Servo calibration should only be used for fine-tuning.
Careful and thorough mechanical adjustment is
strongly recommended. Never reduce the maximum
servo travels (
P1 and P5) by more than about 10 -
20%, otherwise you will forfeit servo resolution, and
any play in the servo gearbox will be amplified unnec-
essarily.
17.1.2. The procedure for calibrating a servo
a. Servos controlled by basic functions
(e.g.
Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, L. gear, ...):
First check that the servo rotates in the correct di-
rection (“sense”) relative to the control movement.
If necessary, change the direction in the Parameter
REV/TRM. If you later reverse the servo, you will
need to re-calibrate it.
b. Servos controlled by mixers
(e.g.
AILERON+, DELTA+, V-TAIL+, ...):
In the case of servos to which a mixer has been
assigned, the direction of servo rotation is initially
irrelevant, as the correct direction for the control
surface deflection can be set within the mixer itself.
c. Select a calibration point (
P1 to P5) and activate
the value (percentage figure highlighted). Now
press the digi-adjuster allocation button
<F>.
The servo (or servos, if multiple servos are con-
trolled by the same function or mixer) automatically
takes up the position corresponding to the per-
centage figure at the selected calibration point.
With one hand you can now easily and con-
veniently measure and check the control surface
deflection (ruler, calliper), while the other hand re-
mains free to change the value using the UP /
DOWN buttons Ÿ / ź or one of the two 3-D digi-
adjusters.
d. When the deflection is correct, press the digi-adjuster
allocation button
<F> again, and the servo (or ser-
vos) takes up the position corresponding to the po-
sition of the associated transmitter control.
The number of servo calibration points (min. 2, max.
5 points) varies according to the selected setting
when you initially assigned the servos (Î 17.2.).
Tip: Vertical line for orientation!
The vertical dotted line shows the current position of
the associated transmitter control, and is an aid to ori-
entation. If you activate a value using the digi-adjuster
allocation button
<F>, the vertical line jumps to the
corresponding point and remains there until you press
the allocation button again, or move the associated
transmitter control.

Like the MULTIPLEX radio control series PROFImc
3000 and 4000, the ROYAL
pro
offers the facility to
define the receiver output sequence without restric-
tion. Compared with radio control systems with a fixed
receiver output sequence, this feature offers the ad-
vantage that, for example, the signal for a second ai-
leron servo (generally present at the higher channels,
e.g. channel 5) can be transferred to any channel you
like, and this can make it possible to use a small four-
channel receiver.

More information in the table relating to the menu
Servo, Assignment (Î next page).
Free assignment: defaults in the model templates
for MULTIPLEX or the standards of other makes.
All 7, 9 or 12 possible servos (according to the
transmitter type) are included in the list.
Up to five mixers can be assigned to each model,
each of them more than once.
How to carry out the assignment process:
a. Select the servo,
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
b. Select the function (transmitter control or mixer),
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
c. Select the signal format (only if required),
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
d. Select the number of calibration points,
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
The input cursor jumps back to the servo number.
This completes the assignment process for one re-
ceiver output.
How to erase an assignment:
a. Select the servo,
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
b. Press the button REV/CLR,
then press the 3-D digi-adjuster.
You will now see a string of hyphens in the menu
instead of the original assignment:
3 Rudder UNI 3P
4 -------- --- --
5 Aileron UNI 3P
