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!
