Transmitter Setup

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,
