Verification of Steering and Driving Functions
Now connect the servos or speed controllers used in your model and the power supply to the receiver.
For better understanding, the steering function is explained using the example of a model car. To prevent
the model from driving off inadvertently while testing the steering and drive functions, place the model
chassis on a suitable basis (wooden block, etc.). The wheels should turn freely.
a) Checking and Setting the Steering Function
Switch on the transmitter and, if you have not done so yet, set the trim for the driving and steering function to the
middle position according to the instructions in chapter 13.
Then switch on the receiver. If everything was connected and installed correctly, the model steering should react to
turns of the steering wheel (see figure 1, item 2).
When the steering wheel is in its central position, the wheels must point straight ahead. If the wheels are inclined even
though the steering wheel is in the middle position, check the correct position of the lever at the steering servo. On
demand, the steering linkages of the steering may be adjusted as well.
If you are turning the steering wheel at the transmitter to the left, the wheels at the vehicle must deflect to the left (see
figure 11, sketches A). If you are steering to the right, the wheels must turn to the right (see figure 11, sketches B).
