Power System Requirements
Inadequate power systems that do not provide the necessary
minimum voltage to the receiver during flight are the number one
cause of in-flight failures. Some of the power system components
that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:
• Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state
of charge)
• TheESC’scapabilitytodelivercurrenttothereceiverinelectric
aircraft
• The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators, etc.
Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
If a questionable power system is being used (e.g., a small or old
battery,anESCthatmaynothaveaBECthatwillsupporthigh-
current draw, etc.), perform the following test with a voltmeter.
The Hangar 9
®
DigitalServo&RxCurrentMeter(HAN172)orthe
Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) work well for this test.
Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and,
with the system on, load the control surfaces (apply pressure
with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The
voltage should remain above 4.8 volts even when all servos are
heavily loaded.
CAUTION: When charging Ni-MH batteries, make sure the
battery fully charges. Ni-MH batteries charged with peak
detection fast chargers have a tendency to false peak (i.e. not fully
charge), which could lead to a crash.

You establish failsafe positions when you bind your transmitter and
receiver. If the radio signal connection is lost between the transmitter
and receiver, the receiver immediately moves the aircraft control
surfacestothefailsafepositions.IfyouassignthereceiverTHRO
channel to a transmitter channel other than throttle, we recommend
using Preset failsafe with the throttle in the low position.
NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver. Always consult
the receiver instruction manual for failsafe features.
Before flight, ALWAYS confirm the failsafe functions as you would
expect.
SmartSafe
TM
Failsafe
SmartSafe failsafe is a technology that only acts on the throttle
channel and offers the following benefits:
• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver power
is on and the transmitter power is off.
• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is
moved to the low throttle position.
• Powers off an electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to
idle if signal is lost.
To Program SmartSafe, move the throttle to the low or off position
before putting the transmitter into bind mode.
To Test the SmartSafe failsafe
1. Power the transmitter and receiver on.
2. Power off the transmitter. The throttle should immediately
move to the failsafe position.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the
ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, your aircraft might
advance to mid or full throttle.
Hold Last Command
TheHoldLastCommandfailsafemaintainsthelastcommandon
allchannelsexceptthrottle.Iftheradiosignalislost,theaircraft
maintains the commanded heading until the receiver regains signal.
ToprogramHoldLastCommand,followtheprovidedbinding
instructions in this instruction manual.
To Test Hold Last Command:
1. Power on the transmitter and receiver.
2. Move one of the control sticks to the desired Hold Last
Commandpositionandholdtheinput.
3.Whileholdingthecontrolinput(forexample,asmallamountof
rudder) power off the transmitter. The rudder should maintain
the input command.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the
ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft throttle
might advance to mid or full throttle.
Preset Failsafe
The Preset failsafe moves all channels to their programmed failsafe
positions.
We recommend using Preset failsafe to deploy spoilers on sailplanes
to prevent a flyaway if the radio signal is lost.
To program Preset failsafe:
1. Insert the bind plug in the bind port on the receiver and power
on the receiver.
2. Remove the bind plug when the orange LED on the main
receiver and all attached remote receivers flash rapidly. The
orange receiver LEDs will continue flashing.
3. Move the transmitter control sticks and switches to the
desired Preset failsafe position. Power the transmitter on.
4. Failsafe programming is complete when the orange LEDs on
the transmitter and all receivers turn solid.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the
ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft throttle
might advance to mid or full throttle.

Sequencer
TheSequencermenuoptionprovidesthis-then-thatmixingwitha
time delay. Two different sequences (S1 through S2) are available
to control 2 functions each (A and B), in 2 timing directions
(forward or reverse). Sequences appear throughout function
screens as assignable switches.
CAUTION: Always review the action of a sequence on the
MonitorscreenBEFOREoperatingthemodeltoensure
controls act as desired. Failure to do so could cause a crash,
resulting in property damage and or injury.
You can program multiple functions to sequentially activate in
responsetoanassignedswitch.Forexample,anassignedGear
switch can open gear doors, lower the gear, then close the doors.
In reverse, gear doors open, the gear retracts and the gear doors
close.
You can assign each Sequencer function to a switch in most
FunctionscreenssuchasFlightMode,DualRate,Mixing,Throttle
Curve,PitchCurve,etc.
You can assign several functions to a sequence to decrease
thenumberofcontrolsyouneedtotouchduringcomplexight
transitions—forexample,applyingyourassigneddualratesand
exponentialwhenthelandinggeardeploysandtheightmode

