Control Stick Tension Adjustment:
●
The tension of the control sticks can be adjusted to suit the desired “feel” of the control
sticks in your hands.
●
To adjust the control stick tension, begin by removing the four screws from the back of the
transmitter case. Next, carefully pull the back of the transmitter off and flip it back from the
bottom, so that the battery wires don’t get damaged.
●
Use a small phillips head screwdriver to adjust the
brass-colored screws directly above the spring pivot
joints on each gimbal. Turning the screws clockwise
increases the tension and turning the screws counter-
clockwise decreases the tension. Notice that the throttle
is a ratchet type and cannot be adjusted.
●
After adjusting the control stick tension, carefully reinstall the back of the transmitter,
making sure that no internal wires are pinched or otherwise damaged.
OPERATION
Installing the Batteries:
●
Remove the battery door from the back of the transmitter by pulling down on it with one
hand while holding the transmitter with your other hand.
●
Install 8 fresh “AA” Alkaline batteries, being careful to
make sure that the polarity is correct for each battery.
●
After double-checking that the batteries are installed
correctly, reinstall the battery door and turn on the
transmitter to verify that the voltage meter reads 100.
Range Check:
●
Range checking verifies that the transmitter is “talking” correctly to the receiver in your
airplane. A range check should be performed before the first flight of each day and after an
unusually hard landing, or after the radio control system has been repaired.
●
Perform the range check by walking away from the model with the antenna fully collapsed.
You should have normal control over the model up to 80 feet or more.
●
If the controls act erratically during the range check, DO NOT FLY until the problem has
been fixed.
