The display will show a graphic representing the switch, and the different control positions of the switch
as shown here (0, 1, and 2 if applicable). The default position for “0” will always be in the up direction.
The control positions of the switch can be assigned to fi t personal preference. To use the default settings,
simply press ESC to confi rm. To change the control locations of the switch to be high “H”, medium “M”,
or low “L” position, press

or

to move the cursor to the position to be changed. Press ENTER to

highlight the function at this position. Then press

or

to change the control function. Repeat as

necessary for all switch positions. Press ESC when fi nished.

To remove the switch that has been set in the Control function, press ENTER to highlight the switch
selection and press CLEAR.

Other functions in this radio allow for assigning a switch to a specifi c function. Refer back to this section
as needed.

Offset: Move the cursor to this function. Press ENTER, then

or

to fi nd the percent to offset

the center position of the channel shown on this screen.

Speed: When a control input for channels 5 through 8 is defl ected, the speed at which the device
connected to that channel moves can be custom set. This can be useful for some accessory type
items for certain models. Move the cursor to this function. Press ENTER, then

or

to fi nd the

desired speed (100% = life speed).

While the output channel is being operated normally, any movement of the input channel will be mixed
to - and also affect the movement of - the output channel.

THROTTLE CURVE

The throttle’s output is normally linear in relation to

movement of the throttle stick. A non-linear relation
between the two - or curve - can allow for optimum
power control in certain models or for specifi c types of
fl ying styles.

Make sure the model’s full throttle position can be
achieved when the throttle stick is at maximum defl ection.

The throttle trim must be able to minimize throttle control completely when the throttle is at minimum.

Enter this function. Up to twelve points can be placed on the throttle curve, as designated next to “Point”
on the graph. Points L (low) and H (high) are each limited to a fi xed range on the curve. Points 1, 2, 3, and

4, etc. can be set if desired with respect to the position of the throttle stick.

As the throttle stick is advanced note the point where the vertical line (throttle position) intersects the diagonal

line (curve). The coordinates of this point are shown at the bottom. The “x” (horizontal) coordinate is on the
left, and the “y” (vertical) coordinate on the right.

To set points on the curve, start at the minimum throttle position which will be noted as point “L”. A point for

“L” is not marked on the graph, but is the left-most end of the curve line. The vertical position of this point

can be adjusted by moving the cursor to the RATE percentage, press ENTER then

or

as desired.

Press ENTER when fi nished.

To set point 1 on the graph, advance the throttle stick until * shows next to “Point”. Find the desired throttle

stick position and press ENTER. A + symbol will be placed on the curve to mark this point.

Pressing

or

will adjust the vertical position of curve at this exact point. Adjust as desired.
