For the initial setup of Phoenix, the instructions say to start with a 90 degree swash and swash mixing OFF. Is this setup only needed for initial calibration of the TX with the sim, or are these permanent restrictions? My apologies if this is another dumb question, but I'm still struggling with my TX setup working properly in Phoenix.
IF mixing has to stay permanently off, how do you work around it? By design, a CP helicopter requires it, so it seems like this is something Phoenix should be able to handle. But as soon as I use a setup that has swash mixing, the heli ends up uncontrollable, channels seem to be all crossed up, throttle doesn't go to zero or 100%, and as soon as I try to take off, it just spins like a top, with anything less than full throttle resulting in an instant crash. I'm using a T9x radio with OpenTX firmware, and the setup I'm trying to use is the heli template built into the firmware. This is making me a little crazy, so any help would be much appreciated!
On a possibly related note, does the program expect a particular channel order, if so, what is it, and is there a generally accepted standard for CP helis? I had it in my head that it was RETA, but it's starting to look like that only applies to fixed wing or 4 ch. helis. Later.
