sorry, not familiar with any companies that would do that, quite often you can get a local hobby shop to do it, but that might not be an option for you

what kind of problems are you having?

bottom line

my biggest problems are the servos and the setup of my controller.i am using a hitec optic 6 and trying to accomplish a 90 degree setup with the servos.budget is super tight and the wife will probably kill me if i say i am spending another penny on this thing.please help with whatever you can.

Find a local club and ask for help to a fellow pilot. I am sure that if you arrive with your bird there somebody will be more than happy to help.

radio setup can be a bit tricky

quick search on your radio makes me believe it should work.

are you using the stock swash plate or the alum 120 degree one?

could you describe the things its doing so we can get a better idea of what is a going on?

Hi

Hitec optic 6 only support 120' eCCPM or Mechanical CCPM. Since the mechanical mixer of the eco8 is not really good you have 2 options;

1 - Buy a 120' aluminum swashplate
2- Change your transmitter for one that support 90' mixing

Good luck

looked at the manual, Kos is correct

if you're creative there are ways to convert the stock 90 swash to 120.

and I've heard of people running with the radio in 120 ccpm mode but using the 90 swash (not the mechanical mixing)

don't give up just yet

I use a hitec Eclipse Tx with my 90 degree CCPM Eco. the Ecipse also do not support 90 degree CCPM so you have to use the programmable mixes which is a 2 minutes process and everything works great.

try searching RCgroups in the electric heli forum, that's where I found the process (search for eclipse ccpm, or something like that).

if the optic is anything like the eclipse (and I suppose it is) than you should not have a problem.

good luck, Oded.

I do believe it is 17mm, at least that is number I see most quoted and what I have mine set at
