*To utilize this channel and power the receiver at the same time, you must use a Y-Harness (available separately). For more
information, see page 13.
Aileron/Elevator Control Stick:
Controls the Aileron and Elevator axes. The Aileron/Elevator Control Stick length is adjustable
to suit your preference. For more information, see page 19.
Aileron Trim Switch:
Used to control
the Aileron axis Right and Left trim.
Antenna:
Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model. The Antenna should be pivoted into the vertical
position during use. When not in use, the Antenna should be collapsed into the horizontal position to prevent damage during
handling and transport.
Antenna Reception Wires:
The portion of each of the receiver antenna wires that actually receives the transmitter signal. The
Antenna Reception Wires should never be bent or they could be damaged and limit the range of the receiver.
Battery Compartment:
Houses the 6 cells that power the transmitter. The transmitter uses 6 cells for lighter weight and better
feel, while still providing long usage time and high power output.
Bind Button:
Used to Bind the transmitter and receiver. Also used to enter Low-Power Range Check mode.
Bind LED:
Displays the current status of the transmitter and receiver pair.
Charging Jack:
Used for onboard charging of the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
Coaxial Cables:
The portion of each antenna wire that extends the Antenna Reception Wires. The Coaxial Cables can be bent
into gentle curves, however, do not bend the Coaxial Cables acutely, or repeatedly bend them, or the antenna wire's cores can
be damaged. For information on mounting the receiver and orientating the receiver antenna wires, see page 18.
Elevator Trim Switch:
Used to control
the Elevator axis Up and Down trim.
