Step 4: Activating Stabilization 

 if required. 

Programming the Receiver 

If the three red Programming LEDs (in a row in the centre of the receiver) are all OFF, stabilization is NOT active, 
and the receiver operates as a standard 10 channel DSMX/DSM2

 compatible receiver.  

Activating stabilization requires programming the receiver, as explained below. Note that if stabilization is 
active, certain mixes, notably Delta Wing (elevons) and V-Tail, MUST be done in the receiver, not the 
transmitter. 

WARNING: If doing any programming of an electric powered model with the motor connected, please remove 
the propeller for your safety! 

LED Identification 

All setup is done by using the three buttons (B, C, F), and for some functions, a bind plug on channel 8 or 9. 
Individual stability gain adjustments for Roll (Aileron), Pitch (Elevator), and Yaw (Rudder) are done with the 

three rotary “pots”

 labelled A, E and R in the diagram below.  

The diagram identifies the 
buttons, pots (potentiometers) 
and various indicator LEDS. Please 
review it carefully.  

With the receiver powered ON, 
locate the three green and three 
red programming lights (G1, G2, 
G3 and R1, R2, R3).  

Press button C for no more than 2 
seconds to identify these lights. 

Also locate the position of the blue and green Setup lights and the red and green Status lights, as shown in the 
picture. 

Activating a Stabilization Option 

To activate stabilization, the receiver must be programmed with one of five optional configurations, indicated by 
the three red programming LEDs: R1, R2 and R3. The options and the corresponding lights are as follows:

4

 

Option A: Delta Wing (Elevons) 

 R1 

Option B: V-Tail 

 R2 

Option C: Normal (conventional tail) 

 R1+R2 

Option D: Dual Aileron Channels with normal tail 

 R1+R2+R3  

Option E: Dual Aileron Channels with V-Tail 

 R2+R3 

To set a Mix option, proceed as follows (the transmitter is not required except to test results of programming): 

1.

 

With the receiver OFF, place a Bind Plug on the channel 9 pins.  

2.

 

Press button C and hold while powering ON the receiver. 

3.

 

Release button C when all six programming LEDs flash (three red, three green). 

4.

 

Red LEDs will now turn on for 3 seconds in the following sequence: R1, R2, R1+R2, R3. 

 

4

 Those familiar with the previous Lemon RX stabilized receivers will recognize that the green Stabilization Direction LEDs 

are equivalent to DIP switches J1, J2, and J3, while the three red Programming LEDs correspond to J4, J5 and J6.
