  • Can some one explain

    Not to sure if this is in the right place but can someone explain what the following mean

    Elevator Trim

    Aileron Trim

    Rudder Trim

    Throttle Trim

    Yes you have guessed there off a Tx but i want to know what they do and if you adjust them what it means

    I know its a real newbie question but you all learn somewhere

    Hi welcome

    the Trim on the transmiter is a way of slightly changing the centre of movment. as an example if the heli rolls to the left all the time when flying a little right trim will even it up so that it will fly straight.

    There is an exception to this in that is you are using most (not sure if all) flybarless units then trim can actually updet them and they should all be left central, as should the tail trim when using a heading lock gyro.

    The throttle trim is usually used to set the idle speed of the engine.

    Hope this helps
    All the best
    Tony.

      The trim moves the servo a small amount left or right so that the servo is in the position that you want for normal flight. The elevator trim for instance will allow you to stop the heli moving backwards or forwards when the stick is in the centre.

            Aileron is the servos that control the bodily movement of the helicopter left or right. IE the roll of the helicopter. The elevator controls the bodily tilt of the helicopter forward and back and the rudder the rotation of the helicopter.

              Aileron is roll

              Elevator is pitch (not to confused with collective pitch) - basically nose up or down

              Trim is a fine adjustment. Say the model is tipping to one side all the time. Rather than holding an input constantly to correct, you add trim (using the little sliders next to the sticks) so offset the controls slightly.
