5. Function Descriptions 5.1 Flight Controls (Default Mode 2) The sticks are used for controlling the aircraft, each stick has 2 functions . The right stick controls pitch and roll, the left stick controls throttle and yaw.
5.2 Reverse Function The reverse function changes a channels direction of movement in relation to its input. For example, if a servo has to be mounted upside down due to space restrictions within a model, this function can be used to correct its movement so that it matches up with the user controls. Setup: 1. To change between normal and press the "OK" key until the desired channel is selected, then use the "UP" and DOWN" keys to change setting . Nor = Normal, Rev = Reverse. 2.
5.4 Display This function displays the model's channel output in real time. _!_ Warning Make sure the model engine is powered off while the test function is activated. If powered on, it will rev up and cause unexpected results. _!_ Make sure the model does not go out of range. Danger Setup: 1. Hold the "OK" key to enable channel scrub mode. In this mode the channels will sweep though their entire range of motion. 2. Press "CANCEL" key to exit. 5.
rudder will move 2.5 cm, so at 100% there is a direct, linear relationship of stick movement and surface movement. lf a setting of 50% is entered then moving the stick all the way in one direction will only give 1/2 of the surface movement and 1/2 stick movement will only produce 1/4 surface movement, this has the effect of reducing how responsive the rudder is when the stick is moved, effectively reducing the range of movement available to the servo.
5. Set the positive and negative mix, this setting controls how much the slave channel will move in relation to the masters movement, if set to 50% the slave will move half the amount of the master. 6. Set the offset, the offset changes the center of the slave channel in relation to the master. 7. Hold the "CANCEL" key to save and return to the previous menu. 8. To return a setting to default, press and hold the "OK" key for 3 seconds. Press and hold the "CANCEL" key to save. 5.
