  4-channel SLT Protocol Transmitter

The Micro Calypso can be flown with Tactic transmitters (SLT 

protocol). When doing this please refer to the Tactic radio 
instructions and be aware some channels may need to be 
reversed or re-assigned for proper operation. This includes 
the throttle channel, so extra care must be taken to be sure 
the throttle direction is correct.
