1) To set the UP elevator motion, press on the Right CURSOR
button until CH "2" is flashing.
Now move the right stick all the way toward the transmitter
bottom and hold it. The letters "L/U" should appear above
the percentage value. (Indicating you are setting "U", the
UPWARD motion of the elevator-which also happens to be
the upward movement of the control surface.
Again listen for a buzzing sound to indicate that the servo is
stalling, and hit the -Decrease DATA button until the buzzing
stops. If the servo is not buzzing, leave the setting at 100%.
2) Repeat the previous step to set the DOWN elevator by
moving the stick all the way toward the top of the transmitter
(R/D will light up). While the elevator is in full down position,
check for binding and buzzing and reduce the travel value as
necessary.
1) To set the throttle position at IDLE, first return to the regular
display (push both DATA buttons) and push the trim button
to the right of left-hand joystick to set the throttle trim to read
0% on the screen.
2) Then go back to the EPA menu and press the Right
CURSOR button until channel number 3 is blinking.
Now move the throttle stick all the way to the transmitter
bottom and hold it. The letters "L/U" should appear next to
the flashing percent sign. Push the -Decrease DATA button
until the servo moves the throttle plate to a nearly - but not
completely - closed engine idle position. If necessary when
testing the motor, you may increase or decrease the travel
of the servo at idle so you can't accidentally shut off the
engine using the trim tab.
3) To set the FULL throttle position, move the throttle stick all
the way to the transmitter top and hold it. The letters "R/D"
should appear next to the flashing percent sign. Listen for a
buzzing sound to indicate the servo is stalling,
and hit the -Decrease DATA button until the buzzing stops.
If the servo is not buzzing, leave the setting at 100% or
change your linkage as necessary to fully open the throttle.
1) To set the RIGHT rudder motion, press the Right CURSOR
button until the indicator moves over channel 4. Now move
the left stick all the way to the right and hold it.
The letters "R/D" should appear above the percentage value.
Listen for a buzzing sound to indicate the rudder servo is
stalling, and hit the DATA -Decrease button until the buzzing
stops. If the servo is not buzzing, leave the setting at 100%.
You may wish to increase or decrease this number
depending on how strongly the model reacts when the
rudder is deflected.
2) Now move the stick to the left side, and repeat the setting
procedure for left rudder.
Flap (or landing gear) end points
In the same manner as described above, set EPA values for
channel 5 (landing gear or flaps) if your model has these
functions.

Tip
Flight control surface travel should be published in
the manual for your specific model.
Many model manufacturers will often publish two values,
one for full rates, and one for a diminished dual rates settings.
