Calibration procedure
Aileron offset
Next, CALibrate the aileron offset:
1.
Activate CAL mode
2.
Select
‘calibrate flap neutral’
submode.
3.
Page to
GLOBALVARS
menu.
4.
Go to cell GV5:Fof
→
FM0 (Note
FM0
, not FM1)
5.
Adjust offset so that ailerons follow the neutral profile
If ailerons are not in line, redo the calibration of the left aileron (see above),
paying attention to the points either side of the neutral position.
Check operation:
1.
Exit CAL mode
2.
Move the sticks, checking that aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces move in the correct sense.
Note that the throttle stick (for brakes) will not function yet
(it will be configured in the next section).
3.
The travel will be excessive
–
don’t worry, it’ll be dialled down in the next section.

ONFIGURING TRAVEL AND MIXERS
In the final section
, you’ll set the control
travel
(‘rates’) and
mixers. Watch your model come to life!
5.1
A
ILERON
,
ELEVATOR AND RUDDER TRAVEL
(I
NPUTS MENU
)
In this section, you’ll
reduce the rates of the main flight controls, to achieve the required travel.
1.
Activate Cruise mode
2.
Open the
INPUTS
menu
3.
Scroll down to [I]Ail, [I]Ele or [I]Rud as required
4.
Press {LONG ENTER} and choose Edit
5.
Go to the weight field
6.
Adjust weight for required travel.
7.
To add expo, go to the Curve field,
and change the curve type from ‘Diff’ to ‘Expo’. Set required value.
When adjusting aileron travel,
consider upward travel only
(downward travel will be adjusted when setting diff, in
the following section.)
5.2
A
ILERON DIFF
(
RUDDER TRIM
)
Aileron differential alters the downward travel of the ailerons in response to roll commands.
Diff is adjusted using the rudder trim. As the trim is moved from left to right, the amount of Diff
decreases
thus
increasing
the roll rate
–
think of the trim as a roll rate adjuster.
The range of diff adjustment can be changed (see section 7.9).
New in v2.1:
The default minimum diff has been changed to -30%, allowing down-travel to exceed up-travel as is
required for some DLG setups.
Diff settings are stored independently for each flight mode - make sure to set diff correctly for each flight mode.
