how do i correct for default drift and use the trim functions? I realize im spending 90% of the time just adjusting the auto drift while hovering.

I love these things. Fly every day I can. I have found that drift, other than being caused by the wind, is a function of many things. First make sure you set the gyros on a level surface. If still drifting check all props for damage and replace if necessary. I have also found that by placing the copter on a balance table that uneven weight can cause the copter to drift. These are small copters and so are very easy to get to drift. Even replacing the motors and not balancing the craft can cause drift. You may also want to check for cracks in the body of the copter, I had to replace the body on one of mine. The crack opened up the arm enough to misdirect the thrust of the propeller??

Make sure the props are not damaged. Put it on level ground with no wind. Turn it on and sync it with 0 trim. If it is still out that far after that then you possibly have a bad unit.

It's not a defect, it's to save energy. You can go to Settings--&#12299;Screen and find where adjust the of inactivitie, starts with 15 seconds. Regards!

I've been using mine with World of Warplanes and haven't noticed any extra sensitivity to the trim wheels. I'm using a Toshiba laptop with windows 8...It's plug and play, so I haven't noticed any features that allow for adjustment, other than on the set up in WoW. It might be due to the operating system you are using. I would suggest contacting CH to see if they have any updated patches for the flightstick and the operating system you are using. Hope this helps.Gary

Not nearly as easy as it should be. It requires opening up the mouse software and doing it that way. There should be a switch to autochange, sadly there is not.

It hovers in place after you have your trim adjusted from the factory. But once i set my trim, i haven't had to adjust it yet....

hold the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; down for a bit and it rewinds/fast forwards, you release when you are to the point you want to be at. a quick tap will go back and forward by track. hope this helps!

OK, I just found and changed the AUTO SET and the DST settings. I hope that does the trick. Thanks for the tip!

Hello Julia. According to Lathem, they will automatically update until you reset it. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

The trim has to be reset at each flight, the settings don't remain. That's pretty much the case whether you fly planes or HCs

I think you have to align your Slice machine. Sometimes it does not goes back to the initial position and next time will do that.

Shelly, I Have A Brand New Acer Computer With A 64 Bit System And All The Necessary Equipment To Run xplane 10, My Problem Is Not The Computer. It Is Setting Up The Game Operation. For Instance, I Can't Get The Null Zones Properly Set For Positive Control Of The Airplanes, In Addition, The Throttle Will Not Decrease To 600 Rpm During Landing Approach, It Decreased To 1000 rpm. Very Hard To Control Landings.my Last Flt Sim. Game Was 95, Lots Of Changes Plus This Game Is More REal. I Am Going To Contact X-Plane Support For Both Problems. It's Getting Better. Thank You

Yes, I do that several times when I want to not use the battery and make big chnages. I would recommend slewing manually for coarse adjustments. Doing fine maybe a bit tough.

Ok, now I've had this for a while and and have figured out the not always intuitive adjustments- which include caption text font style, size, color, background color and more. But first you have to go to digital captions and set it to manual. Default is auto, which grays out captions, making it seem like there is no way to adjust it. Only took me six months to figure it out.

Into the computer. It helps you see your last frame under your current. It appears like a ghost so you know where to move the next animation motion and if something falls you can replace it right where it needs to be. Hope that helps.

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.
