 I have 3 props/Rudders on my boat   she is biased to turning to Port  probably due all props  turning the same way b.   I cannot seem to adjust the trim on the planet T5  properly  ie  with the stick central  and the trim central if I move the trim lever to port it will move the rudders all the way toport . I need to trim to Starboard but  with the trim fully over to  the left I get   marginal movement  to the rudders to Starboard . Is there an adjustment on the T5 that canbalance the trim more evenly

Possibly your servo linkages are wrong.Meaning that the servo moves the rudders more one way than the other. it may be required to move the servo to acheive equal throw and or reposition the links. As for your props simply reverse one pair of the motor leads and fit an opposite handed prop. John.

I totally agree with jamac check the linkage.

having props that rotate in opposing directions will help keep the vessel in a straighter line , as for the rudder it sounds like you need to remove the horn , set the trim on the tx to central , and with the stick in the centre position power up both the tx and rx , this will reset the servo to its neutral position . then set all three rudders so they are straight before installing the horn back onto the servo . jon

Thanks guys I've repositioned the horn on the servo  I'll see how she fares now  next time out .  Changing props a bit daunting for me might   trim the actual rudder   central angle  if need be
