DESCRIPTION
FOUR-CHANNEL
(2-STICK)
FOUR-CHANNEL
(SINGLE STICK)
The Econo-Flite Digital Transmitter is housed in a
durable vinyl-clad aluminum case with operating con-
trols on the front or top (single stick only). Charging
connections are accessible on the bottom of the case;
a charge indicator lamp is visible through a red jewel
on the case front. A 54" collapsible antenna screws
into a plastic retainer on top of the transmitter case.
An external meter indicates both RF output and bat-
tery condition.
EK Control sticks are standard in both 2-axis and 3-
axis (single stick) models. Trims are provided for all
channels except auxiliary (3-channel) and motor (sin-
gle stick). Stick tension is adjustable to give desired
stick "feel". On the 4-channel two-stick model Mode I
or Mode II operation is obtained by selected installa-
tion of centering springs.
The 3-channel transmitter employs a total of 11 tran-
sistors; 4-channel models have 12. All parts, except
charging resistor, are mounted on two glass epoxy
boards: the Logic (encoder) board and the RF board.
The RF assembly is furnished completely built and
pretuned; the encoder must be aligned after assembly.
Alignment instructions are included herein.
A 9. 6 volt nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery sup-
plies transmitter power. A built-in charging circuit,
with indicator lamp, permits charging of both trans-
mitter and receiver batteries simultaneously.
Charging current is obtained from the 120 volt AC
line. Charging cords are supplied with the complete
system, not with individual units.

These instructions cover construction of 3 and 4-
channel transmitters with 2-axis sticks, as well as
the 4-channel 3-axis (single stick) model. Units are
