Your transmitter and model come out of the box set up and ready
to fly. Should you need to replace your fuselage or wing due to
a mishap or such, this section will help you reset your control
throws to the factory settings.
Note: Measurements are taken at the widest point on
the surface.
These are general guidelines measured from our own flight tests.
You can experiment with different rates to match your preferred
style of flying. Adjusting of the control throws on the Apprentice
15e is not as critical as it is on other models. The measurements
given in this section are approximations and a place to get close
to when replacing parts and resetting control throws. The location
of the pushrod or clevis on the servo arm and control horn of
the flight control surface are given as they come set from the
factory. With this information you should be able to attain settings
that will be very close to the originals and deliver the flight
performance you have come to expect from the Apprentice.
 1. Turn the radio on using the power switch on the front
of the transmitter and check that the throttle stick is at its
lowest position. The throttle stick needs to be in the idle/
off position, otherwise the speed control will not arm in
the next step. The DX5e featuers digital trims, so they
should be centered when the transmitter is powered on.
