KOPIS 1

 

Adjust Channel Centers 

If your channels don’t center properly, your KOPIS will drift when you 

center the sticks. To check 

whether your channels are adjusted correctly, first center your transmitter sticks.  

REMOVE THE PROPS from your KOPIS. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Plug in a LiPo to the KOPIS and plug the 

KOPIS into your computer’s USB port. 

 

In the Betaflight Configurator Receiver Tab, look at the Roll, Pitch, Yaw, and Throttle channels. These 
channels should be at exactly 1500. If they are within the range of about 1498 to 1502, then you can 
skip this step. If they are much different than 1500, you must adjust your channel center-points. 

Before you adjust channel center-points, ensure that the Trim switches on your radio are centered. The 
radio will typically indicate on the screen and with an audio tone when the trim switches are centered. 
Press each of the four trim switches and listen for the tone that the radio makes. Usually the tone will be 
higher as the trim approaches center, and there will be a long single beep when the trim is centered. 

Taranis will speak, “Trim Centered”. 

 

Adjusting Channel Center on a FlySky Radio 

Here are instructions for reversing channels on a FlySky FS-i6 radio. 

1.

 

Power on the radio.  

2.

 

Hold down the “OK” button to enter the System Setup screen.

 

3.

 

Press the Down button to highlight the Functions Setup option.  

 

4.

 

Press Ok to enter the FUNCTIONS menu. 

5.

 

Press the Down key to move the selection arrow to “Subtrim”. Press Ok.

 

6.

 

Center the transmitter sticks. The spring-loaded sticks will auto-center. You will need to 
manually center the left stick (throttle).
