Why you should use the DSC function:
1.
The DSC enables you to check the control sur
faces of your
airplanes without drawing the fully operational 2
00 mAh from
your transmitter batter
y pack. Instead, you will only draw 7
0
mAh when using the DSC function.
2.
The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to
your airplane without transmitting any radio signals. Therefore, if
another pilot is flying on your frequency, you can still adjust your
airplane and not interfere with the other pilot’s aircraft.
Note:
Under no circumstances should you attempt to fly your
airplane with the DSC cord plugged in! This function is for
bench checking your airplane only
