followed quickly by complete stoppage, your receiver battery may need to be charged. If so, please charge the receiver battery with the system AC charger for a period of at least 16 hours before proceeding. Now that you have movement of the servos to the transmitter commands, we will check that you have the correct stick mode programmed into the transmitter. - Page 15 setup extremely sensitive control surfaces for the expert pilot by extending the servo travel range. Adjustment of any one channel can be adjusted from 0% (no servo movement) to 125% of normal servo travel. Normal servo travel is considered to be 30 degrees each side of center for a total servo range of 60 degrees.
- Page 17 The LCD screen should display the EPA function screen, as well as all 5-channel numbers. Channel 1 should be flashing on the screen and this tells you that you are ready to adjust the Aileron (channel 1) end points. Now, turn ON your receiver with servos connected so that you can watch the effect of your adjustment.

match Channel 1 at 50%. What you just did was program both ailerons to move downward 50% of their travel, the flaps to move 50% and the elevator to 25% of its travel. Now by moving the SW # 3 switch to the middle position and programming channel 1,2 and 5 as we did previously we will get a proportional flaperon mix that can be adjusted with the throttle stick.
