9. Once the rudder has been trimmed for straight

flight, you can now adjust the steering trim of your

Apprentice. Taxi the aircraft to determine if it turns

left or right when the rudder stick is centered.

Do

not change the rudder trim at the transmitter.

If the aircraft turns right, thread the clevis

IN at

the rudder servo, which will shorten the steering

linkage. If the aircraft turns left, thread the clevis

OUT at the rudder servo, which will lengthen the

steering linkage. Adjust until the aircraft will taxi in

a straight line without any rudder control inputs.
