•IDLE UP 2 ADJUSTMENT
1 . When the idle up
idle up amount (throttle servo stop position) can
be adjusted with trimmer [10] of the throttle trim-
mers [C] on the trimmer panel at the back of the
transmitter. The low side pitch can be adjusted
with trimmer [6] of the pitch trimmers [B] on the
trimmer panel on the back of the transmitter.
2 When trimmer [10] is turned clockwise, idle up is
applied. (See Fig. 61.)
3 Set the idle up 2 point trimmer [11] for dynamic
patterns.
4 Adjust the low side pitch to match rolls and other
dynamic pattern with trimmer [6].
When trimmer [6] is
turned clockwise and
switch [21] is in the ON
position, the pitch
26
increases at the minus
side.
•Throttle hold and throttle hold delay
adjustment for auto-rotation
1. When the throttle hold switch [23] is set to ON, the
throttle circuit is disconnected from the throttle
lever and only pitch control can be performed with
the lever.
2. The auto-rotation pitch can be adjusted with trim-
mer [5] of the pitch trimmers [B] and the auto-
rotation throttle servo stop position can be adjust-
ed with trimmer [8]
on the trimmer panel at the back of the trans-
mitter.
3. Adjust trimmer [5] for a pitch of about minus 2
when switch [23] is ON and the throttle lever is in
the maximum position. (This pitch differs some-
what with the helicopter.)
2 switch [21] is set to ON, the
Pitch control servo

4. Adjust trimmer [8] so the engine stops (throttle
fully closed) when entering auto-rotation and when
switch [23] is in the ON position and idles (throttle
slightly open) during practice.
5 Adjust the maximum pitch when switch [23] is set
to ON with the ATV button.
The pitch servo moves to the position set at the
ATV button without regard to the position of the
pitch control high side trim lever [13].
6 Throttle hold delay adjustment
Set the hold delay trimmer [7] full counterclock-
wise to the 0 position.
• Next, perform auto-rotation. When the drop is
fast the instant throttle hold is applied, turn the
hold delay trimmer [7] and set it for a constant
drop.
•Set the hold delay trimmer [7] to the minimum
required time. Normally, about 0.7 second. This
is about 30% to 40% by trimmer position.
7 When performing auto-rotation using hold delay,
set the throttle lever to maximum slow, then im-
mediately turn on throttle hold switch [23].
• If you are not familiar with auto-rotation, use
the set with the hold delay trimmer [7] turned
fully counterclockwise to 0 hold delay.
• Rudder button adjustments
1 When the rudder button [33] is pressed, the rudder
servo moves in the direction and to the angle set
at trimmer [17] of the rudder trimmers [D] on the
trimmer panel at the back of the transmitter.
2. The time the rudder is operated can be set with the
rudder time trimmer [18]
the back of the transmitter.
3 Set the rudder servo throw to the direction and
angle matched to 540* for stall turns and other
spinning maneuvers.
[Fail safe switches]
After you have become completely familiar with your
set, set switches 12, 13, 14, 19 and C on the trimmer
panel at the back of the transmitter to the ON posi-
tion. When first using your set, practice with the
switches in the OFF (INHIB) position.
