RADIO INSTALLATION
RADIO CONTROLLER RECEIVER
ALTA 8 requires the installation of a radio control system. S.Bus, S.Bus2, DSM2,
DSMX, and PPM (including inverted PPM and Graupner) receiver types are
supported.
Additionally, ALTA 8 supports radio receiver diversity using S.Bus, S.Bus2, DSM2 and
DSMX receivers. This means two receivers may be installed, and the SYNAPSE flight
controller will automatically use the receiver with the best signal quality. Using two
receivers requires the radio controller to be bound to both receivers.
Refer to the instructions provided with your radio controller to complete the binding
process. For Spektrum/JR radios, a receiver is required to bind the satellites to a
radio controller.
FOR FUTABA AND PPM RECEIVERS
1. Locate the noted closeout panels used for receiver installation
(between booms 2 & 3 and 6 & 7). PPM and Graupner receivers
can only use the position between booms 2 & 3.
2. Remove side closeout panel with radio wires using a 2.0mm hex driver
