Symbol : Prohibited : Required step Flight safety precautions Warning Caution: read the following contents for your own or others safety; Carry out regular maintenance. The data of HORUS X12S is stored on SD card, the data can be not saved if the power is cut off directly, please follow the prompts when shut down the radio, and regular check shall be done. We suggest full inspection and maintenance to the device in the off-season annually to ensure safe operation. Pay attention to charging. (Please refer to the manual for detailed information.) Recharge the battery of the transmitter and receiver for at least eight hours before each flight. The low battery shall run out soon, which may probably cause the receiver being out of control and airplane crash. When starting the flight, the timer can be set at zero and you should pay close attention to the duration of the battery during the flight. Avoid flying during a low battery. Do not relay on the low battery alarm system of the remote controller to tell you when to charge. Regularly check the battery of transmitter and receiver before each flight. 5

6 Where to use We recommend you to use it at a certified club for RC models. You can enquire at your local dealer. In search of model clubs and fields. Please pay close attention to the relevant regulations uphold at the flying field, position of the spectators, wind direction and any obstacles inside the flying field, civil/military aviation and the local wild life. At the flying field If you place the transmitter standing upright on the ground before taking off, make sure the wind will not blow it over. If the transmitter is flipped on its front side, the throttle stick may rotate and lead to a sudden increase of the engines rpm. The knockdown might also do damage to the transmitter. In order to remain in full control of the airplane, it is crucial to keep the plane well within the limits of your eyesight. We do not recommend you to fly behind large objects such as tall buildings, which may cause reduction of radio frequency quality connected to the model, and will result in losing sign of sight. Don't block the antenna located above the transmitter screen during the flight, which may reduce the range of radio frequency transmission. For all radio frequency transmission, the strongest signal transmission region usually lies in the left side of transmitter antenna. Therefore, do not point the antenna directly at the model. If this happens during flight, you only need to move the antenna to the right angle. Don't fly it in the rain! The rain or moisture may come into the transmitter through the crack of antenna or control rod, which may cause unstable flight and even runaway. If the flight in wet weather is inevitable (such as races), please be sure to cover the transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof cloth. Flight is prohibited when lightning occurs. Safe use and handling of Ni-MH batteries Important The user can only use power adapter matching with FrSky or approved by FrSky to charge the battery of HORUS X12S transmitter. It is important to be aware about the discharge characteristics of Ni-MH battery. Please replace with info of used Ni-MH battery, battery in TX so need to open to read. If you do not follow the instruction, there is a high chance of inflicting terminal damage to the battery or transmitter and can even lead to fire. 6

There are a number of programmed mixes available for the selected type, the custom model selection allows the use of logic switch programming for a nearly endless amount programming possibilities. 20

21 Overview of the MODEL menu RF SYSTEM RF SYSTEM is divided into two segments, containing set up options for the internal IXJT and external RF module. The user can turn off the internal and external module during programming and/or simulator use, as well as choosing the receiver type and the amount of channels to be used. 1. (INTERNAL RF MODULE): Move the cursor to the icon behind "Internal RF to turn it ON or OFF (status of internal IXJT through) with the confirmation button. The MODE option allows switching between the different working modes of the internal IXJT module. (Which has three modes, D16, D8 and LR12) European (LBT protocol) users can choose between D16 and LR12, all other users (FCC protocol) can choose between D8, D16 and LR12. With D16 mode, the user can designate a number to the receiver using the RX NO feature. When users are numbering receivers using D16 mode and are using an X series receiver, the data will be stored in the receiver. This method allows the selected transmitter model to be paired with the receiver, and will thereafter only bind with the receiver if the transmitter has the appropriate model selected. The user can configure up to 64 individual X series receivers. This feature blocks the possibility of an accidental spool up of an engine due to a reversed channel after powering up with an incorrect transmitter model. We recommend you to assign multiple numbers to a receiver when 21

22 using it in more than one model. Channel Range can be used to select the amount of channels the user requires from the available internal IXJT module. The upper limit of the select-able channels in different modes depends on the amount and type of the used receiver. STATE is used enter bind mode (to connect a new receiver with the transmitter) and range check mode (The remote control distance in this mode is 1/30 of normal mode, and should only be activated during ground testing of the RF signal range!) ANTENNA allows the possibility to choose between the internal and external antenna. 2. (EXTENAL RF MODULE): These features are comparable to the internal RF module in D8, LR12 and D16 (depending on region). In these three modes, the external module must be an IXJT in order for it to work. When selecting PPM mode, the user can select DJT or other compatible RF modules. The positive and negative phase of the PPM signal can be reversed with the function button. Positive and negative can be selected, while positive is used for most modules. SERVO MONITOR On the illustration show below the monitor feature page is illustrated, the user can monitor the output value of each individual channel with a visual aid and a numerical value. The PgUp and PgDn buttons are used to switch between the 4 available menu pages to show a total of 32 channels. The monitor feature can be used to check the output signals of the programmed model, as well as checking the assigned mix, switch, stick, knob, and slider for function. Moving (repetition mode) and Neutral (fixed position mode) are available. The Neutral is good for finding the 22

