I-21
90 feet (30 paces)
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model,
it’s important to perform a range check. The 12X incorporates
a range testing system which, when the bind button on the
transmitter is pressed and held, reduces the output power,
allowing a range check.
Range Testing
Range Testing
1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces
(approx. 90 feet) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying
position and depress and hold the bind button on the back
of the transmitter. This causes reduced power output from
the transmitter.
3. You should have total control of the model with the button
depressed at 30 paces (90 feet).
4. If control issues exist, call the Product Support Department
at 1-877-504-0233 for further assistance.
Advanced Range Testing Using a Flight Log
While the above Standard Range Testing procedure is
recommended for most sport aircraft, for sophisticated aircraft
that contain significant amounts of conductive materials (i.e.
turbine-powered jets, some types of scale aircraft, aircraft with
carbon fuselages, etc.) the following advanced range check
will confirm that all internal and remote receivers are operating
optimally and that the installation (position of the receivers)
is optimized for the specific aircraft. This Advanced Range
Check allows the RF performance of each remote receiver to
be evaluated and to optimize the locations of each individual
remote receiver.
