The Model Function menu contains options that relate to all model types (common) as well as options
which are specific to fixed wing models (ACRO/GLID) or helicopters (HELI). This section illustrates the
common model function options. The features specific to fixed wing or helicopter model types are
covered in Section Five and Section Six respectively.
Common Model Programming Menu
If you have not already programmed a model with the preceding quick start guide, we
encourage you to do so before tackling the model programming section of the manual.
Note
Tip Tip
Tip Caution
From the Model Function menu, you can program the following common functions:
REVERSE: Specify the direction that a servo will travel with a given control input.
SUB TRIM: Fine-tune the neutral point of a servo.
D/R & EXP: Specify Dual-Rate and Exponential settings for control surface servos.
EPA: Specify the servo travel limits for channels 1-7.
S.Speed:
Specify the transit speed for servos on channels 1-7.
PROG.MIX: Configure up to three user-programmable mixes.
TIMER: Configure two user-programmable timers.
MONITOR: Observe graphic feedback to control inputs.
Working with the Common Model Function Menus
1. Turn on the transmitter. When prompted with the “ready to
transmit?” message, highlight “NO” and press the jog dial.
2. To access the model function menu, press and hold the jog
dial.
3. The menu options shown reflect the parameters defined for
the active model in the model type menu (Model Type, Wing,
Tail, Swash). Common model items are integrated with the
fixed-wing and helicopter-specific options in the menu.
The Reverse screen allows you to specify the direction of servo rotation for channels 1-7 of the active
model.
Reverse
1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “REVERSE” and press
the jog dial once to enter the reverse menu.
2. Scroll to the channel to be reversed and press the jog dial to
activate the selections:
NOR (default): Normal rotation.
REV: Reverse rotation.
3. Once you have chosen the desired direction, press the jog dial
to confirm your selection.
4. Press the back button to return to the model menu.
The Sub Trim menu is used to make very fine adjustments to the center point, or “neutral point” of a
servo. It is typically preferable to have the servo arm 90° to the pushrod at the neutral point. Use sub trim
settings to attain this orientation. Then, adjust the length of the pushrod to achieve the desired neutral
control surface position.
Sub Trim
1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “SUB TRIM” and press
the jog dial once to enter the sub trim menu.
2. Scroll to the channel to be adjusted and press the jog dial to
activate the menu.
3. Rotate the jog dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to alter the
servo neutral point.
4. Once you have achieved the desired neutral point, press the
jog dial to confirm your change.
5. Press the back button to return to the model menu.
