5INSTRUCTIONS FOR RX2702V RECEIVER
5.3 CHANNEL CONNECTION OF RECEIVER (FOR MODE 2USERS ONLY?)
CAUTION: Please note that when using a MODE 2 transmitter set-up PIT and AILE servos are inverted
compared to the original manual. There are 2 options to correct this:
1) Physically move the servos in the helicopter frame
2) Switch the AILE and PIT servo channel plugs on the receiver
Failing to make this switch will make the system appear to move as if using a mix of transmitter modes.
If your transmitter is set to MODE 2, it will appear to operate as if in MODE 1 for PIT & ELEV but in MODE 2 for
throttle. (i.e. Max ELEV & Max THROTLE are on the same channel! Your helicopter will be uncontrollable.)

10.5 FLYBARLESS SYSTEM SETTING
CAUTION: Unplug the wires connecting the ESC to the main motor to avoid the accidental movement of the
main rotor. Reconnect when set-up is complete.
Prior to this section it is recommended to make a copy of the settings in your 2801 transmitter and
setting one pitch curve to the following: 0 –50 –50 –50 –100. This helps in setting min –mid –max
pitch settings.
Set all TRIMS and SUBTRIMS to neutral positions before binding or re-bind after setting neutrals.
10.5.1 SWASHPLATE MECHANICAL TRAVEL AND NEUTRAL POINT SETUP
Step 1: Enter ‘SET-UP’ mode
Connect the battery to the ESC as normal and wait for
the TX/RX to bind. Move the small rudder/swashplate
DIP switch to “SW.SET” position. Press the “SET”
button until the STATUS LED flashes RED.
The RX is now in mechanical travel and neutral point
set-up mode.
Step 2: Swashplate functional check
Check if the swashplate moves in the correct directions when using ELEV, AILE and PIT controls.
Normal movements are:
Control Input
Swashplate reaction
Full forward ELEV
Swashplate moves down at front and up at rear
Full aft ELEV
Swashplate moves up at front and down at rear
Full right AILE
Swashplate moves down at right and up at left
Full left AILE
Swashplate moves down at left and up at right
Full positive PIT
Swashplate moves up and remains level
Full negative PIT
Swashplate moves down and remains level
Step 3: Mechanical neutral setting
Servo and main blade pitch neutral point set-up
CAUTION: This step is very important to the correct set-up of the helicopter. If the neutral point is set
incorrectly it will not only affect the flight stability but may cause a complete loss of control and
personal injury.

Step 4: Main blade pitch setting
The recommended pitch range is ±10°; the flight limit is ±11°.
CAUTION: The adjustment of servo travel in a CCPM system must be made using the transmitter
‘SWASHMIX’ function, do not adjust the servo travel individually.
10.5.2 SWASHPLATE MIXING SET-UP FOR ELEVATOR AND AILERON SERVO TRAVEL
Step 1: Enter set-up mode for ELEV travel
Follow the steps in section 10.5.1 to enter neutral point set-up, once completed return PIT to the
neutral point and press the “SET” button a second time.
The STATUS LED will turn constant RED and the ELEV LED will flash GREEN. The elevator servo travel
mode is now selected.
Step 2: Swashplate elevator travel setting
Without moving any of the other controls push the elevator control stick of the transmitter to the
highest position, while keeping max ELEV, press the “SET” button to confirm the extent. The receiver
calculates the CCPM mixing ratio and the usable travel of forward and backward.
The STATUS LED remains RED, the ELEV LED turns off and the AILE LED flashes GREEN. Return the
elevator stick on the transmitter to neutral.

5
Step 3: Swashplate aileron travel setting
With the AILE LED flashing GREEN the receiver is ready to accept the maximum limit of AILE input.
Without moving any of the other controls push the aileron control stick of the transmitter to the far
right position, while keeping max AILE, press the “SET” button to confirm the extent. The receiver
calculates the usable travel of right and left.
The STATUS LED remains RED; the ELEV & AILE LEDs flash together twice and turn off. The swashplate
will hop up and down three times horizontal and level.
Release the AILE stick and return it to the neutral position.

