It's available now to buy on DVD and Blu-ray, so what better time than now to share this exclusive behind-the-scenes The Equalizer featurette!
Reuniting Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) with Denzel Washington, this one is a gritty, action-packed thriller that's available on Digital HD, Blu-ray and DVD this week from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
After retiring from the world of government intelligence, Robert McCall (Washington) believes he has put his past behind him and is determined to dedicate himself to a new, quiet life. Instead, he forms a friendship with Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young and desperate girl under the control of Russian gangsters, and decides to use his expert and resourceful combat skills to help shake her loose from their powerful grasp.
The Equalizer also stars Marton Csokas, David Harbour, Haley Bennett, Bill Pullman, and Melissa Leo. Both our Theatrical and Home Entertainment reviewers loved it, »

The founding fathers receive the "Vikings" treatment in "Sons of Liberty," a six-hour miniseries that History channel will air over successive nights. Produced by Stephen David Entertainment – best known for heavily re-enacted docu-hybrids, like "The World Wars" – this scripted production is clearly intended to bring history to life, but sometimes at the cost (with apologies to Sam Adams) of feeling a bit too much like a beer commercial. Although generally interesting and handsomely done, the program isn't without its excesses, and some of the liberties taken here, creatively and historically, have little to do with the price of tea.
Billed as a "dramatic interpretation of events," "Sons of Liberty" opens in 1765, with Sam Adams (Ben Barnes of "The Chronicles of Narnia") being sought by British soldiers. Drunk and unshaven, he has run afoul of Massachusetts' governor for refusing to collect all the taxes the Crown considers its due from his fellow colonists. »

To celebrate the release of 'The Equalizer' on Blu Ray and DVD, we're giving 5 lucky WhatCulture.com readers the chance to win a copy of the gritty, action packed thriller on Blu-Ray!
Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by, he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalise the helpless, McCall comes out of his self imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

Greg Gerber posted on September 13, 2011 13:42MT. PLEASANT, Penn. -- Columbia Northwest, with more than 25 years of making the Aliner, will introduce the Somerset line of pop-up camping trailers at the 42nd Annual Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show.The Somerset name is a nod to Somerset, Penn., where Coleman Camping Trailers were manufactured for more than four decades. After the plant suddenly closed in early 2011, Columbia Northwest, located in the adjacent county, took action to keep the products, and their heritage alive, said Ned Collins, CEO."By hiring former employees of the plant, and working closely with many key dealers around the country, we were able to take much of what made their campers such an industry-leader for so many years -- quality construction, simple set-up, and a strong dealer network -- and make it part of the Somerset line of camping trailers," said Collins."In many ways, the Somerset line will be very familiar to a lot of people," said Allan Reeping, sales manager of tent campers for Columbia Northwest. "We stayed very true to the standard features, floor plans, and design that customers have always valued."A total of six models, ranging in size from 8 feet to 14 feet, will be manufactured as part of the initial Somerset line. Two of those models will be unveiled Sept. 15 at the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show in Hershey.Stoltzfus RV and Marine, a long-time Aliner and Coleman dealer, will be at the show with Columbia Northwest to make the introduction."It's an exciting time for dealers and customers," says Joe Hendrickson, general manager at Stoltzfus RV and Marine. "The introduction of Somerset means there are more quality options than ever before to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family."About Columbia NorthwestFor more than 25 years, Columbia Northwest has manufactured the Aliner from its plant in Mt. Pleasant, Penn. As the original A-frame pop up camper, the Aliner sets up in 30 seconds, is lightweight enough to be towed by almost any vehicle and can be easily stored and maintained. Six different Aliner models are available.For more information, visit aliner.com.SOURCE: Columbia Northwest press release
Happy to see the Somerset factory resurrected
Here a first look at the new Somerset Camping Trailers at the Hershey RV Show. Will post moe details shortly.

Product Reviews
This is a nice rug with a great modern design. The rug arrived in excellent condition; however the color is much lighter and less saturated than it looks on the website so that was a bit disappointing. My biggest issue is that the rug is still shedding after a month. I run the vacuum over it almost every day and within an hour after vacuuming, it is filled with lint. I am hoping this stops soon. I have purchased similar wool rugs by other manufacturers and have not experienced this shedding problem to this extent.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color on the website is much darker and more saturated than in person.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The rug is good quality, but after 4 weeks of daily vacuuming it is still shedding A LOT!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
Was This Review Helpful?

