ThedeadbandistherangearoundtheverycenterofthestickatwhereA3Superwillnot
react.Sometransmittershavetheproblemthatwhenthesticksarebroughtbackafteran
input, they are not exactly at the same center position as before which may generate a
deviation on the corresponding function, althoughthe sticks seems to be in the middle.
Theparametercanbeadjustedbetween0%and10%,thedefaultis5%.Youcansetithigherifitisdifficultto


Inwhatconditionsastickcenteringshouldbeperformed?

 1  Firsttimeuseorafterinstallation.
 2  Afterreplacinganewradiosystem.
 3  Afterchangingthetrimmingbuttonsorsubtrimsettingsinthetransmitter.


Before centering,all ofthesticks(throttleexcept)shouldbe putin the middle position. While calibrating, the
LED will blink GREEN rapidly for about 0.5 second, don’t move the sticks until the calibration is done. 
NEVERperformthestickcenteringinaflight,becausetheoutputsignalsthatusedtodrivetheservoswill
be stoppedduringcalibrating,it’sdangerousif youmakeastickcenteringinthesky!There’re3waysto
