Install the velcro around the receiver and amplifier box's.
D) Install the gyro sensor onto the gyro shelf being sure to follow the instructions included
with the unit.
E) Install the switch on to the upper front side of the #125-41 bottom plate as shown. Install
two #125-48 rubber grommets between the main switch body and the graphite plate and
secure using the longer screws provided (#0043 or #0063). Take care to center the switch so
there can be no contact in either the "on" or "off" position with the graphite plate.
F) It may be necessary to use a servo extension lead on both the throttle servo and the
switch harness. Make all necessary servo, gyro and switch connections in an orderly
manner, routing wires to avoid contact with frame edges and moving parts. Use the #0389
(single servo wire) and #0390 (dual servo wire and/or gyro wire) wire retainers to secure the
wiring. These items will press onto the head of any M3 socket head bolt. The bolts retaining
the upper most #115-20 hex frame spacer are ideal positions to install #0389 for servos #1
and #2. Bolts retaining the gyro mounting brackets are suitable positions for #0390
retainers.
Step 2: basic radio programming
Preliminary adjustments must be made to the radio before installing servo arms (wheels) and
pushrods. Typical settings are listed for popular radios.
J.R. X8310/PCM 10 series
Select swash type function 65.
Select 120 C.C.P.M. function.
Retain all "default" C.C.P.M. settings of 60%.
Set aileron, elevator and pitch ATV's to 100%.
Futaba 8UHP/9CH/9ZH
Select SR3 swash type in model menu.
Retain "default" settings of 60% for aileron, elevator and pitch.
Set aileron, elevator and pitch ATV's to 100%.
Note: Do not adjust ATV for any trimming or setup changes. Use only AFR or SWH menus
for trimming adjustments.
Step 3: Installing servo arms (wheels) and pushrods
Note: Servos #1 through #4 require large servo output positions. For J.R., use the heavy duty
J.R. super servo arms (available as an option from J.R. in a package of five) in the outer hole
(20.0mm from the center screw). For Futaba, use the large 45.0mm diameter wheel (included
with all Futaba servos) in the outer hole (19.5mm from the center screw).
