The advantage of the plastic wrap is the protection against fuel or oil in
the event of a major crash. The disadvantage of the plastic, especially if
you run the model in very hot and humid conditions or wet days, is that
moisture can accumulate inside the receiver.
CAUTION
Any contact with moisture i.e. water or condensation may cause
malfunction and loss of control.
HELPFUL HINT
If you choose to wrap your receiver in both foam and a plastic bag,
it is recommended to periodically remove the receiver from your
model, remove the foam and bag to let the receiver "air out". This
maintenance procedure will let you determine if any moisture is
accumulating in the protective wrap. Small holes cut into the bag will
allow airflow into the receiver, and eliminate the need for the periodic
checks, although you will lose a certain amount of protection against
fuel or oil with this step.
Battery installation
Always wrap the battery pack in foam, and mount it in the location specified
in your models instructions. It is also recommended to wrap the battery
pack in a plastic bag, as its location (close to engine and fuel tank) makes
fuel proofing vital.
Switch installation
Pick the most convenient location for your on/off switch as required by
your particular model. Always mount the switch on the opposite side of the
engine exhaust. After mounting the switch, carefully bundle any excess
servo wires with cable ties, keeping them away from any moving item
(pushrod, servo arm, etc.) that could catch and cut the wires. Any empty
space in your fuselage radio compartment can be filled with excess foam.

1. Power On
a) Turn On/Off
After installing the transmitter
batteries, turn on the transmitter
power by sliding up the switch
located on the front middle
position of the transmitter. The
LED light turns “RED”. To turn off
the power, slide down the switch,
the LED indicator light will turn off.
b) Low Battery Power Warning
If the transmitter battery power is too low, a short “Bi-Bi-Bi…”
warning tone will be emitted and the LED indicator will flash. It’s
very dangerous to fly the model with low battery transmitter.
Please change the batteries immediately.
2. Stick Controls
The left and right sticks are designed to drive the 4 channels on the
receiver. Both Mode 1 and Mode 2 are available on the SkyMaster
TS4 transmitter. Control functions are indicated below:
