Channel
Calibration procedure
CH 1
–
Rudder
CALibrate the rudder
1.
Activate CAL mode
2.
Open the
OUTPUTS
menu
3.
Highlight the rudder channel (default CH1)
4.
Go to the
curve field ‘Rud’, press {long enter } to open curve editor
5.
With stick in centre, adjust point 2 so rudder is central
6.
Move Rudder stick right (
→
), then set point 3 for max right movement
7.
Move Rudder stick left (←), then set
point 1 for max left movement
8.
Check equal travel left/right, reduce one or other side if necessary.
CH 2
–
Elevator
CALibrate elevator.
IMPORTANT: in
CAL
mode, the elevator moves in the opposite direction to
normal.
1.
Activate CAL mode
2.
Open the
OUTPUTS
menu
3.
Highlight the Ele channel (default CH2)
4.
Go to the
curve field ‘Ele’, press {long enter } to open curve editor
5.
With Ele stick at centre, adjust point 2 so elevator is central
6.
Move Ele stick forward (↑), then adjust point 3 for
upper
limit
7.
Move Ele stick back (↓), then adjust point 1 for
lower
limit
8.
Check elevator travel is equal up & down, reduce one or other side as
necessary.
CH 3
–
Lt Ail
Calibrate the left aileron:
1.
Activate CAL mode, select
‘Calibration’
submode
2.
Go to
OUTPUTS
menu
3.
Highlight left aileron channel (default CH3)
4.
Go to the curve field
LtA
, and press {long enter} to open curve editor
5.
Throttle stick fully back (↓), adjust point 1 for
lower
end point.
6.
Throttle stick fully forward (↑), adjust point 3 for
upper
end point.
7.
Adjust point 2 so it lies on the
straight line
between points 1 and 3. Do not
worry that the point 2 does not correspond to the airfoil centre line
–
that
will be fixed later.
Move throttle stick from one end to the other, observing step intervals. If they
are grossly unequal, adjust point 2 to for better linearity.
CH 4
–
Rt Ail
Next, CALibrate the right aileron so it precisely matches the left aileron:
1.
Activate CAL mode, select
‘
Calibration
’ submode
2.
Return to
OUTPUTS
menu
3.
Highlight the right aileron channel (default CH4)
4.
Go to the curve field
RtA
, press {long enter}
to open curve editor
Adjust points 1
–
5 to exactly match the let aileron:
5.
Stick fully back, adjust point 1
6.
Stick ½-back, adjust point 2
7.
Stick to centre, adjust point 3
8.
Stick to ½-forward, adjust point 4
9.
Stick fully forward, adjust point 5
To match the end points on left and right sides, it may be necessary to reduce
one or other end points for the left aileron.
