Adjustment of Throttle Stick (Ratchet System)

You can choose either airplane ratchet system or

helicopter-touch.

1. Open the dust protection cap on the back of the

transmitter that is covering the hole for throttle stick

adjustment.

2. Use the attached 1.5mm hexagonal wrench (inside

stylus) to turn the adjustment screw and set it as you

prefer. Turning the screw clockwise increases the

tension.

For airplanes: Adjust the screw on the left.

For helicopters: Adjust the screw on the right.

In changing the setting from airplane to helicopter

(or heli to airplane);

1. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until the throttle

stick moves freely, and turn the screw clockwise to

adjust it to the tension you prefer.

*This transmitter has two ratchet plates, one for airplane

and the other one for helicopter. If you tighten both screws,

you won't be able to achieve the adjustment that you need

because of the overlap of those two adjustments.

*If you want to change the setting from airplane to helicopter

(or from helicopter to airplane), turn the ratchet screw

clockwise until the throttle stick moves freely. Then turn the

screw for the helicopter until you get the tension you like.

Note:

Detaching the battery while the power is
