Guys,
I am a robbe man and feel fairly confident with a mechanical setup of any shape, form or fashion. I would like some advice on CCPM tweaking. I fly a 10X and initially a 120 or 140 degree mix gives you +60% on all three servos. To increase throw do you adjust the end points like in a mechanical system or do you increase the mix??? Also I assume when you adjust one you have to adjust the others or you will have a mess??? CCPM may me less linkage, but it is NOT less hassle and less complicated. Increasing the end points and increasing the mix give more throw, but which is the proper way to do things???

My recipe:

1. ALL servo wheels are set at dead 90 d. relative to the pushrod with servos at neutral. Use a GW tool. The standard is perfection here. Shoot for nothing less.

2. AIL, ELE, PIT ATV's set to 100%. Don't touch them. Ever.

3. All subtrims set to zero. Don't touch them. Ever.

4. Within reason, adjust for MAXIMUM total travel of ele, ail, and pit using the CCPM menu. Use AFR or D/R to reduce throws as needed in any flight conditions in which you need less. If the percentages within the CCPM menu get really high, consider a larger servo wheel.

5. Any detectable pit>cyclic interactions can be effectively zeroed out with simple linear pmixs of pit>ele or ail. You MIGHT need a curveable pmix if the interaction appears and then leaves across the total range of travel. Fastidious benchwork and high quality servos reduce interactions to little or none.

The additional work to set up a CCPM model correctly is justified by the superb performance seen at the flying field.

Thanks a lot Ben. I knew how to mix out unwanted interactions and etc. You filled in the blanks for me. I appreciate it.
