Simple Transmitter Setup – Aerobatic Airplane (ACRO)
further identification. It can be handy to use this to store
the plane’s channel number.
1O. Press the Up arrow twice. This gets you into the
Timer menu (TIME). If you want, you can use the Data
+Increase or -Decrease keys to select the amount of
time you want the stopwatch to count down.
11. This completes the initial
part of the setup.
Now, we’ll go ahead and cus-
tomize the ACRO settings
for your model. Switch transmit-
ter power OFF.
12. Now turn power ON.
The transmitter should display the model number and battery
voltage as shown. The number on the right is the elapsed
time, which will vary depending on how long the transmitter
has been left on.
13. Press both Edit keys to
get to the regular programming
menu. The end-point
adjust menu.(EPA) should
appear. Press the Down
arrow three times to get to the
flaperon menu (FLPN).
The display should show that it
is inhibited (INH).
14. Turn on the Flaperon
function by pressing the
Active/Inhibit button
(Clear) until “On” appears
in the display.
15. Be sure that you connect the right aileron servo to
receiver CH1 and the left aileron servo to receiver CH6.
16. Later, you can get differential by adjusting the up and
down motion of the two servos
in the FLPN menu. Now we’ll
set the servo throw directions.
Now check that each servo
moves the proper direction.
We’ll use the Reversing function
if they don’t. Go to the Reversing menu (REV) by hitting the
Downarrow.
17. We’ll start by setting the right aileron servo direction.
This is channel 1, and the 1 should be flashing for this
command. When you move the right-hand stick to the
right, the aileron on the right wing should move upwards,
and the aileron on the left should move downward.
Check that the right aileron moves the correct way!
18. If it does not, activate the opposite direction for the
CH1 aileron servo by pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear)
key. Each press switches from Reversed to Normal and
from Normal to Reverse. In the display, NOR for Normal is
chosen when the little triangle is above the channel
number, and REV for Reverse is
chosen when flashing numeral
the channel
number. Move the right-hand
stick again and verify
the right aileron moves in the
right directions.
The display shows Channel 1 reversed.
19. Next we’ll set the direction of the elevator servo,
channel 2. When you move the right-hand stick towards
the BOTTOM of the transmitter, the elevator should move
up. Check to make sure it moves in the proper direction!
(More planes are crashed due to reversed controls than
for any other reason.)
20. If the elevator control moves in the wrong direction,
move over to Channel 2 by pressing the Cursor Right
key. Now the ‘2’ should be flashing in the display.
Activate the opposite direction for the elevator servo by
pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key. Move the right-hand
stick up-and-down again and verify the elevator
moves the right direction.
21. Now we’ll set the direction of the throttle servo. When
you move the left-hand stick towards the BOTTOM of the
transmitter, the throttle should close, meaning that the
hole in the carburetor should close. Check to make sure
that the throttle lever on the engine moves in the proper
direction!
22. If the throttle servo moves in the wrong direction,
move over to Channel 3 by pressing the Cursor Right
key. Now the 3 should be flashing in the display.
Activate the opposite direction for the throttle servo by
pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key. Verify the throttle
stick makes the servo move the carburetor opening in the
correct direction.
23. Now we’ll set the direction of the rudder servo. When
you move the left-hand stick towards the CENTER of the
transmitter (to the right), the trailing edge or rear rudder
should move to the right. Check to make sure!
