Transmitter Setup
†
Some of the terminology and function locations used in the
iX12 and iX20
programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum AirWare™ radios.
The names given in parentheses correspond to the
iX12 and iX20
programming
terminology. Consult your transmitter manual for specific information about
programming your transmitter.
‡
The settings provided above for the DX6 and DX6e do not allow for the use of a SAFE Select
switch. To use a SAFE Select switch on these systems see the section below for transmitter
setup and operation information.
IMPORTANT:
After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and
receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
The BNF Basic version of this model has a built in aileron to rudder mix, when
the ailerons are deflected the rudder will move.
IMPORTANT:
The included receiver has been programmed specifically for
operation in this aircraft.
If your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle cut feature. Always engage
throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.
Dual Rates
Low rate is recommended for the initial flights.
NOTICE:
To ensure AS3X
®
technology functions properly, do not lower rate
values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of
the pushrods on the servo arm.
NOTICE:
If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide for more information.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
Transmitter Telemetry Setup
If the transmitter that you intend to use with this aircraft is not displaying
