I have a Spartan which I love by the way. I have a question though. I use a 9256. Im not sure how long my servo arm is until I get home.

I set the gyro up using the whole of the pitch range not using the spartan link. I then connected to my spartan with the link and the endpoints on the configurator are still 100 and 100. why is this? I cant imagine i got it absolutely spot on in the setup?? or does this mean my servo arm is too short?

Thank

Tom

Because the default settings would be 100/100 and you mechanically set it up to use that amount of ATV
Hence when you did the quick setup - it's the same settings as per default

thats what i mean though, i didnt set it up mechanically to use that, i adjusted the travel limits by using my rudder stick. thats why i dont understand why they havent changed.

Well it looks like you have mechanically setup the tail for full pitch slider travel with the gyro in it's default settings

But in any case you've picked a ball position that resulted in a travel of 100 - no big deal

Maybe you switched off too soon? After you set the endpoints you need to toggle the gain switch once more and wait for the LED to be solid on before any changes are stored.
