The layout of the Setup Overview tab is based on the Setup menu structure of AR7200BX/AR7300BX. This makes it easy to check and modify most parts of the setup.<br />

You can only change static parameters. It is not possible to adjust parts of the setup that require user feedback or feedback from your helicopter like "Rudder servo limit" or "Swashplate servo throw" adjustment.<br />

:If you are having a scale heli and need phasing for your rotor head you can normally start using a preset swash mixing type from the "Basic Settings" in the upper section:
 +
:* Mechanical
 +
:* 90°
 +
:* 120°
 +
:* 140°
 +
:* 140° (1=1)
 +
:Then only rotate the swash phasing as necessary. Note these presets have nothing to do with the predefined presets of the Swashplate mixing setup menu point. These are only presets for creating your custom swash mixing more easily as you don't have to enter angles and distances separately as it can by done in the section below! Also when rotating the swashphasing by the rotation box in reality this will change the swash angles as you can see in the fields below. So in fact there is no difference between the Basic Settings and the Expert Settings, both will change the same values. It's just a different style of setup.<br />

'''How to setup swash phasing'''<br />
 
As this is asked very often we will give a brief explanation here what you are intended to do when setting up of swash phasing is necessary for your scale helicopter. Please note that for setup you have to make sure that your helicopter control is basically working already, i.e. make sure that servo directions have been setup correctly at Setup menu point '''I''' and that you stick control on the radio are moving the swashplate into correct directions (forwards, backwards, left and right). For this you may choose one of the predefined Swashplate mixing types at Setup menu point H before which matches your swashplate mixing type best. Also you may go through Setup menu completely and also adjust the rest of the menu points but note that Setup menu points '''J''', '''K''' and '''L''' will have to be readjusted after setting the swashplate phasing!<br />

For a detailed explanation of the parameter adjustment please consult the AR7200BX/AR7300BX instruction manual that matches the firmware version of your device. If you hover the mouse cursor over the name of a parameter you will get a brief information what this parameter does. Also you can see which numbers are hidden behind specific designations (like "sport", "normal", "high", ...) when you keep the mouse cursor over these parameter points for a short moment. So you can find out which value you should start with when you want to create a custom preset.<br />

For a detailed explanation of Torque precompensation please consult the AR7200BX/AR7300BX instruction manual. The parameter "Asymmetry" intensifies the tail gain into torque direction. This can be used if the tail gyro system reacts differently depending on the direction the rudder is moved, i.e. when the tail does stop properly only from rotation into one direction but not from the other. Note the parameter "Direction" determines in which direction the tail gain will be intensified. So it is mandatory you setup the Torque precomensation and determine torque direction before using the "Asymmetry" parameter even if you don't want to use Torque precompensation (in this case simply set the cyclic and collective compensation to "0").<br />
