Hello.

I am setting up my first model with my new DS12. I have reduced the servo throw for my ailerons in servo setup by reducing the maxim movement to 40% but now the servos stop moving before the aileron stick has reached the limit of its travel. Can this be set up so that the transmitter stick uses the full amount of movement but the servo only moves 40%? I cannot change the physical installation of the servo because the is no other option.

thanks Dino.

Hi, i think you must calibrate the sticks.

Hi Dino,
please use the throw setting rather the limit.
Max positive and Max negative...

Thanks. Max positive and negative makes sense. I will try that.

Thanks Dino.

OK so I have tried setting the aileron servo maximum limit and maximum throw in different combinations but I still have a lot of dead movement on the aileron stick. The servo stops moving before the stick reaches the limit of the gimbal. I have also tried calibration of the stick but this makes no difference. The elevator and the rudder do not seem to have the same problem.

thanks Dino.

Place the file with the model data on the forum. Then we can see what went wrong.
