I just bought a new built, never flown or setup Trex FBL 450 3GX from someone on the forums. I'm trying to get it setup, and flying, and don't know what the steps are. The person I bought it from said that I use "single servo normal swash" (which of course my DX8 doesn't have listed in the swash programs.) Any idea how to set that up in my DX8? Then what is the next step? The manual isn't much help. Thx

From DX8 book:
Use the Swash Type screen to program the swashplate mix to match your
helicopter swashplate type. Six swashplate types are available: Normal, 3-servo
120 CCPM, 3-servo 140 CCPM, 3-servo 90 CCPM, 3-servo 135 CCPM, and
2-servo 180 CCPM.

Select 'Normal' which is single servo

Thanks highlightshadow. Got that done, but my servos still don't move. It's a 3GX, any ideas????

Just a thought, are you using a spectrum receiver with the DX8 and if so did you bind it?
