Control Mode Indicator
This indicator shows which control mode is currently selected (please see the ‘Transmitter
Control Mode Selection’ section of this manual for more information). The ‘2’ indicator for
Mode 2 is located on the left side of the helicopter illustration and the ‘4’ indicator for Mode 4
is located on the right side.
Throttle Channel Output/Stick Position Indicator
This indicator shows the approximate throttle channel output/stick position.
Throttle Channel Trim Position Indicator
This indicator shows the approximate throttle channel trim position. Also, you should always
have this set to the middle or lower than the middle position (using the throttle trim lever) to
properly arm the 4 ‐ in ‐ 1 control unit ESCs and to ensure it’s possible to stop the motors/rotor
blades from spinning completely when the left ‐ hand/throttle stick is in the lowest possible
position.
Elevator Channel Output/Stick Position Indicator
This indicator shows the approximate elevator channel output/stick position.
Elevator Channel Trim Position Indicator
This indicator shows the approximate elevator channel trim position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the position of the elevator trim can be changed, because the
Chronos CX 100 is equipped with a motor for elevator control the trim has no actual effect on
the helicopter.
Rudder Channel Output/Stick Position Indicator (for Mode 2 and Mode 4)
This indicator shows the approximate rudder channel output/stick position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although rudder channel control can be set on the left ‐ hand (for Mode 2)
or right ‐ hand (for Mode 4) stick, the rudder channel output/stick position is always shown by
the same indicator (please see the ‘Transmitter Control Mode Selection’ section of this
manual for more information).
Rudder Channel Trim Position Indicator (for Mode 2 and Mode 4)
This indicator shows the approximate rudder channel trim position. The trim position should be
adjusted as needed during flight (using the rudder trim lever located below the left ‐ hand stick
for Mode 2 or below the right ‐ hand stick for Mode 4) to ensure the nose of the helicopter does
not constantly turn (yaw) left or right when ‘hovering’ and without any rudder channel/control
input.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although rudder channel control and trim can be set on the left ‐ hand (for
Mode 2) or right ‐ hand (for Mode 4) stick, the rudder channel trim position is always shown by
the same indicator (please see the ‘Transmitter Control Mode Selection’ section of this
manual for more information).
