CSM cyclock

Yea, mine does that.

..but how do you see phasing when its on the bench?

[callum]

An easy way is by aligning the two ball links on your swashplate while holding the blades parallel to the boom. i would also tilt the swash forwards and backwards to make sure they keep in line

If there not "aligned" adjust the phasing option.

This isnt as easy to setup as id hoped!..

Phasing is affected by variable items such as blades.
if you adjust it perfect it will only be perfect for the blades you are using.
all helis should have a mecanical phase adjustment - but they don't.

Both my 600n have the anti-rotation post moved slightly to the left. The 600n needs a bit of right aileron to flip straight in my experience.
Phase errors are often confused by less than perfect gyro performance - and crappy pilots (particuarly in my case!)

If you need to add a phasing adjustment for a clockwise rotating head that doesn't have a phasing ring, you can do it with two mixes:

Mix 1
Left aileron (master) = Down Elevator (slave)
Right aileron (master) = Up Elevator (slave)

Mix 2
Up Elevator (master) = left aileron (slave)
Down Elevator (master) = right aileron (slave)

Between 5 and 10% usually does it on the Tx values, but it needs flight testing to get it right - assign the mixes to a switch so that you can turn it on and off during the flight.

But the above is WITHOUT a cyclock.

I guess with a cyclock on the bench, you need to set the values to give the above affect - an easy way to make sure everything is going the right way (i.e. positive or negative values) is to set the values to say 20% to really exaggerate the mix on the bench. When you're happy that the swash is tilting the right way, you can bring the values back to the more sensible figures that have been suggested already.

Test flew it today, and what a massive difference imo!

Thanks to Mike (Swashbuckler) for going over the setup again for me and altering a few things. The 600 now climbs straight, flips straight, and even rolls straight! The built in cyclic ring is top banana, so you are able to max out the throws without any binding in the corners.

Quality bit of kit and would definitely recommend one.

both my machines have cyclocks and love the things .. .can dial out interaction and also your getting full resolution so feels alot nicer as well .. dont need to use the phasing option in mine as my helis have phasing rings ...

[sacko]

I havent used the phasing/interaction bit yet, and dont think I will need to just yet.

Its a cool piece of kit and well worth the few ££ that they are.
