New M9 gimbals not calibrating correctly

Post by lanerover »

Wonder is this a problem with my X9D. I have just fitted the new M9 gimbals to my Taranis and calibrated them, Im using mode 2 and the right stick is perfect with the channel monitor showing everything as near zero as not to matter. However the left stick is showing 20% right trim on the rudder, Ive recalibrated 3 times with the same result. trying to find a solution I removed the centring screw off the throttle and that also shows 15% off centre. Both of these can be corrected using the trim switches but im left with very little trim on either stick. Has anyone any ideas or should i just return the offending gimbal?

Now this is really weird I've refitted the original gimbals and they are showing exactly the same problem even after calibrating. Certainly wasn't like this before. Sod's law sold my spare Taranis last week having never used it in 2 years.

All I can think of, is to recheck all your Radio Setup, settings.
Maybe, try creating a new model and see what you get.

Have you got some "sub-trim" set (under servos I think)?

thanks for suggestions guys,I had tried a new model and checked the subtrim but the problem persisted, decided to try one last calibration.Guess what saw the stick suddenly centre on the calibration screen. The only thing I did differently was to move the sticks separately one at a time rather than both together. Looks like another lesson learned! thanks for the replies.

So when you recalibrated one at a time, your problem went away ? :?:
