"SW-1" switch
Depending on the initial set-up base-line programming you have
selected, this switch can be used to lower landing gear; operate
the throttle of an electric motor (as on a powered glider); or select
a flight condition mode.
In Heli mode, this is the throttle hold switch.
"SW-2" switch
This is your "Dual-rate" switch: The "0" position typically selects
the full rate of movement of the aileron, elevator and rudder while
the "1" position selects the diminished rate you have programmed
in the model setup menu. The exponential values for these control
surfaces are also selected by this switch.
"SW-3 FLT MODE" switch
This switch allows you to choose three different "flight condition
modes"-an advanced programming function. In Heli mode this
switch selects the NOR, or "hover", and 2 "idle-up" or stunt modes
"Eng Cut"/"Trainer" switch
If you've activated the engine cut function in the
model setup menu
programming, this button serves as the kill-switch for your motor.
Otherwise, it functions as the trainer switch when your transmitter
is linked via a cable to a second transmitter to act as a "buddy box"
for flight training.
As long as you hold down the training button the buddy box will
be flying the model-let go of the button and your transmitter reverts
to being the master.
Trim switches
Use these switches to make small offset adjustments to the
servos controlled by the two joysticks.
Any adjustments will be "memorized" for this particular model
so you won't have to re-trim every time you fly.
Joystick Controls
Again assuming the "Mode 2" configuration, this stick controls the
rudder (left and right) and the throttle (forward and back-back is off
for electric motors and idle for glow). If you have selected "GLID"
as the transmitter's programming baseline in the
initial setup menu
than the stick's forward and back movement controls the ailerons
and flaps for the model's descent control (called "CROW").
Right-hand joystick
Left-hand joystick
Assuming you have selected "Mode 2" in the initial setup menu
(the most common control arrangement in North America),
this stick controls the elevator (forward is down and back toward
you is up) and the ailerons (left and right).
