possible position, and the throttle trim is set to the middle or a lower-than-
the-middle position. If you now have control of the motor, proceed to the
next step of the checklist.
If the blinking red status LED keeps flashing, you do not have a positive
RF link between the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the transmitter has
been powered on and the LED indicator on the transmitter glows solid red.
If the transmitter is powered on and functioning properly, disconnect the
flight battery from the receiver unit, then reconnect it. Now the receiver unit
should initialize and arm properly.
Note: In the event you inadvertently enter Bind Mode, the LED on the receiver
flashes red continuously. If this occurs, cycle the flight battery while the
transmitter is on (if previously bound).
Once you have placed the airplane in a safe area, free of obstructions, and are
clear of the propeller, you can safely power up the model to check for proper
operation of the motor.
• Advance the throttle stick upward slowly, just until the propeller begins to
spin. DO NOT attempt to fly the airplane at this time. Note the direction the
propeller spins. If viewed from the front of the airplane, the propeller spins
counterclockwise. If it is spinning backwards, disconnect the battery and
reverse the polarity of the motor’s input power leads.
Reversing Flight Controls
The transmitter included with the RTF Champ functions identically to the
transmitter included with the PKZ Vapor, Ultra-Micro P-51 RTF, Ultra-Micro Cub,
E-flite Blade
®
mCX, Tandem Rescue, and mSR (MLP4DSM).
Should the Champ’s electronic components be used in another aircraft, you might
need to reverse the operation of flight control surfaces.
Follow the steps below to reverse the rudder and elevator operation.
1. Be certain the battery is unplugged from the aircraft and the transmitter is
turned off.
2. Push down on the digital trim button for the surface you would like to
reverse.
a. Top elevator trim button—elevator normal
b. Bottom elevator trim button—elevator reverse
c. Left rudder trim button—rudder normal
d. Right rudder trim button—rudder reverse
3. Continue holding the desired digital trim button down and turn the
transmitter on.
4. Hold the digital trim buttons down for about five seconds until hearing tones,
which confirm the selection.
5. Connect the flight battery. Complete the flight control test, confirming that all
surfaces operate in the correct direction.
Stock Control Throw
Out of the box, your Champ should have the approximate control throws. In
production, this can vary by approximately 2mm without any effect on flight
performance.
