User Manual

Thank you for purchasing the JR
®
Sport RS6UL FM Receiver.
The RS6UL is a high-performance receiver specifically designed
for hand-launch gliders, park and slow flyers, or small gas planes
up to approximately .30-size. The RS6UL, featuring JR’s
patented ABC & W interference-fighting technology, exceeds the
AMA standards for 2im and 3im for unmatched reliability. The
RS6UL also features an outstanding operating range that puts it
at the top of the class in micro receiver performance.
The RS6UL is available in either positive shift (JR, Airtronics), or
negative shift (Futaba, HiTec) versions.
SPECIFICATIONS
Size: 1.38” x 0.75” x 0.50”

RANGE TESTING
Prior to the initial test flight of the model, a range test should be
performed to insure proper operation. When properly installed,
the RS6UL should have a minimum ground range (Tx antenna
down) of approximately 20–25 paces. If the range is less, check to
insure that the receiver antenna is extended and routed outside
of the model. The receiver antenna should also be positioned as
far away from other electrical components (motor, speed control-
ler, servos, etc.) as possible. Please
contact the Horizon Service Center for further instructions.
SERVO CONNECTION
Unlike other JR
®
receivers, the brown (negative) wire on the
servo leads should face upwards toward the RS6UL’s top label.
If the servo leads are installed in the opposite (standard) direc-
tion, the servos will not function. Since the RS6UL is designed
with center pin positive polarity, no damage will occur from
improper connection of JR servos.
ACCESSING THE 6TH CHANNEL
When using a separate battery power source (mainly with
glow-powered models), it will be necessary to use an optional Y-
Harness (JSPA002) so that the battery and the 6th channel servo
can access the battery/Aux 1 port simultaneously. When using
the RS6UL in an electric-powered model with an
electronic speed controller, the RS6UL will receive power
through the throttle channel connection, leaving the 6th
channel directly accessible.
