[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba Tx Programming Question

One thing I've found (and forgot while setting up my 3M Extra), is to match my aileron (and dual elevator) servos before installing them. Adjust the end points you want first (ATV/AFR) if needed, then match the servo arms so with the servos against each other you can set a ruler on top of the arms and bisect all the holes and servo arm screws without subtrimming. I forgot to do this in one wing and at some point have to redo it cause my numbers are all over the place. Then adjust the linkages to set the surface straight. This should get you super close without any adjustments. If they're off, I take the lazy way out and match throws in the rate I fly the most (high Ail, low elv). Not the solution you probably wanted but just another way to do it.
