Swash Mixing Limits

[vinljp]

Currently my setup is 63/60/43 (Aileron/Elevator/Pitch) in my Tx.

However I notice that there is some binding on my rotor when I am at this combination
Full Pitch (11 degrees) + Full Elevator + Full Aileron

I am not too sure whether will one acually come to this flying manouvere but there will definitely be binding in the rotor.

Is this normal? Or should I reduce the throw on my pitch and elevator to prevent binding?

What heli are you flying ?

[whiteshark]

He flew Beam as you can see in his siganture

What heli are you flying ?

y different mix for the sw???
i tot all mix should be the same
such as 50/50/50

if mode 2.. use a cyclic ring

Check your swash plate as well to make sure that there's no binding at all directions and tilt.

Bob's video build thread starts with 50/50/50 but later moved on to do adjustment to ensure no binding in cyclics and allowing sufficient servo throw for the servo to attain 11 and -11 pitch. That explains why these numbers are not 50/50/50.

No binding in all directions independently is achieveable but when comes to max pitch + max cyclic (both aileron & elevator) some binding will occur.
Does it mean that the swash mixing should be constraint to prevent binding at this extreme condition?

However if I constraint them, then my heli will not be as responsive (bigger loops, bigger rolls etc...). If otherwise, binding or boom strike might occur. But on the other hand, just wondering will anyone go o such extreme manouvere as stated

Mine is mode 1, what's a cyclic ring?

[johndyl]

search for it.. it is in this forum

if mode 1, .. i wonder if u can use 2..? 1 on each stick

Hmm....I no expert in this....but I was thinking off my head that won't it restrict the rudder movement if the ring is on the left stick in mode 1?

oh ya on the top and bottom ends it would............. cant me done for mode 1 then.. only for modes 2 or 3
