LITE4 2.4 Instruction Manual F. Trim Adjustment This is a function for setting the trim values for each of the servos, allowing you to make adjustments to each individual servo independently of the trim switches located near the control stick of the radio (which can be adjusted in flight). We recommend that you first set up the model's servo pushrods so that the control surfaces are as centered as possible mechanically before attempting to adjust them in the trim switch.
