9 Transmitter Setup Checklist
Before binding for Computerized Transmitters (DX6i, DX7/DX7se,
DX7s, DX8, DX9, DX10t, DX18):
1. Choose a blank model memory.
2. Choose Wing/Aircraft Type for single aileron servo.
3. Set all trim and sub-trims to NEUTRAL (0%).
4. Set servo travel values to the recommended settings.
5. Set the Dual Rate value according to the Dual Rate and Expo
chart.
After binding:
1. DO NOT use sub-trims to make fi ne adjustments. Off-center
subtrim will affect servo travel and AS3X operation.
2. Adjust linkage lengths so the control surfaces center when the
servo arm is close to perpendicular
CAUTION: For safe operation, always re-bind the airplane after
setup is complete to ensure the failsafe is updated with the latest
setup.
IMPORTANT: The AR635 receiver’s default setting in this aircraft is normal
mode. We recommend that you do not change this setup. Refer to the receiver
manual for more information.
A programmable DSM2/DSMX six-channel (or better) transmitter with Dual
Rates is required for fl ying this aircraft. The Spektrum
™ DX6i, DX7s, DX8, DX9,
DX10t, DX18 and JR ® X9503, 11X or 12X transmitters may be used.
Below are the recommended settings for Servo Travel.
Throttle 100%
Aileron 125%
Elevator 125%
Rudder 125%
Channel 5 100%
Dual Rates and Expos
Adjust rate and expo to the recommended values shown in the chart.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X functions properly, do not lower rate values below
50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust the position of the pushrods
on the servo arm.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
Dual Rate High Rate Expo Low Rate Expo
Aileron 70mm / 10% 37mm / 45%
Elevator 75mm / 10% 19mm / 40%
Rudder 110mm / 10% 65mm / 40%
