I looked it up in the manual for the 9C and what matches the T-Rex is the SR-3 or the SR-3s. Now i cant seem to tell the difference.

OH and another thing.. why is the TX trying to control the Aileron with the pitch and throttle with the SR-3 and SR_#s setting.???
like when i go into the servo at a glance it showing the aileron moving with the pitch and throttle..so when i spin up in the Sim and take off, it heads a hard left..
Is this Normal??? My default setting was HELISWH1 which i never had any problems with on the sim...
Just want to get this figured out before i put the bird in the air..

Thanks ---Snowman---

Trex and sim are 2 different things, the sim doesnt know anything about ccpm, SR3 is correct for the Trex.

CCPM uses 3 servos to move in unison (collective pitch) or opposition (cyclic pitch inputs) to control the swash. If I recall not all Trex models are CCPM but I dont know enough to say which is which other than the SE which I owned and thats ccpm and sr3

Snowman, I have a similar problem, see my post above. I have sent an email to Futaba so i just have to wait and see what their response will be.

Most Sims DO NOT understand CCPM. Thats why the sim flips the heli over hard. It see's the other signals & trys to follow the commands, but the sim thinks you have a standard swash, where only ONE servo controls AIL, One servo moves for ELE, and ONE servo moves for pitch. Try switching over to HELISWH1. You'll find that the heli will fly as expected. On My 12Z I had to copy my model over to another model slot & set the SWASH to SWH1 for use with REFLEX & PHOENIX both. Though I saw somewhere a page describing how to setup a radio for ccpm in PHOENIX.
