Programming Guide for the JR 8103 Heli radio system
The following is a programming example for a helicopter using the 8103-heli radio. If you
follow along, several features of the 8103 will be demonstrated, which should help better understand the
abilities of the system.
System Set-Up Mode
To start with we will open a clear model, so press and hold the up and down keys together and
flip the power switch on and then release the up and down keys. Press the + and – keys to go into model
select. Press the + key until you get to a clear model. Then press the up key twice to get to the model
type. To get to the correct type, press the + key to get to HELI, if it is not already in HELI mode. Next
you will press the up key to model reset. Press CLR so that it will restore the system to factory defaults.
Press the up key to select the modulation of the system. Here you will use the + and – keys to set this to
the desired modulation. Press the up key three times, to set the input selection. Now you will press the
+ key to set the aux 2 to INH. Press the CH key so the arrow now points at GEAR. Here you will press
the + key to make this say INH. Press the UP key one time, and this will bring you to SWASH TYP.
This is where you can set the radio for CCPM. Press the + key one time for 2 servo – 180 degree, again
for 3 servo – 120 degree, and once more for 4 servo 90 degree. If you do not have a CCPM helicopter,
leave this at 1 servo NORM. If it is CCPM, choose the type of set up you have. Your instructions for
the helicopter should have this information listed as to which type it is. Then you can press the up key
till you get to the name selection, and re-name the model. At this point we have set up the system mode
for our helicopter.
Function Mode
Next we will set up the function mode of transmitter. If you are still in the system mode, just
press the up and down keys together twice, or turn the radio off and back on, and press the up and down
keys together again. This will get you into the function mode.
Dual Rate and Exponential Set-Up
Now that we are in the function mode, it brings you to the dual rate set-up. You can set these to
your desired amounts. Press the channel key to select the channel, and the + and – keys to set the rates.
I would set up the high rate at 100% and the low rate between 80% and 90%. Next press the select key
to get to the expo set up for each channel, and use the + and – keys to set the values. You can set
various values for each rate. Leave these a 0% to start with, and you can come back to these to set them
as desired after test flying the helicopter.
