The Reverse screen allows you to specify the direction of servo rotation for channels 1-8 of the active
model.
Reverse
1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “REVERSE” and press
the jog dial once to enter the reverse menu.
2. Scroll to the channel to be reversed and press the jog dial to
activate the selections:
NOR (default): Normal rotation.
REV: Reverse rotation.
3. scroll to select direction, then press the jog dial for
2 seconds to conrm the function.
4. Press the back button to return to the model menu.
The Sub Trim menu is used to make very ne adjustments to the center point, or “neutral point” of a
servo. It is typically preferable to have the servo arm 90° to the pushrod at the neutral point. Use sub trim
settings to attain this orientation. Then, adjust the length of the pushrod to achieve the desired neutral
control surface position.
Sub Trim
1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “SUB TRIM” and press
the jog dial once to enter the sub trim menu.
2. Scroll to the channel to be adjusted and press the jog dial to
activate the menu.
3. Rotate the jog dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to alter the
servo neutral point.
4. Once you have achieved the desired neutral point, press the
jog dial to conrm your change.
5. Press the back button to return to the model menu.
The Dual Rate (D/R) feature provides a method to dene two dierent values of servo movement (“rates”)
on the same channel. You may want low control rates during takeo and landing and higher rates when
performing aerobatics. One or more switches are assigned to allow the pilot to select high or low rates.
Exponential Rate (“EXP”) is a powerful function that is often used to make a twitchy model easier to
control. Negative exponential values typically make a model less sensitive to moderate control inputs,
yet you still have the same amount of overall control throw. Positive exponential values are generally
detrimental to a model’s controllability and should be avoided.
D/R & EXP
Before entering the D/R & EXP menu, it is helpful to decide which switch or switches you want to
control dual rates, as well as the switch positions that will be used for high-rates and low-rates.
The same switch can be used to manage dual rates for one or more control functions.
1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “D/R & EXP” and
press the jog dial once to enter the D/R & EXP menu.
2. Scroll to highlight the control function eld (RUDD, ELEV, etc)
and press the jog dial to activate the menu.
3. Rotate the jog dial to select the desired control function and
press the jog dial to conrm your selection.
Dual Rates
4. Locate the switch that you will use to control dual rates for this
function and move it to the desired position for high-rates.
5. Scroll to highlight the “D/R” eld and press the jog dial to
activate the D/R sub-menu.
6. When changing the servo movement angle for both “L/U”
(Left/Up) and “R/D (Right/Down) simultaneously,
you must press the button once again to select.
7. Rotate jog dial to increase (clockwise) or decrease
(counter-clockwise) the servo movement. “L/U” “R/D” setting is
to x the direction of the servo from neutral position for
aileron or rudder, and the maximum amount of up/down
movement for aileron is indicated in percentage.
Please check the maximum movement angle of the selected
direction and then pres jog dial to conrm the changes.
