Edgar,
So you make another program mix (I have Futaba 14mz) Gear Master Canard Slave and make an offset setting of 2%. What equates the 2% is that on the Offset A or B if Futaba and 2% = 10, 20 or 30 etc. Any help appreciated.
Yes. I add an offset mix in order to lift the nose for the landing. Therefore I used two mixes; one simple one for the link with the elevator function, and an offset one for the extra nose lift during landing and takeoff. You will need to experiment with the offset value, but can start with approx 15 degrees canard movement. Remember if for lifting the nose so the canard moves inverse from the elevator (don't remember if offset A/B)
