A QUICK GUIDE: GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC 4-CHANNEL AIRCRAFT
This guide is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and to give you
some ideas and direction in how to do even more than you may have already considered. It follows our basic format of all
programming pages: a big picture overview of what we accomplish; a "by name" description of what we're doing to help acquaint
you with the radio; then a step-by-step instruction to leave out the mystery when setting up your model.
For additional details on each function, see that function's section in this manual. The page numbers are indicated in the
goals column as a convenience to you.
See p.21 for a legend of symbols used.
GOALS of EXAMPLE STEPS INPUTS for EXAMPLE
Prepare your aircraft. Install all servos, switches, receivers per your model's instructions.
Turn on transmitter then receiver; adjust all linkages so surfaces are nearly centered.
Mechanically adjust all linkages as close as possible to proper control throws.
Check servo direction.
Make notes now of what you will need to change during programming.
22
Name the model.
P. 25.
[Note that you do not need to do
anything to "save" or store this data.
Only critical changes such as a MODEL
RESET require a dditional keystrokes to
accept the change.]
Reverse servos as needed for proper
control operation.
P. 31.
Adjust Travels as needed to match
model's recommended throws (usually
listed as high rates). P. 32.
Open the BASIC menu, then open the
MODEL submenu.
Go to MODEL NAME.
Input aircraft's name.
Close the MODEL submenu.
In the BASIC menu, open (servo)
REVERSE.
Choose desired servo and reverse its
direction of travel. (Ex: reversing
rudder servo.)
From BASIC menu, choose END POINT.
Adjust the servo's end points.
(Ex: throttle servo)
Close the function.
Turn on the transmitter.
