Physical Transmitter Adjustments
Transmitter Mode Conversion
You can change transmitter modes among Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4. This conversion
requires both a programming and a mechanical change.
Programming Conversion:
1. Access the System Settings menu from the Setup List and select the desired
Mode.
2. Exit the System Settings menu to save the selection.
3. Power off the transmitter and remove the transmitter battery pack.
After you change the transmitter Mode in the Setup List, you will need to make
mechanical changes to the transmitter gimbals.
Mechanical Conversion
CAUTION: Always power off the transmitter, disconnect and remove the
battery before adjusting stick tension or friction straps. Not doing so could
result in property damage or injury.
Mechanical conversion is required to change between Modes 1 and 2 or between
Modes 3 and 4. The mechanical conversion consists of the following steps:
1. Change the Throttle Ratchet
2. Adjust the Elevator Centering Screw
3. Move the Throttle Limit Wedges
Changing the Throttle Ratchet
1. Carefully pull the top of the rear
grips and side rubber panels away
from the transmitter.
2. Remove the four Phillips head
screws that secure the lower
transmitter case half.
3. Put the transmitter face down on
a piece of foam or a towel and
remove the lower back case. Care-
fully set the back case aside.
4. Locate the silver throttle friction
straps on both gimbals. One strap
engages a serrated section on the
gimbal for a ratcheted throttle,
while the other strap engages the
smooth section on the gimbal.
5. To change the throttle ratchet,
loosen the throttle strap so it does
not touch the throttle gimbal.
Tighten the opposite throttle strap
to engage the desired throttle
ratchet.
