  • Trim Flight Results

    I did a trim flight my results were +10/+75, is this good or bad? Do I need to alter any settings and re do trim flight?
    Cheers

    I believe Spartan recommend for results to be under 50 for the piro comp to work at its optimum. As far as I'm aware the +10/+75 is 0.1 and 0.75 degrees off from the swash being level. If you have a swash leveling tool give it a go to see if you can get both results below 50.

    Hope this helps.

      That is good Tye.

      Try to get the other below 50 as mentioned above but my first results were -107+46 or something like that. Put a swash leveller on it was waaaay out, last time I do that by eye lol but I have not done a trim flight since as its sweet but I will do one tho to see what values I get this time. I did reset those values after I levelled the swash again

          Are the values the elevator/aileron?
          If so do you know what ones what?

            That's correct, they do just refer to aileron and elevator. To be honest I can't remember which is which, I think the aileron value is the first value but not sure. Stick a swash leveller on it and it should be apparent.

                  First is aileron and second is elevator. Positive aileron is to the right neg to the left and positive elevator is forward and neg back. Also it takes into account cog and not just a level swash.

                  Did you get the governor sorted Tye

                    Ah,,, did not check my COG before trim flight so I won't change anything yet,
                    I'll check/adjust COG then do another trim flight.
                    Dave I just posted on another thread you were posting on, Governor all sorted, works out of the box like you said, I did a model reset in tx and factory reset Vortex... Sweet,,,

                          Just finally got round to my maiden hover in the back garden, got +25, +40

                          Was quite lively with the odd gust flowing in, warp felt quite light & sprightly
