Since a few people are having some troubles or are confused about VPP setup, I decided to post my old VPP setup off of an axi 2208 34. Most of the setup applies to other motors, based on pitch extremeties, different pitch bar servo locations and such. Before you do any testing, make sure you really crank down any loose screws and test in a safe area. If you have another person around get them to hold the plane for you.
You'll need a few things
Computer radio- kinda a given 
(for the setup, I'm using a 9C regular)
Clear area with a bench or some place where you can hold the plane
and if your really picky, a pitch meter.
The swash plate type reccomended would be a type 1 setup, where no servo will affect the swash plate and pitch mechanism, basically servo mixing is nulled. Heres a quick shot of the 9C I'm using to set it up. For other things such as EXP and rates I'll leave that up to user preference.
