8U - Can I null the knob on Channel Six?
Hi,
I use Channel Six for the second aileron channel in my 1/4-scale Giles 202. I also use it for the gyro gain on another model. Today, I didn't fly the Giles because I thought one of the aileron servos had gone south; it wouldn't center. Turns out I still had the Channel Six knob turned way to the left from an adjustment to the gyro gain when flying the other model. I didn't figure it out until I got home. I felt like an idiot. [&:]
Is there a way to null out the knob in the Aileron Differential programming I use on the Giles? I'll be sure to check my knob before flying, but I'd like to null the knob action.
Thanks for any help,
desmobob

Thanks very much Krysta. I have the manual and the Don Edberg book and I STILL forget how to do things with that wonderful radio!
Happy Thanksgiving,
