SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION
Check the general operation of the system and all flight equipment
before attempting a flight.
WARNING!
During all pre-flight preparations with the
aircraft on the ground, make sure the throttle stick
remains at the minimum position and do not stand the Tx upright
on the ground. Carefully lay the Tx on its back on the ground to
prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging the throttle
stick from the low position which would create a safety hazard.
Make sure all devices are properly mounted inside the model,
and all wiring connections are solid to prevent them from easily
becoming dislodged during normal flight. It’s best to check the
system with the propeller removed from the aircraft.
Channel Mapping:
If controls in the model do not function according
to the control inputs from the Tx, reset the system by repeating all
steps in the AnyLink Operation section on page 4. Proceed to the next
step once all channels are mapped properly.
Range Check:
Determine the safe operating distance from the Tx to
the Rx. With the assistance of another person, place the aircraft on the
ground and walk 100 feet (30m) away from the model. Confi rm that
smooth, interference-free control of all surfaces exists.
Failsafe Check:
If using the failsafe feature on a Tactic Rx, test for
proper operation as follows:
1. Prepare a way to quickly disconnect the battery/ESC connection if
power needs to be cut immediately.
2. Have an assistant hold the aircraft in place on a test stand, with
hands away from the motor.
3. Apply power to the system and test the motor and fl ight gear for
general operation.
4. Remove power from the Tx/AnyLink: turn off the power switch on
Futaba/Hitec transmitters, or for JR/Spektrum transmitters disconnect
AnyLink’s power plug from the Tx charge jack.
