A QUICK GUIDE: GETTING STARTED WITH A 

BASIC

 4-CHANNEL AIRCRAFT

This guide is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and 
to give you some ideas and direction in how to do even more than you may have already considered. It follows our basic 
format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what we accomplish; a “by name” description of what we're 
doing to help acquaint you with the radio; then a step-by-step instruction to leave out the mystery when setting up your 
model.
For additional details on each function, see that function's section in this manual. The page numbers are indicated in the 
goals column as a convenience to you. 

See p.17 for a legend of symbols used. 

GOALS of EXAMPLE

STEPS

INPUTS for EXAMPLE

Prepare your aircraft.

Install all servos, switches, receivers per your model's instructions. Turn on 
transmitter then receiver; adjust all linkages so surfaces are nearly centered. 
Mechanically adjust all linkages as close as possible to proper control throws. 
Check servo direction. Make notes now of what you will need to change during 
programming.

Name the model.
