Lemon RX Stabilizer PLUS Receiver – Essential Instructions
This mix will produce -100%/0%/100% output, functioning as follows:
Gear switch in Position 0: Gives Stabilization OFF (100%) for either position of the Mix switch.
Gear switch in Position 1:
Mix switch in Position 0 gives Autolevel mode (-100%).
Mix switch in Position 1 gives Gyro mode (0%).

Mixing

It is mandatory that any elevon (delta wing) or V-tail mixing take place in the stabilizer and NOT in the
transmitter. Such mixing is controlled by the settings of switches J4 and J5, as shown in the illustration on
page 3. Use of the transmitter for elevon or V-tail mixing is permitted only if stabilization is turned OFF at
the receiver (switches J4, J5, J6 OFF).
By contrast, other types of mixing, such as flaperons, aileron differential or aileron-to-rudder, are managed
as usual in the transmitter. When this is done, switch J6 should be turned on to activate left aileron
stabilization on channel 6 (AUX1).
The Complete Guide provides a full discussion of this issue.

Stabilizer Mode Settings

The inputs required by the Stabilizer PLUS on channel 5 (Gear) do not need to be exact. The following ranges
will be recognized as defining the three Stabilization modes:
Any value below -36% (pulse length 1356us) will put the unit into Autolevel mode.
Any value between -35% (1360us) and +35% (1640us) will invoke Gyro mode.
Any value above +36% (1644us) will turn the Stabilizer OFF.

Alignment and Location

The Lemon Stabilizer PLUS must be aligned with the flight axis of the model and the servo connectors must
be to the rear. It can be mounted upright, inverted or on either edge, but only if it is mounted fully upright
can default values be used to determine level. If mounted in any other orientation, or if fine tuning of
stabilizer level is needed, the Reset "toggling" process described earlier (page 8) must be used. For best
results, the unit should be located as close as possible to the center of gravity of the model. These issues are
discussed in more detail in the Complete Guide.

Mounting

All stabilizers must be mounted in a way that protects them from vibration and shock. At the same time,
they must be attached securely enough that they accurately follow the movements of the model and cannot
come loose. A suitable method of mounting is essential to ensure that the unit performs correctly.
The double-sided mounting tape provided with the Lemon Stabilizer PLUS offers the simplest solution. Use it
to attach the receiver in the appropriate attitude to a flat surface in the model. Make sure the surface is
clean, the attachment is solid and the receiver case is not touching any part of the model. Good quality
servo-mounting tape or 3M (Scotch) Permanent Outdoor Mounting Tape is also suitable for this purpose. Do
not use the common indoor white foam mounting tapes.
