Just changed my sub-trims, should I rebind?

Hey yall, I had installed the ds821's w/o any spacers, and the cases were butted together, so I just got some Align CF servo spacers and put them in.

When I did my swash was high in the front at the two servos, I used subtrims to get the swash level again w/o any mechanical binding.


Do I re-bind the ar7000 now, or what?

When the guys did this step in huntsville, I tried to pay attention, but it was all too fast for me to memorize.

Thanks

I don't see why you have to re bind. All you did was change the neutral pos of the servos. If you have to re bind the TX - RX because of that it's a pretty poor system tbh

Thanks MarkD
That's what I was wondering, it seems to me that the servo neutral is stored in the TX, and the RX has nothing to do with it, but I just wanted to be sure.

When I boot the thing up, it comes right back to the neut points, so I think its ok not to rebind????

You do not need to rebind.

Rebind if:

- Enough change to setup that the bind positions, when used for those moments between RX power up and linking to the TX, would cause a mechanical problem. This would require a HUGE change, like a different aircraft...

- Changing the set point for "low throttle".

- On a heli, rebind once at some point after you get the gyro gain channel into HH mode for initialization of the gyro. No need after that (even if you change gain). Any HH gain setting is good enough to init the gyro.


That's it...


Adding these together, bind once (or use out of box factory bind if a new matched pair) and begin aircraft setup. Get everything set, with most important being low throttle, and bind one more time... and that's it. Shouldn't ever need to bind again.

Danal,

:noteworthy

I thought so, but needed to be sure, I'd be pissed (at myself) for a month to crash this thing because I fubar'd something simple.

Thanks again!
