IMPORTANT NOTE: Before manually resetting the failsafe, make sure the servo
reversing switches are in the correct position for the application.

1.

Apply power to the Tx and Rx.

2a.

If using an ESC, do NOT arm the ESC. Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s
failsafe position if the ESC is armed.

2b.

If using a gas or glow powered engine, do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s
failsafe position while the engine is operating.

3.

Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired position for the throttle control to move
if the Rx goes to failsafe.

4.

Press and hold the “Bind” button on the receiver, and the Rx’s LED should blink
twice. Release the Bind button, and the receiver’s LED should turn on (stop
fl ashing). The Tx and Rx should now be bound, with the throttle failsafe in the
new position as set above.

NOTE: If you’re using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, the pre-set failsafe
position is irrelevant as the signal loss feature will cease the throttle operation if the
signal is lost.

SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION

WARNING!

During all pre-fl ight preparations with the aircraft on the

ground, make sure the throttle stick remains at the minimum position
and do not stand the Tx upright on the ground. Carefully lay the Tx on its
back on the ground to prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging

the throttle stick from the low position which would create a safety hazard. Make
sure all devices are properly mounted inside the model, and all wiring connections
are solid to prevent them from easily becoming dislodged during normal fl ight. It’s
best to check the system with the propeller removed from the aircraft.

1. Once all connections are made, check the general operation of the radio and

all other components before attempting a fl ight.

2. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum (idle) position.

3. Turn on the Tx, and then the Rx.

4. Make sure all controls are operating in the proper direction. If any servo is

turning in the wrong direction, change the position of the reversing switch for
that particular channel.

5. With both sticks at center position, move the trim levers for the aileron, elevator,

and rudder channels so each respective control surface is perfectly aligned
with the main surface. For example: When the aileron trim lever is in the center
position, it’s best that the trailing edge of the aileron is aligned with the trailing
edge of the wing itself (not above or below the wing’s trailing edge).

6. Make sure that movements of the throttle stick result in an equal adjustment

of the throttle in the model. Depending on whether the airplane is electric
or glow powered:
