1)
as close to being centered as possible. In some cases, you can get the servo horns closer to being
centered by rotating the servo horns 180º and reinstalling them.
2)

2) Press the trim switches up or down, or right or left, to change the center trim of
the servos. The current amount of Trim for that particular channel is displayed
in the Programming Window.
TRM setting range is -100 to 100. The default setting is 0.
The Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the control surfaces by changing the amount of servo travel.
Prior to takeoff, check the position of the Dual Rate switch to ensure that it is in the position you want.

Using the Dual Rate Function
1) When Dual Rate Switch is turned OFF, the aileron, elevator, and rudder servos will
provide maximum desired control surface throw as defined by the End Point
Adjustment percentage values. For more information, see page 16.
2) When Dual Rate is turned ON, servo travel will be reduced to 75% of maximum
control throw. For example, if your elevator moves Up and Down 1" with Dual Rate
turned OFF, your elevator will move Up and Down 3/4" with Dual Rate turned ON.

The Throttle Cut function allows you to reduce throttle servo travel approximately 15% by simply pressing the Throttle Cut button.
switch to shut down your engine.
Using the Throttle Cut Function
1) Adjust the throttle trim switch to provide the lowest reliable idle for your engine.
2) With your engine at idle, press and HOLD the Throttle Cut button to shut down your
engine.
3) After your engine shuts down, release the Throttle Cut button.
Before using the Throttle Cut function, make sure that the idle stop screw (if featured) on your engine is adjusted to allow
your engine's carburetor barrel to close completely.

travel will be reduced to 75% of maximum control throw as defined by the End Point Adjustment percentage
For example, if you are flying an aerobatic aircraft that requires a lot of control throw for aerobatics, but that same amount of
control throw makes the aircraft difficult to control during normal flight, you can use the Dual Rate function to lower the control
throw for normal flight with just the flip of the Dual Rate switch.
All four Trim values should first be set to 0, then the control horns should be installed onto the servos
You can now fly your model and use the trim switches to trim your aircraft for level flight.
Use the trim switches to make final adjustments to center the servo horns, then mechanically center
Ideally, you don't want to use any more trim than necessary to center the servos or trim your aircraft for level flight. When you set
