your helicopter to learn more about how to use and
adjust your TX610.
IMPORTANT TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
The Throttle Hold Switch (HOLD/
FLAP) is used to disable the power
output of the motor but has no
effect on the other controls. The
throttle hold function is intended
for autorotation landings off power
descent to landing; this maneuver
is really not realistic with a motor
driven tail. In addition to
autorotation the throttle hold
function can be used as a safety
switch while handling the model
since it disables power to the motor. Turn the transmitter on and set the throttle
hold switch to the on position. Now you can safely connect the flight battery
without having to worry about inadvertently moving the throttle stick once you
place the model on the ground. Verify that the idle up switch is off and the throttle
stick has been moved to its lowest position. Then, simply turn the throttle hold
off. The model is now ready to fly. Another use for the throttle hold function is
to disable the motor before a crash without having to drop the collective stick,
possibly forcing the model into the ground.
The UP-1 function is enabled and
ready to use. The UP-1 switch
(UP-1/GEAR) function is used for
aerobatics and 3D flight. If you are
a beginner to aerobatic s,
remember this switch sets the
motor speed (see your TX610
manual for details) while still
allowing positive and negative
pitch control. This means if you
get confused flying, pulling the
throttle stick back WILL NOT decrease the power to the motor but rather add
power. Hence it’s a good idea to learn to use the Throttle Hold Switch when you
feel a crash is imminent!
