Align Trex Se Setup Guide

     

CP2 and CP3 can be increased if you are experienced or after you become 
comfortable with your heli. The transmitters default setting of 60% will give 
you about 12 degrees total cyclic travel, [ -, + 6 degrees]. At this high setting 
the mechanics are very near binding. In addition using that much cyclic may 
cause bogging. Shoot for 6 degrees total and then advance to around 9 
degrees total. 

The radio settings should now be very close to final with the exception of possible servo reversing, subtrims and gyro 
gain adjustments. 

#2 Servo mounting, connections, direction and centering

Servo mounting may vary slightly but I found the following offers good alignment. Servo connections shown are for 
the DX6.

Figure A 

Note Ch. 6 servo is mounted from the inside and Ch. 3 is mounted from the outside of the left frame with the servo 
horn inside the frame halves.