If you select an S-Number-A sequence (e.g. S2A), the sequence
operates as a timed 5-position switch. An S-Number-B sequence
operates as a timed 3-position switch. The 5 positions correspond
to the sequencer values shown on the time delay graph in the
second Sequencer screen. In a function screen, highlight each
point (0–4) and select the switch position desired for a function to
be active.
When S1B (or another sequence-number-B) is selected as
a switch in a function, the sequence will operate as a timed
3-positionswitch.The3positionsactas‘kickpoints’ofthe

Sequencer SetUp
1. In the first Sequencer screen, select 1 of the 2 available
sequences.
2. In the second Sequencer screen, assign a switch to the
sequence. We recommend using a 2-position switch.
Tip: If you need to use a 3-position switch, you must assign
one direction to two adjacent switch positions—e.g., 0 and 1.
Assign the opposite direction to the third switch position.
3. Assign the timing for the Forward and Reverse directions as
desired. There is no delay when you use the Nor option. You
may also select a delay time between 0 and 30 seconds.
4. Assign names for each sequencer function as desired.
5. Select either Step (S) or Proportional (P) for the Sequencer
output.
Step:Thesequenceonlychangesatkickpoints.Otherwise,
thereisadelayinthesequenceuntilitreachesthenextkick
point.
Proportional: The sequence movement is proportional be-
tween kick points. The sequence maintains rate and direction
untilitreachesthenextkickpoint.
6. Adjust the Sequencer motion percentages in the third screen.
Forexample,youmaymovepoints1,2and3closertothe
beginning of the sequence so the motion occurs earlier. This
results in a delay between point 3 and point 4 at the end of the
sequence.

The Sequencer function determines the response for channels
included in the sequence.

PHYSICAL TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENTS
Transmitter Mode Conversion
You can change transmitter modes among Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
This conversion requires both a programming and a mechanical
change.
Programming Conversion:
1. Access the System Settings menu from the Setup List and
select the desired Mode. If you are changing between Modes
2/4or1/3,youcanSTOPafterStep1.
2.ExittheSystemSettingsmenutosavetheselection.
3. Power off the transmitter and remove the transmitter battery pack.
After you change the transmitter Mode in the Setup List, you will
need to make mechanical changes to the transmitter gimbals.
CAUTION: Always power off the transmitter, disconnect and remove the battery before adjusting stick tension or friction straps. Not
doing so could result in property damage or injury.
Mechanical conversion is required to change between Modes 1 and 2 or between Modes 3 and 4. The mechanical conversion consists
of the following steps:
1. Change the Throttle Ratchet
2. Adjust the Elevator Centering Screw
3. Move the Throttle Limit Wedges

6. Install the boards using the four screws.
7. Install the cages on the gimbals using the eight screws.
Adjusting the Elevator Centering Screw
When changing between Modes 1 and 2, or between Modes 3
and 4, you must adjust the elevator centering screw.
1. Hold the Elevator or Throttle stick in the full up or full down
position when you are adjusting the elevator centering screw.
Holding the gimbal stick reduces the load on the elevator
centering mechanism and makes it easier to adjust the
centering screw.
2. Locate the gimbal where the elevator centering spring is
engaged. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the elevator
centering screw. Tightening the screw will disengage the
centering spring.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the opposite elevator
centering screw until the lever engages.

3. After adjustment of stick length, tighten the setscrew.
Adjust Stick Tension
Adjust stick tension using the screws on the stick gimbals through
holes in the back of the transmitter.
1. Pull up the top of the rear grip on the back of the transmitter
toadjustthestickgimbaltension.Onlythetopofthegrip
must be pulled up to access the adjustment screw. The entire
grip does not need to be removed.
2. Turn the screws in these holes marked with a vertical or
horizontal arrow a small amount using a small Phillips
screwdriver.
NOTICE: Always do a test of stick tension while turning these
screws to ensure stick tension is not too loose or too tight.
Tightening a screw too much can damage a spring. Loosening a
screw too much can let a spring fall off and cause short-circuit in
the transmitter.
CAUTION: Always power off the transmitter, disconnect and
remove the battery before adjusting stick tension or friction
straps. Not doing so could result in property damage or injury.
Adjust Throttle Friction Straps
To adjust Throttle Friction:
1. Remove rubber plugs from holes on the back of the
