Note:
When you confi rm the model selection the following
message appears in the basic display for a few seconds:
BIND N/A
OK
If you confi rm your choice by briefl y pressing the SET
button of the right-hand four-way button, you automati-
cally move to this line:
In this line you trigger the bind process between model
memory and receiver, as described in detail on page 70.
Without this step you cannot address the receiver.
The next step is to press the
c
arrow button of the left-
hand or right-hand four-way button to move up into the
fi rst line, where you can start the actual model program-
ming in the “

” line. Now enter a suitable name

In the next four lines we come to the fi rst settings which
are specifi c to helicopters:
In the “
Swashplate type
” line select the number of
servos which are used to actuate the swashplate. See
page 65 for more details of this.
In the “
Rotor direction
” line we enter the direction of
rotation of the main rotor as viewed from above. In the
“Collective
pitch min
.” line set “forward” or “rear” to suit
your personal preference. This setting applies equally to
all subsequent mixers, and it is therefore vital that you
do not change it later in order to alter
individual mixer
directions
, such as the direction of collective pitch or
throttle.

At this point, if you have not already done so, the servos
should be connected to the receiver in the following
sequence:
Telemetry sensor or gyro gain
Receiver power supply

Roll 2 servo
Tail rotor servo (gyro system)

… where you will fi nd that they are pre-set to +61% in
each case. If the swashplate does not respond correctly
to the stick movements, the fi rst step is to change the
mixer directions from “+” to “-” if necessary. The second
recourse is to reverse the servo directions in the “
