CCPM by it's proper name Cyclic Collective Pitch Mixing offers a system of control to the swashplate that has been opened up by modern electronics in the transmitter we use.
With CCPM, pitch and cyclic mixing are handled by the transmitter while each of the three servos are linked directly to the swashplate eliminating the mechanical mixer and a whole lot of ball links and pushrods. This makes building and setting up a CCPM machine easier (in theory) since it uses fewer parts and needs fewer mechanical adjustments.
Because the servos are directly attached to the swashplate with short rigid links, CCPM offers a level of backlash-free precision that just can't be matched with other types of control systems. And because three servos work in unison to raise and lower the swashplate for pitch changes, three times the servo power is available in pitch while two times the servo power is available for cyclic inputs.
