Please read the warranty card supplied with your system and return it. Before you decide to have your system repaired, if there is no 
apparent physical damage, read this instruction manual again and check to be sure that you are operating the system as it was designed to 
be operated. If you are still having trouble, pack up your system in its original shipping materials and send it to the nearest authorized ACE 
RC R/C Service Center. 
Be sure to include a note in your package that describes the trouble in as much detail as possible, including: symptoms of the problem in as 
much detail as you can provide, including any unusual mounting conditions or equipment orientation, a list of items you are sending, and what 
you want to be repaired.  Make sure you also provide your name, address and telephone number.

The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
For protection, wrap the receiver in the "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other vibration-absorbing materials.  
If your flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the 
bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam. If you accidentally get moisture inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent 
operationor a crash.

When you are ready to install the receiver's switch harness, remove the switch cover and use it as a template to cut screw holes and a 
rectangular hole slightly larger than the full stroke of the switch.  
Choose a switch location on the opposite side of the fuselage from the engine exhaust, and choose a location where it can't be inadvertently 
turned on or off during handling or storage.  Install the switch so that it moves without restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF and vice versa.

Once you have installed the servos, operate each one over its full travel and check that the pushrod and 
output arms do not bind or collide with each other, even at extreme trim settings.  
Check to see that each control linkage does not require undue force to move (if you hear a servo buzzing 
when there is no transmitter control motion, most likely there is too much friction in the control or pushrod). 
Even though the servo will tolerate loads like this, they will drain the battery pack much more rapidly.

When you mount each servo, use the supplied rubber grommets and insert an eyelet up through the 
bottom. Be sure not to over tighten the screws. 
If any portion of the servo case directly contacts the fuselage or the servo rails, the rubber grommets 
will not be able to attenuate vibration, which can lead to mechanical wear and possible servo failure. 

The Sky Tech TS6i

+

 can be used with most of the ACE RC’s existing AFHSS (Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) 2.4GHz 

receivers.   
Providing the hobbyists with the latest technology at an affordable price has always been ACE RC’s primary goal, a goal that we have now 
achieved in 2.4GHz technology.

The TRS603DD antenna system is made for high directivity consisting of two antennas. In order to maximize the functions of the TRS603DD, 
please install as shown below.

Be sure the alignment of a servo or battery connector is correct before inserting it into the receiver. To remove a connector from the receiver, 
try to pull on the connector's plastic housing rather than pulling on the wires. Pulling the wires can ruin the connector pins and break wires.

If any of your servos are located too far away to plug directly into the receiver (like the aileron servo), or you need to unplug the servo each time 
you disassemble the model, use a servo extension cord to extend the length of the servo lead.  Additional ACE RC extension cords of varying 
lengths are available from your hobby dealer.

Our 2.4GHz system utilizes the latest AFHSS technology and our exclusive Scan Mode system to ensure a rock solid, interference-free 
connection between the transmitter and receiver. When selected, ACE RC’s 2.4GHz Scan Mode function scans the 2.4GHz spectrum to find 
the cleanest channels in which to operate, providing interference-free operation even in the most crowded environments.

Never cut the antenna, such behavior will seriously reduce 
the reception range. 

Never pinch or bend the antenna, such behavior will cause 
serious damage to the antenna. 
Changing the length of the antenna reduces range.

to walk away at least 75 feet from the model without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos. The range 
check should be done with the motor running and the model should be securely restrained in case of loss 
of control.
