<translate>
'''Spirit W1''' has support for 4x swashplate, 1x tail and 1x throttle servos.


It has also 2x independent telemetry ports which mean you can attach directly two WAVE sensors.
Moreover you can optionally connect a backup receiver.


Additionally you can utilize ESC telemetry.</translate>

Servo Wiring</translate> ==

<translate>
According following diagrams you can connect servos to the Spirit W1.
If some of your servos are not 1520μs center pulse, please connect the servo later during Setup Wizard process.</translate>

<translate>
* '''CH1''' and '''CH3''' - Aileron/Pitch servo
* '''CH2''' - Elevator Servo
* '''CH4''' - Tail Servo</translate>
<p></p>
<translate>
* '''CH0''' - Optional 2nd Elevator Servo</translate>

<translate>
Depending on your model and selected Swashplate Type servos are wired differently.
Wiring is described in the following sections and also in the Setup Wizard.</translate>

=== <translate>
Elevator at the front</translate> ===

<translate>
Elevator has servo control push rod at the front part of the model - swashplate push rod at the front.</translate>

[[File:Swashplate-rev.png]]

<translate>
* '''CH1''' - connected to the right servo (Pitch)
* '''CH3''' - connected to the left servo (Aileron)</translate>

=== <translate>
Elevator at the rear</translate> ===

<translate>
Elevator has servo control push rod at the rear - swashplate push rod at the rear.</translate>

<translate>
* '''CH1''' - connected to the left servo (Aileron)
* '''CH3''' - connected to the right servo (Pitch)</translate>

== <translate>
Power Supply</translate> ==

<translate>
Power Supply is critical part of the model. For this reason it is highly recommended to use suitable BEC or battery that can handle used servos.
Once wiring and setup is completed it is highly advised to perform the '''BEC test'''. If the test will not pass it is clear the power supply is inadequate and failure will occur.</translate>

<translate>
BEC, Battery or Backup power supply should be connected always at '''THR''', '''E1''' and '''AUX''' ports.</translate>

<translate>
* '''THR''' - used for Throttle output and primary ESC/BEC cable for electric helicopters. For a combustion helicopters THR port is used for Throttle Servo.
* '''T1''' - used for Secondary BEC cable for electric helicopters (recommended for class 500+). For a combustion helicopters T1 port is used for a Battery lead.
* '''AUX''' - used for Optional Power Guard system or an additional battery lead. Can output also channel data for controlling a landing gear, lights, etc.</translate>
