STEP 5: Control Test
Follow the diagrams on the opposite page to make sure the controls function per the
1.
illustrations.
STEP 6: Servo Reversing & Changing Servo Arm Positions
NOTE:
MOST TRANSMITTERS INCLUDE SERVO REVERSING SWITCHES. THESE ARE USUALLY LOCATED
ON THE FRONT OF THE TRANSMITTER OR IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OF YOUR TRANSMITTER
(PLEASE CONSULT YOUR MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL). IF YOUR CONTROLS WORK OPPOSITE THAN
THE ILLUSTRATIONS OR IF YOU PREFER OPPOSITE STICK CONTROL THAN WHAT IS ILLUSTRATED, YOU
MAY CHANGE THE SWITCH POSITIONS.
NOTE:
ON THE VECTOR POWER UNIT YOUR SERVOS COME FACTORY ADjUSTED TO THE CORRECT TRIM
POSITION. IF YOU NEED TO ADjUST THE TRIM POSITION OF EITHER THE UP-DOWN SERVO OR LEFT-
RIGHT SERVO THERE ARE TWO METHODS AVAILABLE.
ELECTRONIC METHOD
1.
– The electronic method is the easiest way to adjust the trim on the
servo. Most transmitters include trim adjustment controls located on either side of the
control sticks. You may read more about these adjustments in “STEP 11: TRIM ADjUSTMENTS”.
Some transmitters include programmable trim and servo adjustments. Please consult your
transmitter manual.
MECHANICAL METHOD
2.
– The mechanical method is done by unscrewing the servo arm release
screw, pulling off the servo arm and repositioning the servo arm to the desired spot. In
general, when the gimbal is in neutral position, the servo arm should be at about a 90° angle
to the servo (see diagram). Neutral position is defined when the gimbal is adjusted so the
motor axle runs parallel to the GEN II frame when looked at from both a top view and a side
view. Mechanical adjustments should only be made if large changes are needed in the servo
control arms.
