Hey Guys,

I have encountered a problem with my new eurosport, recently flown:

The trim on the elevator works the OPPOSITE direction from the stick.

Meaning when I trim down clicks, the elevator surfaces goes up, and when I trim up clicks - the surface goes down.
Of course the stick movements are in the right direction.

I looked for an option to reverse the trim only - and could not find it on the 14MZ.

The setup is for a "flying wing" type, as the Eurosport is a delta setup.
The trim on the aileron works just fine, same movements as the sticks.

Any idea what is wrong and how I reverse the trim on the elevator?

Thanks,
Ziv

reverse channel 2, then reverse +/- on elevator in delta or elevons menu

Hi
I am not sure i follow.
Which channel to reverse?
the 14mz does not have a delta or elevon menu. Can you be more specific or are talking in general?

Thanks
Ziv

When you were setting the plane up did you reverse the hardware to get the elevator going the right way?
I think in the hardware section is where you can reverse the trim or stick directions.
I'll have to check later to be sure.

I think you nailed it. All trims are reversible . We had the same problem on a maiden flight with a jet and we didn't recognize that the aileron trim was opposite to the stick. As the wing dropped left we kept giving more right trim and almost lost an expensive jet. Fortunately we had a rocky landing but discovered the problem. Go into the hardware menu and reverse the trim

Go into reverse hardware and reverse the trim switch

First off...Any time I set up a new model, I always do a control check that includes the trim function just for this reason.

To correct it, go into the System menu, Select H/W setting, then Select H/W Reverse. Find the trim you want to reverse, select it and press OK...Done.

Make sure you verify that it is triming both control surfaces.

I know that Futaba was looking to make the radio programmable, but I really can't think of any reason where someone would want the trim reversed to the stick movement. Only time I've ever heard of the need for that set up was someone said they used a slider for throttle control and the trim needed to be reversed to get it going the right way

Done. Problem solved..

Thanks a lot!!
