I could not find anything in a search about Tx settings when setting up a 3g. I have a eRaptor 550 that I am converting to FBL with a Align 3g V2. The Raptor has the factory 90 degree swash . What do I set in the DX8 any differently than how it was flying with a flybar ?

Same as with the flybar setup. The mixing is performed in the TX unlike BX, Vbar and skookum

I've got another question for the experts. I set this up on my eRaptor 550 and everything checks out ok with the tx sticks and the 3G corrects the swash in the proper direction when I tilt the heli foward/backward. When I tilt side to side however,the swash corrects the proper direction but only the rightside servo moves. When I give a airelon command via the tx the left and right servo move in combination . I have the swash setup as 90 degree 3 servo just as it flew before the 3G installation . All the other checks seem to be just fine including tail operation etc . I put some wood blades on and was going to test then I thought better of it . Something I overlooked ?

Don't fly it until the problem is corrected. Did both servos move / ai land pit- during setup when checking compensation?

No , only the one servo moves when setting up also .

Didn't even move with the sticks during setup? Did you try to swaping connectors, Are you sure you have 90deg, THREE servo pitcked in TX setup?

Yes to all . Tried everything I could think of today but I have come to the conclusion that the unit is defective even though the seller said it flew fine
