Transmitter Preparation
Please make sure you have fresh/charged batteries in your transmitter. If applicable,
set your transmitter model to the correct Airplane. JR
®
and Spektrum transmitters’
servo settings should be set to default (normal) servo direction. Futaba transmitters
(equipped with Spektrum modules) may require you to reverse the throttle channel.
We highly recommend using a radio that is capable of dual rates and expo. Although
the 4-Site can be flown on any DSM2 radio, it is recommended that you use a radio
with these features due to the quick response and aerobatic nature of the aircraft.
Transmitter Control Identication
Note: Before each flight you should ALWAYS turn the transmitter on before
connecting the flight battery to the receiver unit. After each flight, be sure
that you always disconnect the flight battery from the receiver unit before
powering the transmitter off.
