TRANSMITTER SETTING
Assign transmitter CH5 to a 3-position switch, and set
the function to "GEAR" . This setting enables use of the
Beginner MODE, GYRO-OFF MODE, and GYRO-MODE by
switching a switch. When you want to change the direction
of operation of the switch, perform reverse setting at the
transmitter.

In the case of a beginner, the side at which the CH5 end
point (EPA, ATV) switch is pushed forward should be made
0% and the mode should be switched between the GYRO
OFF mode and Beginner mode.
GYRO GAIN and DIRECTION
Aileron, elevator, and rudder gyro gain adjustment and
gyro operating direction are set by flight control trimmer.

in 5% steps. If hunting is excessive, the aircraft may be
damaged. Hunting tends to stop when the airspeed is
lowered.
PRE-FLIGHT SETTING
① Set the aileron, elevator, and rudder gyro gain
trimmers to about 45˚.
② In the state in which the gyros are operative, move the
transmitter sticks and check that each control surface
moves in the proper direction. If a control surface
moves in the opposite direction of stick operation, set
transmitter reverse.
③ Remove you hand from the transmitter and turn in the
aileron, elevator, and rudder rotating axis direction and
check if each control surface moves in the direction
opposite the rotating direction (direction in which the
plane returns). If the direction of the steering angle
correction rudder is reversed, change the trimmer to
45˚ of the opposite side.
Tilt the airplane to the right
on the ground and check
that the rudder operates to
the left.
FLIGHT SETTING
① Turn on the power in the GYRO OFF -MODE or GYRO-
MODE.
② Fly the plane in the GYRO OFF-MODE or GYRO-MODE
and adjust the trimmers.
③ Land the plane and turn off the gyro power.
④ Turn on the gyro power again in the GYRO OFF-MODE
or GYRO-MODE. This memorizes the trim position at
the gyro.
Tilt the airplane to the left
on the ground and check
that the ailerons operate
to the right.
Tilt the airplane with its nose
upward and check that the
elevator operates downward.
