Very helpful! Another way to do is let say you need +15, -85deg, I center the flap at -35deg, in Frsky fine tuning with the servo center in outputs, I then use a mixer line with the fonction MAX and offset 35deg. This way no sub trim required.
Another awesome video! Thanks Thomas! I'd love a video of how to install the deviant throw blade and control horn instillation. If you have time lol just so I don't mess it up when my deviant arrives 😉
2:58 when you set them to neutral do you use sub trim to set 0° deflection? I did this with mine and I think my sub trim value is 450ish which is the max value.
Do you need to check differential after applying the mechanical offset? I think when you mechanically offset there may be some differential even though your radio is set at neutral.
Could you help me with a problem i am facing right now? I am setting up my cfk alien dlg. It has a rudder and and ailerons, which also work as an elevator. Im trying to program flight phases on digital switches - which works for elevator. Phase "Start" which some elevator up - and some right angle for rudder (to neutralize the tendency for going left right after start). How do i access the rudder function to a digital switch? Is it via the "mixing" function of the TX? I am using a Spektrum DX6e...
Hi all, I am trying to set up my 1m Hawk DLG. NX8 - spektrum receiver I have set up my flight modes in Camber Preset. Is this correct: Cruise mode 0mm with 6mm up and travel of the aliron when I move the stick and 5mm down. Thermal 1 - 2mm down this then reduces the up travel of the aliron to only 4mm and means the down throw become 7mm Thermal 2 - 4 mm down this reduces up throw to 2mm and down becomes 9mm Is this correct? The camber preset moves the aliron function down. Should the aliron throw be 6mm up and 5mm down regardless of what flight mode I’m in? Cruise 0mm Thermal 1 - 2mm down Thermal 2 - 4mm down
Yes but I prefer a servo tester since a radio might have different values set up (travel, etc) that affects it even on a ‘clean’ install. Best to use a servo tester that shows the signal/positioning.
If anybody can direct me to sub-trimming from a Frsky radio with OpenTX, that would be great. OTX can be a bit of a different world when it comes to programming traditionally.
What are other common mistakes you see on a beginner model?
I like your " L " bend, CA glue, push rod stopper method. Never heard of that before. Going to tinker with it to see how well it works.

Great tip! That basically enters an offset value in the setup. I love how you can do things in so many different ways with OpenTX.
Sorry, at 3:26 it should be up aileron, not up elevator.
I’m new to gliders so have found your videos incredibly helpful. My DLG build had stalled for this very setup issue.
Thanks so much. 👍
Glad to help, this is exactly why we are making these videos :) Good luck with the rest of the build and have fun at the maiden!!
Thanks Thomas, some more good tips.
Can I put an order in for a basic how to catch thermals video. The simple things and what to look for.
Great suggestion! We have that in the pipeline :)
Another awesome video! Thanks Thomas!

Coming soon :)
please do a video on how to setup a DLG on tx 16s open tx
We will be doing more programming videos this spring.
Thanks for including bloopers!
Inspiring approach. Have I got it correctly that you never use your flaperons in upper position? (spoilerons?) The offsetting would limit that option.
Yup! Flaperons are not used as Spoilerons. The only up deflection is meant for aileron use.
2:58 when you set them to neutral do you use sub trim to set 0° deflection? I did this with mine and I think my sub trim value is 450ish which is the max value.
Combo of sub trim and camber systems.
Might be a good idea to link Reto's original article on RCgroups.
It’s been years, I’ll try to do a RCG search on that today.

@@tomkelley9316 awesome! I'll link it in the description box.
Could you please do a video on how to measure the deflection of the flaperons, ruder etc.? would be awesome. Thanks for the content.
nevermind. watched the whole video after writing this comment.
Hope the video helped make it more clear!
Nice video again 🤘
Thank you, glad you like it!
Do you need to check differential after applying the mechanical offset? I think when you mechanically offset there may be some differential even though your radio is set at neutral.
Yes there will be differential with the offset. I use differential to bring them back to 0% (real world, not radio value) before trimming the model.

Hi all,
I am trying to set up my 1m Hawk DLG.
NX8 - spektrum receiver
I have set up my flight modes in Camber Preset.
Is this correct:
Cruise mode 0mm with 6mm up and travel of the aliron when I move the stick and 5mm down.
Thermal 1 - 2mm down this then reduces the up travel of the aliron to only 4mm and means the down throw become 7mm
Thermal 2 - 4 mm down this reduces up throw to 2mm and down becomes 9mm
Is this correct? The camber preset moves the aliron function down.
Should the aliron throw be 6mm up and 5mm down regardless of what flight mode I’m in?
Cruise 0mm
Thermal 1 - 2mm down
Thermal 2 - 4mm down
Did you cut your servo wires to make everything more neat in the plane’s nose?
Not always but mostly yes. This one was shortened.
@@ArmSoar thought it looked too clean in there! One more question: can this be done with the radio and not a servo tester?
Yes but I prefer a servo tester since a radio might have different values set up (travel, etc) that affects it even on a ‘clean’ install. Best to use a servo tester that shows the signal/positioning.
What servo tester is used in this video?
Magic!
;)
That was helpful Thanks
Glad to hear that!

You can go into the output menu and sub trim there.
