Operation Manual

Helicopter 61
Programming a Helicopter, model type “HE”
The initial set-up of the transmitter for helicopter
models is achieved using the System Menu, see
pages 14 – 17. The basic set-up depends less on the
model itself than on the general control preferences
of the pilot.
The most important setting, above all others, is the
control mode (MOD), including whether the throttle
stick should pushed or pulled for maximum pitch
(THR). Both settings should be reviewed in all cases
before beginning with the set-up of the model.
The model dependent parameter settings are
grouped in the Set-Up Menu, that is activated from
the initial position of the transmitter and/or leaving
the System Menu by pressing of the key ENTER .
In both menus, the desired functions are displayed
by scrolling through the options by pressing the
ROLL UP and/or ROLL DN buttons.
