Aileron Travel Limit Setting
Setup Method
1. Press the SET button to enter A.LIM setup
mode. The A.LIM LED will lit up after E.REV turns
off.
2. With all channels stationary, move the
transmitter aileron stick to the right, and then
back to center position. This completes the
aileron endpoint setup process. The control unit
will determine the maximum aileron endpoints.

Aileron gyro setting
Setup Method
1. Press the SET button to enter A.REV setup
mode. The A.REV LED will lit up after A.LIM turns
off.
2. Tilt the helicopter right as shown in diagram,
and check if swashplate is tilting correctly toward
the left. If the swashplate is tilting at the wrong
direction, move the transmitter aileron stick until
STATUS LED changes color, and re‐check the
swashplate tilting direction.
3. Press the SET button again, and the control unit
will restart with all LED's flashing.
This completes the flybarless portion of the setup
process.

Rudder Servo Travel
1. Press the SET button to enter LIMIT setup mode.
2. Push the transmitter rudder stick left until tail pitch slider
reaches the end, then center the rudder stick and wait 2
seconds for the STATUS LED to flash red. This completes the
rudder endpoint limit adjustment for the left side.
3. Push the rudder stick right until tail pitch slider reaches
the end, then center the rudder stick and wait 2 seconds
for the STATUS LED to flash red. This completes the
rudder endpoint limit adjustment for the right side.

Heli Size and Delay Value
1. Press SET button to select DELAY setup mode. The choice of
small or large helicopter is done by moving the transmitter
rudder stick left or right while observing the color of STATUS
LED. (For example, T‐REX 500/550/600/700 the STATUS LED
will be green. T‐REX 250/450 the STATUS LED will be red.)
2. The amount of rudder stick moved from center is the DELAY
amount. When DELAY LED begins to flash, delay is at 0%.
When rudder stick is pushed to the end, delay is at 100%.
3. Confirm the setting by pushing the SET button.
Flight Mode Setting
STATUS flashes green 4 times
Swashplate Dampening Setting
1. After entering setting mode, STATUS LED flashes 4 times.
2. Move the aileron stick to adjust cyclic pitch dampening rate; the
more LED lights up, the more dampening effect. Please note
aileron and elevator dampening cannot be adjusted separately.
Moving aileron stick is for adjusting cyclic pitch dampening rate,
but moving elevator stick is for adjusting collective pitch
dampening rate, NOT elevator dampening rate.
3. The more dampening effect, the smoother helicopter flies, but
feels less direct. The rate of dampening should be adjusted to suit
pilot's preferences.
STATUS flashes green 5 times
Swashplate bump (acceleration) Setting
1. After entering setting mode, STATUS LED flashes 5 times.
2. Move the aileron stick to adjust cyclic pitch acceleration rate;
the more LED lights up, the more acceleration effect. Please note
aileron and elevator acceleration cannot be adjusted separately.
Moving aileron stick is for adjusting cyclic pitch acceleration rate,
but moving elevator stick is for adjusting collective pitch
acceleration rate, NOT elevator acceleration rate.
3. When cyclic pitch acceleration is active, hovering point fixation
ability may be reduced. Beginners or F3C pilots should minimize
cyclic pitch acceleration rate value, or set it to zero.
4. Setting swashplate acceleration may increase the burst amp
draw of servos. Therefore, BEC output capability should be
confirmed to handle burst current when setting collective pitch
acceleration, otherwise insufficient current supply may result in
flight accidents. We recommend direct power supply if
acceleration is higher than 50%.
