To change swash phasing for multiblade helicopters adjust the ''Virtual swash rotation'' (the phasing is set independent from the actual swash mixing type, so make sure the correct swash type was chosen before!). You can turn the swashplate internally by +- 179 degrees. To find out the exact value that is necessary for your helicopter align one rotorblade in parallel to the tail boom/longitudinal axis of the helicopter. Now when you move the elevator the rotorblade mustn't move at all. If it does, increase/decrease the phasing just until the blade is standing still. It must only react to roll or collective inputs similar as this would be the case with a two bladed rotorhead! The direction (sign) of phasing determines the control direction. If you have tuned the phasing into the wrong direction your control will be inverted, i.e. elevator will move the blades into the wrong direction when aligned 90 degrees to the boom.<br />

Virtual swash rotation
To change swash phasing for multiblade helicopters adjust the Virtual phasing (the phasing is set independent from the actual swash mixing type, so make sure the correct swash type was chosen before!). You can turn the swashplate internally by +- 179 degrees. To find out the exact value that is necessary for your helicopter align one rotorblade in parallel to the tail boom/longitudinal axis of the helicopter. Now when you move the elevator the rotorblade mustn't move at all. If it does, increase/decrease the phasing just until the blade is standing still. It must only react to roll or collective inputs similar as this would be the case with a two bladed rotorhead! The direction (sign) of phasing determines the control direction. If you have tuned the phasing into the wrong direction your control will be inverted, i.e. elevator will move the blades into the wrong direction when aligned 90 degrees to the boom.
