Trim Step (Control Surface Trim Step Resolution) - AIRTRONICS SD-10G Operating Manual

glid Flight Mode menu
IMPORTANT When the Flight Mode is set to Separate, Trim percentage values are stored in the specific Flight Mode you're
using when you change the Trim percentage values, whether with the trim switches or with the YES/+ and NO/- keys within the
Trim menu. For example, you could have 10% elevator trim in Flight Mode N (Normal) and 5% elevator trim in Flight Mode 1.
Be cautious of this when switching between Flight Modes during flight.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight TRIM, then press the
ENTER key to display the TRIM menu. The cursor will default to
COMMON>COM.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to choose either COM or SEP. If set to
COM, skip to the Changing the Trim Percentage Values section. If
set to SEP, see step 3 below.
3) Press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like to program the Trim function for. Choose from N, 1, 2,
3, or 4. The NORMAL (N) display will change, indicating which Flight Mode you are programming the Trim function for.
Changing the Trim Percentage Values
The current Trim percentage values for each of the flight control surfaces is displayed. The Trim percentage values can be
changed, if desired, using either the trim switches or the YES/+ and NO/- keys (from within the Trim menu only).
The Trim percentage values are displayed as a percentage of total trim. They are not displayed as a percentage of
servo travel.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 3456 to highlight the channel you would
like to change the Trim percentage value for, then press the YES/+ or
NO/- keys to change the Trim percentage value.
TRIM setting range is -150% to 150%. The default setting is 0%.
Press the YES/+ and NO/- keys at the same time to set the Trim
percentage value to 0% for the selected channel.

11.TRiM STEp (cOnTROL SURFacE TRiM STEp RESOLUTiOn)

The Trim Step function allows you to adjust how far the servo travels when the trim switch is moved. This allows you to change
the Trim function resolution to suit your preference. For example, in the default configuration, when you move the elevator trim
switch, the Trim percentage value changes in 6% increments. You can increase the resolution by decreasing the Trim Step value,
so that the servo travels less when you move the trim switch. This makes it possible to fine-tune the trim settings extremely
accurately. In addition, you could decrease the resolution by increasing the Trim Step value, so that the servo travels more when
you move the trim switch. This makes setting large amounts of trim faster, but the trim setting may not be as accurate. You can
choose to program Trim Step values separately for each of the five Flight Modes or you can use the same Trim Step programming
values across all five Flight Modes.
Programming F-MODE
Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers
