Spartan 8 Degrees

[boysmith]

Hi, I'm setting up my first spartan vortex vx1n, everything working correctly up until the aileron 8 degrees, my pitch gauge is reading-8 when I get to the elevator 8 degrees it's 8 degrees, what I'm I doing wrong.
cheers Paul

Which way are the blades pointing though? I've done loads of Spartan setups but it has been a while now. I'm pretty sure it tilts the blades into positive pitch for setting the 8 degrees, but if your pitch gauge is flipped around it could read -8.

Hi, thanks for the reply the pitch guage is on the right way reading-8 if I move the blade over the boom it reads 8 degrees when I put it back above the front it goes back to -8 the elevator is reading 8 degrees

Well, If it's negative on the pitch gauge it's still 8 degrees. The main thing is that it is correcting in the right direction and that the swash is moving in the right directions according to the stick movements. Pay close attention to where the servo reverse is set (if needed) as there may be more than one way to do it, but if it's done the correct way you'll see all the stick movements going in the correct directions both at the swash and also in the display in the datapod.

Cheers Trillian, I reversed the aileron and rudder on my transmitter to allow the datapod ball to mimic my transmitter.

Thanks Paul
