Calibration procedure
Flap offset
Next, adjust the flap offset:
1.
Enter CAL mode, switch
SA
down.
2.
Open the
GLOBAL VARIABLES
menu.
3.
Go to FOf:FM0
4.
Adjust offset so that flaps follow airfoil profile
Check that the flaps are in line with each other. If not, then redo the
calibration of the right flap (see previous step), paying particular attention to
the two points either side of the neutral position.
V-Tail
CH 5 – RtVee
CH 6 – LtVee
Calibrate V-tail surfaces:
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH5:RtVee
3.
Skip to curve field ‘ERv’, press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
4.
With Ele stick at centre, adjust point 2 for correct neutral
5.
Ele stick forward (↑), set point 3 to
upper
limit
6.
Ele stick back (↓), set point 1 to
lower
limit. Allow for crow compensation.
7.
Repeat for CH6:LtVee, ensuring that movements match CH5:RtVee.
8.
Check equal travel up/down; check left and right surfaces match
X-Tail
CH 5 – Ele
X-tail version only -
Calibrate elevator
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH5
3.
Skip to curve field ‘ERv’, press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
4.
With Ele stick at centre, adjust point 2 for correct neutral
5.
Move Ele stick forward (↑), then adjust point 3 for
upper
limit
6.
Move Ele stick back (↓), then adjust point 1 for
lower
limit
7.
Check elevator travel is equal up & down
X-Tail
CH 6 – Rudder
X- tail version only
- Calibrate rudder
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH6
3.
Skip to curve field ‘RLv’, press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
4.
With stick in centre, adjust point 2 so rudder is central
5.
Move Rudder stick right (→), then set point 3 for max right movement
6.
Move Rudder stick left (←), then set point 1 for max left movement
7.
Check equal travel left/right
CH 1 – Rt Ail
CH 2 – Lt Ail
Finally, calibrate ailerons:
1.
Enter CAL mode
2.
Set switch
SA
to down position. The flaps will go to their calibrated
neutrals.
3.
In the
OUTPUTS
menu, highlight CH1:RtAil
4.
Skip to curve field RtA, then press
{long
ENTER
}
to open curve editor
5.
With Ail stick at centre, adjust point 2 for correct centre.
6.
Move aileron stick right (
), then set point 3 to desired upper limit. Allow
for both crow and aileron movement.
7.
Move aileron stick left (
), then set point 1 so that down-travel = up-
travel. If you cannot get sufficient down movement due to geometry, then
1.
Move
SA
up (↑) – this reduces aileron movement by 50%.
Note:
this
reduced rate applies
only in CAL mode
!
2.
Now try again: Move aileron stick left (
) and adjust point 1 so
down-travel = (reduced) up-travel. Full rate will be restored when you
exit CAL; don’t worry if down-travel is excessive – later adjustments in
the
INPUTS
menu, and to aileron diff, will reduce the movement.
8.
Repeat all steps for CH2:LtAil.
9.
Check: (a) equal up/down movement, (b) left and right ailerons match.
