PROGRAMMED MIXING FAIL SAFE
Unidirectional mixing of any two channels desired
is possible using the pin board and jumper con-
nectors on the transmitter back panel. Either chan-
nel may be designated as "master" or "slave".
DSC (Direct Servo Control)
Operation of the entire system with the transmit-
ter switch in OFF position is possible using the
DSC cord. This is useful for checking and adjusting
control movements on the ground while someone
else is flying on your frequency.
The Fail Safe function moves servos to a pre-set
position if the transmitter signal is lost or inter-
rupted by strong interferrence. The servos will be
held in the pre-set position until a proper signal is
again received at which time Fail Safe is released.
HOLD
The Hold function holds servos at the same posi-
tion as immediately prior to signal interruption.
Hold is released when a proper signal is resumed.
•Trainer system offers an easy training of flight
for beginners.
•BASIC TRANSMITTER CONTROLS
The servo reversing switches are assumed to be in the normal position in the descrip-
tions in this section. When the reversing switches are in the reverse position, servo
operation is the opposite of that described here.
