SERvO INSTAllATION

In gas- and glow-powered aircraft where vibration is present, the servos should be mounted using the supplied
rubber grommets and bushings. Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. The diagram will assist you in properly
mounting the grommets and bushings. In electric and non-powered aircraft, there are many acceptable methods
for mounting the servo, including servo tape and even glue. See the information included with your aircraft for the
recommendation for installing servo(s) in your aircraft.

hOW TO RANGE TEST ThE DX6I

Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. The DX6i
incorporates a range testing system which, when placed in the RANGE CHECK program and the trainer switch is
activated and held, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.

RANGE TESTING ThE DX6I
1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position. Place the transmitter in the range test
screen (see page 51 or 98) and pull and hold the trainer switch on the top of the transmitter. This causes
reduced power output from the transmitter.
3. You should have total control of the model with the trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet).
4. If control issues exist, call the Horizon Product Support Team at 1-877-504-0233 for further assistance.
