Checking the Steering Trim (Mode 1 and 2)

Note: Checking the steering trim must be done after

the aircraft has been flown and the rudder trimmed for

straight flight at the transmitter. The steering trim is a

mechanical adjustment and should never be corrected

using the rudder trim at the transmitter.

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.