23 neutral position of a servo horn. Check the function of the channel, whether it is normal or not. Avoid programming the transmitter when the model is powered (-off) and/or running, this to avoid accidents caused by accidental spool up of the motor. SERVO (CHANNEL) REVERSE The user can reverse the direction of each individual channel, the PgUp and PgDn buttons can be used to switch between the menu pages. Mounting a channel on which the signal direction needs to be changed, gives the user the following two options. NOR is the normal direction of movement and REV is the reversed movement option. SERVO SPEED The feature illustrated above is the servo speed menu, it contains 32 channels divided over 4 pages which are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn button. The user can adjust the cycle time by adjusting the values behind the corresponding channel. The higher the value the longer it takes for the servo to reach its programmed end point. It can be a useful tool setting up functions like retract, 23

24 flaps, speed brakes etc. END POINT The END POINT menu is used to adjust the travel range and to set up differential on channels such as the ailerons. The end points of all 32 channels can be set up here, they are divided over 4 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn button. Shown below (on the next page) is an example of the end point menu, after mounting the required channel, a travel range of +125 to -125 can be programed for each direction of travel. After setting up the LIMIT, the movement of servo won t exceed this programmed limit, even if an activated mix demands an increase of servo travel, this to prevent damage to the servo and/or control service hardware. The limit point can also be set up in this menu. Servo travel adjustment 1. Mount the desired Travel icon adjacent to the channel that needs to be adjusted, press the rotary button to make changes to the value. 2. Adjust the value by rotating the button. Initial value:-100%(~)+100% Adjustment range:-125%(~)+125% Press the Roller button a second time to exit. 3. Repeat these steps on all channels that needs to be changed. Limit point adjustment (see above) 1. Move the cursor to the limit point icon of the channel you want to adjust and push the Roller button to switch to data input mode. 2. Adjust the limit point by scrolling the Roller. Initial value:-110%(~)+110% Adjustment range:-125%(~)+125% Push the Roller button to end adjustment and return to the cursor mode. 3. Repeat this procedure on all channels that needs to be changed. 24

25 SUB TRIM Illustrated above is an example of the sub trim menu, a total of 32 channels can be adjusted, they are divided over two pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. This feature is used to set up the neutral position of the programmed hardware. A total range of -100 to +100 can be programmed, but if these high numbers are required, we advise you to check the hardware for proper installation. Be sure to check the flight control surfaces are in the neutral position at the start of each flight. The user can always use the regular trim switches to compensate for CG changes during use (gas airplanes etc.). TRIM STEP Illustrated above is an example of the trim step menu, here you can customize the steps size of all 6 individual trim buttons. If the selected model supports multiple flight conditions, the mode COMB will save one same trim for all available flight conditions, the mode SEPR will save separate trim for different flight conditions. FAIL SAFE The FAIL SAFE features primary function is to program the receiver function in case of a signal loss. We do not advice users to program the throttle channel other than in power off condition, 25

26 accidental spool up may happen if the transmitter switches off or if the signal connection is lost. Illustrated above is an example of the fail safe menu, a total of 32 channels can be adjusted, they are divided over 4 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. There are three modes available: HOLD, CUSTOM, and No Pulse. The factory default is Hold, (Hold: the receiver continues to output the last positions before signal was lost. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait several seconds for the fail-safe to take effect.). The failsafe setting is not supported on the radio side when D8 mode is used. When selecting the CUSTOM option, the user can program the value of the corresponding channel to the required setting during a loss of signal incident. No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no pulses on any channel. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait several seconds for the fail-safe to take effect. SPECIAL FUNCTION Illustrated above (on the previous page) is an example of the fail save menu, a total of 32 functions can be programmed, they are divided over 6 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. The user can program the transmitter to produce sounds, telemetry readouts and/or music when a switch is activated (including IMU, and haptic). Starting at the left column, it is used to engage and disengage (turn it on or off) the special function of the corresponding program line; in the second column a switch position can be assigned simply by operating it,; the third column 26

