Gemini Ground Checkout
Once installation and setup of the autopilot are complete (see Operation Manual for setup and operation instructions), a
ground checkout is a good idea before the first flight of the system. This is a simple procedure to verify that the servos
move in the correct direction. Follow the steps below to verify this:
-1) Center both the aileron and elevator control surfaces.
-2) Engage the autopilot.
-3) Rotate the knob clockwise, make sure the controls move to the right (stick) or clockwise (yoke).
-4) Rotate the knob counter-clockwise. It must be turned enough to select a left bank angle. Make sure the controls
move to the left (stick) or counter-clockwise (yoke).
-5) Toggle the joystick up to select a 500 fpm climb. Make sure the controls move aft.
-6) Toggle the joystick down to select a 500 fpm descent. Make sure the controls move forward.
If steps 2-6 are all verified then the Gemini AP is ready to be engaged in flight.
