response direction when commanded by the
retract switch, using the same approach.

you'll now set the left aileron servo direction
(otherwise skip this and the next step). This is

hand stick to the right, the aileron on the left
wing should move downwards. Check that
the left aileron moves the correct way! If it
does not, activate the opposite direction for
the aileron servo by pressing the
keys. Move the right-hand stick again and
verify the left aileron moves the proper

12. Now we will set the servo neutrals.
Center all the trims – you can tell when each
is centered because you'll feel a small
indentation at the center.
centered all the trims, unscrew the screws
holding the servo arms onto the elevator,
aileron, and rudder (we'll set the throttle
travel later). You will want to place the servo
arms on the output shaft so they are near
neutral — that is, about 90° to the servo case
sides or, if the servo is mounted sideways, 90°
to the pushrod (sideways mounting is not
recommended). This way you won't run out
of subtrim authority. Remove all the arms
that are in the way or interfere with your
pushrods.
Adjust the clevises on each servo pushrod to
get the position of each control to be as close
as you can to neutral (lined up with the
adjacent portion of wing or tail).

electronically set the desired neutral locations.
To do so, get to the
