Greg Ross has a reputation beyond repute

I don't think there is a way to "callibrate" a servo. The best you can do is to unscrew the little "propeller", and center the blade you're interested in. (Or get it positioned wherever you want it for a particular output value.)

Keep in mind that the kit servos do not rotate a full 360°. I don't know, off hand, how far they do rotate -- maybe 210° - 300°?
