Now you will set your high and low pitch in normal mode, and your low, half, and high pitch
settings for stunt modes 1 and 2 and throttle hold. Adjust the points between the center and high/low
stick as needed. For a CCPM helicopter, adjust the amount of pitch travel you have, by pressing the up
key until you get to Swash Mix. Adjust the Pitch value by pressing the CH key down so the arrow
points at PIT, and adjust the value with the + and – keys until you are able to have the pitch travel
required.

Throttle Curve Set-Up
The throttle curves will be set similar to the graphs below. The throttle curve can vary greatly
due to engine and muffler combinations, to it will be necessary to fine tune and adjust these values
during test flights to achieve a constant main rotor rpm for each flight mode and every maneuver.
Adjust these values as required, and do so in the same way as adjusting the pitch curves.
Gyro Set-Up
Most gyros come with good set-up directions. Follow these when setting up the gyro. The
helicopter kit will also most likely have some settings for the gyro for that helicopter. If you have a gyro
that has adjustable gain from the transmitter, you will adjust the gain in the 8103 by using the function
GYRO SENS. Press the up key until you get this on the top of the screen. Plug the gain lead from the
gyro into your gear channel. Press the + key and it will activate the gyro sensitivity set up. You can put
the gain adjustment on the rudder dual rate switch, or change it to the flight mode switch by pressing the
+ key one more time. Press the select key once and you can now adjust the gain settings for position 0
and 1, and you will use the CH key to go between them. If you put it on the flight mode switch, you can
also press select one more time, and adjust what gain the gyro will be in each flight mode. Usually you
