What is a 140 deg Swash?

[zadaw]

The HH website lists the 130X as having a 140 deg swash. What is it? Is it a misprint?

I understand that the DX6i and DX7 has 120 deg swash setting only. Can you use this as it is?

That's when the aileron and pitch servo balls on the swash plate are at a 140* location from the elevator servo instead of only 120* away basically.

If the FBL system requires a 1-servo 90 degree setup in the transmitter, you'll be fine with either of those radios.

Correct and the FBL system indeed uses 1 servo 90 as the input. (does the mixing automatically inside the Rx as one might expect in this case)

Yes the radio is set up for 90' swash

FYI
The 140 degree swash allows the balls of the swash to the the same distance away from the main shaft when measured down the centreline of the heli, I guess this makes things easier as the servos then move at the same speed and distance when moving in response to elevator

This is the mcpx's swash

Surely the swash balls could also the the same distance from the centreline if all 3 of them were at 120 degrees. It is not the angle that makes the difference but the layout of the swash.
