Five Channel with Dual Aileron Channels
For a 5-channel model with separate aileron channels, plug the Right aileron servo into the right-hand connector
(channel 2) and Left aileron servo into the left-hand connector (channel 6). Choose Dual Ail in the Spektrum
Aircraft Type menu.
Connecting the Microbrick
Motor/ESC/Battery connections can be soldered directly to the pads on the PC board to minimize weight. Lemon
supply the Microbrick in a variety of configurations, either with battery leads already installed and a Nano
1.27mm connector for brushed motors or with a 5-
pin, 0.1” 90° header which is convenient for brushless
installations (the 5-pin 90° header variant is shown below).
With a Microbrick as delivered, using a default ACRO model on generation 2 or later Spektrum transmitter,

results in correct control directions for Throttle, Channel 5 (Mode) switch, and Channel 8 (Master Gain) knob.
That is, throttle stick up increases speed, switch (A) forward turns on stabilization, knob clockwise increases
Master Gain. The other channels are really arbitrary as far as direction goes. In other words, if you do not require
the stabilization function, it is ready to go out of the box. One tip: do not attach the servo arms until the receiver
is bound to the transmitter and working. Then it is possible to attach at 90° when sticks are neutral.
Setting Up the Microbrick

ere’s a step
-by-step guide to preparing and flying the Microbrick.
These basic instructions assume you are using a recent Spektrum transmitter. If you are using an open-source
firmware transmitter, such as a Taranis or TX16s with OpenTX or ErSkyTX firmware, there is a separate
document entitled “
Using the Microbrick with
other Transmitters”
