Calibration procedure
V-Tail
CH 5
–
RtVee
CH6
–
LtVee
(V-tail version only)
Calibrate V-tail
Enter CAL mode
In the
OUTPUT
menu, highlight
CH5
Skip to curve field ‘
CV15’
, press
[long ENTER]
to open curve editor
o
Ele stick to
centre
, adjust
point 2
for correct neutral
o
Ele stick forward (↑), set
point 3
to upper limit
o
Ele stick back (↓), set
point 1
to lower limit. Allow for spoiler comp.
Repeat for
CH6
and
CV16
, ensuring that movements match CH5.
Check equal travel up/down; left and right surfaces match
X-Tail
CH 5
–
Ele
(X-tail version only)
Calibrate elevator
Enter CAL mode
In the
OUTPUT
menu, highlight
CH5
Skip to curve field ‘
CV15’
, press
[long ENTER]
to open curve editor
o
Ele stick to
centre
, adjust
point 2
for correct neutral
o
Ele stick forward (↑), adjust
point 3
to upper limit
o
Ele stick back (↓), adjust
point 1
for to lower limit
Check travel is equal up & down
X-Tail
CH 6
–
Rudder
(X- tail version only)
Calibrate rudder
Check you’re still in CAL mode
In the
OUTPUT
menu, highlight
CH6
Skip to curve field ‘
CV16’
, press
[long ENTER]
to open curve editor
o
Rudder stick to
centre
, adjust
point 2
for centred rudder
o
Rudder right (→), set
point 3
for max right movement
o
Rudder left (←), set
point 1
for max left movement
Check equal travel left/right
CH 1
–
Rt Ail
CH 2
–
Lt Ail
Finally, calibrate ailerons:
Enter CAL mode
Set switch SA to
down
position. The flaps will go to their calibrated neutrals.
In the
OUTPUT
menu, highlight
CH1(RtAil)
Skip to curve field ‘
CV11
’, then press
[long ENTER]
to open curve editor
o
Move aileron stick to
centre
. Set
Point 2
for correct centre
o
Move aileron stick right (
). Set
point 3
to desired upper limit,
allowing for both crow and aileron movement.
o
Move aileron stick left (
). Attempt to adjust
point 1
so that
down-travel = up-travel. If the down-travel is restricted by the
hinge geometry, then move SA to
up
position – this reduces
aileron movement in CAL mode by 50%. Now, try again: adjust
point 1 so down-travel = (reduced) up-travel. When you exit CAL
mode, full rate will be restored; don’t worry if down-travel is
excessive – later adjustments to input and diff will reduce it.
Repeat all steps above for CH2/CV12. Ensure that movements match CH1.
Check: constant rate up/down for each aileron, and check left and right
ailerons match.
Finally, exit CAL mode. Move the sticks, checking that aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces move in the
correct direction.
Note:
flaps cannot be checked yet.
Well done, the calibration is now complete!
