disconnect the throttle to ESC so it won't start accidentally, and run it on an rx battery for setting up.
set swash to HR3
Set pitch curve to linear 0-100%.
set ch 1,2 and 6 to 100% end points and no sub trim.
Centre sticks (inc throttle).
At this point the three swash servos 1,2 and 6 should have the arms exactly horizontal. choose servo arms appropriately. all 3servos must be same and all 3arms must be same length.

Move the throttle stick up and all three swash servos move the same and move the swash up. if not you can reverse ch 1,2 and 6 or whichever of them need reversing.

return throttle to centre.

Move aireron. two servos will move. should be the two side ones. IF not swap plugs in the rx so they are.

check swash tilts down to right with right stick. If not swap the two side servos in the rx (ch 1 and 6)

Now the swash should tilt and move correctly. check the centre ball doesn't go up or down on the shaft with elevator - if it does you have maybe h3 instead of hr3 on the tx. If the elevator moves the wrong way then you need to set a negative percentage for 2 in the swash menu.

now you can adjust throws for collective and cyclic using the swash settings 1,2, and 6 which in the swash menu do not refer to the channel numbers on the rx but the combined servo movements for aileron, elevator and collective. Yuo want +/-10degrees of collective and as much cyclic as poss without binding (maybe a little binding with stick in corner).

Now check for ccpm interaction by moving the collective full up and full down and checking there is no aileron and no elevator resulting. Best explained by finless video but you correct any slight errors with the end points of ch 1,2 and 6 - effecting the end points but leaving the centre the same - but if the servo arms are right it should not need much correction.

Now you can set the pitch range you actually want to use on the pitch curve - 0 will be -10 degrees, 50 zero degrees and 100 10 degrees. Of course I assumed you set everything on the head so that with the servo arms horizontal you have zero pitch on the bladdes and paddles and the mix arms horizontal.

On the cyclic leave it with all the travel and calm it with expo - start with 20-25 percent. The expo is set on aileron and elevator in the normal way on the screen with the rates (7CAP).

Never seen the dragonus but the servo positions are like the x400/trex and the ccpm works the same.

Finless is THE MAN for all this sort of stuff!

Hi Thanks for your help got to fly it yesterday and what a heli! For a micro its superb. I think it believes its a Knight 3 D superb very stable yet very agile and at the same time forgiving well happy. Had a couple of issue's with it but luckily came with a few parts lol. Sad thing is i have ordered a load of bits "WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT! LOST IN TRANSIT"
