Trutrak torque
For your initial set up suggest you use the following:
Aeleron: 1-3 for normal flying, add more as required if you are in heavy turbulance. The RV8 has a very responsive aeleron with a light touch.
Elevator: 3-6 for normal flying, more with turbulance. The elevator on the RV8 has a heavier control requirement than the aeleron, thus more torque is required. Also, load (heavy passenger, and baggage) will require more.
Note: the activity setting for the RV8 is usually set low for normal flying, except if you encounter heavy turbulance, increase it as needed.
