Ok, when setting up from servos up,I know to center throttle stik.I center all trims.But do I center throttle trim ? And am I supposed to be in idle up ? Then I put servo horns on as close to level as they'll go ?Then level swashplate w/tool. Question: Should I be in idle up mode when doing all of this even though I can't fly 3D right now ? I've watched the video on setting here on helifreak on setting up CCPM . I'm grasping it a little at a time. I've got my blade set just like in video. Everything is set level, but the servos buzz just a little at full negative.Everything has been set up like this with sticks centered, trims centered,throttle trim all way down. (is this right ?) And in idle up mode. Please help know one else to ask. If anybody out there can help me. Man I'd appreciate it very much.:Slap

Hello Jupiter, I live in N.C. myself. When I set up my CP I used the Finless vids and they worked very well. I did it in normal mode with throttle trim all the way down and throttle at midstick. It sounds like you might have a servo binding. Give it a second and see if the noise goes away. After I adjusted servo horns to 90 degrees I move the throttle up and down while I moved the right hand stick all directions to make sure my servos were not binding. I would like to help more but I do not want to give bad info. Sorry.

Thanks Flyemhigh, I've done mine in idle up mode,all sticks & trims centered, throttle trim down. Well, I guess I did it wrong. I'll redo it again tommorrow night in normal mode. But when I did like you said the servo did stop buzzing.Thanks so much for taking time to help me. Up here in the MTNs. of NC. Theres no one to ask abouts helis

Glad to help Jupiter and good luck. You sure live in a beautiful part of the country. I go to Boone about every other year.

do it with throttle trim centered. disconnect motor or turn throttle hold on so it doesn't spool up. then make everything 90 and make sure the blades have zero pitch when everything is centered.
