Both the throttle (left-hand) stick and throttle trim MUST be in their lowest possible position
in order for the 3-in-1 unit to arm. The “Idle Up” flight mode switch must also be in the
“Normal” position with the switch toggled toward the back of the transmitter for the unit to
arm. (see pages 37–38 for more information)
If this is the first test flight, or a test flight following repairs, you will also want to center the
rudder, aileron and elevator trims.

After confirming that the transmitter has been turned on and has an adequate level of battery
power as displayed by the LEDs at the top of the transmitter, it is now safe to connect the flight
battery to the 3-in-1 unit.
With battery power applied, the 3-in-1 unit status LED will blink red, then blink green. It is
extremely important that during this time of calibration the helicopter is not moved or swayed
in order for the gyro to properly initialize.
If the helicopter was moved or swayed during this
time, unplug the flight battery and repeat the initialization process.
When the status LED becomes solid green, the unit is armed and ready for flight. Use
caution as both the main and tail rotors will now run with throttle stick input. For safety, once
the unit is armed, the main and tail motors will not run with the throttle stick and trim in their
lowest positions. Do not advance the throttle stick until you are clear of the rotor blades and
ready to fly.