27 allows an selection from the type of actions that can be assigned; the fourth column only comes active if the previous selected column has multiple options to choose from, here you can select sound and music files. TELEMETRY SET Illustrated above are examples of the telemetry set menu, a total of 37 sensors can be programmed, they are divided over 37 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. Here the user can choose from a variety of sensors and customize each one of them. In addition, the user can customize the order of the tele button menu via the screen position icon located in the bottom left corner. An example of the screen position menu is shown on the illustration on the previous page. 27

28 SWITCH WARNING Most users will assign switches to functions like landing gear, flaps and engine/motor cut-off. Turning on the transmitter with incorrect switch positions may lead to an accidental spool up of the motor and/or activation of the flaps/landing gears. In order to avoid these circumstances, we added a safety feature to the boot sequence of the transmitter which checks the position of the throttle and switches, this to generate a warning sign as well as pausing the boot up, if the programmed conditions are not met. After placing the switches and/or throttle to the programmed required condition, the waning is discarded and boot up of the transmitter will be continued. INPUT MAP Illustrated above is an example of the input map menu, they are divided over 4 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. Here the user can change the location of the input signal, during normal use no changes need to be made in this menu. It does gives the user the opportunity to set it up as he/she desires. 28

29 OUTPUT MAP Illustrated above (on the previous page) is an example of the output map menu, a total of 32 channels can be assigned, they are divided over 4 pages and are accessible via the PgUp and PgDn buttons. Here the user can assign functions to the available channels, depending on the type and number receivers, up to 32 channels can be selected for a variety of tasks. CONDITION (HELICOPTER/GLIDER) The condition menu (illustrated above) supports up to five different flight conditions for helicopter and gliders. NORMAL, three flight conditions and a hold option. The user can assign switches to all but the normal conditions, we recommend the M-POS knob as it has 5 positions. The order of condition. Priority is HOLD as the highest then it degrades from the bottom to the top. For example, when the switches of IDLE2 and HOLD are both activated, the system prioritizes the HOLD condition. In addition, the user can set a time delay when changing between conditions to prevent accidents caused by incorrect switch operation, which may lead to injury and/or damage. It is crucial that conditions are set up properly as they can easily lead to unexpected system behavior. 29

30 MODEL (HELICOPTER) RATES/EXPO Show on the illustration above is an example of the rate/expo menu, here the user can set up multiple deflection range rates and exponential on a variety of functions, and can be assigned to switches and/or flight modes. The throttle channel expo (curve) can be set up here and/or in the throttle curve menu depending on the selected model type. Setting up dual rates: Mount the corresponding menu icon, and then select the function that you are going to set. On the function interface, you have to select appropriate points according to the configuration of flight mode and set the corresponding function curve one by one. Operation cursor (EXP curve) adjustment: Mount the EXP icon of the corresponding data point that you would like to adjust and press the rotary button to make the adjustments. Adjust the expo by rotating the rotary button. Initial value: 0% Adjustment range:-99% to +99% The EXP curve is used to adjust the sensitivity of the control inputs (around center to avoid over-controlling the model). This is mainly used on the ailerons, elevator and rudder to accommodate the need of the user. 30

31 PITCH CURVE Show on the illustration above is an example of the pitch curve menu, here the user can adjust the pitch curve on each individual flight mode to facilitate the required settings to ensure optimal operation. Open the function menu and on the interface of this function, the user can set different curves for pitch function on different flight conditions. The maximum points when setting pitch curves are seven (default) and the user can set pitch curves of less than seven points by switching point mode of pitch curves configuration according to specific configuration. Set reasonable values at corresponding points based on the number of points and finally obtain corresponding curves. THROTTLE CURVE Show on the illustration above (previous page) is an example of the Thr curve menu, here the user adjust the throttle curve on each individual flight mode to facilitate the required settings to ensure optimal operation. Please refer to the pitch curve chapter for a detailed description of the set up procedure. 31

32 THROTTLE HOLD Open the throttle hold menu, of which the interface is as shown in the figure. When enabling the function, the user can set a fixed value for the output of the throttle. Place the throttle stick to the target position and the column bar on the right side will show the corresponding value. The users only have to fill the value in POS numerical box. ACT is for the control of the function whether it is enabled or not. When it is not enabled and the flight is on HOLD condition, the user can still use the stick to control the throttle as on other conditions. THROTTLE CUT Show on the illustration above is an example of the thr cut menu, here the user can set up the throttle cut and trigger point features. Three parameters need to be set to ensure the throttle cut feature to operate safely. The first step is to assign a switch to operate the throttle cut protection; the second step is to select when the trigger (TRI) point activates (arms) the system. The third and final step is to set up the idle (off) position (SF) of the throttle stick to complete the arming procedure. This safety feature is used to protect the user from accidental spool up of the motor during ground handling. We advise you to always use this safety feature, and preferably in combination with the switch warning feature, to ensure safe operation. 32

