Control Horn And Servo Arm Settings; Control Surface Centering - Horizon Hobby E-flite A-10 Thunderbolt II 64mm Twin EDF Manuel D'utilisation

Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings

The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo
arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes.
NOTICE: If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR636
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR636 manual
for adjustment of gain values.
After fl ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired
control response. See the table to the right.

Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, confi rm that the control surfaces are
centered.
NOTICE: The model must be powered up and bound to the transmitter in
AS3X mode, with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active
at power up. AS3X mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25%
for the fi rst time after being powered on.
It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft movement if the
aircraft is in AS3X or SAFE modes.
1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero
2. Power up the model in AS3X mode and leave the throttle at zero
NOTICE: Be aware of the pushrod bottoming out in the ball linkage. Do not
thread the pushrod too far into the ball link or the pushrod will damage the ball
link and protrude into the area needed for the control ball.
3. Center the rudders in line with the vertical stabilizers. If adjustment is
required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length between the
servo arm and the control horn until the rudders are straight.
4. Center the ailerons by aligning the outboard end of the aileron with the
trailing edge of the wing tip. Adjust the linkage length as in step 3 as
necessary.
5. Center the elevators with the horizontal stabilizer. Ensuring that each
elevator is aligned with one another. Adjust the linkage length as in step 3 as
necessary.
