V bar set up help please

smaller servo discs.
There is no reason to avoid subtrim as the end of a servo's travel range is never reached (try it).

EDIT: I meant sub- (servo) trims on the V-bar. Not on the radio - they are set to calibrate the sticks and then never touched again.

interesting point someone told me at the weekend, not sure if its the same for all radios but I was told Futaba are normally just about bang on with subtrim and endpoints. where spectrum does require some adjustments.

I can only speak from a spectrum point of view and my radio/vbar have never been spot on to start with.

I have been told this too , also when my stick is centered on colective 50 in 50 out , on the screen the stick is slightly high ie not centered .

odd that ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres a very good Smacktalk video on the VBar which you could download. Bert Kammerer takes you through it. Cleared a few things up for me. From my knowledge you dont touch subtrim or travel adjust as thats for calibrating the radio to the Vbar unit so that you get everything 100% (as Laurence already pointed out). This is one of the first adjustments you do before anything. After its done you basically dont touch them again. Only way to do it properly and easiest way (without effecting other things like geometry etc) is to go in on the servo wheels/arms. You should be able to get it setup perfectly by experimenting with diffrent types of wheel/arms.

WOW your from up north and you can download a video !!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
