Hi, I have a swift 16 and I have installed the electronics. All servo's move in the correct direction (left ,right,forward,back). My problem is collective, up is down , down is up. Where do I change this in the DX6I so UP=UP , DOWN=DOWN ? (they are reversed at this time).

Thanks again for the help :)

That's done in the SWASH menu. Reverse the pitch value.

Woot, Chris answered !!! Between you and Mr. BoB you pre-sold the Swift 16 to me for Century. Thanks to the awsome video's Mr.BoB has produced to the Video's of your progress with it, sold me. At this time Century has a great combo on the swift that fit into my budget. I have a Venture 30 from JR but with the present cost of fuel (28.00) and the advances of electrics in our hobby I wanted a heli the same size due to the stability of larger craft. So in short I'm a swift freak now !

Thanks for pointing me there Chris, I thought that's where it was but not sure and with new heli/radio I did not want to guess :).

All is well and tomorrow we take our maiden eggbeater flight in my back 40.

To all the guys and gals here, Thanks for all the help you give to all of us in the hobby, trust me it worth millions.

Thanks Chris I am looking for more video's of your flights so get busy :):banana

2 clicks right stick was all I had to do , blades were perfect track all else was right. I know all to well this is not the norm but after 8 hrs of build and 3 hrs of installing radio equipment and setting it up it was very welcome.

As of now 6 flights have been taken with the Swift with no problems at all. I was very impressed with this heli. To any one considering a Swift 16 it will not let you down. It feels very attached to the radio inputs. It's movements are predictable and crisp. A friend 3Ded her and she did not flinch doing exactly as flown.

I am very very happy with the heli.

Thanks again for the help.:banana :cheers

Glad to see you are loving your Swift 16 as much as everyone I know with one does. The more you fly it, the more you will love it I am sure.