10.5.3 ELEVATOR AND AILERON GYRO FUNCTION NORMAL/REVERSE SETTING
Step 1: Elevator gyro reverse switch setting
Tilt the helicopter forward and check if the gyro
corrects the motion by tilting the swashplate aft. If
it tilts to the front move the ELEV GYRO DIP switch
to the other position. Re-check that the
swashplate now lilts aft.
Tilting the helicopter fore and aft, the gyro tries to
keep the swashplate level. If this is not achievable
there maybe another problem, please re-check
and if the problem persists contact your dealer.
Step 2: Aileron gyro reverse switch setting
Tilt the helicopter right and check if the gyro corrects the
motion by tilting the swashplate left. If it tilts to the right
move the AILE GYRO DIP switch to the other position. Re-
check that the swashplate now lilts left.
Tilting the helicopter left and right, the gyro tries to keep
the swashplate level. If this is not achievable there maybe
another problem, please re-check and if the problem
persists contact your dealer.
10.5.4 RUDDER TRAVEL SETTING AND CHECK-UP
Step 1: To enter rudder set-up mode
On the receiver, move the rudder swashplate setting switch to the “TAIL SET” position. Press the
“SET” button until the RED STATUS LED turns OFF and the rudder LED flashes GREEN. The receiver is
in rudder check-up mode.
Step 2: Check the pushrod adjustment and the reverse setting of the rudder servo.
With the rudder servo in the neutral position, the servo arm should be at 90 to the servo case &
pushrod, adjust if needed by moving the arm on the splines of the servo, by mechanically adjusting
the servo gears or by adding subtrim (it is recommended to avoid over use of subtrim). Adjust the
push rod length so the tail rotor pitch is 0.

7
To check the correct operation of the rudder direction move the rudder stick on the transmitter left
and right. Full right rudder should set the pitch of the tail blades to move the tail left and the nose
right as it rotates about the main shaft axis.
Step 3: Enter rudder servo travel set-up mode
CAUTION: Rudder setting mode differs from swashplate setting mode. The rudder extent setting does
not need maximum rudder control on the transmitter to be input. The rudder extents setting is made
by teaching the receiver the mechanical limits of the tail rotor pitch assembly.
Press the “SET” button once again, the RUDD LED and STATUS LED will flash alternately then the
STATUS LED will turn off. The GREEN RUDD LED makes a repeating double flash signal.
Step 4: Rudder servo travel limits setting
LEFT
While watching the tail pitch control mechanism, push the rudder stick gently to the left until the
rudder pitch control mechanism reaches its limit, back off a tiny amount using a little right rudder
control to prevent the tail servo from stalling and possible damage. Once the left limit is set
satisfactorily press the “SET” button once more. The extent is registered and the servo moves back to
neutral.
The RUDD LED and STATUS LED will flash alternately then the STATUS LED will turn off. The GREEN
RUDD LED makes a repeating triple flash signal.
RIGHT
For right limit setting, repeat the procedure above this time using right rudder control input. Move
the pitch control to its limit using right rudder input and when reached, back off a little with left
rudder input. Once the limit is correctly set mechanically, press the “SET” button once more.
The RUDD LED and STATUS LED will flash alternately then the RUDD LED will turn off and STATUS LED
will be constant RED.
The tail rotor pitch moves left/right twice to confirm setting completed.
10.5.5 RUDDER GYRO REVERSE SWITCH SETTING
To check the correct gyro operation, lift the helicopter and
push the nose to the left, the pitch setting of the tail
should be the same as right rudder input from the
transmitter. If this is not the case, move the RUDD reverse
switch to the other position and re-check.

10.5.6 FLYBARLESS SYSTEM SETTING TEST
Step 1: Make sure everything is off and all receiver leads are connected. Make sure main motor leads
are still disconnected
Step 2: Turn on the transmitter power and connect the helicopter main battery, wait for binding to
complete. During this the swashplate should move up and down twice horizontal and level. If it moves
up and down at an angle then there is an error and the flybarless setup process needs to be repeated.
Step 3: Push the throttle stick to maximum and minimum positions, repeat the process with the
elevator, aileron and rudder controls to check the movements are as expected (see section 10.5.1
Step 2). If all is not as expected then repeat the set-up process.
Step 4: After all functions are confirmed as normal and operating disconnect the battery from the ESC
and turn off transmitter power.
Step 5: Reconnect main motor and ESC plus complete all the usual pre-flight checks before going to
fly.