33 THROTTLE MIX Show on the illustration below is an example of the throttle mix menu, here the user can mix throttle with aileron, rudder and elevator. The user has 2 rate options and the possibility to assign the mix to a switch and/or flight mode. CAUTION! This feature involves the throttle channel, when using without the THR cut safety feature the Motor will spool up during operation of programmed mix channels! Setting up throttle mix: If required the flight mode can be selected in the lower right corner of the menu (The default mode is NORMAL), I order to make changes the user must first activate (mount and change the INH icon to ACT) the required throttle mix. Then the required throttle setting can be mix in with elevator, rudder and aileron. The SW column allows the user to assign the desired mix to a switch to which allows it to be turned on or off. SWASH RING The function can achieve a larger rudder angle, which is applicable for the setting such as 3D Flight. Meanwhile, we can limit the stroke of swash ring within a certain range to prevent damage caused by too much action of swash ring when operating aileron and elevator. Adjustment to action value of swash ring: Place the cursor at the position of RATE and adjust the rate of action value (The default value is 100.) and the maximum position of aileron and elevator. 33

34 PITCH RUDDER The change of main rotor pitch and revolution will lead to reaction torque. The function can effectively coordinate the output relationship between the pitch and the rudder to avoid head vibration of rudder direction and restrain the drift and out of control caused by reaction torque. The change of pitch stick will affect the output of rudder channel, so the function is not applicable for helicopters with the function of tail lock. When the helicopter is using tail-lock function, drift can be improved by adjusting parameters on the gyroscope. Steps for setting: Select flight condition; choose to turn on the function of ACT ; make configuration according to personal habits and shift lever of transmitter; choose a suitable lever button on the transmitter to control the on and off of the function. Pitch rudder curve can be set through points less than seven. When setting mix curve, it should firstly starts from smaller values. Confirm the neutrality through hovering flight and obtain mix curves suitable for the model through constant adjustment between slow and high position of throttle. GYRO Show on the illustration below is an example of the gyro menu, here the user can remotely (if the installed model hardware support this feature) adjust the gain on a 3 axis gyro on each of the 5 available flight modes (The default value is 50). To guaranty correct operation off the gyro, closely follow the manual recommendations supplied with the unit. 34

35 MODEL (FIXED-WING, GLIDER) RATES/EXPO Under the mode of fixed-wing, the user can set five different rate curves for aileron, elevator and so on. Set corresponding switches on the receiver to control the switch and shift. The effective priority is D/R5 as highest and degrades from the bottom to the top. Under the mode of glider, the setting of dual rate is associated with flight mode (The setting of glider is similar to helicopter. Refer to helicopter for setting.) There is no need to set a separate start switch. When the flight mode takes effect, the corresponding rate curve will take effect at the same time. Please refer to the rates/expo of heli chapter for a detailed description of the set up procedure. THROTTLE CUT After opening throttle cut menu, the interface will display options of opening function and three parameters shall be set to enable the function: first one is the switch and position on the transmitter to trigger the function; second one is the critical position of triggering the function and the third one is the output value of throttle after triggering the function. This function shall take effect only when the throttle stick is below the critical value and the switch is triggered, whereas we 35

36 can quit the function only when the switch is in non-triggered position and the throttle is below critical value. THROTTEL HOLD The function of throttle hold can ensure fixed output of throttle. Open the menu and on the interface of this function, users can place the throttle stick to the target position and the columnar bar will show corresponding value. Users only have to fill the value in POS numerical box. This function will be active by select ACT and SW means the switch to trigger this function. Users can customize the switch and appropriate value for throttle output according to personal needs to achieve assured and easy flight and excellent flight experience on conditions such as cruise. PITCH CURVE (FIXED-WING) pitch. Note: The precondition for this function is that the propeller shall have the function of variable Under the mode of fixed-wing, the default for pitch curve is linear. However, the user can customize the configuration according to personal needs. 36

