Congratulations! You now own a Hitec
R
Optic , an extremely
versatile
radio control system that may be effectively used by
both
beginning and master pilots. The transmitter may be
programmed
for aircraft/gliders or helicopters, all with special
mixing
functions, so it can accommodate many model
configurations.
You can store programming for eight different
models
in this powerful system! The transmitter will remember
all
of your settings for each of your different models forever -
no
backup battery is ever needed. With programmable shift, it
can
be used with all PPM/FM receiver models, even those
from
other brands! The system pushbuttons allow rapid data
input
into the easy-to-read LCD display. With its electronic
digital
trims, you'll never lose your trim positions again,
because
they stay at the same place you left them for every
model
stored in memory! You can select the on-off switches
for
many functions, and you can even assign the throttle to an
on-off
switch, great for electrics! Standard programming
features
include servo reversing for all channels, subtrims, end
point
adjust on all channels, dual rates (with choice of switch),
and exponential. Pre-programmed functions and programmable
mixers
allow you to use the system for any type of model you
can
imagine. For those learning to fly, the transmitter has
"buddy-box" capability, so that you may connect a second
Hitec
transmitter with an optional trainer cord part #58310 for
training
by an instructor pilot.
There are two aircraft menu's to choose from:
Aircraft/Glider preprogrammed mixing features include
flaperon
(dual aileron servos), flap trim, camber control,
landing
mixing, aileron differential, ailevator (dual elevator
servos), V-tail, elevon (for flying-wing models), landing settings,
throttle-cut,
throttle control select, aileron rudder mixing,
elevator
flap mixing, and crow mixing. Two programmable
mixers
are also provided for making your own custom functions.
The
second aileron may be set to plug into channel 5, so you
can
use the system with ultralight five-channel receivers
without any problems!
Helicopter features include five-point pitch and throttle curves,
high
and low revolution mixing, throttle cut, throttle hold, gyro
settings,
and rudder throttle mixing. You may select a
conventional
swashplate, or if you have a more complex
chopper,
mixing is provided for the 120 type of three-servo
swashplates.
Two programmable mixers are also provided for
making
your own custom functions or for custom
compensations.
Of course, the Optic helicopter menus have
the
four helicopter flight mode settings found in other radios
costing
hundreds of dollars more.
A
bout this manua
l
This manual has been carefully written from scratch to
be
as helpful to you, the new owner, as possible - it is
not
just a translation! There are many pages of setup
procedures,
examples, explanations, and trimming
instructions.
In order for you to make the best use of
your
system and to fly safely, please read this manual
carefully.
If you don't have time to read it thoroughly, at
least
spend some time browsing through it so that you
can
see all the features this fine system has to offer and
remember
them for future use.