Super Bowl's Super Week Actually Kicks Off Tomorrow in Phoenix
No matter how you prefer your footballs�that�s the only comment, we had to�the NFL is on the move this weekend as they begin to take over the desert. The Super Bowl is set to do its thing in Phoenix (actually, neighboring Glendale) on February 1, but there�s also a lot for fans to do before the main event and kickoff.
All the goodies are part of the NFL Experience, and things will run over at the Phoenix Convention Center starting tomorrow and running through February 1. The league is promising an interactive theme park of football this and that. Think interactive games, displays, football clinics for the little ones, and autograph sessions from your favorite players. Head right here for the schedule and the hours of operation.
Within the NFL Experience you�ll also find the Bridgestone Fan Gallery, and here you�ll be able to check out all the media madness�from Radio Row to all the other broadcasts.

An Unlikely Spot for Tickets to This Year's Super Bowl in Arizona: Costco
For football fanatics, this will be a nail-biter weekend as the NFL Divisional Playoffs do their thing on both Saturday and Sunday. This is the final weekend where there will be four games, as next week there will be only two�as teams play for a final shot to get to the Super Bowl on February 1.
If you're feeling good about your team making it to the big game in Arizona, then you may want to hit up Costco for tickets. Yes, Costco.
Aside from ten packs of socks and giant jars of mayonnaise, the bulk warehouse store has plenty of big event tickets. Just as in years past Costco is ready to get you to the game, but that only assumes that you have some deep pockets.

Training Camp Travel: Watch the Arizona Cardinals Get Set in the Desert
Are you ready for some football?! There�s still a few months before the first official kickoff, but that doesn�t mean that there isn�t time for a sneak peek. Training camps are set to do their thing later this month, so if you�ve always wanted to check out the scrimmages and practices now�s the time to start planning:
The Arizona Cardinals were right on the doorstep of the NFL playoffs last year, but they failed to make the postseason for the fourth season in a row. That�s okay in our minds, because it�s a brand new year with brand new possibilities. The team has been hard at work for the last few weeks, and everyone from Larry Fitzgerald to Carson Palmer is ready for 2014.

Airport Carpets are a Shockingly Popular Subject on Instagram
While Instagram photo series like #throwbackthursday and #windowseat are popular on a mainstream level, there are other, cooler hashtags advancing niche interests. An example of this is #kicksonaplane or, as we recently discovered from instagramming the Phoenix Airport photo above, #airportcarpet.
#AirportCarpet currently boasts 882 photos from Instagram users around the world. Take, for instance, the below snaps from Portland, OR (definitely the most popular airport carpet, by far), and Wellington, New Zealand.
In comparison, #casinocarpet only has 186 images, and #hotelcarpet has 478. Of course one could blame the popularity of airport carpets on the waiting room-like atmosphere of gate areas and the hours of boredom before a flight departure, but where's the fun in that?

Rental Road Trip on the Cheap with One-way Deals in Arizona
There�s been plenty of deals to drive rental cars out of certain states and into other states as well; however, we�re not sure that has been the case at the same time. Hertz is either confused, or they just are really excited about the state of Arizona. The rental car company is now offering up one-way deals for those looking to depart from or arrive to the Grand Canyon State.
Heading into the state is the better option, so we�ll start with that. Drive into Arizona deals can be had starting at $5 per day on economy cars, and if you�re looking for something a little better�they also promise a good deal on other car classes. You need to book your reservation sooner than later, and pickup the car prior to March 10. Just utilize RQ �ICFLT1� to score the deal, and be sure to grab your car at a participating location. This includes options rented in and around Southern California, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, and the state of New Mexico.

How to View the Grand Canyon During the Government Shutdown
While the Government Shutdown is majorly pissing off travelers by closing national monuments and restricting access to everything from National Parks to major museums, there are some tricks to see what you want to see regardless. Take for example the Grand Canyon. The official visitor access trails and viewpoints are closed, so many have been risking the "unofficial" routes in, even encroaching on private property.
We do not advocate this at all, so for right now the easiest way to view the Grand Canyon is from above, while on board a flight to or from southern California.
Last month we were able to trace much of the Colorado River's carving into the Canyon while traveling at 35,000' on American Airlines Flight 1 from JFK to LAX.

