SmoothFlite Setup Hints
Elevons, Thrust Vectoring and Canards setup CONTINUED
If the ailerons are moving the wrong way go to the SmoothFlite sub trim page for the ailerons and
reverse their movement.
[Main Menu
Monitor
tap the input channel indicator assigned to the Aileron
Tap the
“
Assigned To Smart Bus Output
”
for Aileron page. You will be in the Sub Trim page for the assigned
Aileron where you can reverse the servo]. You may need to do this for both Aileron servo outputs.
Connect the thrust vectoring up down servos and if necessary reverse, sub trim and adjust endpoints as
necessary. The thrust vectoring servos should follow the movements of the elevons in up down and
movement.
Connect on Rudder servo. This will be our primary rudder. From the SmoothFlite Sub Trim Page, Sub
Trim, Revers and endpoint adjust the primary rudder servo.
Connect the second Rudder servo and repeat the process.
Connect the Rudder Thrust vectoring servos and sub trim as necessary. The Thrust vectoring should now
follow the elevon and rudder movements.
Finally connect the CANARD servos and as above Sub Trim, Reverse as necessary.
Hint: With Canards and thrust vectoring you can drastically reduce or increase the end points in the
SmoothFlite Sub Trim pages. This functionality is available for all 26 SmoothFlite servo outputs. For
first flights you might want to reduce Thrust vectoring and Canards a little. You will soon have a feel
for how the model reacts to these controls and can adjust them to you liking. It is all possible to
perform these functions in the SmoothFlite system and this is why it is much more than a simple
power expander.
Outcome
You will have set up one of the most complex RC controlled model available today with Elevons, Thrust
Vectoring, Dual Rudders and Canards all with SmoothFlite assisted stabilisation.
Hint: You can add a 5th servo output for SmoothFlite assisted ground steering.
