Title: Servos in VTOL's
Post by: krishnateja on April 26, 2013, 02:36:49 PM
How to use servos for tilting the motors of a VTOL as elevator? I want it to be tilted as much as i want like aeilerons,rudder n elevator. I dont want it to be used like landing gears(one switch,the servo will turn till maximum at once).  How can it be done in a 9 ch transmitter an 9 ch receiver? Can anyone hlp me out.

THANK YOU.
 Krishna.

You should be able to map it to a pot. I don't know which radio you have, but any 9 channel radio should have at-least three extra pots (other than throttle, rudder, elevator &aileron). Also a little more detail on what you are trying to achieve would be helpful.

Like i said for instance , if i push the rudder stick half way in any one direction ,it will command the rudder servo to turn only half(this is what i wanted).But in case of landing gears if we pull the stick (something like hilighted in the pictures)the landing gear servo will turn till its max(where we cannot control how much turn we want).

ummm will a 6ch be enough for a basic VTOL ( basic functions of a quad and additional tilting of servos ) ????

i suggest 9 ch because a VTOL will be so complicated that it requires

2  servos for tilting 2 motors at wingtip
1 servo for rudder
1 servo for aeileron
1 servo for elevator
1 servo for landing gear(some cases)
Throttle channel ,And maybe still more if you want to add still more

A 6ch transmitter can work for what u look up to

i just need 2 for tilting the servo for the motors , one for the aileron apart from the usual quad functions , , , thats all
