff. Would be nice if you could also go into the issue of binding when increasing the swash mix (too far). I haven't seen many good video's on that.
PheMoX, thanks for the comment. It's always great to hear that the video is useful. I agree - there are not enough 'how to' videos on our hobby.
I try to create a useful video and post it here when I see a question on a forum that can be best answered in this format. Let me know if you can think of any others that would be useful. Thanks again.
Great video! Somewhat of a shame there aren't more of these explaining in detail how more advanced stuff like this works. One part that always confuses me is making sure you've actually got the right servo plugged into the right spot on the rx.
Another thing is some transmitters come with a bunch of swash mix types (mainly amount of servo's and their placement). Something to think about when for example your pitch servo suddenly acts like the elevator is supposed to and such. :) Cheers!
Hei guy, I have to say that, after lot of search, in your video I finally understood what the numbers in the swash menu are for. Thank you!

@bamboozledguy, Good idea. Done. I've uploaded it - look for a video called 'How the swash moves in relation to the controls on a RC Heli '
Hope it helps.
