How do I center servos? I am very new to this, and am in the process of building an E-flite PT-17.

 Centering servos
by: Pete

Hi Greg - you need to connect all servos to their relevant receiver slots, and turn on the transmitter then the receiver. Make sure all transmitter trims are in their neutral positions and this will center the servos.
Adjust the position of the servo horns if you need to, so that they are perpendicular to the servo casing. To adjust the horns, remove the central screw and carefully lift the horn off the splined shaft, move it to where it needs to be and replace the screw.