37 THROTTLE CURVE (EXCLUSIVE FOR FIXED-WING) Shown on the illustration above is an example of the thr curve menu, here the user can adjust the throttle curve. It is used to adjust the correlation between the transmitters throttle stick position and the actual power units power setting. On gas/glow engines throttle curves can be used to get a linear throttle response, by increasing the movement of the throttle servo were the engine generates les torque and reducing the movement on the top end to get the linear feel in the stick. On electric setups throttle curve can be used to reduce the lower end throttle range to reduce the sensitivity on overpowered planes to have better control during landing. Electric 3D pilots can use this feature to set up an idle to prevent the esc from switching off during low power throttle pulsing, this by only changing the first data point up until the required setting is reached. This last feature works great in combination with the throttle cut feature on a 3 position switch. Under the fixed-wing mode, the user can customize configuration by adopting not more than seven points according to personal habits, feel and different flight mission and draw up throttle curve to meet requirement of different users. AILERON DIFFERENTIAL On wings without a symmetrical air foil, identical aileron deflection will results in an uneven increase of drag and a reduction of lift, this due to the uneven airfoil shape created after the movement of the control surfaces. This will lead to (unwanted) coupling, and can be reduced by programming aileron differential (uneven aileron deflection) to equalize the drag numbers and reduce the loss of lift. When in a banked corner, the lower wing aileron deflection is set up to deflect less than the upper wing. 37

38 Shown on the illustration above is an example of the Ail DIFF menu, here the user can adjust the travel range of each roll direction. Up to 4 aileron (or 2x aileron and 2x flaperon(camber flap)) channels can be programmed, to a range from -100 (reversed signal) to +100 (normal operation). The user shall make reasonable adjustment according to the actual installation of server and performance of different models when doing rolling movement. (The system defaults four ailerons.) Always check for correct system behavior when modifying flight control related features, incorrect setup of the flight controls may lead to hazardous situations, damage and/or injury. FLAP SET Shown on the illustration above is an example of the FLAPSET menu, here the user can adjust the travel range on up to 4 flap channels to a range from -100 (reversed signal) to +100 (default setting),and adjust their individual neutral positions. FLP1 and FLP2 represent flaperon, FLP3 and FLP4 represent brake flap. Note: Changes within the DUAL RATE menu have an effect on most related functions, so always check double check the model after editing flight control related settings. For example, changing CAMFLP in the DR menu will have an effect on FLP and FLP2. Changes in direction and/or rate of FLP and FLP2 for each individual channels can be done in this menu. In the signal output menu of the 38

39 corresponding channel, the settings of these two functions are on the same output signal, and will both be effected making changes. AILERON CAMBER FALP Shown on the illustration above is an example of the AIL-CMBFLP mix menu, here the user can set up the flaperon mix. If the user experiences an insufficient roll rate during full aileron, deflection, or just wants to achieve the highest roll rate possible, the user can program flaps to function as ailerons (flaperons) via the AILERON CAMBER FALP menu. The intensity of the mix can be set up within a range of 0 to +100(125?), a switch can also be assigned here to give the user the option to turn it on or off and/or use it in combination with the dual rate function. The user must first activate the mix before changes can be made. Depending on airplane/glider configuration (Low-mid-high wing), coupling characteristics may change when mixing flaps with ailerons. AILERON BRAKE FLAP Shown on the illustration above is an example of the AIL-BRKFLP mix menu, here the user can program the brake flaps to function as ailerons, and assign it to a switch. 39

40 Please refer to the previous section for more information, the setup procedure is identical to the AILERON CAMBER FALP mix. BRAKE FLAP CAMBER FLAP Shown on the illustration above is an example of the BRKFLP-CMBFLP mix menu, here the user can program the camber flaps to function as brake flaps, and assign it to a switch. If the user experiences insufficient effect of brake flap function, or just wants to achieve the highest possible braking effect, the option to mix in the camber flaps is available in this menu. Not all models support this feature, as it depends on the travel range of the concerned servo geometry. For detailed setting, please refer to AILERON CAMBER FLAP. AILERON RUDDER Shown on the illustration above is an example of the AIL-RUD mix menu, here the user can assign a switch and mix aileron with rudder to compensate for coupling than may be generated on certain airplane/glider layout configurations. To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. This mix menu is not intended to set up V-tail type tail configurations, please refer to the V-TAIL menu for set up information. The primary function of this feature, is to allow the user to program automated 40

