Programming Menu 4
– Throttle Input Range (PWM)
The default setting is 1.2ms to 1.8ms and should work
with most radio systems. This option allows for proper
throttle input with many different radio systems. However,
some radios have a wider output range, and may give
a more linear response with the 1.1ms to 1.9ms range.
If you feel there is too much “dead” area in the stick
movement near full throttle, try adjusting the end points
in your radio, or change to the wider input range. Be
aware that if these settings are not correct, it may be
impossible to arm the controller.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms) for 5
seconds, and the controller will beep 4 times, indicating
you are now in Menu 4.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms) position to
make changes to the Throttle Input Range programming.
