steerIng rate

Steering rate (also known as dual rate) allows on-the-fly
steering travel adjustments to be made using the steering
rate dial. Steering rate limits the amount of travel of the
steering servo. The steering rate cannot be greater than
100% and will never exceed the amount of steering travel
set with the travel adjust dials.

of the transmitter near the trigger. Std is the standard RF

general notes

Radio controlled models are a great source of pleasure.
Unfortunately, they can also pose a potential hazard if
not operated and maintained properly. It is imperative to
install your radio control system correctly. Additionally,
your level of operating competency must be high enough
to ensure you are able to control your model under all
conditions. If you are a newcomer to radio controlled
models, please seek help from an experienced modeler
or your local hobby shop.
Safety Points to Obey for Modelers
• E nsure your batteries (both transmitter and receiver)
have been properly charged for your model.
• C heck all servos and their connections prior to each
run.
• D o not operate your model near spectators, parking
areas or any other area that could result in injury to
people or damage of property.
• D o not operate your model during adverse weather
conditions. Poor visibility can cause disorientation and
loss of control of your model.
• D o not point the transmitter antenna directly toward the
model. The radiation pattern from the tip of the antenna
is inherently low.
• D o not take chances. If at any time during the
operation of your model you observe any erratic or
abnormal operation, immediately stop operation of
your model until the cause of the problem has been
ascertained and corrected. Safety can never be taken
lightly.
