Transmitter aerial orientation
In use, the optimum operating range of the transmitter is achieved with the
aerial in the upright forward-facing position. Do not point the aerial directly at
the model.
Stick length adjustment
As everyone’s hand size is different, the KA-6 transmitter uses a two-piece
stick top that can be adjusted in length to suit a variety of different users’
hand size.
Separate the two parts of the stick top by holding the lower part stationary
and unscrewing the upper part. Once the stick top is in the correct position,
it can be locked in place by tightening the bottom section of the stick.
Stick lever tension adjustment
The stick spring tension can be adjusted to suit the exact stick ‘feel’ you wish.
To carry out this procedure, you must remove the rear of the transmitter case.
Start by switching off the transmitter and remove the batteries. Now remove
the six self-tapping screws that hold the rear of the case in position and store
safely.
Place the transmitter face down on a soft surface (sponge rubber is perfect
for this). Gently ease off the rear of the transmitter case taking care to ensure
that the wiring loom between the charging socket and the battery box is not
disturbed.
Using a small Philips screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw for each stick to
give the desired spring tension. The tension decreases when the adjusting
screw is turned counterclockwise, and increases when turned clockwise.
