Step 6. Review the Mixes
You can use the Outputs screen to review the mixes. Output channels 1 and 2 may be
renamed to Elevon1 and Elevon2.
The example above shows that full right aileron has been applied, so channel 1 is at
75%, while the left down-going aileron is at 72% due to aileron differential.
This example shows that full right aileron has been applied as well as full down elevator
so channel 1 is at 75+25 = 100%, while the left down-going aileron is at 72-25 = 47%
due to aileron differential.
Step 7. Configure the maximum servo throws
Start by adjusting the servo center points using the PPM Center adjustment.
Finally the actual maximum servo throws should be configured to set the recommended
deflections and to avoid exceeding mechanical servo limits. The maximum Weasel
recommended throws are 25mm (aileron) + 10mm (elevator) = 35mm. Apply full aiding
as well as opposing aileron and elevator inputs, then set your maximum surface
deflections ensuring that servo or linkage limits are not exceeded.
Min/Max
The Channel min and max settings are ‘hard’ limits, i.e. they will never be overridden.
They should be set to avoid mechanical binding. Note that they serve as gain or ‘end
point’ settings, so reducing these limits will reduce throw rather than induce clipping.
Note that the limits default to +/- 100.0%, but may be increased here to +/- 150.0%
if required.
