GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC 4-CHANNEL (Aileron/Flap/Rudder/Elevator) GLIDER
This guideline 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 with this powerful system than you may have already
considered. It follows our basic format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what we’re trying to
accomplish; a “by name” description of the steps to help acquaint you with the radio; and a step-by-step instruction to
leave out the mystery and challenge of setting up your model.
For additional details on utilizing each function, see that function’s section in this manual—the page numbers are indicated

GOAL of EXAMPLE:
STEPS:
INPUTS:
Prepare your aircraft.
Install all servos, switches, receiver per your model’s instructions. Turn on
transmitter then receiver; adjust all linkages so surfaces are nearly centered.
Mechanically adjust all linkages to get as close as possible to proper control
throws and minimize binding prior to radio set up.
Check servo direction and throws.
Make notes now of what you will need to change during programming.
Select the proper
MODEL TYPE
for your
model. (Ex:
GLID 1A+1F
.) See p. 61
[NOTE: This is one of several functions
that requires confirmation to make a
change. Only critical changes such as
a
MODEL RESET
require additional key
strokes to accept the change.]
