[. . . ] 20 Power switch 2 1 Square level meter Level meter indicates the transmitter output power and indirectly shows power supply voltage. 22 Antenna 23 Antenna storage The opening is used for storage of the antenna while carrying the transmitter. 24 Handle/stand 25 Hook for neck strap 26 Transmitter Ni-Cad battery charging jack 27 Trainer cord socket Throttle servo 28 Transmitter RF module 29 Trimmer panel 6 Non-slip adjustable lever head The length of the lever head is adjusted to suit the operator. Unlock lever head (A) and (B), by turning them in the arrow direction, set head (A) to the desired length, then relock the heads. Low High Idle up amount is adjustable within this range with the knob 17 Fig. 9 Lever head (A) Lever head B 17 Idle-up trim control Sets the idling speed when the 16 idle-up switch is ON. 18 Throttle hold switch When this switch is set to ON, the throttle servo stops at the position set at the 1 2 trimmer and only the pitch servo operates. Both throttle and pitch servos mixing is performed when this switch if OFF. Similar to aileron dual rate, at dual rate ON, the rudder deflection can be adjusted with the rudder dual rate trimmer Fig. 10 Inside rear trimmer panel 1, 2 Aileron ATV (Adjustable Travel volume) trimmer [2] RIGHT is for the right aileron and 1 LEFT is for the left aileron. The servo travel volume is independently adjustable to the left and right from the neutral position. Travel adjustment ranges 0 to 100%. Neutral Right Left Adjustable with rudder ATV right knob (right full Aileron) Adjustable with the rudder ATV left knob (left full Aileron) Throttle servo Fig. 11 3 Aileron dual-rate trimmer adjusts the aileron travel when the 12 aileron dual-rate or VTR switch ON. 4 DR (dual-rate) <-> VTR (Variable Trace Ratio) switch 5 6 Aileron-rudder MIX trimmer (From aileron to rudder) Adjust the mixing volume and the mixingdirection of rudder. After linkage is completed adjust the MIX direction and amount with trimmers. MIX amount adjustment ranges 0--100% each, the same adjustment can be done even if the servo is reversed. 7 Aileron -> rudder switch mixing ON-OFF 14 Throttle -> Rudder mixing ON-OFF Switch This switch turns mixing from the throttle control (channel 3) to the rudder (channel 4) ON and OFF. 16 ·Connect the charging plug of the FBC-2 charger to the transmitter charging jack, connect the 3P connector of the FBC-2 to the receiver NiCad battery NR-4J, and plug the FBC-2 to a 110VAC (220V, 240V) outlet as shown in this figure. The TX and RX charging LED light; indicating that the batteries are being charged. ·The Receiver battery can be used about 10 times at 10 minutes per flight between rechargings. When the set is not in use for some time, repeat discharge and charge, two to three times before use. (If the batteries are not used for a long time, their capacity will go down). ·FBC-2 charges transmitter and receiver Ni-Cad batteries independently or simultaneously. TRAINER Connect the transmitters with the trainer cord (M-TC, purchased separately) as shown in Fig. When the switch is in the ON (pull) position, the student's transmitter operates and when the switch is in the OFF position, the instructor's transmitter operates. [. . . ] 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°. The shift to the right is 90° - (14. 4 x 6 ) =3. 6° To shift by the same angle in the opposite direction, use the opposite arm number. For a six arm horn, turn the arm counterclockwise and set arm 2 to the position of arm 1. [. . . ]
