Swashplate setup on flybar system

Posted by Spencer on August 14, 2013 at 2:16pm

So I'm setting up a 450 clone with a flybar system. I flipped the blade grips so the linkage is on the leading edge of the blade (I heard this is better mechanically).

To get the swashplate to respond properly to my radio I had to reverse all three cyclic servos in the mission planner. So now the swashplate responds to my radio inputs correctly, but when I roll or pitch the heli in stabilize APM moves the swashplate the wrong directions. Do I have to undo my alteration to the blade grips or is there another way around?

Thanks

    Try flipping the servo positions in mp. That worked for me when I had that problem.

    I should mention that before I flipped the blade grips I had everything working smoothly. I think the problem comes from the fact that the swashplate now moves down to pitch the blades positive and vice versa.

    Are you running your radio in heli mode or standard (plane) mode?
