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.
Aircraft turns right—
Thread clevis IN at rudder servo
