On Ailerons and Elevators, UP and DOWN travel should be entered, always in positive
numbers, if travel is symmetrical, enter same number in both boxes. Rudder and Flaps need
only one value to be entered.
Once values are entered it is possible to change between Degrees
and mm, the system will automatically display the calculated
Degrees value for data entered in mm and vice versa.
Please check the “Setup the model” section for a description of how
the data is entered. Don’t forget to click on “Save” before exiting
this window.
Measuring
Click on “Angle” button on the main screen to go to Measures
Screen. Besides the graphics described above, there are two
buttons:
The left side one (“Ailerons” on
picture 16
) allows to select
the surface to be measured. The BLUE lines on the graphic
(
Picture 15
) will be drawn accordingly to
the data entered for this particular surface
and the color of the position line will
change accordingly its position, turning to
GREEN in color when in correct position at full deflection.
The Side Buttons allow selecting the reference for the measurements.
Five options are offered (
Picture 17
):
1)
Ground Absolute
: The 3 sensors work independently, and
the zero is absolute, factory calibrated, like a bubble level,
zero degrees will be displayed when the sensor is
absolutely parallel to ground.
2)
Ground Relative
: The 3 sensors work independently, but
the zero can be reset. Click on the “Set Zero” button to set
all 3 sensors to read zero, whatever position they are in.
Use this setting when adjusting the surfaces and need 3 measurements at a time, like
adjusting Flaps/Elevator mix.
3)
Reference Sensor Absolute
: The readings of sensors left and right show its angular
difference against the reference sensor (the one connected to “NOSE” input). Useful
when you need to compare the incidence of a surface compared to a reference line on the
fuselage.
4)
Reference Sensor Relative Horizontal
: Same as above, but with the possibility to zero the
readings on a given position.
