Stick Lever Tension Adjustment
Change to ‘Mode 1’ Configuration
Stick Length Adjustment
You may adjust the stick tension of your sticks to provide the "feel" that you like for flying. To adjust your springs, you'll have to remove the
rear case of the transmitter. Using a screwdriver, remove the six screws that hold the transmitter's rear cover into position, and put them in a
safe place. Now, place some padding under the front of the transmitter and set it face down on the pad.
Gently ease off the transmitter's rear cover. Now you'll see the view shown. Using a small cross-point screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw
for each stick for the desired spring tension.
The tension increases when the adjusting screw is turned clockwise, and decreases for counterclockwise motion.
When you are satisfied with the spring tensions, you may close the transmitter. Very carefully reinstall the rear cover.
When the cover is properly in place, tighten the six screws.
Stick Lever Tension Adjustment / Mode Change
Everyone's hand size is different, so in order to accommodate all, we use a two piece stick “top” that can be adjusted to fit a wide variety of users.
Separate the top from the bottom piece and adjust the top piece to the length required.
Screw the bottom up against the top piece to “jam” lock everything into position.
Note: Please use M2(2mm)or 5/64 inch hex key for gimbals' tension adjustment and mode changes.
All Optic 5 system’s Mode (Mode 1 or 2) configurations are set up at the factory, but you may wish to change your current Mode.
Please follow the hardware set-up below in order to change your Mode.
The set-up shown below is based on Mode 2 (Mode2 Mode 1 change), so you can apply
the procedure adversely if your radio is Mode 1.
1. Carefully remove the plastic side panels from the transmitter.
2. Remove all the six phillips head screws from the back of the case.
3. Unscrew a hex screw to remove the copper ratchet from where it is located and
move it to the other side.
4. Tighten up the tension spring hex screw on the new location, try to control
the stick feeling first if you like the tension.
5. Loosen up the tension spring hex screw on the original location.
6. Allocate the “Mode Selection Jumper” to the desired mode.
7. Reassemble the case.
