menu and select “model type”. Setup
the motor at C1 to “idle re.” and the
cutoff switch (motor on/off) to S1.
Also note the model settings
STEP THREE: Go to the “cont. sett.”
menu and assign channel 5 to switch
S3 to control attitude and rate mode.

menu. Setting a bit of expo will make
control a smoother for the beginner.
You can change settings later.
STEP FIVE: Go to the “RF sett.” menu.
Set stick mode to 2 and the timer for 5
minute flight. The timer is activated
with switch S1. In this menu you also
need to bind your RX to the new
model created.
STEP SIX: Go to the “basic sett.” Menu
and make the changes as shown on
the right image. The Jack select is set
to EAR to provide a connected
headset with voice telemetry data.
