Receiver/ESC
Your Super Decathlon comes with a specially designed
receiver/ESC unit that allows you great flexibility. There
are three jumpers that are located in the receiver that
can be changed (added/removed) that allow you make
changes (if you so choose) from the stock configuration
that your Super Decathlon comes in.
Jumper 1- Mix of Elevator and Rudder:
You can add the jumper to utilize software that will allow
a slight mix of elevator and rudder. In this mode, when
rudder input is given, a slight amount of up elevator is
added. By doing this, the nose of the airplane will be
more likely to “stay up” when rudder input is given. This
can be of great help to pilots that are transitioning from 2
to 3 channel aircraft and are not used to pitch control.
Jumper 2 - V-Tail/Standard Tail:
Tail control: Your Super Decathlon comes with the plane
set for conventional “T” tail control. If you remove the
jumper, you will switch the control to “V” tail function.
This would allow you to transfer the radio system to a “V”
tailed aircraft, such as the ParkZone™ Slo-V™, or elevon
equipped aircraft such as the ParkZone™ F-27 Stryker™.
Jumper 3 - Auto Cutoff:
Auto Cut-Off: Your Super Decathlon comes with the
jumper included in the third port. This sets the auto cut-
off to function with 6-8 cell Ni-MH battery packs. If you
remove the jumper, the auto cut-off will function with a 9
cell Ni-MH battery pack or a 3S LiPo battery pack.
When your Super Decathlon goes into auto cut-off,
prepare to land immediately. You will maintain control of
steering and pitch, but not have access to throttle at this
time. You can “blip” the throttle to try to re-arm, but only
attempt this once as you are preparing to land.
Functions of RX Jumpers
Jumper Present Jumper Absent
Jumper 1 * Flight Trak On Flight Trak Off
Jumper 2 “T” tail control (Decathlon) “V” tail control
Jumper 3 6–8 cell Ni-MH 9-cell Ni-MH/3S LiPo
* Flight Trak gives some up elevator when directional input (rudder) is given. This helps hold the nose up during turns
for those pilots that are transitioning to using a 3 channel radio system.