41 corrections to compensate for coupling. On some airplanes (depending on layout, airfoil type, etc.) a large coupling moment on the rudder (yaw) axis is generated when applying aileron, this due to the differential of frontal drag numbers generated by the difference in the created airfoil shapes (comparing LH and RH wing). To counter this some opposite rudder can be mixed, to reduce the work load of the pilot. Due to the difference and diversity of airplane structure (The system provides parameter adjustment for twin vertical tails rudder by default. If the airplane is equipped with single vertical tail structure, the user only has to set preceding parameters.), the user has to separately set the deflection direction and angle of the rudder. For detailed setting, please refer to AILERON CAMBER FLAP.)CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. RUDDER AILERON Shown on the illustration above is an example of the RUD-AIL mix menu, here the user can, assign a switch, activate and adjust the rudder to aileron(up to 4 channels) mix intensity, to compensate for coupling than may be generated on certain airplane/glider layout configurations. To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this feature, is to allow the user to program automated corrections to compensate for coupling. On some airplanes (depending on layout, airfoil type, etc.) a large coupling moment on the aileron (roll) axis is generated when applying rudder, this can occur on models where the rudder moment force is applied above/below to the center of gravity. To counter this some opposite aileron can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. Since the rudder has certain coupling effect and interaction with ailerons on operating effect, the mix control of rudder aileron can enable simultaneous movement of ailerons and rudder stick, which can be used to improve disadvantageous sideward flight caused by rolling or improve low speed horizontal rolling for models using rudder to make turning. The setting method is the same as AILERON CAMBER FLAP. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 41

42 RUDDER ELEVATOR (FIXED-WING) Shown on the illustration above is an example of the RUD-ELE mix menu, here the user can assign a switch, activate and adjust the mix intensity, this to compensate for coupling than may be generated on certain airplane/glider layout configurations. To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this feature, is to allow the user to program automated corrections to compensate for coupling. On some airplanes (depending on layout, airfoil type, etc.) a large coupling moment on both the elevator (pitch) and rudder (yaw) axis is generated when applying rudder. To counter this some nose up/down elevator can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. The mix control of rudder elevator can enable simultaneous movement of elevator and rudder, which can improve accidental change of elevating direction for special models when making rolling movements. This function can be achieved by adjusting curves. The option behind ACT can activate or deactivate this function by selecting the active switch on the transmitter. If you do not select the switch, the function will be always on by default. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 42

43 CABMER MIX Shown on the illustration above is an example of the CAMBER MIX menu, here the user can assign a switch and mix elevator with ailerons (on all 4 channels). To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this feature is to compensate for the changing balance of the airplane/glider after extending de flaps. The reason for this is that by extending the flaps, the user is reducing the wing cord length (length of the airfoil), airfoil shape and drag number as well as increasing lift. This result in a change in balance as the wing characteristics have changes but the center of gravity remained constant. To counter this some nose up/down elevator can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. This function can adjust the attitude and elevating force of the airplane through overall control on the change of camber control surface (including ailerons and flaps) and meanwhile ensure flight balance by changing elevator. The setting of this function is the same as AILERON CAMBER FLAP. ELEVATOR CAMBER Shown on the illustration above is an example of the ELE-CAMBER mix menu, here the user can assign a switch and mix in aileron(slave) with elevator(master) (on all 4 aileron channels). To 43

44 enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this feature is to either add lift or reduce lift during elevator operation. The positive lift effect can be used during takeoff and landings (may increase the susceptibility to a tip stall!), and reduce the turning radius of a loop. The negative lift can be used to reduce wing rock (tip stall) during high alpha attitudes etc. Beware of the lift bleeding effect during high speed exit out of a dive, as the reduced/reversed lift will make the airplane/glider slip (drift), this may result In a high speed collision with the ground. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. This function enables simultaneous movement of camber control surface and elevator. For example, if you want to climb by pulling elevator, the camber control surface (flaps, ailerons) will swing downward to improve elevating force. The setting of this function is the same as AILERON CAMBER FLAP. CAMBER FLAP ELEVATOR Shown on the illustration above is an example of the CMPRFLP-ELE mix menu, here the user can assign a switch and mix elevator (slave) with flaps (master). To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this feature is to compensate for the changing balance of the airplane/glider after extending de flaps. The reason for this is that by extending the flaps, the user is reducing the wing cord length (length of the airfoil), airfoil shape and drag number as well as increasing lift. This result in a change in balance as the wing characteristics have changes but the center of gravity remained constant. To counter this some nose up/down elevator can be mixed in, to reduce the work load of the pilot. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. If the lower swing angle of camber flap changes, the pitch attitude of airplane may also change. This function can enable simultaneous movement of elevator and camber flap to ensure the stability when switching flight attitude. The user can set on and off of this mix control function. If 44

