CHANNEL 6
This channel offers three-position non-proportional control, and is often used for control of airplane flaps for full up,
center, and full down positions. This switch as shown on page 3 can also be used to change the sensitivity setting
of gyros or other accessory items.
DIGITAL TRIMS
One trim lever is included for each of the four main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. All trims are
digital in function, and always rest at mechanical center position. Briefly depressing the lever to either side away
from center will cause the respective servo output to finely rotate to one direction. Pressing and holding the trim
lever will cause the servo output to move repeatedly. Ideally during a flight, when the main sticks are released
and spring back to center position the aircraft should not veer in any direction. If the aircraft veers in a particular
direction, click the respective trim lever until the aircraft maintains a straight attitude on its own.
For airplanes with glow engines, the position of the throttle trim lever is helpful for determining the engine’s preferred
idle point. The throttle trim lever is not active when the main throttle stick is above 50% full throttle.
REVERSING SWITCHES
Inside the battery compartment is a bank of switches, with one reversing switch for each channel. Each
switch can reverse the rotational direction of the servo that is connected to that respective channel. This is
often a much easier method for changing the direction of a servo’s movement as opposed to altering the
mechanical connections between the model’s surface and the servo. Refer to the model’s instructions for
specific details.
The switch bank is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for each respective channel. Moving the small switch lever
for the respective channel number will change the direction of control for that channel.
DUAL RATE SWITCH
The travel distance of the servos for the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels can be changed at any time
by using the switch marked AIL / ELE / RUD D/R, located above the right stick. This switch will change the
travel distance of all three channels at the same time (not separately). With the switch in one position, each
channel’s servo will be capable of rotating through its full travel range (100%). Moving the switch to the
opposite position will limit the rotational range of each channel’s servo to 60% of its maximum rotational
range. Placing the dual-rate switch in one position can allow for better control of the model while on the
ground, at low altitudes, or while performing certain maneuvers. Moving the switch to the opposite position
can allow for optimum control of the aircraft in mid-flight.
