Default Swash adjustment on RD8000

Hi Gents & Ladies (I'm sure there are some lady flyers on here)

I have a Swift which I am trying to setup using an Airtronics/Samwa RD8000.
Starting in the mid throttle position I am only getting +/- 14 total swash movment. I need +/- 22 but cannot see in any of the instructions how to push the swash mix up to say 65%.

I need an expert on the RD8000 as I am sure there must be some way round this.

Thanks in advance.

Select the Ail channel and bump the endpoints all the way up. There are endpoints in each direction and you will need to do this in the ELE channel as well.

You might also have to increase your pitch high end point.
But be careful of binding the wash out base on the roror head.
Also you may have to increase your low pitch end point. Here again
check that you leave enough room for elevator and aileron movement.
I'm utilizing an Aritronics RD8000 on my Trex 450 SE and Raptor 90.
I also have an RD6000. They are pretty good radios and I use them on
all my airplanes ( from 40 size up to 40 percenters )
