PART 4 GLIDER MODEL FUNCTIONS
Please note that nearly all of the BASIC menu functions are the same for airplane (ACRO setup), sailplane
(GLID 1A+1F/ 2A+1F/ 2A+2F setups), and helicopter (HELI setups). The features that are identical refer
back to the ACRO chapter. The glider BASIC menu includes MOTOR CUT and does not include
IDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT.
Note: i n all cases where ACRO programming labels channel 3 as throttle, GLID programming labels
channel 3 as ARB (airbrake), since airbrakes are normally operated on channel 3 in gliders. This includes
STK-THR reading STK-ARB.
4.1 SET BASIC MENU OF GLID
This guideline is intended to help you get acquainted with the r adio, to give you a jump start on using your
new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction in how to do with this powerful system.
Goals Steps Inputs
Prepare your airplane.
Install all servos, switches, receiver per your model’s instructions. Turn on
transmitter then receiver; adjust all linkages so surfaces are nearly centered.
Mechanically adjust all linkages to get as close as possible to proper control
throws and minimize binding prior to radio set up.
Check servo direction and throws.
Make notes now of what you will need to change during programming.
Select the proper MODEL
TYPE for your model.
