on channel 5. Such transmitters can also usually be programmed to invoke Autolevel mode for momentary
emergency recovery. See the Complete Guide for information on programming.
Transmitters with only a two-position switch on channel 5, such as the older examples of DX4e and DX5e, as
well as programmable ones that lack the ability to assign a suitable three-position switch, can be set to
access either Gyro or Autolevel, but not both, as explained in the note under Changing Mode Order (see
page 9). Alternatively, many such transmitters, including specifically the DX6i, can be programmed to control
the three modes by means of two two-position switches (see page 11 and the Complete Guide).

Servos and Power Sources

The Stabilizer PLUS works well with a wide range of servos, both analog and digital. For optimum
stabilization, servos with relatively fast response times are preferred. Metal-gear servos may be used for
their shock resistance but they too are optional.
Be sure to use an ESC (speed control) or BEC (battery eliminator) with ample current capacity. Stabilization
makes the servos work harder than unstabilized flight and thus generates significantly higher current drain.
A good rule to follow is to choose a BEC, whether internal to the ESC or separate, that has at least 50% more
capacity than you would use for a similar but unstabilized model. An adequate power supply is vital because
although the Stabilizer PLUS is highly resistant to short power interruptions (<1s), several seconds are
needed for a reset after a longer power loss.
If possible, use a switching BEC (SBEC), either in the ESC or as stand-alone unit, for its ability to deliver
power without overheating and to cope with higher battery voltages. Linear BECs can also be satisfactory as
long as you stay within their voltage and servo limits.
