A-30

The Function Mode contains programming that is used to

complete the setup and then to adjust the aircraft’s flight

characteristics. Functions include Servo Reversing, Travel

Adjust, Dual Rate and Expo, Sub Trim, Servo Speed,

Programmable Mixes, Trainer and Timer functions, etc. Many

of these functions are frequently used to adjust the flight

characteristics during setup and at the field.

Function Mode

To Enter the Function Mode List

With the transmitter on Press LIST and the Function list will

appear.

If the aircraft is equipped with twin engines, the Twin Engine

feature (Twin E.) may be used for a 2nd throttle channel with an

optional separate digital trim.

1. Highlight and select INH next to Mate under Twin ENGIN.

A list of available channels will appear. Select the desired

channel to be used as the second throttle channel. Plug the

Left engine throttle servo into the channel selected as the

Mate. Plug the Right engine throttle servo into the throttle

channel (Ch 1).

Twin Engine

2. If the second throttle channel is to be trimmed using either

the normal throttle trim lever or a separate trim lever,

highlight and select INH next to Trim under Twin E. causing

the setting to change to ACT. When set to ACT, the 2nd

throttle servo can be trimmed with the normal throttle trim.
