Coaxial Cables: The portion of each receiver antenna wire that extends the Antenna Reception Wires. The Coaxial Cables can
be bent into gentle curves, however, do not bend the Coaxial Cables acutely, or repeatedly bend them, or the antenna wire's
cores can be damaged.
Compensation Mixing: Allows you to mix two channels together, then apply that mixing to the channels themselves. Useful if
you need to program a mix that is not already pre-programmed.
Delta Mixing: Delta mixing, more commonly referred to as Elevon mixing, combines the use of aileron and elevator from two
separate control surfaces to provide both roll and pitch control.
Differential: The Differential function allows you change the ratio of the Up to Down movement of each aileron. The Aileron
Differential function can be used to eliminate aircraft yaw tendency by adding more movement to the upward moving aileron than
the downward moving aileron.
Digital Trim Memory: Allows the transmitter to store trim values in its memory. The amount of control surface trim that you
set during flight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specific channel and for that specific model.
The trim values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON.
Direct Model Select: Direct Model Select allows you to select one of three of your most-used models from memory without going
through the Model Select menu.
Dual Rate: The Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the control surfaces by changing the amount of
servo travel. You can use Dual Rate to lower the control throw with just the flip of the Dual Rate switch.
Elevator Trim Switch: Used to control the Elevator axis Up and Down trim.
End Point Adjustment: The End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it
possible to balance control surface throw in both directions. For example, if you want your elevator to move Up and Down two
inches in each direction, but the elevator moves Down more than two inches, decrease the End Point Adjustment in the Down
direction, so that the elevator moves Up and Down the same amount.
Exponential: The Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the
elevator, aileron, and rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surfaces react to control stick
movement. Increasing the Exponential value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value will
heighten the control feel around neutral.
Fail Safe: The Fail Safe function automatically sets the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between
the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to a low transmitter battery.
FH1 Modulation: Frequency Hopping 1st generation FHSS technology.
FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. FHSS is a modulation type which transmits data across the entire frequency
spectrum by transmitting data on different channels at an extremely fast interval.
Flaperons: Flaperons is a mix of flaps and ailerons, allowing you to use the ailerons as flaps if your model does not feature
separate flaps. When Activated, both ailerons are moved down at the same time to provide the function of flaps, while still providing
aileron roll control.
Flight Modes: Flight Modes allow you to change the flying characteristics of your model with the flip of a switch. For example,
you can have one Flight Mode for normal flying and a second Flight Mode for aerobatic flying. Flip the Flight Mode switch from
Flight Mode FN (Normal) to Flight Mode F1 and your model is now programmed with all of your 'Aerobatic' Flight Mode
programming. With three programmable Flight Modes available for each Model Type, the combinations of model programming
is highly-configurable.
Flight Mode Key: Allows you to cycle through the three different Flight Modes during programming.
Gyro: A Gyro is an electronic device, that coupled with a high-speed servo linked to the tail rotor control arm, is used to stabilize
a helicopter's yaw axis.
Inhibit: To deactivate or turn OFF a particular function.
Landing Gear Switch: Used to control the operation of the Landing Gear channel. This channel is a non-proportional channel,
and is ideal for controlling the retractable landing gear or any other non-proportional control function on your model.
Low-Power Mode: The Low-Power Mode function lowers the transmitter's RF output level to check radio signal reception
(Range Check). Use this function to check radio signal reception on the ground, prior to flight.