45 you do not set a mechanical switch on the transmitter, the function will be always on by default. V-TAIL Shown on the illustration above is an example of the V-TAIL menu, here the user can program the V-tail airplane/glider mix. Up to 5 flight modes can be programmed, as well as changing the signal direction of the rudder and elevator. This function is used to adjust the swing rate and swing direction of V-tail. Below the function of elevator and rudder, the customer can separately adjust the rate and direction of ELE and RUD. AIRBRAKE (FIXED-WING) Shown on the illustration above is an example of the AIRBRAKE menu, here the user can assign a knob, switch or slider to function as airbrake. When using 4 wing servos, the user can individually program them to extend in opposite direction (2 up, 2 down), this to maximize brake force will maintaining aerodynamic balance. The elevator can be mixed in to ensure stable flight (pitch axis) during brake operation, and/or to increase the maximum braking force. Airbrakes are mostly used during landing, or to loss altitude fast. Used on conditions when the airplane is going to land or descend. The function of air brake can increase the resistance and 45

46 elevating force to reduce requirements to gliding speed and length of runway. On the interface of this function, the user can preset offset value for ailerons, flaps and elevators. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. SNAP ROLL (FIXED-WING) Shown on the illustration above is an example of the SNAP ROLL menu, here the user can program the four directions of a snap roll and assign each direction to a separate switch as well as setting up the deflection rate of the three control surfaces. We installed a safety feature via an activation switch to prevent accidental operations in the pits and/or during landings etc. To enable changes to be made, the user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. Use PgUp and PgDn to scroll between menus the two menu pages. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. AILERON ELEVATOR (FIXED-WING) Shown on the illustration below is an example of the AILEVATOR menu, here the user can mix elevator with aileron. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 46

47 This function provides the deflection setting for ailerons and elevators in different directions. The system offers twin elevator setting by default. In case the airplane is equipped with single vertical tail elevator, the user only has to set the preceding one. And the aileron can control on and off by itself. RUDDER SET (GLIDER) Shown on the illustration below is an example of the RUD SET menu, here the user can assign and set up rudder deflection limits and signal direction on 5 different flight modes. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 47

48 RATE/EXPO Show on the illustration above is an example of the rate/expo menu, here the user can set up multiple deflection range rates and exponential on a variety of functions, and can be assigned to switches and/or flight modes. The throttle channel expo (curve) can be set up here and/or in the throttle curve menu depending on the selected model type (not sure). The function provides setting of corresponding double adjustable curves of control surfaces and rudder effect operated by different control on different/specific flight conditions to enable efficient and personalized configuration and flight experience. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related features. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. MOTOR (GLIDER) Shown on the illustration below is an example of the MOTOR menu, here the user can assign and switches to set up a save and a start (armed) position. If no safety switch is assigned, the default setting is always disarmed. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. This function provides motor setting for gliders with power. The user can activate the function 48

49 and configure motor-on switch on the transmitter. If you do not select it, the function will be always on by default. MOTOR CURVE (GLIDER) Shown on the illustration below is an example of the MOTOR CURVE menu, here the user can assign a switch, adjust the throttle curve to make the throttle response linear on gas/glow engines, or set an idle speed on electric motors to prevent the motor from turning of during throttle blip-ping (pulsing). On gas/glow engines a higher idle speed can be programmed to prevent an in-flight shut down due to flight related drag that overpowers the torque generated at idle rpm. In the glider mode, the user can activate the function of motor curve and configure throttle curve according to personal needs to achieve different feel and excellent flight feel and experience. If you do not make any adjustment, the system offers linear curve by default.. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to throttle channel. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected spool up of the motor, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. BUTTERFLY (GLIDER) This function can achieve strong braking effect through simultaneous operation of upward movement of all ailerons (master, slave) and downward movement of all flaps (camber flaps and brake flaps). The user shall firstly select corresponding flight condition, activate mix control of butterfly and switch the on and off of this function through switch preset on the transmitter. Shown on the illustration below is an example of the BUTTERFLY menu, here the user can assign a knob, switch or slider to function as airbrake. 2 different rates can be set up for the 5 available flight modes, depending on the users needs. When using 4 wing servos, the user can individually program them to extend in opposite direction (2 up, 2 down), this to maximize brake force will maintaining aerodynamic balance. The elevator can be mixed in to ensure stable flight (pitch axis) during brake operation, and/or to increase the maximum braking force. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 49

50 TRIM MIX (GLIDER) Shown on the illustration above is an example of the TRIM MIX menu, here the user can set up the required trim depending on the corresponding flight mode. The user must first activate the mix by selecting the ACT icon it the bottom right of the screen. The primary function of this menu feature is to accommodate multiple trim setting depending on the selected flight mode, giving the user the option to trim each mode depending on the requirements. It can be used to set up the glider to make a smooth turn when riding a thermal etc., this to reduce the work load of the pilot. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related mixes. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. MODEL (MULTI-ROTOR) RATE/EXPO Show on the illustration blow is an example of the rate/expo menu, here the user can set up multiple deflection range rates and exponential on a variety of functions, and can be assigned to switches and/or flight modes. The throttle channel expo (curve) can be set up here and/or in the 50

