This page shows the present deflections of your servos, and displays the present step that needs to be followed.
If you make a mistake during the wizard, just hit the back button, and perform that step again.
Below is information on the steps displayed in the wizard, and what to do during each step:
•
Disconnect your Model’s Motor, turn on your radio transmitter and receiver, and click Next: Ensure that you have disconnected your motor or
propellor, and click Next.
•
Set your Throttle, Aileron/Rudder and Elevator sticks for level flight, and click Next: Set your aileron/rudder, elevator, and throttle stick
positions where you typically set them for level flight, and hold them there until the next screen appears. Note that if you are using Failsafe Safety
Mode, the aileron/rudder and elevator positions you choose in this step become the positions the OSD Pro will use for failsafe mode.
•
Turn your radio transmitter OFF, and click Next: Turn your transmitter off, and click Next. Note that your stick positions do not matter to the
OSD at this point.
•
Turn your radio transmitter back ON, wait for your receiver to bind, and click Next: Turn your transmitter back on, and once your receiver has
bound, click Next. Note that your stick positions do not matter to the OSD at this point.
•
Move your Aileron/Rudder stick LEFT, and click Next: Now move your Rudder or Aileron stick to the left, and while holding it in the correct
position, click Next. How much you move the Aileron (or rudder) stick during this menu item depends on whether you are using the Guardian
Stabilization Expander. If you are using the Guardian, move the stick all the way to the left (see Guardian manual for more information). If you are
not using Guardian, the following information applies:
Move your Rudder/Aileron stick to the position you use for making a normal left turn. Don’t give more left stick than you would do normally
during flight! The OSD Pro’s RTH function will never exceed the rudder/aileron left turn stick position you set here, or the corresponding right
turn position, when it attempts to steer the model. So, the amount of left stick you supply will set the maximum throw of the aileron/rudder during
RTH. NOTE: during this step, the OSD Pro also examines the elevator position. If your radio is programmed for elevator aileron mixing, it will
be detected during this step, and a proportional amount of up elevator will be applied during RTH turns. If your radio does not do this mixing,
but you desire RTH to provide up elevator when turning, move your elevator stick to the desired amount of climb (corresponding to full
Aileron/rudder stick left) during this step.
•
Move your Elevator stick back (for a climb) and click Next: During this menu step, after releasing the Aileron stick, move your elevator stick
downwardly, and while holding it in the correct position, click Next. How much you move the Elevator stick during this menu item depends on
whether you are using the Guardian Stabilization Expander. If you are using the Guardian, move the stick all the way down (see Guardian manual for
more information). If you are not using Guardian, the following information applies:
Move the Elevator stick downwardly, to the position you would use for normal climb. Don’t give more down stick (climb) than you would do
normally during flight! Note that this step results in up-elevator. The OSD Pro’s RTH function will never exceed this elevator up position, or
the corresponding elevator down position, when it attempts to climb or descend the model. So, the amount of down stick you supply will set the
maximum throw of the elevator during RTH.
•
Set your Throttle stick for Descending (normally motor off) and click Next: During this menu step, after releasing the Elevator stick, set the
Throttle stick to the position which turns off the motor, and click Next. Note that if you are using Failsafe Safety Mode, the throttle position you
choose in this step becomes the position the OSD Pro will use for the throttle when in failsafe mode. IMPORTANT: note that if RTH is invoked, and
the GPS signal is not adequate, the OSD Pro will set your throttle to this position. Therefore, if your model is on the ground, and you turn off
your transmitter or test RTH, your throttle could be put in the Motor Off position. If full motor off is not chosen for the Motor Off position,
your motor will start!
•
Set your Throttle stick for Climbing, and click Next: Set the Throttle stick to the position you would normally use for climbing the model, and click
Next.
•
The Wizard is complete! Please click Finish to finalize the new settings: This is the last page of the wizard. Click the Finish button, which will
return you to the OSD Pro setup screen. Then, click OK on the OSD Pro setup screen to save the settings.
Running the Servo Analysis Wizard from the Stick Menus
is invoked from the “Configure Radio Control” on-screen menu, as described in the “Description of On-screen Menus” section below. The main purpose of
running the wizard is to train the OSD Pro about the direction and range of movement of your control sticks, and to train the OSD Pro about what happens to
your receiver when you turn off your radio.
Each screen of the wizard requiring you to make an adjustment to your radio is timed, and remains on the screen for approximately 10 seconds. Ensure that
you have completed the adjustment before the timer counts to 0, and make sure that you hold the adjustment until the next screen appears. If you make a
mistake during the wizard, just run it again later. Here are the steps of the wizard:
•
Read Manual/Click SELECT: Ensure that you have read the manual, and then click the Select switch.
•
DISCONNECT MOTOR / Click SELECT: Ensure that you have disconnected your motor, and click the Select switch.
•
Set Sticks for level flight: Set your aileron/rudder, elevator, and throttle stick positions where you typically set them for level flight, and hold them
there until the next screen appears. Note that if you are using Failsafe Safety Mode, the aileron/rudder and elevator positions you choose in this step
become the positions the OSD Pro will use for failsafe mode.
•
Turn Transmitter off now: Turn your transmitter off, and leave it off until the next screen appears. Note that your stick positions do not matter to
the OSD at this point.
•
Turn Transmitter back on now: Turn your transmitter back on. Note that your stick positions do not matter to the OSD at this point.
•
Mov Rudder/Aileron Stick Left: Now move your Rudder or Aileron stick to the left. How much you move the Aileron (or rudder) stick during this
menu item depends on whether you are using the Guardian. If you are using the Guardian, move the stick all the way to the left (see Guardian manual
for more information). If you are not using Guardian, the following information applies:
