GV3(‘Comp’)
Spoiler compensation is used to counteract pitch changes as
spoiler/crow is applied. It can be fine tuned in flight using
the
throttle trim
.
Trim fully back = zero compensation
Trim forward = down compensation
First, set the limit of adjustment:
1.
Enable Landing mode.
2.
Open
GLOBALVARS
menu, highlight GV3/FM3
3.
Apply maximum spoiler
4.
Move
throttle trim
fully forward (max comp)
5.
Adjust GV3 to provide the max possible compensation.
6.
Move
throttle trim
to recommended setting for your
model. If not known, set trim fully back (zero comp).
During flight tests, adjust pitch trim as follows:
1.
Enter landing mode
2.
Apply
minimum
spoiler, adjust
elevator trim
.
3.
Apply
full
spoiler, adjust
throttle trim
.
Note:
After intial flight tests, you can fine-tune the response
by editing Curve 2 (‘SpComp’). Alter points 2-4 only.
Example
below shows compensation rising sharply on initial
application of crow, then tailing off towards the maximum
(as defined by the throttle trim setting).

Motor safety check
Before connecting up the motor, it’s a good idea to check that the motor channel is outputting the
expected values.
With the motor disconnected, open the
CHANNEL MONITOR
menu as follows:
Taranis: Home screen, then press {
PAGE
}x3
Horus: Home screen, press {
MDL
}x2
Practice arming, disarming and switching on the motor, while monitoring Channel 7. Check that motor-
off = -100, full power = +100.
Congratulations, you’ve finished setting up your model! Just one thing left….
