• OPERATION
This section explains the operation of the trans-
mitter controls when the servo reversing switch-
es are in the normal position. When the revers-
ing switches are in the reverse position, opera-
tion is the opposite of that described here.
CD Aileron stick Controls the ailerons.
2 Elevator stick Controls the elevators.
3 Throttle Stick Controls the throttle.
4 Rudder Stick Controls the rudders.
5 CH5 switch Switches the rate gyro output.
6 Pitch trimmer/CH6 lever Trims the pro-
peller pitch control independently from the
throttle.
(7)CH7 lever Spare channel.
8 Aileron trim lever Aileron trimmer.
9 Elevator trim lever Elevator trimmer.
10 Throttle trim lever w/ATL Adjustable
travel trim lever. This lever acts as a trimmer
only when the throttle stick is at the low side as
shown in Fig. 6. It is very convenient because
the high side of the throttle position remains
unchanged even when the low side is adjusted.

*Trim lever is used for fine adjustment.
The trim lever is used for neutral position adjustment or correction of the posture of the aircraft after
installation is completed. However, after test flight, try to keep the neutral position as they are mak-
ing necessary corrections with the rod adjusters, etc.
