First thing to do when setting up any plane is to set up transmitter to output 1000-2000 us pulses, with 1500 us at the mid-position. Then set all the servos to their respective mid-positions. The servo horn should then be perpendicular to the housing (within 1 tooth snap of the horn), except for the servos for the flaps, if applicable. Those last ones will generally be at the flaps up position. The left servo horn could maybe be turned clockwise by one click This ensures equal control surface deflections in either direction when anything else than mid-range is output, and symmetrical deflections of the control horns, and therewith control surfaces, w.r.t. the mid position. Aileron pushrod Flaps servo The next thing is to align control surfaces by adjusting push rod length. For the flaps, the adjustment should be done in the flaps up position, ensuring that the servo does not make a buzzing sound, while the flap surface is as good as possible in lin...
This blog is all about my flying adventures with unmanned vehicles like drones, and model airplanes. Initial focus will be on my self-built drone project. As time progresses, I'll fly different drones and airplanes, undoubtedly, because this is such an addictive hobby!
