3. While pushing the stick in, power on the transmitter, re lease stick once the
transmitter is powered on. The trans mitter will beep and the LED on the face
of the transmitter will pulse.
4. Once the transmitter stops beeping it will take a second or two to connect
with the airplane.
Note: It can be difficult at times to see the LED blink (indicating you are in
bind mode), therefore slowly count to five once you have connected the
battery and the airplane should enter bind mode at that time.
Transmitter Dual Rate Function
The included 2.4GHz DSM2/DSMX transmitter features dual rate capability. The
default setting is high rate. To access the low-rate function, press IN on the right
stick. The LED light on the transmitter face will blink, alerting you the transmitter
is on low rate. To return to high rate, push in again on the right stick.
Note: HobbyZone STRONGLY recommends using the LOW-RATE setting for
conducting first flights.
Receiver Control Unit Description, Arming and
Motor Control Test
The receiver installed on your Champ is a lightweight combination of main motor
electronic speed control, servos and Spektrum DSM2/DSMX-compatible receiver.
The receiver unit is also equipped with a status indicator LED.
Before each flight ALWAYS turn the transmitter on before con necting the flight
battery to the receiver unit. Never connect the flight battery to the receiver unit
before powering the transmitter on first. After each flight, always disconnect the
flight battery from the receiver unit before powering the transmitter off.
NOTICE: The only time you should connect the flight battery to the
receiver unit before powering the transmitter on is when binding
the receiver of the receiver unit to the transmitter. Please see the
Transmitter and Receiver Binding section for more information.
The following checklist contains the steps to properly arm and operate the
receiver unit, and check proper motor response.
• You MUST set the throttle stick in the lowest possible position, and, for
most transmitters, the throttle trim must also be set to the lowest possible
position in order for the receiver unit to arm. If this is the first test flight, or
a test flight following repairs, you should also center the rudder, aileron and
elevator trims.
• When the status LED on the receiver becomes solid red, the receiver unit
is initialized and ready for flight. Also, as long as you had the throttle stick
in the idle position and the throttle trim in the lowest position during the
initialization process, the ESC/motor will now be armed. Use caution as the
propeller will now spin with throttle stick input.
Note: If the status LED of the receiver does not become solid red, please review
the following.
• If after blinking red the status LED becomes solid red, but you have no
control of the motor, you have a positive Radio Frequency (RF) link between
the transmitter and receiver, but the throttle stick and throttle trim may not
be set to the correct positions. Check that the throttle stick is in the lowest
