Default RE: Question: radio/plane set-up

Absolutely. And, when setting up a new plane, you want to do several things. The first one I would think of is. as already stated, woud be resetting the radio so that everything is starting from the center, electronically.

Now it's time to set your servos. Use your receiver (there is also something called TXServo that helps, uses a computer interface to work your servos if you have one or can get one, but your transmitter/receiver pair will work just fine), just center all trim tabs.

Pick a working channel, one that centers, say the Aileron channel. Remove the linkage from the serovs in the tray. You already removed all TX trim on the aileron channel, so the stick and trim will be centered. \

Connect a servo to that channel on the RX. It will go to the center. Now, push a servo arm onto the shaft using the one servo arm that is perpendicular to the side of the servo you will be workng with. Screw it down, then remove the servo wire from the receiver aileron channel and repeat with your next servo. Once finished, you can connect all the servos to their proper channels and then go from there.

Be careful during your linkage connections not to move the servo arms. If you do, then remember that you moved them and simply turn on your transmitter/receiver pair to re-center them before doing any mechanical settings on your linkage.
