SETUP INFORMATION
Please note:
This manual describes the transmitter CCPM settings to be used in conjunction with the JR NEX6-550 and TAGS MINI, as
well as initial setup information for the TAGS MINI.
Other helicopter settings or adjustments are not described in this manual.
In this manual we describe settings specifically for the JR XG8. If you are using a different make or model of radio, please
refer to your radio instruction manual in combination with this manual.
Do not turn on the helicopter until these radio settings are completed. Even then, ensure the motor is unplugged from the
ESC when completing the radio and TAGS MINI setup.
JR-CCPM plays a critical role in coordinating the simultaneous activating of multiple servos to control the swashplate.
Activation of just a single servo would not lead to control of the swashplate - the three swashplate servos must be
controlled in a coordinated fashion. The setup of these servos differs from that for other control functions which control
just one servo (for example, the Rudder). The JR TAGS MINI flybarless gyro unit then acts to further stabilize the
helicopter.
The initial settings given here must be confirmed on the bench, and then fine tuned after test flying the helicopter. Prior to
commencing this process, confirm all the trim levers and trim knobs on the transmitter are in their neutral (zero) positions.
Also shift all switches to position ' 0 ' (switches moved away from the operator).
※ Some steps in the setup will require the ESC plugged into the flight battery. For your own safety, move the motor/pinion
away from the main gear to prevent the main rotor blades turning.

Confirm connections between the servos, TAGS MINI, and the receiver as shown in the figure below.
The color coding of various wire leads in the diagram is simply to allow easy identification of the leads.

Servo neutral adjustment
If you have purchased the combo kit with the JR TAGS MINI, it is already calibrated.
You only need to adjust the servo neutrals.

E6 550. Servo position A is called Elevator (ELEV), position B is called Aileron
(AILE), position C is called Pitch (PIT.).

Start with all the control lever L/R only
temporarily tightened so they are free to move.
※ Loosen these
socket head bolts.
① Either disconnect the motor wires or move the pinion away from the main
gear before making any adjustments. Turn the transmitter on first, then
turn on the receiver (helicopter).
② Confirm the transmitter sticks and trims are in the neutral position. If your
transmitter has pitch trim levers, set these to neutral as well.
③ Press and hold (approx 2 seconds) the S (set) button until the LEDs light
in a circular pattern. Release the S (set) button, and the "GAIN" LED will
remain lit.

④ Enter the [SWASH MIX] screen on your radio and set the [PIT.] mix to 0% to
fix 3 swash servos at neutral.

Mount the gyro as shown.
If you mount it in a different directions, you need to go
through the calibration mode.

⑤ Insert the alignment pins through the control lever L/R and the main frame.
⑥ With the radio system turned on and set as below, level the control levers L/R as shown in the
following figure and tighten the temporarily tightened bolts firmly, then remove the alignment pins.
⑦ The Swashplate should be horizontal if the Linkage rod lengths are as specified. If the Swashplate is
not horizontal, adjust the Linkage rod length.

Note that the Swash mix has been set to 0% so
there will be no movement of the swash by moving
the pitch stick on transmitter.
Put your pitch
gauge here for
zeroing.
* Zero the pitch gauge on the main frame or tail boom
as shown in the figure. Do not move the helicopter
after the gauge is zeroed. Now you can accurately
measure main blade pitch.
* Always measure the blade pitch with the pitch gauge
in the same orientation as when it was zeroed.
Referring to the figure, if the pitch gauge is zeroed
with the numerical display facing to the left side of
the helicopter, you can only measure the blade pitch
with the numerical display in this same orientation.
Once the gauge is zeroed as above, you cannot use
the gauge with the display facing forward, backward,
or to the right side of the helicopter.

⑨ Rudder adjustment
Confirm the tail control rod is positioned at 90 degrees. If it is not, adjust the length of the tail control rod and
the servo horn angle.

⑩ Turn off power to the receiver (helicopter).
⑪ Display [SWASH MIX] on your radio and turn the [PIT.] number to -50%.
⑫ Operation confirmation
Power up the receiver and confirm the gyro initialization.
Tilt the helicopter to see if each servo moves in the correct direction.
If the gyro response is incorrect, refer to the TAGS MINI manual and confirm your settings.
Initialization　When you power up the receiver, the swashplate will move slowly up and down then rudder
servo moves fast.
This is how it is initialized.
⑬ Confirm stick operation.
This completes gyro setup.
Turn off the receiver (helicopter).
⑭ Refer to the radio data sheet and input each or the numbers.
