Brake  limiter:

    The  limiter  usually  is  set  at  100%  and  the  brake  power  is  adjusted 

trough the TX, but in the case that you need to limit the maxim brake power, you 
can decrease this setting to reduce the power applied to brakes.  

 

2.

 

Brake pulse ratio: 

The power to the brakes could be pulsed in order to produce a 

“ABS like” operation, brake power is pulsed at fast rate to avoid to create “flats” on 
the tires on hard braking. It is possible to adjust the brake pulses in different values 
to change the ratio between the “high power” and “low power” pulse depending on 
wheel diameter and model weight.

 

 

Servo sequencer setup 

The unit provides 3 independent outputs for to control the servo operated doors. All 3 
outputs  are  adjusted  by  the  same  procedure,  so  the  setup  of  only  one  output  is 
described 
 
It is possible to define 3 different positions for each output: 
 

Gear  Up  position

:  The  position  you  wish  that  the  servo  be  driven  when  the  gear  is 

retracted. Typically is a closed door.  
 

Gear Down position

: The position you wish that the servo be driven when the gear is 

extended. Depending on model type, could be a opened or closed door. 
 

Motor ON position

: The position of the doors when the retracts are moving, typically 

open. 
 
The setup of the position in each phase is easily done by the help of the steering input 
channel.  In  the  case  you  don’t  use  this  channel  on  your  installation  you  should 
temporarily connect a RC signal from the rx or from a servo  tester in order to operate 
the servos manually to the desired position. 
 
It is recommended to connect only the servo being adjusted to avoid the other servos to 
move uncontrolled during the setup. 
 

First  screen  is  the  “Servo  1  Gear  Up 
position”.  (

Picture 5

 
When  this  screen  is  displayed,  the 

servo1  OUT

  will  deliver  the  same 

signal  as  arriving  to  the  Steering 
input, so that you can move the servo
