Servo reversing
(
REVERSE
): changes the direction an
individual
servo responds to a
C
ONTROL
S
TICK
motion.
For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on
SWASH AFR
(p. 63) before reversing any servos.
Except with CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing
prior
to any
other programming. If you use pre-built
ACRO
functions that control multiple servos,
such as
FLAPERON
or
V-TAIL
, it may be confusing to tell whether the
servo
needs to be
reversed or a setting in the
function
needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each
specialized function for further details.
Always check servo direction prior to
every
flight as an additional precaution to confirm proper model memory,
hook ups, and radio function.
NOTE:
THR-REV
is a special function that reverses the entire throttle control, including moving the trim functionality to the
Stick's
upper half. To use
THR-REV
, turn off the transmitter, hold down the
M
ODE
and
E
ND
keys, turn on.

and turn the

Adjust servo travel with
END POINT
: see p. 32.
Set up dual/triple rates and exponential (
D/R,EXP
): see p. 34.
Set up flight timers: see p. 37.
Set up trainer functions: see p. 38.
Auxiliary channel function (CH5 and CH7):
defines the relationship between the transmitter
controls and the receiver output for channels 5 and 7.
Adjustability:
•
channels 5 and 7 may be assigned to any
S
WITCH
(
A-H
) or none (null).
(for example, moving flaps to a switch)
•
multiple channels may be assigned to the same switch.
•
channels set to "
NULL
" are only controlled by mixes.
Remember that if you assign primary control of a channel to a switch which you later use for other functions (like
dual/triple rates or airbrakes), every time you use that other function you will also be moving the auxiliary channel.
