Calibration procedure
X-Tail
CH 5 – Ele
X-tail version only -
Calibrate elevator
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH5
3.
Skip to curve field ‘CV15’, press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
4.
Ele stick to centre, adjust point 2 for correct neutral
5.
Ele stick forward (↑), adjust point 3 to upper limit
6.
Ele stick back (↓), adjust point 1 for to lower limit
7.
Check travel is equal up & down
X-Tail
CH 6 – Rudder
X- tail version only
- Calibrate rudder
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH6
3.
Skip to curve field ‘CV16’, press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
4.
Rudder stick to centre, adjust point 2 for centred rudder
5.
Rudder right (→), set point 3 for max right movement
6.
Rudder left (←), set point 1 for max left movement
7.
Check equal travel left/right
CH 1 – Rt Ail
CH 2 – Lt Ail
Finally, calibrate ailerons:
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
Set switch
SA
to down position. The flaps will go to their calibrated
neutrals.
3.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH1(RtAil)
4.
Skip to curve field CV11, then press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
5.
Move aileron stick to centre. Set Point 2 for correct centre.
6.
Move aileron stick right (
). Set point 3 to desired upper limit, allowing
for both crow and aileron movement.
7.
Move aileron stick left (
). Adjust point 1 so that down-travel = up-travel.
If you can’t get enough down movement due to geometry, then
1.
Move
SA
up (↑) – this reduces aileron movement by 50%.
Note:
this
reduced rate applies
only in CAL mode
!
2.
Now try again: Move aileron stick left (
) and adjust point 1 so
down-travel = (reduced) up-travel. Full rate will be restored when you
exit CAL; don’t worry if down-travel is excessive – later adjustments
to input and diff will reduce it.
8.
Repeat all steps for CH2/CV12. Ensure that movements match CH1.
9.
Check: (a) same up/down rate per aileron, and (b) left and right ailerons
match.
Exit CAL.
Move the sticks, checking that aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces move in the correct
direction.
Note:
flaps cannot be checked yet.
Well done, the calibration is now complete!
