FUNCTION SELECT SWITCH · This switch selects the function to be set (ATV, FS, BFS memory) or test (A or B) to be performed. It is also used in the RESET position to clear ATV, FS, and BFS memory (in conjunction with [46], [47], and 4 8 ) . Note: In RESET position, the Channel Select Switch 48 is used to designate the function(s) to be cleared. 1. FS ALL Switch to this position when setting fail safe for all channels, FS is described in the "HOW TO USE FS" section. 2. FS SELECT This position allows setting of fail safe and hold as described in the "HOW TO USE FS" section. 3. ATV This position allows setting ATV as described in the "HOW TO USE ATV" section. 4. TEST A This position allows servo test A as described in the "SERVO TEST" section. 5. TEST B This position allows servo test B as described in the "SERVO TEST" section. 6. BFS MEMO SET Switch to this position when setting the BFS release point as described in the "BATTERY FS MEMORY SETTING" section. 7. OFF Normally set to this position. 18 [49] Function select switch Fig. 23 ADJUSTMENTSANDFLIGHTTECHNIQUES ·2ND ATV (CONVENTIONAL) 2ND ATV is available on the aileron and elevator channels. This is the conventional type ATV and is set using trimmers [34], [35), [36], and [37] on the transmitter back panel. These adjustments are retained even if the transmitter battery reaches a full discharge state (Memory ATV settings are not. ). When the ATV trimmer is turned clockwise, the steering angle increases. When the ATV trimmer is turned counterclockwise, the steering angle decreases. The steering angle can be adjusted from 0 to 100%.

They are convenient when connecting the linkage. 19 [42]CH5 switch channel NORM: Forward REV: Reverse [44] Spoiler [40] Throttle [45]Pitch control [38]Aileron [41]Rudder [39]ElevatorFig. 25 ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES ·USING DUAL RATE (AILERON, ELEVATOR, AND RUDDER) Dual rate functions allow the flyer to alter the maximum servo travel (and therefore control sensitivity) during flight by using the appropriate rate switch. At D/R OFF, servo deflection is maximum in both directions (unless limited by ATV setAILERON DUAL RATE · The aileron rate switch 14 has two D/R ON positions. Rates can be adjusted to suit varying aircraft and maneuver requirements. [. . . ] Arm 3 shift 4. 8° to the right, arm 6 shifts 2. 4° to the left, and arm 4 shifts 7. 2° to the right and left. Fig. The amount of change per segment is; 360: 25=14. 4° 2) The minimum adjustable angle is determined by the number of arms or number of the holes. For four arms, the minimum adjustable angle is: To shift the holes center line to the right (clockwise) relative to baseline A, shift arm 2 to the position of arm 1 and set it to the position closest to baseline A. (Example] For a four arm horn, the angular shift per segment is 14. 4°. [. . . ]
