AMILIARISATION
Using the transmitter on its own, practise the following:
•
Activate Launch, Zoom, Thermal1, Thermal2, Cruise, Speed and Landing modes (see Section 2.2).
TIP:
start with the throttle stick pushed fully forward.
•
Activate CAL mode and sub-modes (see Section 2.6)
•
Start/stop/reset the flight timer (see Section 2.5)
•
Verify that the sounds are working correctly. If not, check that the sound files are in the correct location.

ALIBRATING THE OUTPUTS
(
SERVOS
)
In this section you will set the rotation and operating range of the servos.
4.1
S
ET SERVO ROTATION
First, set the rotation of each servo:
1.
Switch on the transmitter (do not power up the receiver yet)
2.
Move the elevator stick, and check for correct direction of elevator surfaces. If necessary, reverse the direction of
the output (see below).
3.
Repeat for the rudder and ailerons.
Note:
the throttle (brake) stick will have no effect yet.
To change the direction of an output:
1.
Go to the Direction field
2.
Press {enter}, and immediately {exit}

DJUST SERVO END POINTS AND CENTRES
The next task is to set the operating limits of the servos. At the same time, you will compensate for linkage
differences between the left and right sides of the model.
All the adjustments are made in CAL mode.
When making the adjustments:
•
Set the servo end points to the
maximum
as limited by the linkages and hinges. You may need to refine the
adjustments to achieve symmetry
–
this is described in each step.
•
Adjustments are made using curves.
Do not alter min, max or subtrim!
Notes for radios with lo-res mono screens (X-Lite, TX12, Zorro etc.)
To edit a curve on these radios and also on radios running EdgeTX, you must close the
O
UTPUTS
menu,
then open the
C
URVES
menu ().
These radios also lack a dedicated GLOBALVARS menu. Instead, GVARs are accessed through the
F
LIGHT
MODES
menu.
