9 CHANNEL 2.4GHz AIRCRAFT COMPUTER RADIO SYSTEM
************ IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING TIPS ************
Reset, the best hint of all
As you program a model into any computer radio, especially one as sophisticated as the Aurora 9X, it is easy to make a mistake. If “things”
just are not working the way they should, start over. There are thirty model memories in the Aurora 9X. Start a new model or Reset the
current one in the System-MDL Sel. menu. You will lose all the programming you have done for that model up to that point, but starting
over is the best “cure” for 90% of all “problems” modelers have with programming issues.
With very complex models, it would be wise to “save” a programming sequence by periodically using the Copy option in the model select
menu.
Switches
The functions that you program into the Aurora 9X will be “on” all the time, noted as NULL on the specific features menu screen. All these
features can be toggled on or off using a two position switch, or several different values can be applied to some features using three
position switches. While still other functions like Camber are applied to a slider and their movement dialed-in as needed.
All these different methods for selecting and formatting switches and other control functions are described on page 68 in the manual
rather than being repeated throughout the document on every other page.
Flight conditions or Idle-Up
Idle-up is a function of the flight condition feature. The Aurora 9X programming offers the use of one “normal”, four “idle-up” modes and a
hold condition. Use the flight condition feature to apply different rate values for the gyro, governor, pitch and throttle curves, and most
other critical functions within each “condition”. As you travel the Aurora learning curve, we encourage you to explorer how the flight
condition/Idle-up function can influence almost every feature of the Aurora. Of major note will be the C (combined) and S (separate)
options that deliver an almost infinite number of programming combinations.
Selecting a Servo or Channel to Adjust the Value
There are three ways to select a servo to adjust;

3 Axis Control Definitions
Within the Aurora 9X programming, you will see the fixed wing generic terms for our traditional 3 axis heli control functions.
Elev = Pitch
Aile = Roll
Rudd = Yaw or tail rotor control
Throttle Lock
The Aurora 9X features a "throttle lock" function that can be activated when the transmitter is transmitting a signal.
We encourage you to apply the throttle lock as a safety precaution against "accidental throttle application".

Tip
a. Turn the throttle lock on and off from the home page by pressing the
Model
icon for two seconds.
Throttle lock is confirmed when the “THRO Lock” icon is displayed.
