Receiver - Servo Connection List
The table below shows the hookups that should be used for each of the model types. Note that some functions
shown will not operate until they are activated in the transmitter.
Transmitter Input Buttons
The buttons are used for different things as follows:
1. The Edit/Display Up & Down buttons (1)allow
you to move up and down within the model
menus, and move within the regular display.
2. The Cursor Left/Right buttons (2)allow you to
select options within a particular function, and control the timer function.
3. The Data +Increase & -Decrease buttons (3)allow you to increase or decrease the numerical settings for a function.
4. The Clear Active/Inhibit button (4)resets numbers, and turns functions on and off.
5. The Engine Lock button (5)holds the throttle channel while other channels may respond to the transmitter.
6. The Engine Cut button (6)closes the throttle so that you can shut off the engine without touching the trim lever.
You'll learn how to use these buttons in the setup sections that follow.
When you first turn on your transmitter, the first screen
shown below appears on the LCD display. Before flying,
or even starting the engine, BE SURE that the model
number appearing in the top center of the display
matches the model that you are about to fly!
If you don't, reversed servos and incorrect trims will lead
to an immediate crash.
You can scroll up and down through the startup screen
by pressing one of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the
far left). If you press timer or engine cut or lock keys, you
go directly to those functions regardless of the display.

This screen appears at
startup. The model
memory number is shown
by the small down-arrow.
Battery voltage is shown in
the bottom left,and operating time is on the lower right.
You can reset the operating time display by hitting the
Clear button (the one on the farthest right). Do this after
each charge to keep track of your operating time on a
single charge.
Pressing the Up button
gives the Trim display
(different numbers may
appear depending on the
model type). To see where
the trim for a certain channel is, you have to move it! Be
sure to move it back to where it was. Note that the CH3
trim only moves downward, so if you need more engine
RPM, set up idle with the trim at -25% so you can increa-
se it if needed.
