10X MANUAL Heli
Using This Manual
JR’s PCM10X offers the ultimate in programming capability while still retaining the “user friendliness” for which JR’s original PCM10, 10S,
10Sx, and 10SxII systems are known. While many of the screens are similar to the previous generation systems, it’s important that you read
and understand this manual to fully appreciate and take advantage of the capabilities of the features available with the
PCM10X.
Your new JR PCM10X is also equipped with JR’s new innovative 3+1 Digital Trim System. These new 3+1 Digital Trims offer the best of
both worlds—digital trim levers on aileron, elevator, and rudder for maximum efficiency and precision, while retaining the mechanical trim
on the throttle for safety and immediate visual reference.
Refer to the Table of Contents below to find out where to look for answers to your particular questions. The features are discussed in the same
order as they appear on the LCD of your screen (numerically). An explanation of the use and purpose of each feature is provided, followed by
a labeled illustration of its LCD display. Additionally, a step-by-step example is included to clarify the set-up procedure of the feature.
You will find a blank data sheet at the end of this manual. Once you have entered all data for a particular model, we recommend that you also
record it on the data sheet. If you should experience a memory battery failure or wish to make changes to the current settings, this extra step
will save you a lot of time.