Arizona's Attempt to Reopen the Grand Canyon Has Been Rejected By the Federal Government
The state of Arizona is already sick and tired of this government shutdown bologna, and it's not going to sit around and watch its biggest assets lay dormant. The state isn't sending men in black suits to Washington, DC or anything like that, but it is trying to open up some of its natural attractions�and is prepared to foot the bill that comes along with it.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has offered up some cash and funding to the feds�state money, not her own�to keep the Grand Canyon up and running during the pesky government disagreement. Sounds like a reason for permit holders to celebrate, but unfortunately the federal government couldn�t care less. Apparently the National Park Service has rejected the state�s offer to help open the Canyon for business. Some local businesses also offered to pitch in, however, once again no means no.
Two Senators from the state are now getting involved, so stay tuned if you�re headed to the Grand Canyon anytime soon. We�re kind of thinking that the outside funding requests will eventually get their way, and that big hole in the ground will once again be up and running. Until then, you'll have to find something else to do in Flagstaff.

A Visit to Arizona's Barringer Crater, AKA the Best Preserved Meteor Site in the World
Know what's cool? Space. Know what's even cooler? When things floating around in the vastness of space come pay a visit to earth. Ok, that's only cool when it happens thousands of years ago and doesn't hurt anyone. Luckily for us, that's exactly what happened near Winslow, Arizona 50,000+ years ago.
Formerly known as "Canyon Diablo Crater," this meteor crater, now known as the "Barringer Crater," is said to be the world's (that's right, world's) first proven and best preserved meteor crater. It's so well preserved that NASA used it in the '60s to train astronauts preparing for Apollo missions to Earth's moon. They did this because the crater very closely matches those found on the moon.

Russia's Meteor is Nothing Compared to Arizona's Hole in the Ground
That meteor doing its thing over�and into�Russia was kind of neat in a crazy kind of way, huh? Still, we�re pretty sure that we�d prefer that the space rocks stay out of the atmosphere for a bit. However, it's totally possible to check out some of the space stuff that�s made its way down to earth already, which is why we were intrigued to learn about one museum where you can safely check out some astronomical debris.
The best preserved meteorite impact site in the whole world is just outside Winslow, Arizona. The one mile across, 550-foot deep crater is yours for the checking out, as the site and museum are open between 8am and 5pm daily. It�s not just a huge hole in the ground�although it is that first and foremost�as they�ve got hunks of space junk on display as well. There�s a meteorite fragment that weighs a cool 1,400 pounds, and there�s plenty of space this and astronaut that. They�ve even got some training items on display from the Apollo space missions.

'The Boneyard Project': Airplanes as Art in the Arizona Desert
Okay, good news and bad news. Good news first: earlier this year, a group of artists banded together to rescue some abandoned airplanes from the infamous boneyards of the Arizona desert, repaint them in dazzling schemes, and display them as artpieces within something called "The Boneyard Project" at the Pima Air & Space Museum. Yes, it looks super awesome and yes, it was open to the public, but therein lies the bad news: "was."
You see, The Boneyard Project happened over a weekend in January of this year. It's over. We've only just come to find out about it as some design blogs circulated resulting photographs of the exhibition. Apparently the event was publicized mostly through the street art community as pieces included DC-3s painted by How & Nosm, Nunca, and Retna; a Boeing C-97 by Saner; a C45 plane by Faile; a Lockheed VC-140 Jetstar by Andrew Schoultz; and an assortment of nose cones, cockpits, and other pieces painted by Bast, Dan Colen, Trustocorp, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, Futura, Richard Prince and Eric White.
But wait! There's a little more good news...

Robot Battler (Genesis)
missing cover art |
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Robot Battler is a simple action simulation game where the player builds a robot and pits it against another. In building their robot, the player must first distribute points to five different stats, and then may also purchase weapon and body parts. Once the setup is complete, it's off to battle.The player directly controls the robot in battle, moving it around the arena and attacking with its weapons (if any are equipped). Using the weapons will deplete the robot's energy, though direct contact between the two robots will damage both of them, and is a viable attack if the energy is depleted. If the player's robot is victorious, additional stat points and money are earned, and the player moves on to the next fight.

