IMPORTANT: The included receiver has been programmed specifically for operation in this aircraft.
If your transmitter allows it, enable the throttle cut feature. Always engage throttle cut before approaching the aircraft.
Dual Rates
Low rate is recommended for the initial flights.
NOTICE: To ensure AS3X® technology functions properly, do not lower rate values below 50%. If lower rates are desired, manually adjust
the position of the pushrods on the servo arm.
NOTICE: If oscillation occurs at high speed, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Exponential
After first flights, you may adjust expo in your transmitter.
Transmitter Telemetry Setup
If the transmitter that you intend to use with this aircraft is not displaying telemetry data, visit spektrumrc.com and update your firmware.
With the latest firmware installed on your transmitter the telemetry option should now be functional on your transmitter.
Some of the terminology and function locations used in the iX12 and iX20 programming may be slightly different than other Spektrum
AirWare™ radios. The names given in parenthesis correspond to the iX12 and iX20 programming terminology. Consult your
transmitter manual for specific information about programming your transmitter.
The settings provided above for the DX6 and DX6e do not allow for the use of a SAFE Select switch. To use a SAFE Select switch on
these systems see the section below for transmitter setup and operation information.
