Changing the Offset Percentage Values
IMPORTANT The Offset function shifts the neutral position of the servo, along with the two End Points. For example, with
the aileron Offset set to 10% in the Right direction, when the Offset function is Activated using the Flight Mode switch, the roll
cyclic will move Right 10% further and Down 10% less. 100% percent control deflection is maintained, however, the neutral
position of the servo (and the roll cyclic) is shifted 10% in the Right direction.
The neutral position of the servo will shift the same percentage that you set the Offset percentage value for when the Offset
function is Activated, regardless of control stick position. For example, if you set 10% aileron Offset and the aileron control
stick is at neutral, the aileron servo neutral position will shift 10% (Right or Left) when the Offset function is Activated. If you're
holding a certain amount of roll cyclic, then Activate the Offset function, the roll cyclic will move 10% further (Right or Left) from
the currently held position.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight the desired channel you
would like to change the Offset setting for.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to set the desired Offset percentage
value.
OFFSET setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0%.
WARNING Depending on the ratio between your servo Limits setting and your Offset setting, there could be limited usable
control throw. For example, if your servo Limits are set to 100% and your Offset is set to 50%, this will result in only 50%
usable control throw in one direction.
3) Repeat the previous procedures to set the desired remaining Offset percentage values.

The Channel Delay function allows you to adjust the speed of individual servos. This function has several uses. For example, not
all servos operate at the same exact speed. You may find that even though the elevator, aileron, throttle, and pitch servos are
the same, one servo may move faster than the others. You can use the Channel Delay function to slow down the faster servo to
match the slower servos. In addition, you can use the Channel Delay function to slow down channels, such as the pitch channel.
For example, you can slow down the pitch channel to help make your helicopter more docile in the pitch range. The Channel
Delay function can also be used to slow down a servo that controls mechanical landing gear in a scale helicopter to achieve a
more scale transit time.
The Channel Delay function can be programmed to operate in a number of different combinations to suit just about any model
setup or control function need. Up to five Channel Delay functions can be programmed separately for each of the five Flight
Modes or you can use the same Channel Delay programming across all five Flight Modes.
The Channel Delay function does not affect when the servo starts to respond to control stick movement. The Channel
Delay function affects only the transit time of the servo.
Programming F-MODE
Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers
to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.