CHP helicopter rescues couple stranded in Sierra Nevada mountains
A Utah couple injured high in the Sierra Nevada was saved by rescuers flying in a Fresno-based California Highway Patrol helicopter
By George Hostetter
The Fresno Bee
FRESNO, Calif. — A Utah couple injured high in the Sierra Nevada was saved by rescuers flying in a Fresno-based California Highway Patrol helicopter on Saturday.
The CHP said the Inyo County Sheriff's Department at about 4 p.m. asked Central Division Air Operations for help in finding a female ice climber who had broken a leg in a fall. The victim was reported to be west of Red Lake at an elevation of about 12,000 feet.
A helicopter was dispatched from Fresno.
Searchers in the helicopter found the victim, 49, and her male climbing partner, 52. The helicopter landed in Big Pine for reconfiguring, then returned to the scene. The rescuers had to deal with up-and-down drafts, blowing snow and strong winds.
The rescuers took the two climbers to Big Pine, where ambulances were waiting. The male climber had sustained a head injury.
The climbers said they were climbing an ice chute when the female fell, pulling her partner with her down the chute.
Both climbers sustained moderate to major injuries, the CHP said. The Salt Lake City couple would not have survived the night due to low temperatures and wind chill, the CHP said.

Member Commentsluvthesouthi have a better idea. you show me what we paid and why you are correct and everyone else is wrong. Posted 687 days ago. luvthesouththis is the opening paragraph from you quoted article. "The plan the U.S. announced today to sell its remaining 500 million shares of General Motors virtually guarantees a substantial taxpayer loss on the $49.5 billion bailout." are they wrong??? if they are, you already have their address...write them and tell them that you are correct and we made money. Posted 687 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, we did not buy the stock on that day and at that price. it could have been free at some point in time, but if we did not own it...what does it matter. we paid more for it and are now selling it back to GM at a loss. no matter how you rationize it...we are losing money! Posted 687 days ago. luvthesouththats good munster...now what quote from the article leads you to believe that the taxpayer has made money off of the auto bailout? thats what we were discussing correct? Posted 687 days ago. thegreekLTS. Munsters are the kind of idiots that voted for the heros that hold the office now. They have no clue what it is all about or how the economy works. I doubt they could even balance a checkbook. Their utopia is everyone work their life away with no chance of retiring so they can get more entitlements and set at home playing their Nintendo. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthbtw munster, one request...please leave the following off of your posts to me...."right to work is wrong". c om.. i would not do that to you. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthif you are basing it on your posted quote, how in the world can you surmise that we have posted a profit? we paid close to $52.00 a share and gm is paying around $28.00 a share in the buy-back. we will have to sell the remaining shares we hold at $72.00 a share to break even. so if you give me $49 billion and i give you $29 billion back, you consider that you have made money????? if so, i will take that deal immediately. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, what article are you reading? the article cited by R1KRA8 says nothing of the sort. please post the facts from the article cited to back-up your claim. i may have missed them. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, your reasonable question deserves a reasonable answer. yes, i have considered that i may be wrong in my opinion on occasion. however, your response to the gm stock is a prime example of why i find it nothing but a waste of time trying to discuss certain issues with you. your statement is false. even a fleeting moment of effort on your part would keep you from showing your lack of knowledge in your comment. i understand that you make comments to get a rise out of some on here, but frankly i have no interest in participating with you in that fashion. i appreciate fact-based observations and differing viewpoints, but i do not wish to waste my time on a dead-end conversation. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, those are actually only your words. i did not say that. discussing issues with you is akin to trying to push a rope up a hill, which unfortunately amounts to a total waste of effort & time. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthwell munster, i'll check back in with you later. i have to run to the bank to cash a few checks. do look into the gm bailout. it is interesting. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouth"washingtontimes" forgive me....it is washing day here without the "ton" attached. :-) Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouth"will you allow yourself to go down that road of becoming another mindless drone" what???? like you. i hardly think so. btw, you are the only one on here screaming scandal. i mentioned nothing about a scandal. you do live in your own little alternate reality...don't you friend? Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, my gosh fellow, you do seem to wallow in ignorance sometimes. please note that the bankrupsy was required as part of the obama bailout. from washingtimes 2009: "The boon for the union fits the pattern established when the White House pushed GM into bankruptcy and steered it through the courts in a way that consistently put the interests of the union ahead of many suppliers, dealers and investors — stakeholders that ordinarily would have fared as well or better under the bankruptcy laws. The generous share of GM stock given to the union trust fund under the White House deal puts it not only ahead of the Treasury but on a par with secured creditors such as banks, which normally receive the most favorable treatment from bankruptcy courts. Perhaps the biggest losers are the investors in the old GM. None of the bankrupt company's previous stockholders got any money, while the claims of thousands of investors who purchased the company's bonds are still being kicked around in a Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthbtw obama screwd the pooch over the auto bail-out. he stole the stockholders money and paid off the unions. government thievery by your boy.....not even an echo in the woods about that from you. i guess it's all about who the victim is....isn't it? Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, where should clintons budget surplus have gone? there is no national savings account. the money for the budget is an annual spending budget to operate. it is derived from revenue from taxpayers. so in the next year should the surplus be given back to the american people, applied to new budget items or pay off debt? you tell me. i think bush gave it back to the taxpayer. that is a very foreign idea to you and the democrats. any extra must be spent. the wars were funded dear munster. they were just not funded through immediate tax receipts. what do you think the money we borrow or from selling treasury bonds is being used for now? thats right...we give it to the muslim brotherhood along with those pesky jets and tanks that bush and cheney bought with our money. sweet ain't it? Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthmoderation, i noticed that in regards to the weather. many of our fruit trees have blooms on them already. your Phoenix i fear will make an abrupt turn as it's life-blood of "new" revenue will be leached out by free-spending washington. unfortunately, the electorate have allowed our representatives to spend us into this position. if anything this sequester has shown the disconnect between the american citizen and it's government. the machine does exist. Posted 688 days ago. moderationgood morning,lts- that 'good weather' was such a short cycle......but I enjoyed every minute of it. Budget? That'concept' went out the window in the last decade. But with a trillion in new revenues, it resemble the Phoenix bird. Posted 688 days ago. luvthesouthgood morning. this has been a very lively exchange recently. what isn't surprising is that munster himself can't separate budget surplus from national debt to save his life. clinton's term in office also included us having a sizable national debt. i have mentioned this to him before, but he doesn't seem to understand the relationship between the two.

