Trim levers (all) - Used to shift the neutral or center position of each servo as labeled in the diagram. Once either trim lever
is operated, the trim position is displayed on the LCD screen. Also once either edit key is operated, all trim positions are
displayed sequentially on the LCD screen.
NOTE: The throttle trim lever is intended for fine tuning the throttle servo when the engine is at idle. Throttle trim does not
affect the throttle servo when the throttle control stick is all the way up (so idle r.p.m. can be adjusted without affecting
throttle settings through the rest of the stick movement).
Charging jack - Port for charging the transmitter batteries with the included battery charger.
On/off switch
DATA INPUT lever - Used to change the values of the various functions displayed on the LCD screen
Liquid – crystal display screen (LCD) - Displays programming modes and values entered.
MODE key - Used to scroll through and display the “11-14” different functions.
SELECT key - Used to display the values for the current function.
Throttle – cut button - To use the throttle-cut function, lower the throttle stick all the way, then push the throttle-cut button to
fully close the carburetor and shut off the engine.
Throttle/rudder control stick - Operates the servos connected to channel 3 (throttle) and channel 4 (rudder) in the receiver.
A:Trainer switch - Operates the trainer functions. To operate as a trainer switch the transmitter must be connected to another
transmitter via. a trainer cord (available separately).
H:Idle – up switch - This switch operates to change the fight condition which sets the throttle curve and pitch curve of mid
air maneuvers (rolls, loops, stall turns) and 3D flight.
A:Retractable landing gear switch/Channel 5 - Switch operates the servo connected to channel 5 in the receiver. If your
model has retractable landing gear, this is the control used to extend and retract the gear.
H:Gyro switch/Channel 5 - You can connect the sense adjust connector to channel 5 of the receiver to operate the gyro,
which has two different senses. Also if you use the Futaba GY401/502/611 Gyro, two different gyro sense settings on the gyro
function in this transmitter can be called by this switch.
Antenna - Radiates signals to the receiver. NEVER point at the model when flying! See page 9 for detail.
