In the following descriptions, all the servo reversing switches
are assumed to be in the normal position. When they are in the
reverse position, operation is the opposite of that described.
Mixing circuit is used for cancelling the torque reaction of the main
rotor. The controls for set the minimum mixing necessary for heli-
copter flight.

Throttle hold switch
When this switch is ON, the throttle servo stops at the position set
with trimmer and only the pitch servo is controlled toy the
throttle stick. It is used for auto rotation landings. When this, switch
is OFF, the throttle and pitch servos are mixed. The switch is turn-
ed on when pulled forward.
Throttle hold trimmer
Trimmer which sets the throttle servo stop position when the throt-
tle hold switch is ON. Full travel setting is possible.
Idle up switch
When this switch is pulled forward, it is turned on and the position
set with the idle up trimmer on the back of the transmitter
becomes the maximum slow position of the throttle servo. When
this switch is set to OFF, the normal slow position of the stick be-
comes the maximum slow position of the throttle servo.
Power switch The upper position is ON.
Level meter This level meter indicates the transmitter battery voltage
Neck strap bracket Bracket for the neck strap (optional).
Antenna
Strong telescoping antenna. Extend it to its full length when using
the transmitter.
Handle Use this bar to carry the transmitter.
