Swash AFR - Swash PITCH - Futaba 9CHS

[DebianDog]

I know when I am adjusting these I am altering the pitch and I just usually screw with it till I get what I want. I have read pages 84-86 of the manual a few times and I still do not understand EXACTLY what it is doing.

Anyone care to try and pound it in my brain? :hammer

Not exactly sure what your question is.
But in the SR 3 swash mode 120 deg eCCPM.
The three AFR functions are actually adjusting the travel limits of that function.
Aileron AFR controls the left/right cyclic
Elevator AFR controls the fore/aft cyclic
Pitch AFR controls the collective range of travel.

The reason it is called AFR in the SR-3 swash mode. When each function is adjusted, it also allows the adjustment for all three servos at the same time.

If you did the same adjustment in ATV menu, you would only be adjusting one channel at a time. I only use ATV when using eCCPM to adjust the travel of one servo and not a function.
If I need more pitch travel on eCCPM. I adjust the Pitch AFR in the swash menu.
Same with Aileron and Elevator.

Pitch AFR so the range of travel.

Well the problem I sometimes have is I get the bottom say -11 I will lose some top. I usually just set it to +10/-10 and be happy... Not sure what I am missing.

Ok lets say you have the pitch curve defaulted , 0 at point 1 and 100 at point 5 .
Now lets say the AFR for the pitch channel in the Swash menu (SR3) is 60%.
Now for example with those settings you have a pitch range of 24 degs, maybe
neg. 12 to pos 12. Now lets say that is too much pitch both top and bottom.
Lower the AFR pitch precentage in the swash menu (SR3) to 50%. Now the pitch would probably be around -10 to +10.

When running 0 degs on the blades at mid stick and what is referred to as a 3D type setup. The negative and positive pitch are equal degs. Then the pitch curve should be able to remain defaulted in the transmitter ( 0 to 100). And just use the AFR in the swash menu to control how much max travel is needed. That is if the mechanically setup is also correct. This is when the SR3 swash menu is activated for 120 deg eCCPM.

AHHH a little clearer now. Let me read it a few more times and mess with it on the radio... after I make a copy ;)
