I've successfully configured several S6R and one S8r receivers. The first one took an entire weekend and the one I did yesterday took only about 20 minutes, so I am still able to learn.
The stability, auto level, and panic modes work great. I've even figured out how to do things with the Lua script such as tweaking the Aileron gain to make the self level reaction on one of my planes less violent.
But none of my models will fly exactly straight and level in auto level mode. Conventionl trim won't correct the out of trim condition except in yaw. I experimented with one model which flew a little bit nose down and slightly right wing down with auto level on. I though by putting the model on a bench and tilting it slightly to the left and slightly nose up, I could perform a self check and that would bias the auto level mode so that the plane would fly perfectly. In other words, I was trying to trick the S8R into thinking "down" was in a slightly different direction. No such luck. The equipment refused to be fooled and the plane still flew slightly out of trim.
Then I discovered that in addition to stabilization gain adjustments, the Lua script has adjustments for autolevel Ele and autolevel Ail. I'm optimistic that this is what I need to adjust to trim out what the receiver thinks is perfectly level flight. But the adjustments are labeled "offset".
So my question is, which way to go with the offset adjustment and how much to try. I'm guessing a positive offset will trim the auto-level more nose up, but that is STRICTLY a guess. And how much offset should I try the first time I test?.........1?.......10? ......... more?
How about auto-level offset for Ail? Which way will trim the aircraft right wing down?
Or, I suppose my assumption about what auto-level Ail offset does is completely off base.
Does anyone have actual experience with tweaking auto level using the Ail and Ele offset adjustment or is everyone just happy with the factory defaults as long as the system will help reduce pilot error crashes.
