Receiver-Servo Connection List
The table below shows where the aircraft's servos should plug into a six-channel receiver. Note that some functions shown will not operate
until they are activated in the transmitter. The standard function is listed first for each channel.

Transmitter Displays and Messages
When you first turn on your transmitter, the first screen shown
below appears on the LCD display. Before flying, or even starting
the engine,
BE SURE that the model number appearing next to the voltage
matches the model that you are about to fly! If you don't, reversed
servos and incorrect trims will lead to an immediate crash.
If you press timer or engine cut or lock keys, you go directly to
those functions regardless of the display.
Startup Screen
This screen appears whenever you turn on the transmitter without
pushing any other buttons.
The model number currently enabled is the small number just to
the right of the battery voltage and the programming baseline for
this model (ACRO, GLID or HELI) is shown in the upper left hand
corner.
In the center bottom of the screen "NOR" appears in a small black
box indicating that the transmitter is in the "Normal" flight mode
condition.

Lock Indicator Screen
When you push the Lock button to hold the throttle at an idle,
the word "LOCK" appears in a black box above the voltage value.
When you push the lock button again, this symbol disappears to
indicate that you have disabled the function.
Timer
If you push either DATA button, you will enable the radio's timer
mode.
The word "TIMER" appears on the screen as well as a number
indicating the starting countdown time (which you can set in the
Initial Setup menu). If you push the right hand CURSOR button,
the timer will start counting down and the numbers will diminish in
one-second increments. Push it again and the countdown stops.
Pushing the left hand CURSOR button resets the timer.
Transmitter Displays and Messages
Warning Display (Low voltage)
When the battery's voltage drops to 6.6 volts, this number starts
blinking on the screen and the transmitter begins to steadily beep.
If your plane is up in the air when this happens, land immediately
so you can recharge the battery.
Warning Display (Flight Condition other than NOR)
If you turn the transmitter on and it immediately starts to beep
while displaying the word "ON" on the screen, one of
the flight condition modes other than Normal is switched on.
The symbol in the black box at the bottom of the screen indicates
which switch (SW1 or SW3) needs to be reset to Normal.

Tip
If this is your first Airplane
If this is your first model Airplane, here are a few tips that will
streamline your experience in programming it.
This will make more sense after you read through the manual.
Refer back to this section when you are ready to begin the setup:
1. Start with the correct model type, ACRO, in the Initial
Setup Menu.
2. Access the main programming menu, then use the REV
function, and make sure all the servos are moving in the
proper direction.
3. After centering the servo arms manually as close as
you can, use the S.TRM or sub-trim function to center
the servos.
4. Set your servo end points with the EPA function.
5. Program -35% EXPO values for aileron, Ch. 1 and
elevator, Ch. 2.
6. After your Plane is all ready to fly, put it on a shelf and
go get an R/C flight simulator program for your PC.
Spend quality time crashing the virtual plane in the
simulator. Using a sim will save you hundreds of dollars
spent on spare parts and countless hours of rebuilding
time in the long run.
7. Ready to fly your new Plane? If you are lucky you will
know someone that is an experienced model pilot and
would be willing to check over your plane and take it up
for its first flight. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED,
even if you have to drive a hundred miles to get to this
person!
If you are on your own, start slow and conservatively.