So good!! We finally started getting my study ready. We put the desk together that I've had since Christmas, I've transferred most of my novels over to my bigger bookcase (still have 3 more boxes of books to put away). Tomorrow we will put together my desk chair (flat pack from Ikea), and I'll start displaying my Disney stuff, as well as posters, and canvases etc I' also need to put up a few more wedding and honeymoon photos!

Amen. What happened to fixing things the right way the first time. Oy
Maelstrom is awful. The ceiling while you are waiting in the queue looks rotted and like its gonna come falling down at any second.
I think that is the theme of the whole FLE. Not really that much to do, but it does look nice.
I miss Toontown also. Storybook did turn out nice though.
I painted quite a bit today. Except that the ceiling paint makes me itch so that wasn't good. Only have a little bit more and the duplex is ready to rent. Carpet gets replaced this week too.
That is always fun!
I do not remember if I posted this or not so I am posting it anyways

My daughter would love that dress.
I was just there this past week but I still can't tell its a new track but I do notice the new paint and some other trivial things with the hot springs. It will be interesting to see the new Queue but I didn't see any work but then I did have a bit of tunnel vision and it was night. That falling rock sat there for the longest time with no motion, its about time they removed it. I had hoped the new track would bring some added thrill, not, but its still fun as always.
Oxygen forms approximately 47% of the crust of the Earth.
A lot of people lost their houses during the Great Depression. These people ended up in shanty towns, which were also called Hoovervilles after the name of the president(Herbert Hoover).
Interesting related fact- in 2009 I found an article talking about California and they used the term Hooverville. Specifically it talked about Gov. Schwarzenegger (is that spelled correct?) shutting down Hoovervilles.

