1. Once you have followed the diagrams for

connecting the airborne components of your

VG400/VG600 FM radio control system and

you have studied and understood the diagram

illustrating the transmitter control stick

functions, you are ready to energize the

system and study its actual operation.

2. Switch on the transmitter, then switch on the

airborne package. The system is now

energized. There maybe some initial

movement in the servos even though you have

not moved the transmitter sticks. THIS IS

NORMAL. Once they have found a position,

they will stay there.

3. Now follow the diagram indicating the

transmitter’s control functions by moving

each stick and watching the reaction of the

servo or servos. Move the small black trim

levers and note the slight servo movements.

Keep these all centered through the

installation of your system in your model.

They will be used in actual flight or operation

of the model to adjust servo position

slightly…a process called “trimming”. If the

airborne system fails to operate, charge the

battery pack as outlined in the Battery

Charging Section of Installation and

Guidelines.

4. Switch off the receiver, then switch off the

transmitter. GET USED TO THIS

SEQUENCE: When turning the system off,

TURN THE RECEIVER OFF FIRST, THEN

THE TRANSMITTER. When turning the

system on, the proper sequence is to TURN

ON THE TRANSMITTER THEN THE

RECEIVER.

SECTION V

FOR OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

FOR SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF

YOUR RADIO CONTROL MODEL, IT IS

IMPORTANT TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND OBTAIN TRAINING

IN THE OPERATION OF YOUR MODEL FROM A

WELL-EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUAL.

At this point, having followed all of the instructions,

directions and guidelines contained in the earlier

sections of this manual and having completed your

model and installed your VG400/VG600system

observing the directions and guidelines contained in the

separate manual entitled “FUNDAMENTALS AND

GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR

AIRTRONICS SYSTEM”. We present here general

instructions concerning the process of learning to use

your VG400/VG600 System. Most of what is stated is

directed toward those using the system in a powered

model aircraft. However it is equally applicable to

sailplanes.

It should be re-emphasized that before you make initial

use of your completed model, you should have one or

more persons who are thoroughly experienced in the

field of radio controlled modeling completely go over

the model prior to your use to make certain you have

properly installed your VG400/VG600 system and

followed all of the directions given in this manual as

well as the Instruction Manual. We recommend that the

individual(s) who are “checking out” your model be

shown these two manuals and that you and they review

all of the materials contained in them to make certain

that you have followed all directions and guidelines and

understand the warnings that have been given. This

should be done even if you are obtaining flight training

from experienced and competent flyers.

SERVO REVERSING:

The VG400/VG600 FM transmitters include servo

reversing on all channels. This feature makes it possible

to select the direction of the servo rotation of the

channels. Consequently, servo installation is greatly

simplified and the direction of the servo rotation

becomes unimportant. The servo reversing switches are

located in the front center of the transmitter faceplate.

THROTTLE END POINT ADJUSTMENT:

Both VG400 and VG600 have a new feature that will

allow you to set the high and low-throttle end points. By

moving the throttle stick to high-throttle, you can adjust

the TH-H adjustment clockwise to increase servo travel

or counter clockwise for less travel. For low-end

adjustment you will use the same sequence as just stated

but set the throttle stick to low throttle and use TH-L

adjuster.

SERVO TRAVEL VOLUME ADJUSTMENT (VG600

Only)

This new feature will allow you to adjust servo travel

for Aileron, Elevator, Aux Flaps and Rudder. Moving

the adjuster clockwise will increase total servo travel.

Moving the adjuster counter clockwise will decrease

total servo travel. This is very useful when setting up a

model for the first flight or you find you need more or

less control for the model aircraft.
