Adjust the linkage or the
END POINT
? It is nearly always best to adjust your linkages to get as close as possible prior to
utilizing
END POINT
. The higher the
END POINT
setting, the better position accuracy and the more servo power available
at nearly any position (except if using digital servos). Higher
END POINT
values also mean longer travel time to reach the
desired position, as you are utilizing more of the servo's total travel. (For example, using 50%
END POINT
would give you
only half the steps of servo travel, meaning every click of trim has twice the effect and the servo gets there in half the
time).
• end point (and moving the linkage) = torque, accuracy, but transit time to get there.
• end point (instead of adjusting linkages) = travel time, but torque, accuracy.

Engine idle management:
IDLE-DOWN
and
THR-CUT
: functions which work with the digital
THROTTLE TRIM
to provide
a simple, consistent means of engine operation. No more fussing with getting trim in just the right spot for landings or take
offs! For additional engine adjustments, see
THROTTLE-NEEDLE

(p. 51).
IDLE-DOWN
(

only): lowers the engine idle for: sitting on the runway prior to take off, stalls and spins, and landings.

Important note: The
IDLE-DOWN
function is not normally used when starting the
engine, and its accidental operation may keep your engine from starting. The

turn off the function, or override the warning by pressing CURSOR lever if you
intended the function to be on.
