A QUICK GUIDE: GETTING STARTED WITH A
BASIC
4-CHANNEL AIRCRAFT
This guide is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and
to give you some ideas and direction in how to do even more than you may have already considered. It follows our basic
format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what we accomplish; a “by name” description of what we're
doing to help acquaint you with the radio; then a step-by-step instruction to leave out the mystery when setting up your
model.
For additional details on each function, see that function's section in this manual. The page numbers are indicated in the
goals column as a convenience to you.
See p.17 for a legend of symbols used.
