reading the instruction manual for a futaba f7c. in the instructions stands that i should choice swash type "HR-3" for my caliber 5. but isīnt that a CCPM mix? and my caliber 5 is a MMS? shouldnt the swash type be "H-1"?

Don't know about the Caliber 5. But the other 30 size helis Kyosho has put out lately have included both types of linkage for eCCPM and mechanical mixing.
The Caliber 90 series is 120 deg eCCPM.
The Caliber 5 can either be set up for 120 deg eCCPM which it comes stock with. Or you can do the optional mechanical mixing. For mechanical mixing, you need to set the swash menu for H1 or S1 I believe. This would be 90 deg mechanical mixing setup.

Its the other way around David;-) You get mechanical mixing as a standard, and you can upgrade to electronic mixing.
On your 7c you need the program H1.

Just make sure, you get your servos to settle down no buzzing on the servos when you return to center.
Personally I strongly recommend that you get the EMS upgrade on their it will be much quicker to setup.
I believe the part number is CA5430....
