5.2 STICK ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE STICK TILT ANGLE
The tilt angle of the stick units can be adjusted through about
5° using the 1.5 mm A/F allen key supplied; this facility is desi-
gned to enable you to set the sticks at the optimum er
gono-
mic position.
Turning the screw to the right: stick tilted outward
Turning the screw to the left: stick tilted inward
Take care not to loosen the screws further than necessary.
STICK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The length of the primary sticks is infinitely variable, and can
be adjusted to suit the pilot’
s preference.
Loosen parts A and B
Set the stick-top to
the desired length
Lock part B against
part A.
ADJUSTING THE CENTRING SPRING FORCE
On both stick units the return force of the springs is infinitely
variable, and can be adjusted to suit your personal prefer
ence.
The first step is to remove the transmitter back panel.
Adjust the centring spring force using the 1.5 mm A/F allen key
supplied.
Turn to the right = increased spring tension
Stick ratchet / brake
The stick units feature both a ratchet function (fixed-wing
m
odels) and a brake function (helicopters) for the throttle func-
tion, which does not have a self-neutralising action. It is possi-
ble to activate this function and adjust the ratchet / brake
force. Naturally, this adjustment can only be carried out on the
throttle stick (depending on the stick mode).
Adjustments are carried out externally: remove the rubber cap
on the left or right of the transmitter back panel, according to
your chosen stick mode. Use the 1.5 mm allen key (supplied)
to activate the ratchet or brake spring, and adjust the spring
force.
ACTIVATING THE RATCHET FUNCTION
For fixed-wing air
craft applications the thr
ottle stick is usually
employed with a ratchet spring. The ratchet is applied by care-
fully tightening the ratchet spring screw (turning to the right)
until the throttle stick “feels” right to you. Take care not to acti-
vate the brake function at the same time; you may need to
unscrew the brake spring screw slightly.
ACTIVATING THE BRAKE FUNCTION
The ratchet function should first be disabled by unscre
wing the ratchet spring.
Now tighten the brake spring car
efully (to the right) until
the throttle brake “feels” right to you.
The ratchet and brake function cannot be activated at the
same time, as they effectively overlap.
5.3 STICK MODE, THROTTLE RIGHT / LEFT
As supplied, the transmitter is set up in Universal mode, i.e.
both sticks have a self-neutralising action.
Most users will wish to convert one of the two sticks to a rat-
chet or brake function in the vertical plane, to pr
oduce a non-
neutralising thr
ottle function.
The first step is to locate a small bracket in the transmitter
accessory bag. Attach the bracket as shown, using the spring
force adjustor screw; this raises the return spring.
You can now activate the ratchet or brake spring and adjust
the force using the 1.5 mm A/F allen key supplied.
It is very easy to convert the transmitter from throttle-left to
throttle-right, and the task takes just a few minutes.
The stick mode is selected in the Transmitter control settings /
Stick mode sub-menu of the System menu. When you set up
a new model or change the model type, the transmitter soft-
ware suggests a channel (function) sequence in accordance
with the selected stick mode. Stick modes 1 … 4 can also be
set by re-assigning the transmitter controls, thanks to the abili-
ty to select any sequence of channels within the “Function”
menu.
