triangle is below the chann-
el number. Move the right-
hand stick again and verify
the right aileron moves in
the right directions.
The display shows Channel 1 reversed.
19. Next we'll set the direction of the elevator servo,
channel 2. When you move the right-hand stick towards
the BOTTOM of the transmitter, the elevator should move
up. Check to make sure it moves in the proper direction!
(More planes are crashed due to reversed controls than
for any other reason.)
20. If the elevator control moves in the wrong direction,
move over to Channel 2 by pressing the Cursor Right
key. Now the '2' should be flashing in the display.
Activate the opposite direction for the elevator servo by
pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key. Move the right-
hand stick up-and-down again and verify the elevator
moves the right direction.
21. Now we'll set the direction of the throttle servo. When
you move the left-hand stick towards the BOTTOM of the
transmitter, the throttle should close, meaning that the
hole in the carburetor should close. Check to make sure
that the throttle lever on the engine moves in the proper
direction!
22. If the throttle servo moves in the wrong direction,
move over to Channel 3 by pressing the Cursor Right
key. Now the 3 should be flashing in the display.
Activate the opposite direction for the throttle servo by
pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key. Verify the throttle
stick makes the servo move the carburetor opening in the
correct direction.
23. Now we'll set the direction of the rudder servo. When
you move the left-hand stick towards the CENTER of the
transmitter (to the right), the trailing edge or rear rudder
should move to the right. Check to make sure!

9. Repeat two more times to fill out the remaining two
letters. If you like, you can hit the right cursor button one
more time and select a number between 0 and 199 for
further identification. It can be handy to use this to store
the plane's channel number.
1O. Press the Up arrow once. This gets you into the
Timer menu (TIME). If you want, you can use the Data
+Increase or -Decrease keys to select the amount of
time you want the stopwatch to count down.
11. This completes the initial part of the setup.
Now, we'll go ahead and customize the ACRO settings
for your model. Switch transmitter power OFF.
12. Now turn power ON.
The transmitter should
display the model number
and battery voltage as
shown. The number on the
right is the elapsed time, which will vary depending on
how long the transmitter has been left on.
13. Press both Edit keys to
get to the regular program-
ming menu. The end-point
adjust menu.(EPA) should
appear. Press the Down
arrow to get to the flaperon menu (FLPN).
The display should show that it is inhibited (INH).
14. Turn on the Flaperon
function by pressing the
Active/Inhibit button
(Clear) until "On" appears
in the display.
15. Be sure that you connect the right aileron servo to
receiver CH1 and the left aileron servo to receiver CH6.
16. Later, you can get differential by adjusting the up and
down motion of the two servos in the FLPN menu. Now
we'll set the servo throw
directions. Now check that
each servo moves the
proper direction. We'll use
the Reversing function if
they don't. Go to the Reversing menu (REV) by hitting
the Down arrow.
17. We'll start by setting the right aileron servo direction.
This is channel 1, and the 1 should be flashing for this
command. When you move the right-hand stick to the
right, the aileron on the right wing should move upwards,
and the aileron on the left should move downward.
Check that the right aileron moves the correct way!
