  Rotation  Rate 

  Choose  the  max  rotation  rate  of  the  plane.  This  setting  will  only  take  effect  when  the  stick 

control mode is set to Auto Mode. Also see Page 9 for more details about stick control mode. 

  Max Tilt Angle 

  Choose the max tilt angle of the plane. The setting will only take effect when the stick control 

model is set to Auto Mode. Also see Page 9 for more details about stick control mode. 

  Stick Deadband 

  The dead band is the range around the very center of the sticks at where the controller will not 

react.  Some  transmitters  have  the  problem  that  when  the  sticks  are  brought  back  after  an  input,  they  are  not 

exactly  at  the  same  center  position  as  before  which  may  generate  a  deviation  on  the  corresponding  function, 

although the sticks seems to be in the middle. This parameter can be adjusted between 0% and 10%, the default 

setting is 5%. You can set it higher if it is difficult to find the stick center position even the stick centering function 

has been applied already. The dead band setting is for all channels. 

  S..Bus Channels 

  When you are using a S.Bus connection, you need to tell the controller that which channel is 

using for aileron, or elevator and so on. The controller should be told with the channel mapping before it can work 

properly. For example, if you are using channel 5 for the flight mode switch function, you have to select CH5 to the 

input [MOD]. If you are using channel 6 for the second aileron, you have to select CH6 to the input [AIL2]. Select 

“None” to tell the controller that you don’t want to use this channel. 

  Stick Centering 

  Stick centering is used to calibrate and re-learn the new center position of the sticks. Usually, in 

the first flight, you need to make a little trim to make the plane flying properly. Once the trims are set on your 

transmitter.  You  need  to  land  the  plane  and  perform  a  stick  centering  so  the  controller  can  re-learn  the  new 

adjustments that were just made. The stick centering is only for channels of aileron, elevator, rudder, aileron2 and 

elevator2, the mode and gain channels will be ignored when calibrating. And for those channels unconnected, the 

controller will skip them automatically. Stick centering needs only 1 second, while calibrating, the LED will blink 

WHITE rapidly. 

 

Power-on Automatic Stick Centering 

A3X Pro E.

 will perform a stick centering automatically every time it starts, so you can change the trims anytime you 

need, the new center positions will be re-learned and saved in the next time it starts. Remember to keep all sticks 

(except  throttle)  in  their  middle  position  before  power  on  the  controller,  and  don’t  move  them  during 

initialization. 

 

Perform a centering by toggling the switch 

If  you  don’t  want  to  reboot  the  controller,  you  can  perform  a  quick  centering  by  fast  toggling  the  flight  mode 

switch twice (or more) within 1 second.   

 

 

 

  VERY IMPORTANT! 

1

 

If the servos drift to one side slowly when switching to 3D mode, you have to perform a stick centering. 

2

 

NEVER perform a stick centering when in a flight! It can be dangerous because you may probably lost 

control of your plane for 1 second!
