GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC 4-CHANNEL (Aileron/Flap/Rudder/Elevator) GLIDER
This guideline is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and
to give you some ideas and direction in how to do even more with this powerful system than you may have already
considered. It follows our basic format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what we’re trying to
accomplish; a “by name” description of the steps to help acquaint you with the radio; and a step-by-step instruction to leave
out the mystery and challenge of setting up your model.
For additional details on utilizing each function, see that function’s section in this manual – the page numbers are indicated
in the first column as a convenience to you.
GOAL of EXAMPLE: STEPS: INPUTS:
68
Prepare your aircraft.
Install all servos, switches, receiver per your model’s instructions.
Turn on transmitter then receiver; adjust all linkages so surfaces are nearly centered.
Mechanically adjust all linkages to get as close as possible to proper control
throws and minimize binding prior to radio set up.
Check servo direction and throws.
Make notes now of what you will need to change during programming.
Select the proper MODEL TYPE for your
model. (Ex: GLID1FLAP.) See p. 70.
[NOTE: This is one of several functions
that requires confirmation to make a
change. Only critical changes such as a
MODEL RESET require additional
keystrokes to accept the change.]
NAME the model.
P. 27.
(Note that you do not need to do
anything to
“
save
”
or store this data.)
REVERSE servos as needed for proper
control operation.
P. 31.
In the BASIC menu, open the
PARAMETER submenu.
Go to MODEL TYPE.
Select proper MODEL TYPE. Ex:
GLID1FLAP.
Confirm the change.
Close the PARAMETER submenu.
In the BASIC menu, open the MODEL
submenu.
Go to MODEL NAME.
Input aircraft’s name.
Close the MODEL submenu when done.
In the BASIC menu, open (servo)
REVERSE.
Choose desired servo and reverse
its direction of travel. (Ex: reverse
rudder servo.)
Turn on the transmitter.
