Indicators Setup” menu under the “OSD Setup” menu. Here is a

brief description of these:

5.14.6.1 Speed Ladder

The speed ladder shows the present ground speed of the

aircraft, on the left side of the screen.

If the optional pitot airspeed sensor is connected, you

can display airspeed (instead of ground speed) on the ladder by

changing the “Use Pitot Spd for RTH/Ladder” setting.

5.14.6.2 Altitude Ladder

The altitude ladder shows the present barometric altitude of the aircraft, on the right side of the screen.

5.14.6.3 RADAR

The RADAR readout is an intuitive feature which makes it easier to keep track of your model’s location relative

to home, and the direction your model is traveling relative to the direction the pilot is facing.
