12.4 Further adjustments
If you have made up all the linkages exactly as described in the previous sections, no changes
to the mechanical arrangements will be necessary. The following adjustments can all be carried
out at the transmitter:
1. Servo direction
Set the „sense“ (direction of rotation) of all servos as stated in the instructions. Check the
direction of the speed controller in particular!
2. Dual Rates
You can set switchable travels for roll-axis, pitch-axis and tail rotor. As a starting point we
recommend 100% and 75% as the two settings.
3. Exponential
For the basic set-up you should leave all control systems set to „linear“.
4. Servo travel centre offset
Do not make any adjustments to this point. At a later stage you may wish to make minor
corrections here.
5. Adjusting servo travel
This is where you can adjust the maximum servo travel. Note that the travels should always
be the same on both sides of neutral, otherwise you will end up with unwanted differential
effects:
Fo
r the swashplate servos (collective pitch function) it is important to check that servo travels
are symmetrical, i.e. with the same values for both directions. The collective pitch function of
the swashplate servos should produce a range of blade pitch angles covering -5° to +13°,
also with symmetrical travels; you may find it necessary to remove the servo output arm,
move it round by one spline and fit the retaining screw again.
The mechanics should now be set up virtually perfectly. When the collective stick is at centre
(hover point), collective pitch should be about 5.5°, and the speed controller should be at the
half-way point between stop and full-throttle.
Note :
The collective pitch and power curves can be adjusted later to meet your exact personal
requirements. However, if you have already set differential travels in the basic set-up
procedure, as shown in diagram „B" above, any fine adjustments required subsequently will
be more difficult!
6. Collective pitch and power curves
These adjustments are of fundamental importance to the flight performance of any model
helicopter. The aim of the procedure is to maintain a constant rotor speed when the model is
climbing and descending, i.e. regardless of load. This then represents a stable basis for
further fine-tuning, e.g. of the torque compensation system etc. (see also „Collective pitch
and power curves“).
7. Static torque compensation
The tail rotor servo is coupled to the collective pitch function via a mixer in the transmitter in
order to compensate for torque changes when you operate the collective pitch control. On
most transmitters the mixer input can be set separately for climb and descent.
Recommended values for the basic settings are: climb: 35%, descent: 15%.
