Transmitter Setup
IMPORTANT:
Transmitter features, functions and settings not listed in the
transmitter setup table should remain at the default settings. These transmitter
tables show the basic steps needed to complete setup. For more detailed
transmitter setup information please refer to your transmitter’s manual.
We recommend using the transmitter setup provided. When using the
recommended setup, these are the details of the control inputs;
• The GEAR Channel (Ch 5, default switch A) selects SAFE/AS3X mode.
• The Aux 1 Channel (Ch 6, default switch D) controls the wing sweep
mechanism. The wing sweep mechanism is not proportional, it uses three pre-
determined positions. *
• Switch C is configured for elevator dual rates.
• Switch F is configured for aileron dual rates.
• Switch H is configured for throttle cut.
• The rudder stick controls nose wheel steering, there are no rudders for flight
controls.
* When the aircraft is powered ON the wing sweep (Aux1) switch has to be in the
same position as the wings before the wing sweep will function. The wings will not
move until the wing position and switch position align. If they are both in the same
position when powered ON they will move together from the start.
Trim
Our recommended setup uses trims tied to flight modes. With both trims and wing
sweep tied to flight modes (Switch D), you can independently trim the aileron and
elevator for each wing sweep position. We recommended this configuration for this
F-14 aircraft to account for trim changes which may occur in different wing sweep
positions.
Dual Rates
Attempt your first flights in low rate. For landings, use high rate elevator.
NOTICE:
To ensure AS3X technology functions properly, do not lower rate values
below 50%.
NOTICE:
If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
Exponential
After first flights, adjust expo in your transmitter to suit your flying style.
Telemetry Setup
See the Telemetry Setup table after binding. In order for the ESC and battery
information to auto-populate in your transmitter’s telemetry menu, you must begin
telemetry setup with the aircraft bound and connected.
