Radio Climb
Rate Clamp
microseconds (µs)
RC pulse width 1000-2000
µs
where increasing values are for
increased allowable climb rate
Safety Disarm
microseconds (µs)
RC pulse width 1000-2000µs
where values near:
1000µs = Off - Disarming possible
1500µs = Off - Disarming possible
2000µs = On - Disarming not possible
Target
microseconds (µs)
RC pulse width 1000-2000µs
where values near:
1000µs = Set Orbit Center Point
1500µs = Orbit Off
2000µs = Orbit On
