EQ6 Usage for newbie

[Oilsands]

Before you adjust the servos electonical, make sure you adjust the linkages properly and that your Tx does not have any end points adjusted or trims set.
You could plug both of your elevator servos into the same channel (one in A and one in B). After doing the above instructions I posted earlier, power off the Rx and Smart-fly system. Turn the function dial to 1 and the channel dial to the channel that your elevator servos are plugged into. Then power up your Tx and Rx (smart-fly).
If you plugged both of your elevator servos into one channel (say 3) then one will probally need to be reversed. Turn the function dial to 5, 6 or 7 (which relate to A, B or C) for the servo that needs to be reversed. For example the left elevator servo is plugged into channel 3 A and the right one into channel 3 B and it is the left one that you need reversed. Then you would have the function dial on 5 and the channel dial on 3, then you would press the increase button (LED should flash faster). Now both elevator surfaces will move in the same direction. Once that is done, turn the function dial to 1 and move the Tx stick and the elevator surfaces (or at least the servo that is plugged into A port) should move. Let your Tx stick center. Now using the increase and decrease button, adjust the surface so that it is centered. One that is done, move the Tx stick full down elevator and hold for a couple seconds. The surface should move part way then jump full over and stay there. Release the stick. Now using the increase and decrease buttons, you can adjust the end points of the servo (max throws). Then move the stick to full up elevator and hold for a couple seconds, the surface should move the other way and stay there. Again using the two buttons adjust your end point for that direction. Then move the stick to down elevator and when the surface moves, release the stick before it go to the end (it should now be back in the center). Do this a couple of times to make sure all is set right. Once that is done, turn the function dial to 2 and repeat the above for the other surface. To do the other surfaces you would follow the same procedure but just have the channel dial turned to the number of the channel your going to adjust.
Once you do this once, it gets easier to do as well as quicker.
If you have one servo plugged into 3 and the other into 7, then follow the above but you would have the channel dial on 3 and adjust the center and both end points. Then turn to 7 and do the same. Hope this help you out.

Hi,
Just a note here, when you start adjusting servos, its best to power up with the function at "0" and then move the channel to the channel you want to adjust the servos on and then move the function to "1" to adjust servo A, "2" to adjust servo B and so forth. You do not need to power down the unit when moving between channels or functions. I am not sure if this is clear in the instructions.

Thanks, learned something new.
The first time I did program the Eq6, it did take me a little while to catch on. Mainly because I did not know where to start. But now that I have done it once, it is a lot easier and quicker the other times after that. I do all my adjusting with the plane all put together, but I have the room to do that. Now all I use is the Programming Technical Reference sheet, starting off on the Options menu and then to the Servo Adjustment side of the page.
All I use for a setup is two LiPo (7.4v) batteries going to the Eq6, a Rx, the Smart-fly Pin Flag switch, required servos, one LiPo (7.4v) to the Smart-fly Ignition Regulator going to a Smart-fly Ignition Cutoff then to the ignition. So all I do is pull the pin and all powers up except the ignition, but a flip of the switch I have programmed in my Tx and the ignition is powered up. To shut off, flipping the switch on the Tx shuts power down to the ignition and inserting the pin cuts all power off to all (except for the very, very small amount of current draw that the Smart-fly system uses). At the end of the day I remove the batteries and charge for the next day.

The instructions are clear. Just follow them and you will be good to go.

thanks antony i make all you tell me and its good know only one question more doing this the atv on the tx has to go to max throws o on the preset of fabris for the tx

[Oilsands]

You could leave it at the default or better yet adjust it to close to max range. If you programmed your Eq6 already, making any changes to the settings on your Tx will change the throws of your surfaces. So that would mean you need to re-program the Eq6 again. Not sure if this answered your question as I did not fully understand the last part of your post (fabris?).

[jonathanmanopla]

aa sorry its fabric haha thanks that its the answer i want thanks

[Oilsands]

Your welcome.

anthony thanks for all now i set my plane thankss for all
