However, it is important to be meticulous with your mechanical setup first. This means ensuring that all control surface horn and servo output arm lengths are identica. Also that pushrods come off output arms and onto control horns at exactly 90 degrees. If you don’t do this the surfaces might be set to the same travel at full throw but might vary throughout their travel. There is no easy way to correct this in the 18MZ and good mechanical geometry is preferable anyway.

Once you get this correct you can adjust the differential as previously described.

Thanks Malcolm that's all good now......
