3. Attach the ratchet spring:
Attach the ratchet spring to
one end of the plastic pillar,
and set the desired spring
force by screwing the M3
screw in or out at the brass
stud.
4. If you wish to re-convert the
stick to self-neutralising action, fi rst remove the
ratchet spring and slightly loosen the centring
force adjustor screw: see right picture. Re-con-
nect the neutralising lever, and slip a length of thin
thread through the top loop of the spring (don’t tie
a knot). Now use a pair of tweezers to connect the
bottom loop of the spring to the adjustment sys-
tem (see close-up picture below). Finally connect
the top end of the spring to the neutralising lever
using the thread. Once the spring is in the correct
position, the thread can be withdrawn again.
The software also has to be “informed” of the change
in stick mode; this can be carried out separately for
each model in the » Base setup model « menu (pa-
ges 64 / 66). To set the stick mode for the transmitter
as a whole, i. e. so that it applies to all newly set-up
model memories, use the »
General basic settings «
menu (page 154).
Stick centring force
The tension of the stick unit centring springs can be
adjusted to suit your personal preference: the adjust-
ment system is located adjacent to each centring
spring.
Rotate the adjustment screw with a cross-point screw-
driver to set your preferred spring force:
Turn to the right (clockwise) = spring force harder;
Turn to the left (anti-clockwise) = spring force softer.

Changing the mode of the dual-axis proportional
stick units
Either stick can be converted from self-neutralising to
non self-neutralising (ratchet) action. First open the
transmitter as already described.
If you wish to switch the standard self-neutralising ac-
tion to non self-neutralising, use this procedure:
1. Locate the brass stud supplied in the set, and
screw it to the left or right stick unit as required
using a 4 mm box spanner (see double arrow in
the picture below).
2. Use a pair of tweezers to dis-
connect the spring from the
neutralising arm of the appro-
priate stick unit, raise the lever
and disconnect this too.