51 throttle curve menu depending on the selected model type. After opening the function menu, the user can set rate for ailerons, elevators and rudders according to different flight modes. When switching to this mode, the function takes effect automatically (default) and the user can configure a switch on the transmitter to enable the effectiveness of the function. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related features. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. THROTTEL CURVE Shown on the illustration below is an example of the THR CURVE menu, here the user can adjust the throttle curve. It is used to adjust the correlation between the transmitters throttle stick position and the actual power units power setting. On gas/glow engines throttle curves can be used to get a linear throttle response, by increasing the movement of the throttle servo were the engine generates les torque and reducing the movement on the top end to get the linear feel in the stick. On electric setups throttle curve can be used to reduce the lower end throttle range to reduce the sensitivity on overpowered models to have better control during landing etc. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to throttle channel. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected spool up of the motor, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. 51

52 MODE The transmitter supports up to five individual flight modes, the priority order goes from top to bottom, the user can assign switches to change between modes but we recommend to use the 5 position M-POS knob. CAUTION! Always check for correct system operation, after making changes to a flight control related features. Failure to do so can lead to unexpected system behavior, and may result in damage and/or serious injury. GYRO Show on the illustration below is an example of the gyro menu, here the user can remotely (if the installed model hardware support this feature) adjust the gain on a 3 axis gyro, on each of the 5 available flight modes (The default value is 50). To guaranty correct operation off the gyro, closely follow the manual recommendations supplied with the unit. With this function, the user can configure the rate for three axis gyroscope according to different flight mode and personal needs to achieve appropriate sensitivity and good flight experience. If you switch to corresponding flight mode, the preset sensitivity shall take effect automatically. The user can also configure a switch to control the effectiveness of the function. 52

53 MODEL (CUSTOM MIX) MIXER In order to meet the demands of different players and fulfill flight mission of customized models, the user can customize mixer configuration to achieve personalized operation and fancy playing and greatly enhance flight experience. The user can edit 32 mixers in total from MIXER1 to MIXER32 and switch to different mixers through PgUp and PgDn. The first four mixers are named AIL, ELE, THR and RUD by default and the user can change names of each mixer. Each mixer can be considered as one channel, however there is no sequence differences among all of them. The detailed output sequence is determined by mixer of corresponding channels in output map. Place the cursor to EDIT and press ok to enter the modification interface of each mixer and then press ok after modification to save. Place the cursor to the following mixer list and the first slot in the list will light up. At this time press ok to select slot and switch to different slots through roller and press ok again and an operation box will pop up for edit, create and delete. Edit: Edit the currently selected slot. Create: Create a new slot below the selected one. Delete: Delete the currently selected slot. Edit of slot. 53

54 Interface 1 The interface is about some basic settings of the slot, which from the top to the bottom are ENABLE - control the effectiveness of the; SRC the control source of the slot; SW - enable switch; METHROD- algorithm of mixer control and FLIGHT CON- flight mode. The flight mode and SW has a relationship of and, which means the slot will take effect and participate in the algorithm of mixer control only when the switch is on and it is in corresponding flight mode. If the option of SW is -, it means on by default. Interface 2 The second interface is for the setting of coefficient (i.e. rate) when participating in the algorithm of mixer control. Separate setting shall be done divided into two parts at the midpoint of the control source and five different coefficients can be set in total. The user can configure switches for these five coefficients for on or being effective when entering a certain flight mode (SW and FLIGHT CON have a relationship of or.). When several coefficients take effect, algorithm shall be executed based on w5 with top priority and w1 lowest. 54

55 Interface 3 The third interface is for the setting of OFFSET values for five groups. The setting and execution relationship is basically the same as interface 2. Interface 4 This interface is for the setting of five curves for the slot and the curves are directly called, which need to be edited in CURVE LIB and other settings and execution relationship is basically the same as interface 2. 55

56 OUTPUT MAP The user can freely define mixers which have been edited to certain channels for output, which is more convenient when the consequence of output needs to be changed. (It is basically consistent with OUTPUT MAP in normal modes. (See general function/ output map). LOGIC SWITCH The user can set two sources involved in logical algorithm, which can be on/off status, values 56

57 of channels etc. and select the method of logic algorithm and then a logic switch is created. When the result of logic algorithm is true, the corresponding logic switch will be on. SPECIAL FUNCTION Same as special function in normal modes. (See general function/special function) CURVE LIB The user can preset a number of curves for direct call on mixer editing interface, which can eliminates the trouble of creating curves and save lots of energy and time. 57
