Calibrate the Throttle
This procedure applies only to Tx-R or Rx-R versions of
the Calypso, or any other time a transmitter different than
the one originally calibrated to the included ESC is used.
At this time one of the motor wires should still be disconnected
from the ESC to prevent accidental starting of the motor.

UP
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and advance the throttle stick
all the way forward.
❏
2. Connect the battery to the ESC. Listen for the three
tones… “ 1 2 3” followed by two short beeps…”beep beep.”
Lower the
throttle stick all
the way down.
❏
3. Listen for the three short beeps…“beep beep beep”
followed by one longer beep…“beeep.”
DOWN
❏
4. Now the throttle is calibrated and the battery can be
disconnected and the transmitter turned off.
NOTE: If at any time you encounter problems calibrating
the throttle, or the ESC or motor do not function properly,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 19 or refer to
complete ESC programming instructions at fl yzoneplanes.
com or contact Product Support for assistance.
While we’re working with the transmitter and the ESC, this
would be a good time to run through the normal startup
procedure…
Normal Startup Procedure
❏
1. Reconnect the disconnected motor wire to the ESC. If
you haven’t yet done so, you may remove the tape from around
the folding propeller holding it to the fuselage.

❏
2. Unless calibrating the throttle or programming the ESC,
always turn on the transmitter with the throttle stick all the
way down. Turn on the transmitter.
❏
3. Connect the battery to the ESC. Listen for the three
tones…“ 1 2 3” followed by three short beeps…“beep beep”
beep” followed by one long beep…“beeep”.
Now the ESC is “armed” and the model is ready to fl y. The
propeller will turn whenever the throttle stick is advanced, so
use caution. When you are done running the motor or fl ying the
plane simply disconnect the battery and turn off the transmitter.
