During initial assembly don't tight bolts completely, do it at the end. First you need to assemble
full frame and fight screws and bolts after.
The following arrow highlights the spot on the diagram or details that you need to pay extra
attention:
If you use a flight simulator, then in the settings Axis Assignments - instead Extra1 (Traction
Loss) must be used Yaw effect
Please check and if needed put back the motors power and sensors plugs as they were to match
the colors. This is very important. Never change wiring. Mixed of colors in connectors can damage the
motors and platform controllers. If you think that you need to reverse one or more motors, do it in
SimTools software.
Don't put ANY controllers on the platform before it is completely tested and proven to be
working as desired. After assembly attach the seat only. Nothing extra. When you ensure proper
behavior start adding controllers one by one, doing movement tests with person seating at the pilot seat
after implementing each new add on to platform weight.
