9.4.5. Disabling the stick centring spring, acti-
vating the ratchet / friction system
ROYAL SX transmitters are supplied as standard with
self-centring sticks. The springs for use with a ratchet
or friction system are already fitted to both stick units,
and can be activated quickly and easily as follows:
Switch the transmitter OFF and open the case.
a. Locate the TORX screwdriver on the inside of the
transmitter back panel, and use it to tighten (turn
clockwise) the TORX screw on the appropriate
(please check!) neutralising lever (1) to the point
where the stick centring action is completely dis-
abled. Don't screw it in too far! On no account
remove the neutralising lever and centring
spring!
b. The screws (2) hold the springs, while the screws
(3) adjust the hardness of the ratchet / friction ac-
tion: the further you tighten the screw, the harder
the ratchet or friction.
If you wish, you can set a superimposed ratchet / fric-
tion action by activating both springs on one stick.
This is simply a matter of personal preference.

Adjusting the "hardness" of the sticks

9.4.6.
This term applies to the centring force of the neutral-
ising spring on any one stick axis.
The ROYAL SX allows you to adjust the "hardness"
for each of the four stick axes separately. The picture
above shows how adjustments are made. The stick
axes become "harder" when you tighten the screws (4)
(turn them clockwise).
9.4.7.

Swivelling the stick units

A unique feature of the ROYAL SX is that its stick
units can be swivelled to improve the ergonomics of
the transmitter. This is particularly advantageous if
you operate the transmitter hand-held, and use your
thumbs to control short sticks. In this case the "natural
working axis" is not exactly horizontal and vertical
relative to the transmitter, but at a more or less pro-
nounced angle. Both stick units of the ROYAL SX can
be swivelled to any angle up to about 15° from the
nominal position.

a. Using the T6 TORX screwdriver (located in clips in
the transmitter back cover) ( Fig. 9.4.7.2.),
loosen the three TORX screws which retain the
appropriate stick unit until the unit can be swivelled.
b. Rotate the stick unit to the angle which seems
most natural to you ( Fig. 9.4.7.3.), then tighten
the TORX screws again. Don't over-tighten them,
or you might strip the threads in the plastic.

Adjusting / replacing the stick tops

The ROYAL SX is supplied as standard with three
pairs of stick tops of different lengths. They are easily
changed, rotated and adjusted in length:
a. Place the transmitter on a flat surface.
b. Hold the stick top in one hand, and loosen the
locking nut by turning it clockwise with your other
hand ( Fig. 9.4.8.1.).
The stick shaft is smooth, so the stick top can now be
rotated or adjusted in length. If you wish to change the
stick tops, unscrew the locking nuts and use them to
secure the alternative items ( Fig. 9.4.8.2.).
Before fitting the stick tops please ensure that the
shafts are clean and devoid of grease or oil. If you ne-
glect this, the stick tops may not stay in position.
