HITEC Neon SS - Manual (Page 5)

Transmitter antenna
Always have the antenna screwed in securely and fully extended when the transmitter is on,
except when doing a range check.
Gimbal stick length adjustment
The gimbal stick is adjustable to suit your personal preference.
Hold the bottom half of the knurled knob and twist the top half
counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the length to your satisfaction
and twist the two pieces to lock them together.
Throttle Function
The Neon 3 features a slide switch located on the back of the transmitter,
it is adjusted with your left index finger as your hand naturally wraps around
the radio case. Use this switch to get proportional control of your throttle
servo, or ESC, (Electronic Speed Control.)
Note: All ESC's connect to your receiver in the channel 3 port.

Servo Reversing
After removing the back of the case you will find four plugs
(there are four plugs if you have the optional 4th channel feature).
Simply unplug and rotate the connector 180 degrees, plug it back onto
the board and the servo throw for that servo, is now reversed.

Gimbal stick tension adjustment
The spring tension of the gimbal is also adjustable. Remove the back
of the transmitter case to expose the gimbal mechanism. Note the two
screws associated with the springs. To soften the effect of the springs,
turn the screws counterclockwise, to tighten the "feel" of the gimbal stick,
turn the screws clockwise.

Elevon/V-tail mix
Your Neon transmitter has a "built-in" channel 1 and 2 mix for flying wing
"elevon" controls and "V-tail" ruddervator controls.
This function is activated with the slide switch on the face of the radio.
There are two factors that determine what direction the servo will
move when the Elevon or V-tail mixing is selected.
- Whether the servo is plugged into the channel 1 or 2 port on the receiver
- The servo "direction of rotation", selectable within the transmitter case.
Using these two functions it is possible to have the two servos move
in the directions required for Elevon or V-tail/Ruddervator control.
If your ailerons and elevator controls are reversed you will need to reverse one or both of the servo reversing
plugs on the main PC board (described below) . If only one of the controls is reversed and you cannot get it set
right with the servo reversing function, you will need to swap the servo leads in the receiver. I.E. plug the servo
in channel #1 into channel #2 and channel #2 into channel #1.
