    Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check. 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand approximately 100 feet (30 meters) away from the model.
  • Page 16: Hand Launch Assist (Hla) Setup

    This advanced range check allows the RF performance of each receiver to be evaluated independently. A telemetry-equipped Spektrum Transmitter is required for the advanced range test. 1. Stand approximately 100 feet away from the model. 2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter into range test mode.

    d. Duration (S): Duration in seconds for HLA to remain active after hand launch is detected. 2 seconds is an adequate starting point to give the model time to climb and allow the pilot to put their hands back on the sticks.
  • Page 18 Gain: Value given to the strength of the gyro response in relation to model movements due to external forces. The lower the value, the less the gyro responds. The higher the value the more the gyro responds. Increasing the value too high will cause oscillations in the given flight axis. Gain Sensitivity: Multiplies the AS3X+ gain value, allowing a higher or lower gain range in case the initial 0 to 100% gain range isn’t adequate for the model.
