VG6000
TRAINER SYSTEM
The Trainer system in the VG6000 transmitter allows you to connect any two Airtronics RD series
transmitters together for the purpose of training a new pilot. You can also connect the VG6000 to either
VG 400, VG 600, Radiant or Vanguard PPM unit. The Trainer cord to use is the ATX Part # 97100.
The VG6
000 is NOT compatible with Infinity 660 or Quasar units.
In actual use, one of the two transmitters will serve as the Master and the second transmitter will serve
as the Trainer. The Master transmitter is held by the instructing pilot, AND IS THE TRANSMITTER THAT
MUST MATCH THE RECEIVER FREQUENCY INSTALLED IN THE MODEL! The trainer transmitter is held
by the learning pilot, and does not need to be on the same frequency as the model. The frequency of the
Trainer transmitter is unimportant because the switch of the trainer transmitter is NOT turned on during
instructional flying. Normally during training, the instructor takes the model off and flies it to a reasonable
altitude. While the Master/Trainer switch on the Instructors transmitter is left in its OFF position, the
Master transmitter will have full control of the model. When the instructor is ready to begin training, he
presses and holds the spring loaded switch on his transmitter which transfers control to the student.
(As long as the instructor holds his Trainer switch in the ON position, the model will respond to the
commands of the Trainer transmitter sticks allowing the student to fly the model. It is not necessary for
the student to hold the trainer switch on the Trainer transmitter.)
When the instructor ceases to stop training, or if he feels that the student is in a situation that endangers the
model, the instructor can release the spring loaded switch and control of the model will immediately return
to the Master transmitter. To use the Trainer system, you must plug the appropriate Trainer cable into the
back of both the Master and the Trainer transmitters. Turn on the Master transmitter and the Model. The
cable will energize the encoder section of the Trainer transmitter. Once you have verified that both the Master
and the Trainer transmitters will control the model with the spring loaded switch in the appropriate position
you are ready to start training.
NOTE:
Both transmitters must be programmed identically for the trainer system to function properly. All servos
must operate in the same direction, centering, end points, and other settings such as type of Modulation
must be identical.
