Control Horn And Servo Arm Settings - Horizon Hobby E-flite Night Timber X Instruction Manual

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 AR637TA
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR637TA 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. If the control surfaces afre not centered, mechanically center the
control surfaces before fl ying.
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
3. Rudder- Center the rudder in line with the vertical stabilizer. If adjustment is
required, loosen the screw lock connector to change the length between the
z-bend and the servo arm for the rudder.
4. Ailerons- Center the ailerons by aligning the outboard end of the aileron with
the trailing edge of the wing tip. If adjustment is required, loosen the clevis to
change the length between the z-bend and the servo arm for the aileron.
5. Flaps- Center the fl aps by aligning the outboard end of the fl ap with the
inboard end of the aileron. If adjustment is required, loosen the clevis to
change the length between the z-bend and the servo arm for the fl ap.
6. Elevator- Center the elevator with the horizontal stabilizer. Ensuring that each
elevator is aligned with one another. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw
lock connector to change the length between the z-bend and the servo arm for
the elevator.
