HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The 10CG radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" (H-1-many helicopters use this type) and 7
types of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron,
elevator (cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve
the 3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious
of which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos
working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator movement) dramatically increases the torque available as
well as the precision and centering.

Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3, except off by 180 degrees. For example, the Kyosho
®
Caliber is

but with the 2 parallel servos to the rear of the helicopter, not front. If your model's swashplate is off by 180 degrees,
you will still use that swashplate type, but also use SWASH AFR (p.95) to adjust the functions as needed until it operates
properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.
