Spektrum DXS Transmitter

Preset Model Profiles

The Spektrum DXS transmitter has the ability to change between 4 different Airplane Profiles and a

Heli Profile using trim inputs. See the profile options, compatible models, and notes for each listed

below.

- Preset Profiles Description – See DXS Profile Switch and Channel Designations Chart for more info

STANDARD AIRPLANE PROFILE – For models with up to 4 control surfaces, such as trainer, sport and

gliders models. Use with models with Retracts, Flaps and other auxiliary functions maybe limited in this

profile.

EXTRA FUNCTIONS PROFILE – For models with Flaps and Retracts, and auxiliary functions like Throttle

Reverse. SAFE select flight modes can be limited in this profile when CH5 and CH6 are already in use. Also

please note when using this profile with models with Flaps, there is no Elevator Compensation. Dropping

flaps on most high wing models will cause “ballooning” and the nose will pitch up.

ELEVON A/B PROFILES –This preset is intended for Delta wing and Flying wing models that require

Elevon Mixing. This mode mixes the Aileron and Elevator channels to produce pitch and roll movements

with 2 control surfaces. When using an Elevon Profile, it is likely you will need to Reverse either

Aileron/Elevator or both. (see DXS manual for channel reversing instructions)

Possible Elevon Reversing Options

Tip: If you test all servo reversing options and the

control surfaces do not move in the correct direction,

change the Elevon wing from Elevon-A to Elevon-B.

STANDARD HELI PROFILE – The Standard Heli profile has preset throttle and pitch curves that are

specifically chosen to fly many popular Blade Heli Models. These curves are set to the B switch for

Normal, Stunt 1 and Stunt 2. Please see the compatibility chart for a list of compatible Blade Helis
