The stick tension can be adjusted from inside the transmitter.This allows you to customize the feel of the sticks to your
hands. NOTE: Be cautious when removing and replacing the transmitter backplate. Do not pinch or pull wiring har-
nesses or drop objects onto the PC board. Electrical short circuits may permanently damage the radio and void your
warranty. Remove the screws from each corner on the back of the transmitter (four total).The tension adjustment screws
are shown in figure 7.
The stick lengths can be adjusted also (see figure 8). Turn the stick head (a) counter-clockwise and stick head (b)
clockwise to unlock. Adjust the length to your preference and lock in reverse order.
CAUTION: Only train with an experienced pilot controlling the trainer transmitter!
The Tower Hobbies 4FM training cord system is Futaba
®
compatible (you cannot use an AM or PCM transmitter when
training with an FM radio, and vice-versa). Before training with the airplane, follow these important pre-flight checks:
1.
Connect the Tower Hobbies trainer cord (TOWM6080) to the trainer cord jack on the back of both transmitters (see figure 7).
2. Turn on the teacher’s Tx and the Rx switch harness in the model. Do NOT turn on the student’s transmitter (it will be
powered by the teacher’s radio).
3. Press and hold the trainer switch on the teacher’s Tx. Control of the aircraft is now passed on to the student’s Tx.
4. Set the trims and reversing switches on the student’s Tx to match the teacher’s Tx.
5. Release the trainer switch to allow the teacher to regain complete control of the model from the student.
6. You are ready to begin training.
To make your R/C modeling experience more enjoyable, we recommend that you get experienced, knowledge-
able help during your first flights. You’ll learn faster and avoid risking your model before you’re truly ready
to solo.
You can contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,300 chartered clubs across
the country. Most of the clubs provide instructor training programs and insured newcomer training. Contact the AMA at:
