Flight Battery Installation,

Linking and ESC Arming

WARNINGS

  Always turn the transmitter’s power switch ON before 

plugging the battery into the plane.

  The motor will not operate unless the throttle stick is 

first moved to the lowest position.

  Keep clear of propeller to prevent bodily harm.

NOTE:

 The Micro Calypso is equipped with an auto-linking 

feature. This means the transmitter will automatically link 
to the plane after they are turned on.

 1. 

 

Move the throttle stick all the 
way down.

 

2.  Switch the power ON.

 3. 

 

The red LED lights up and a 

“beep” will be heard.

 4. 

 

Connect the battery to the 
ESC plug in the bottom of the 

plane. Observe the correct 
polarity.

 5. 

 

Secure the battery on the 

bottom of the Micro Calypso 
fuse using the hook and loop 
material.

6.  Move the elevator/rudder stick (right stick) and confirm 

the elevator and rudder respond correctly.

 7. 

 

Move the throttle stick (left 

stick) up gently to confirm the 
motor/prop spin.

CAUTION:

 Do not run the Micro Calypso motor for more 

than 15 seconds when not in flight. Running the motor for 
extended times while the plane is not flying could cause 
damage to the motor.

DUAL RATES

The Micro Calypso transmitter (RTF only) is equipped with 

a dual rate switch which allows you to adjust the amount 
of throw the elevator and rudder have. With the dual rate 
switch down, you can fly on high rates (more elevator/rudder 
throw for experienced pilots) or you can move the dual rate 
switch up and fly on low rates (less elevator/rudder throw 
for inexperienced pilots) to make the plane easier to fly.

You can also adjust the elevator and rudder throw by 

changing the position of the linkage at the mounting point 
on the elevator and rudder. Moving the elevator linkage to 
the upper hole will increase throw and elevator response. 
Moving the rudder linkage to the inner hole will increase 
rudder throw and rudder response.

RUDDER / ELEVATOR CONTROL

SURFACE CENTERING

Before your first flight or after a crash you will need to check 
the centering of the rudder and elevator control surfaces. 

To prevent excessive transmitter trim you should first make 

mechanical adjustments to the rudder and elevator servo 
linkages. The linkages have a “U” shaped section in them 
that can be compressed or expanded to adjust the control
