REV — Servo Reversing 

The servo reverse function may be used when you need to change the direction that a 

servo responds to a control stick motion.  When you use this function, BE SURE THAT YOUR 

CONTROL IS MOVING THE CORRECT DIRECTION.  If you are using any preprogrammed 

mixers such as flaperon, be sure to set correct travels in the REV menu  setting up the 

preprogrammed function. 

Reversing Servos 

1.  Get to the 

REV 

screen with the up or down arrow keys. 

2. Use the 

CURSOR

 key to select the channel you wish to reverse.  The 

active channel number will flash. 

3.  Select normal (

N

) with the (+) key, or select reverse (

R

) with the (–) key.  

The arrow above the number indicates normal travel, while the arrow below indicates 

reversed travel (the figure shows all channels normal, none reversed). 

4.  Repeat this procedure for each channel needing to be reversed. 

STRM — Subtrim Settings 

The Subtrim window is used to make small adjustments or corrections in the neutral 

position of each servo.  The recommended procedure is to zero out both the trims (see 

TMEM 

menu) and the subtrims (this menu).  Next, mount the servo arms and set up your linkages so that 

the neutral position of each control surface is as close to where it should be as possible, with the 

arm 90° to the pushrod.  Finally, use a small amount of subtrim to make fine corrections.  We 

recommend that you try to keep all of the subtrim values of as small as possible.  Otherwise, 

when the subtrims are large values, the servo’s full range of travel may be restricted. 

Setting Subtrims 

1.  Use the up or down arrow keys to call up the 

STRM

 window. 

2.  Press the 

CURSOR

 key until the small arrow is underneath the channel 

you wish to adjust (the figure shows subtrim adjustment for CH1). 

3.  Adjust the neutral position using the (+) or (–) keys.  You may adust 

between -120% and +120%.  If you want to reset the value back to zero, press both the (+) and 

(–) keys simultaneously. 

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each channel to be adjusted in turn.
