This Manual is divided into three specific sections:
Airplane, Sailplane and Helicopter. When writing this
manual we employed three distinctly different individuals
to write the sections that most pertained to their expertise.
The Aircraft section was written by a top notch aerobatic
pilot, the Sailplane section by a very experienced sailplane
competitor and the Helicopter Section by a member of
the 2003 USA F3C team. Each section may read and feel
slightly different because of the different personal styles
that each of these authors has used.
In this manual you will find the specifications for the radio
and its various components and accessories. In addition,
guidelines for the installation have been included.
Instructions for setting all the functions and programs are
presented in the three sections of the manual: Airplane,
Helicopter and Sailplane. These features are discussed
in the same order that they would normally be needed to
set up a typical aircraft, helicopter and 6 servo winged
sailplane respectively. An explanation of the use and
purpose of each feature is provided, followed by a labeled
illustration of its respective LCD display.
A blank data sheet has been included at the end of each
section. Once all data has been input for a particular
model, it is highly recommended that you record it on a
copy of the sheet provided.
The computer-designed, ergonomically-styled transmitter
case ensures a comfortable fit in your hands. You will also
be introduced to our exclusive “Rolling Selector” on the
face of the transmitter for fast and effortless movement
through any programming sequence. The ultra-precision
control sticks offer adjustable spring tensions and
length. The throttle stick offers a ratchet in Airplane/
Sailplane configuration. 30-model memory storage
allows programming of all parameters of thirty separate
airplanes, helicopters or sailplanes; you can program
more than one setup for a single aircraft, allowing you to
instantly change the flight characteristics.
R770 (Basic Air and Sailplane Systems)
The R770 is a high-performance PCM single-conversion
receiver with 10KHz super narrow band ABC&W circuitry.
A narrow band ceramic filter for high-signal selectivity
assists in rejecting cross modulations from other common
radio frequencies, such as RC transmitters or local paging
systems.
This receiver features Direct Servo Control (DSC) for
control of servos without radio frequency output.
The receiver has low current consumption.
The R770’s Slimline design allows it to fit into most
model applications.
R649 (Advanced Air, Basic & Advanced
Helicopter Systems)
The R649 is a high-performance PCM single-conversion
receiver with 10KHz super narrow band ABC&W circuitry.
A narrow band ceramic filter for high-signal selectivity
assists in rejecting cross modulations from other common
radio frequencies, such as RC transmitters or local paging
systems.
This receiver features Direct Servo Control (DSC) for
control of servos without radio frequency output.
The receiver has low current consumption.
The R649’s credit card size design allows it to fit into most
model applications.
