4. Digital Trims
Your System X radio features electronic digitally controlled trim keys as opposed to conventional, mechanically operated trim
levers. This digital trim feature allows for very precise trim movements that are just not possible with mechanical trim levers. A
typical radio system with mechanical trim levers may have 20 to 30 trim
clicks available to the pilot for trim purposes, the
System X has 50 trim positions possible. Setting the trims is quite similar to conventional radios with the exception that for each
input, either plus or minus, you will hear a short beep to let you know that a change has been made by the trim key. You may
also hold the trim key down for large amounts of trim movement. Each time you use the trims, the setting will appear on the LCD
screen for a short period, after which the screen will return to Operational Mode display. To review how much trim has been
used, depress the trim key for the desired channel you wish to review and the value will be displayed on the LCD screen. Your
System X system will automatically save the information, even after changing to a different model in memory.
5. System Overview and Menu Defaults
In order to take full advantage of the System X radio programming, you will need to take a few moments to become familiar with

1. The LCD display
2. The 3 main input keys (UP, DN/TIMER, CUT/SAVE keys)
3. Rudder (CH4 ) trim key
4. Aileron (CH1) trim key
5. Main Power switch
