Spektrum DSX Transmitter - Endpoint Adjustment

[WickedFog]

How do you control the servo endpoints with this Tx? The manual doesn't say anything about how to do this. A video tutorial would be very helpful. Asking for a friend

Kind of SOL with that one. All your going to have is trim settings. Basic as it gets.

 

[WickedFog]

I was wondering if the trim settings is what you use to dial in the servo endpoints.

In this case its like a micro adjustment for centering the servo. Kind of a fine tuning kind of thing. Wont help with the problem he's having though.

 

[WickedFog]

So how do you keep from the servo overtraveling the linkage? Or ripping the linkage out of the plane? The only dual stick transmitter I have used is on drones, so no servo setup to worry about. Seems to me there has to be a way to limit the servo travel in the Tx.

The servos in plane are really tiny Kev. I used 2.5KG in all of mine. I don't believe there is enough torque to destroy anything. At least I didn't.

with radio listed you dont you either get a servo with a smaller travel or buy a better radio with endpoints adjustments.

 

[WickedFog]

But even with servos with smaller travel, you'd still be running the servo to its mechanical limit. The servo would still be at risk of burning up right?

 

[Tunedfrog]

In all honesty, I haven't flown enough to have that much experience with them. Only a few times and never had a issue with them but I just couldn't tell you.

 

[Doom!]

The only servos I've had go out on my planes were due to suddenly stopping at high speed from High altitude.

Hitec digital servos have end-point adjustments

One way to help keep from over-extending your servo travel is to move the pushrods out more towards the outer end of the the servo arm.
