Changing Throttle Ratchets and Spring for Mode 1 and Mode 3
If you've changed your transmitter to Mode 4 from Mode 2, it's not necessary to change the throttle ratchet and spring. Skip
to the Control Stick Calibration - User Option section on page 43.
If you change the transmitter Operating Mode to Mode 1 or to Mode 3, the throttle ratchet and the spring must be swapped, in
addition to making the MODE programming change described above. This will ensure correct control stick behavior.
The following tools will be required: # 1 and # 2 Phillips head screwdrivers, small needle nose pliers, and a 1.5mm hex wrench.

Mode 1 and Mode 3 require swapping the throttle ratchets and spring. Mode 2 and Mode 4 do not.
The Mode Setup function allows you to change the SD-10G transmitter's Operating Modes. Four Operating Modes are available as
shown in the table below. The Mode Setup function also includes a Neutral/Travel function that allows you to calibrate the control
sticks to ensure accurate control centering, regardless of servo brand used. The Travel function allows you to adjust the servos to
move 100% of their maximum travel if you choose to limit the movement of the control sticks. For example, if you limit the throttle
control stick to move only 50% of it's maximum movement, the throttle servo will move only 50% of its maximum travel. The Travel
function will allow you to calibrate the servo to move 100% of its maximum travel with only 50% control stick movement.
In the default conguration, the transmitter is set to Mode 2, which is most commonly used in North America.
If you y using Mode 1, Mode 3, or Mode 4, you can change the Operating Mode without needing to send the transmitter for
service. Changing the Operating Mode requires changing the Mode Setting, swapping the throttle ratchets and spring on the
control sticks, then recalibrating the neutral and end-point positions of the control sticks.
