Tips Wiki Rx Pin Assignments

From Heli-Wiki

Receiver

channel 1 is the rear right servo looking at it from the rear

channel 2 is the front servo

channel 3 is the throttle

channel 4 is the rudder

channel 5 is the remote gyro gain

channel 6 is the rear left servo

conductors

black is ground

red is positive

orange is signal

The orange signal wire faces towards the numbers on the receiver and the front. The black ground faces towards the back short part of the Rx.

To make sure that the servo's are in the right way, unplug the main and the tail motor from the 3 or 4 in 1 and hook up the battery and arm the heli. On the right stick when you press it towards the top of the transmitter the front part of the swash plate should go down. When you press the stick to the left, the left side should go down, and also when you press the stick right, the right side should go down. All directions are when viewing the heli from the tail-in position. When you push down on the stick, the back two servo's should go down. When in normal mode when you throttle up the whole swash plate should go down if you have the stock head (some heads are actually the other way so that the swash goes up when the pitch increases, like a real heli). Also see the manual starting on page 9 for the CP and page 14 on the CP Pro

ESC's and Motors

The tail motor is the top connector on the left side of the heli, and the red wire is on top of the black wire.

The main motor connected to the bottom, and the black wire is on top of the red wire.

Basically the two red wires face out, and the two black wires face in.

When you are done make sure that the main motor spins clockwise when looking at it from the top, that the tail motor spins up over the top towards the back, and returns towards the front on the down side when looking at it from the back. Another way to view that is spinning counter clockwise when looking at the heli from the right side. The air flow should go from the left to the right when looking at the heli tail in. When the motor speeds up, it should push the tail to the left and the nose to the right, and obviously for the main motor, it should be pushing the air down in normal mode =)
