As retarded as this may sound, I'm having some major issues with this Darn Hawk working correctly (or more aptly, the radio system). I'm using a DX7 on a 3-servo/90 degree setup.
What keeps happening is when I use ELEV function, only that servo moves(up/down on right stick) which is what's supposed to happen. However, when I move the stick side-to-side using the AILE function, both the aileron and pitch servo activate resulting in the swash plate going into a weird position (very wrong function).

Also, when I move the PIT function (up/down on the left stick), all three damn servos move (Extremely wrong function!!!). So WTF??? I've set up quite a few helis, but this is my first mCCPM and I know I have everything set correctly. All I can guess is that it's a radio mixing problem, or I'm too stupid to figure out how it's supposed to go. Why would the radio be mixing functions over channel 3 and 6 (and then later all 3)? I've tried 2 different TX's and RX's to rule out radio malfunction. I've tried all of the swash mix types. I've tried swapping servos to other channels. Every last little trick I had up my sleeve and not a dang difference:arggg: Any suggestions?

use the one servo option from the swash menu.

So I take it that means one servo at a time, no mixing involved? I never understood the one servo deal anyways. Thanks Wayne!

that's correct.
1 servo for pitch, 1 servo for aileron, and 1 servo for elevator.

Sweet! I'll have to get to it tomorrow. I'm hoping to have the whole thing ready to go for Sunday. Next I gotta figure out the buddy-box deal. Hopefully we'll have a good day and no crashes! Thanks again Wayne :noteworthy
