RC Heli Setup & Tips For Installing

Collective Cyclic Pitch Mixing or CCPM is one of the two most popular methods to control the movement of swashplate on a Rc Helicopter. With the transmitter is now in the modern CCPM has been made easier and almost no problems of many fliers earlier than us. With a few simple tips, which heli pilot and may be able to CCPM expert.

CCPM can be defined as some Servo collaboration and mutual reliance between one another in a Rc Helicopter to implement all the movements swashplate (Collective, aileron and elevators). There were 4 and 3 Servo Servo CCPM setup, but most Rc Helicopter today use 3 Servo 120 ° setup.

Another method to control the movement of swashplate is not CCPM (non-CCPM), better known Single Servo Mechanical. Single Servo Mechanical control is using a Servo to control a movement. Servo is working with its own and not depend with one another because each one servo has work to the movement of the swashplate. For example, one Servo control Collective, a Servo control aileron and one Servo control elevators.

The third movement CCPM combine three servo to control the movement of the entire swashplate. For example, the Collective for the third three servo will move the entire swashplate above or down simultaneously. CCPM does not apply in the swashplate movement without movement of at least two Servo.





Among the advantages of many CCPM heli Single Servo Mechanical heli:
- Mechanical setup easier, usually less and less linkage parts.
- Less slop because of the lack of linkage.
- More than light because the parts used slightly less.
- Having more torque on the movement because the three swashplate servo blown weight.

Among the shortcomings CCPM heli:
- The existence of interaction, the overall movement swashplate especially when no one move quickly where Servo movement itself is not one, are moving more slowly or move more than the other.
- Any CCPM Helicopter use the direct link of the Servo swashplate will disclose to the Servo-Servo is more easily damaged when the crash.
- In Helicopter CCPM if one Servo damaged during the flight, all the basic SWASH control will be neglected, decrease the opportunity to save the heli.
- CCPM setup need to use Servo Servo-high quality and brand and model, tempering the brand and model of Servo or want to save crash will cause headaches during setup and also during the flight.
