  • Swash / Cyclic offset

    OK, I am setting up a TREX 550 with a new V2 Brain. This is my second after being very pleased with the performance on my 450, BTW that setup went perfectly. Anyway..

    The setup;

    Servos - set bang on 90 degs
    Swash leveled (while servos at 90 degs) in set up mode in software and pretty much perfect through out the pitch range.
    Pitch set to +-12 actually +12-11.7
    Cyclic right aileron set to +11 ( I know this is high) but the when comparing the left aileron -9. Quite a huge difference in my book.
    Elevator is similar but not as bad.

    I was happy with the mechanical setup and am now doubting myself or the FBL unit, any ideas anyone. I must be missing something....

    Cheers

    Stuart

    Did you set servo limits to 100% in the transmitter with a linear curve before setting the swash?

      Yeah I did that. Servo endpoints limits set to give 100% in the setup software with linear curve (straight line)

          Has to be geometry or servo mismatch. But it's still doing my head in.

          EDIT;

          Basically I go the +ve and -ve pitch limits set correctly (or as near as dammit) using the throw limits in the Advanced Software configuration applet. Dunno whether this is the right thing but it worked and then flew rock solid.

          Hope this may help someone or spark a debate on the best way to achieve the same goal.