Stephen Colbert on God, Science, and the Environment.
ãScience: Thanks For The Nukes, Now Go Away.
If I may quote myself: Reality has a well-known liberal bias…
Now, I have nothing against observation per se. Looking at things is one of my great talents. In fact, as vice president of my Neighborhood Crime Watch, I personally witnessed a young couple attempt to paint their house a color not approved by the Home Ownersã Association. Thanks to my observation and flier campaign, their gracious home is now a beautiful Mannered Taupe.
But scientists use observation in a different way: to draw conclusions about the way reality works. They look at the world and ask questions about it. Only problem, we werenãt put on this planet to question our environment, we were put here to process it into fuel for our cars.
You see, like a load of dirty laundry spontaneously generates rats, questions spontaneously generate data and facts. And trust me: I would italicize these things if I didnãt believe they were dangerous. Itãs not like Iãm looking for extra workãÎ
A Better Way
Itãs natural to be curious about our world, but the scientific method is just one theory about how to best understand it. We live in a democracy, which means that we should treat every theory equally.
So hereãs an alternative two-step method for understanding the universe:
Step 1: Remember: Six thousand years ago, God created the heavens and the earth.
Step 2: Repeat as necessary." ~ from I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert

go steven repeat as necessary ;p
wonderful parody – i wonder how many of our demographic will not realize he is being ironic until they get to the six thousand year old line…. relativism rules the roost in spirituality, and i hear this ridiculous critique of science as much from liberal new agers as from creationist conservatives!

Resonant in-band pumping of cryo-cooled Er3+:YAG laser at 1532, 1534 and 1546 nm: a comparative study |
Optical Materials Express, Vol. 1, Issue 2, pp. 223-233 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1184 KB)
Spectroscopic features of Er:YAG at cryogenic temperatures are studied in detail. We report that the major absorption line at ~1532.3 nm is much narrower and much stronger than previously measured. Spectroscopic analysis suggests that its impact on the laser performance is limited because of the strong pump saturation effect. It is shown that the high efficiency of the laser is, in fact, achieved due to absorption in the wing of this line, which is comprised of a few other transitions. It is also shown that pumping into the relatively weak 1534 nm absorption line provides practically the same laser efficiency (~75%) as pumping into the major 1532 nm absorption line. This is explained by a numerical laser model which takes into account saturation effects of pump and laser intensities. The model is validated by experimental data.

India may decide on national investment board in 2-3 weeks
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The finance ministry expects a decision on setting up a National Investment Board - a body to approve and speed up stalled infrastructure projects such as roads, ports and airports - would be taken in the next 2-3 weeks, a senior ministry official said on Thursday.
A decision could be taken in the next two-three weeks, Arvind Mayaram, economic affairs secretary in the ministry of finance, told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting on the outskirts of Delhi. (Reporting by Rajesh Kumar Singh)

servo setup
Im having trouble getting my new cyclic servos setup properly. This is the first time Ive installed servos. For the mechanical setup I start by zeroing out all the trims and setting a linear pitch curve so 50% is at mid stick. I then put on the servo arms as close to horizontal as I could get them. The elev and pit servo arms actually came in pretty close. The aile on the other hand was a bit off. I then went into the sub trim to adjust it to level. As I started to adjust the aile I noticed that the pit servo was moving out of level. Ive tried a couple of things but I cant get them setup properly. Should I just level out the swash using the ball links? Maybe Im not setting up the servos properly. What is the process to install new servos?

What does the ADJ switch do? for that matter I don't really understand what any of the pots or switches on the RX do. Is there some good reading material out there to explain the how's and whys of RX settings? BTW, I'm using a 2618 if it matters.
Nov 14, 2011, 01:12 PM | |
bad issue
thanks for your answer again. I have finished to set my swash mix to be the same for all three servos (100%,100%,-100% )and it is alredy done. But the 3-axis gyro stabilizing doesn't wanna work:S I have really no other idea how to fix it... its very sad :S I went trough the rx settings multiple times . no change... so i think i have to ask some dudes in the v450 section mabye i can get some new trick. this upgrade disappoints me really much i have paid and worked so much on it. I really dont belive that this is coused by my brand new rx.. otherwise its shame to walkera.... btw thanks for all answers |

The WK>ADJ dip switch turns off the the AILE and ELEV gyro's for setup purposes which lets your servo's re-centre. In "WK" or flight mode the cyclic servo's don't re-centre but behave like a tail servo in HH mode and stay where your last input left them.
The PIT dip switch works like reversing channel 6. Mick |
