WARNINGS
●
Always turn the transmitter’s power switch ON before
plugging the battery into the plane.
●
The motor will not operate unless the throttle stick is
first moved to the lowest position.
●
Keep clear of propeller to prevent bodily harm.
NOTE: The Micro Calypso is equipped with an auto-linking
feature. This means the transmitter will automatically link
to the plane after they are turned on.
1. Move the throttle stick all the
way down.
2. Switch the power ON.
3. The red LED lights up and a
“beep” will be heard.
4. Connect the battery to the
ESC plug in the bottom of the
plane. Observe the correct
polarity.
5. Secure the battery on the
bottom of the Micro Calypso
fuse using the hook and loop
material.

6. Move the elevator/rudder stick (right stick) and confirm
the elevator and rudder respond correctly.
7. Move the throttle stick (left
stick) up gently to confirm the
motor/prop spin.
CAUTION: Do not run the Micro Calypso motor for more
than 15 seconds when not in flight. Running the motor for
extended times while the plane is not flying could cause
damage to the motor.

DUAL RATES
The Micro Calypso transmitter (RTF only) is equipped with
a dual rate switch which allows you to adjust the amount
of throw the elevator and rudder have. With the dual rate
switch down, you can fly on high rates (more elevator/rudder
throw for experienced pilots) or you can move the dual rate
switch up and fly on low rates (less elevator/rudder throw
for inexperienced pilots) to make the plane easier to fly.
You can also adjust the elevator and rudder throw by
changing the position of the linkage at the mounting point
on the elevator and rudder. Moving the elevator linkage to
the upper hole will increase throw and elevator response.
Moving the rudder linkage to the inner hole will increase
rudder throw and rudder response.

RUDDER / ELEVATOR CONTROL
SURFACE CENTERING
Before your first flight or after a crash you will need to check
the centering of the rudder and elevator control surfaces.
To prevent excessive transmitter trim you should first make
mechanical adjustments to the rudder and elevator servo
linkages. The linkages have a “U” shaped section in them
that can be compressed or expanded to adjust the control
