AIRCRAFT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (GENERAL 120 CLASS STUNT PLANE)
The aircraft setup procedure presented
below uses a F3A-class model as an example
and assumes that there are two aileron servos,
one in each wing. You may use a similar
procedure to set up your own model, but your
setting's numbers and percentages will
probably be different.
1. Be sure that all of your servos are plugged
into the proper receiver channels:
CH1 — Aileron (Right aileron*)
CH2 — Elevator
CH3 — Throttle
CH4 — Rudder
CH5 — Gear
CH6 — Flap (Left aileron*)
* = if FLPR activated
We recommend that

installed in the model and connected to the
respective control surfaces. This will enable
you to immediately see the effect of each
programming action we're about to take.
2. Turn on your transmitter and receiver, and
select the desired model memory. To do this,
enter the programming mode by pressing the
two keys, then press the down

There are a number of ways to keep track of
which model is in each memory. You may
attach a small piece of white tape to the
transmitter front and write the model's name
along with the model setup number, or you
may use a notebook, or label the model with

WARNING: selecting a different model type
will erase the settings in the model memory.
BE SURE you're in the correct model
memory before selecting a new model type.
4. If your receiver happens to be different
than the transmission mode (as shown it's

won't take effect until you cycle the power off
and on again. So if you have changed
modulation, cycle power now.
5. If your model has flaperons, turn on the
