Default Re: another valve question

If the valves are working fine, by hand, then maybe it's a radio programming issue. Double check your servo end points. Maybe you accidently decreased the end point in the direction you say the valves don't seem to be opening all the way? If you don't have a programmable radio, then that probably won't help.

If you do have a programmable radio, center the servos, with the horns on the shafts by adjusting the sub-trim. Then adjust the end points, which will control how much travel the servo has to the left and right. Sub-trim is not the same as your adjustment trim. Sub-trim will in effect set a new center point, or neutral point, for each servo individually. Use it when you can't quite seem to get the servo horn centered up on the shaft. The splines might get you close, when you take the horn off, and try to turn it one spline left, or right, but often times it wouldn't be perfect. That's where sub-trim comes into play.
