Lemon RX Stabilizer PLUS Receiver – Essential Instructions v.1.5
4
Transmitters with only a two-position switch on channel 5, such as the older examples of DX4e and DX5e, as
well as programmable ones that lack the ability to assign a suitable three-position switch, can be set to
access either Gyro or Autolevel, but not both, as explained under Changing Mode Order (see page 9).
Alternatively, many such transmitters, including specifically the DX6i, can be programmed to control the
three modes by means of a pair of two-position switches. See Annexes D and E and the Reference Guide for
detailed information.
Servos and Power Sources
The Stabilizer PLUS receiver works well with a wide range of servos, both analog and digital. For optimum
stabilization, servos with relatively fast response times are preferred. Metal-gear servos may be used for
their shock resistance but they too are optional.
Be sure to use an ESC (speed control), BEC (battery eliminator) or battery with ample current capacity to
power the radio. Stabilization makes the servos work harder than unstabilized flight and thus generates
significantly higher current drain. A good rule to follow is to choose a BEC, whether internal to the ESC or
separate, that has at least 50% more capacity than you would use for a similar but unstabilized model. An
adequate power supply is vital because although the Stabilizer PLUS is highly resistant to short power
interruptions (<1s), after a longer power loss, several seconds are needed for a reset.
If possible, use a switching-type BEC (SBEC), either in the ESC or as stand-alone unit, for its ability to deliver
power without overheating and to cope with higher battery voltages. Linear BECs can also be satisfactory as
long as you stay within their voltage and servo limits.
