When changing modes that swap throttle and elevator positions it’s necessary

to recalibrate the sticks. When the mode change is programmed, the calibration

screen will automatically appear the next time the transmitter is turned on and the

following screen appears.

To calibrate, move the sticks throughout their range then back to center including

the throttle. Once all sticks have been centered, press SAVE to complete

calibration.

The DX8 offers adjustable tension on the throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder

sticks. Rubber plugs are installed in the back of the case allowing easy access to

the stick tension screws without having to remove the back case.

Step 1. Remove the two rubber plugs and pull back the grips as shown to

access the throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder tension screws.

Step 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, adjust the stick tension screw for the

desired control. Clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.

Step 3.

When satisﬁed with the stick tension, reinstall the grips and rubber plugs

The DX8 allows you to adjust the control stick’s length. Use the included 2mm

Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew by turning it counterclockwise. Then, turn

the stick clockwise to shorten or counterclockwise to lengthen. After adjusting the

control stick length tighten the 2mm setscrew.

For sophisticated aircraft that contain signiﬁcant amounts of conductive/reﬂective

materials (e.g., turbine-powered jets, some types of scale aircraft, aircraft with

carbon fuselages, etc.), the following advanced range check is recommended. This

Advanced Range Check allows you to evaluate the RF performance of each

individual internal and remote receiver and optimize the locations of these receivers.

1. Plug a ﬂight log or the telemetry module (optional) into the data port in

the receiver and turn on the system (transmitter and receiver). If using the

Telemetry module, make sure it’s bound to the receiver.

2. Advance the Flight Log until F- frame losses are displayed, by pressing the

button on the ﬂight log. Or advance the screen on the DX8 to show the ﬂight

log telemetry.

3. Have a helper hold your aircraft while he/she observes the Flight Log data.

4. Standing 30 paces away from the model, face the model with the transmitter

in your normal ﬂying Position. Place the transmitter in the range test screen

and push and hold the trainer button on top of the transmitter. This causes

reduced power output from the transmitter.

5. Have your helper position the model in various orientations (nose up,

nose down, nose toward the transmitter, nose away from the transmitter,

etc.) while watching the Flight Log, or the on screen telemetry noting any

correlation between the aircraft’s orientation and Frame Losses. Do this for

1 minute. The timer on the DX8 can be used here. For giant-scale aircraft,

tip the airplane up on its nose and rotate it 360 degrees for one minute, then

record the data. Next, place the airplane on its wheels and do a second test,

rotating the aircraft in all directions for one minute.

6. After one minute, release the trainer switch. A successful range check will

have recorded zero frame losses. Scroll the Flight Log through the Antenna

fades to evaluate the performance of each receiver. Antenna fades should

be relatively uniform. If a speciﬁc antenna is experiencing a high degree of

fades, then that antenna should be moved to a different location.

7. A successful Advanced test will yield the following:

H- 0 holds

F- 0 frame losses

A, B, R, L- Antenna fades will typically be less than 100. It’s important to

compare the relative antenna fades. If a particular receiver has signiﬁcantly

higher antenna fades (2 to 3X), then the test should be redone. If the same

results occur, move the offending receiver to a different location.
