SERVO MATCHING Tutorial - For all Powerbox-Systems

[@RTD1947]

Outstanding Martin!!! So much simpler when you watch it being done and explained. Thank you so much

[@roastysprouts8705]

Great video, very well explained. many thanks

[@jimhart2517]

Can you match 4 servos on the competition SR2 ? I have a 57% Extra300L and it has 4 servos per control surface

[@billhigginsjr]

Outstanding Tutorial Martin ! Very easy to follow and understand !

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks! Pleased you like it!

Tienen buena pinta jejeje Saludos campeón like☆☆☆☆☆felices vuelos ✈🚁

[@carlitoxbro10]

Hey Martin, what would happened if one servo stop working? Will the remaining servo do the job? What about if the master servo fail? Thanks

[@R.B_B]

With those powerbox systems Can I use My Spektrum Dx8 in a plane with 14 servos?

[@thairalazawy6835]

thanks Martin

Excellent Video! Two questions: 1. When using the power box core are we simply using travel end point adjustment and subtrim to accomplish this? I’ll be using the new pioneer as well as the Core, so I’m not sure what exactly is being displayed on the small external screen. 2. Question on technique. Do you match your elevators in a similar manner? Making one a master then matching the center and end points on the remaining elevator? Won’t this change the speed at which they get to there separate endpoints? Thanks for all the great content. I’m new to power box and love it!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi, answers: 1- Yes, with Pioneer there is no setup possible inside the Pioneer, it is all done "per channel" with the usual reverse, sub trim and end point settings. With Core you can set a single "Function" (Aileron?) and apply it to 2 servos (both servos on right wing?) so once you make the individual settings with the above, you can simply set the Expo and Rates within the Aileron function, and will apply to all. 2- Yes, set one and match second. As long as mechanically they are good to start with the difference is inapreciable, especially in flight Hope this helps!

[@jameshaladus9165]

Hey, Thanks for making this Video helps allot !! I have an off the topic question about the powerbox system and support for the Frsky RX G-RX6, Do you know if I will have any issues running them???

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

FrSky are as far as I know, non compatible. At least it is not included in the specs... It will depend if Frsky use the same BUS language as any of the supported systems (such as the relatively common Futaba or Jeti/Multiplex languages)

[@jameshaladus9165]

Pickering RC I have seen videos on KZbin showing frsky works with powerbox, and I know some pilots use them together in Germany but very little info is out there could you maybe do a related video please !?

[@thedoeverything418]

@@jameshaladus9165 i assume he doesnt use FRsky. he's not going to buy a whole new tx and rx system just to make a video for you. as far as I'm concerned, they are different bus systems and powerrbox only works with what it says its compatible with. read the manual or something? couldn't tell you what it actually is but I assume it wont work.

[@afterburner666]

When setting this up in a plane with only a single servo per surface and wanting three rate settings, is it best to set the highest desired rate in the radio at 100% and then use the Mercury's endpoint adjustment to bring down the "high rate" throws on each surface to whatever the high rate throw desired is and then adjust mid and low rates in the radio's rate settings? The alternative would be to bring down the high rate settings percentage in the radio and not use the endpoint adjustments in the Mercury at all. Would the latter option effect the gyro from operating correctly or the best that it can? TIA.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

When running a single servo per surface, there is no need to make any adjustments at all within the Mercury for end points, you can do it just the same as if using a standard receiver. With regards to the gyro, this is unaffected by the dual rate that you are in and will always work the same, just note that the gyro is "limited" in travel to the maximum deflection input since turned on. In other words, if you waggle the sticks in the highest dual rate before takeoff, the gyro will have up to full travel available to it for corrections. If you did the same with lowest dual rate, then that would be the highest travel available to it, until at some point in the flight you used a higher rate, at which time the "maximum travel for gyro" is updated.

[@afterburner666]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC Thanks for the response. Since it won't cause any gyro issues, I guess I'll reset the channels I've already done that way in the Mercury and do it all in the radio as the less programming in between the radio and the plane, the better IMO.

[@Mike-177]

This is extremely helpful!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Glad you think so!

[@miladkeshavarz6529]

It was very very useful Thank you very much All the best

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks!

[@pegandoleveamerica]

Very nice.

[@theaerolife]

Can you do a video for dual servo aileron as well

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

It would be the exact procedure explained in the video. Set one servo at the radio, and match the second one following the steps above =)

[@theaerolife]

so if I set the inboard servo for max EPA from my transmitter?...and match the 2nd one to this?...i'm getting only 35 degree max aileron deflection on my new pilot rc 100cc.....

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

S Khalid that process is correct. The max deflection will depend on the servo geometry, make sure to max out the first servo and then just match the first one.

[@rainerullmann2922]

Ich wünschte mir, dass es diese Anleitung auf Deutsch geben würde aber ich denke, dass ich es trotzdem verstanden habe.

[@michaelpetale6872]

Loved it M!🏆🏆🏆👏🥇

[@uaerc]

Hi. Can some one tell me. If core and powerbox system can match servos at how many points. ? In this scenario it has 2 points only. After matching Is there a possibility 25% movement will be slightly off and or 75% will be off. Or will they stay matched Thru out.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi, there are three points that can be matched. -100% 0% +100%. It should not be necessary to add more points as if center and maximum are correctly set it should follow correctly throughout

[@scottanderson8908]

how do you adjust the first servo in the transmitter on spektrum, i don't know which one to adjust

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

You can set up any servo as the "first servo". The important part is that the rest of the servos then match it correctly. When I say set up the first servo, I just mean as normal using sub-trim and end points. Hope this helps!

[@scottanderson8908]

but how do I know which channel on the transmitter to adjust? By this i mean if i have a servo lead plugged into A on the powerbox, what channel do i adjust in the transmitter, because it doesn't have A like the powerbox?

[@rccosplay3249]

I recommend the Blue com adapter by Powerbox, for all those who want to update... 👍💖👍

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Definitely the easiest option! Just plug in and use your smartphone!

[@jetflyeB787]

How do I update my SRS powerbox via the internet?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

You need either the BlueCom adapter (to update via bluetooth from your phone) or the USB adapter (to update via your computer). Just plug it into the appropriate slot, and open the Powerbox Terminal program, and choose your device.

[@maxmorgan2297]

Hey Martin. i have used this for my rudder servos for 3 years and think it is really good. Always keeps a even pull on each servo. Do you know this? if dont, try ;) www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1615 Best regards from DK Max.
