If you confirm your choice by briefly pressing the SET
button of the right-hand touch-key, you automatically
move to this line:
In this line you trigger the bind process between model
memory and receiver, as described in detail on page 88.
Without this step you cannot address the receiver.
The next step is to press the
arrow button of the
left-hand or right-hand four-way touch-key to move up
into the first line, where you can start the actual model

page 82 for more details of this.
In the “
Rotor direction
” line we enter the direction of
rotation of the main rotor as viewed from above. In the
“Collective
pitch min
.” line set “forward” or “rear” to suit
your personal preference. This setting applies equally to
all subsequent mixers, and it is therefore vital that you
do not change it later in order to alter
