trim settings are displayed on the LC display. Refer to 'Fig. 3' on page 11 for more
information. Each ne trim position has a distinct sound pitch associated with it. Refer to
the following table:
Left/Down Mid position Right/Up
Short sounds and lower pitch Long sound Short sounds and higher pitch
11.7 Direction of antennas during operation
It is important that you do not directly point the »Transmitter’s antenna at the »NovaX 350
during operation as doing so weakens the transmitted signal. For best signal strength
maintain an angle of 90° between »Receiver and »Transmitter antenna.
11.8 Channel learning
Channel learning is required if the »Transmitter shall be used to control the »NovaX 350.
Refer to the »NovaX 350 operating instructions for instructions on how to calibrate the
»Transmitter.
11.8.1 Auxiliary switch SWD
Channel 5 is permanently assigned to R.T.H. and switch SWD (5). Do not assign any
channels to switch SWD . Refer to the »NovaX 350 operating instructions to learn more
about R.T.H.

12. MAINTENANCE, CARE AND REPAIR
> Disconnect the »Receiver from the power supply and remove the batteries from the
»Transmitter before cleaning.
> Never submerge the products in water or other liquids.
> Regularily clean the products with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Do not apply too much
pressure to the housing to prevent scratching.
> Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions
as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
12.1 Removing the throttle spring
The neutral position of the throttle stick is in the centre (zero position). A spring ensures
that the stick returns to the neutral position when you let go of it.
This design offers a lot of advantages to inexperienced pilots but may be impractical for
more experienced ones. For this reason, pilots can remove the throttle spring by which the
throttle's zero position is shifted from the centre to the bottom stop. In other words, the zero
position is reached by moving the stick to the bottom. Follow the instructions.
Avoid electromagnetic discharge! Discharge yourself
before touching electronic components.
1. Turn the »Transmitter off, open the battery compartment and remove the batteries
(see [ Fig. 11 ]).
2. Remove the 4 screws that hold the housing together (see [ Fig. 12 ]).
3. Open the housing. Mind the two cables that connect front and back! Carefully unplug
the cables from the PCBA (see [ Fig. 13 ]).
4. Place the transmitter on a wooden (or similar) block to prevent the sticks from touching
the working surface (see [ Fig. 14 ]). Work on a soft surface.
5. The throttle stick of a mode 2 or 4 transmitter sits on the left and on the right of a
mode 1 or 3 transmitter. From this point forward, all instructions are based on a mode 2
(and mode 4) transmitter. If you are working on a mode 1 (or mode 3) transmitter,
perform the same steps on the opposite side (note that the components are laterally-
inverted).
6. Remove the 4 screws that hold the throttle stick in place (see [ Fig. 15 ]).
7. From the front, gently push the throttle stick out of the housing (see [ Fig. 16 ]). You do
not need to disconnect the cable. Instead, use a piece of paper and carefully place the
stick on it (see [ Fig. 17 ]).
8. Remove the spring adjustment slider, spring and bar (see [ Fig. 17 ]).
9. Replace the throttle stick and screws (see [ Fig. 18 ]). Apply little force when tightening
the screws.
10. Place the supplied small metal plate over the straight knurled wheel on the right.
Insert the nose of the plate into the notch as shown in [ Fig. 19 ]. Bolt it down using
the supplied screws. Adjust how hard or easy the throttle stick moves with the screw
opposite the notch: loosen the screw for less or tighten it for more friction.
11. Re-connect the cables (see [ Fig. 20 ]).
12. Close the housing and insert and tighten the four screws (see [ Fig. 21 ]).
13. Insert the batteries (see [ Fig. 22 ]).
14. The transmitter is ready for use.
