SETTING EXPLANATION

Airplane: Auto Calibrating:
(Airplanes). Utilizes your transmitter’s full available throttle range. If selected you will need to calibrate the
throttle every time after you arm the system. To use follow these steps:
throttle every time after you arm the system. To use follow these steps:
1. Turn your transmitter on with the throttle stick in a middle position. Plug your battery into the
controller. You will get the initialization tones.
2. Move the throttle to the bottom position to arm the system.
3. If you wish to have full throttle range before flying, move the throttle stick to the top position (full
3. If you wish to have full throttle range before flying, move the throttle stick to the top position (full
throttle and motor running) for at least 2 seconds to allow the controller to determine where the top
stick position is. Otherwise, to ensure proper throttle range setting be sure to climb out right after
launch at full throttle for at least 2 seconds.

Airplane: Fixed Endpoints: (Airplanes).
Uses predetermined fixed endpoints within the controller. To Use:
1. Turn your Tx on with the throttle stick in the middle or top position. You get the initialization tones.
2. Move the throttle to the low position to arm.
3. With fixed throttle, motor start and full throttle points will be determined by the end point settings
2. Move the throttle to the low position to arm.
3. With fixed throttle, motor start and full throttle points will be determined by the end point settings
on your transmitter (in most cases, throttle will start between 10% and 20% throttle, and will reach
full throttle at 75% to 85% throttle. You can adjust your throttle endpoints on your Tx to get full
stick throttle range (endpoints vary with transmitters). The throttle curve and resolution is the same
as auto calibrate.

Helicopter Throttle settings note
Selecting any helicopter-specific throttle setting also changes voltage ‘Cut Off’ type to ‘Soft Cut Off’’ and
disables all brake functions. However, these setting changes are not reflected in the ‘Cut Off’ type’ or the
‘Brake’ settings.

Helicopter set up basics
To get your electric helicopter to fly well and for the new helicopter throttle settings to work properly you
need to set your helicopter up correctly. The Heli Throttle types will not compensate for an improper
system set up and you may damage your motor, your ESC or your batteries. To make sure your helicopter
is set up correctly start with ‘Heli: Fixed Endpoint’ mode. In ‘Heli: Fixed Endpoint’ adjust the endpoints on
your transmitter until the system will arm with the stick in the bottom position and the red LED comes on
solid on the ESC at full throttle (Solid red LED means full throttle on the ESC). This gives you a full throttle
range on your transmitter which assures that your throttle percentages will be correct. Now set the heli up
to get the head speed you want at about 75% throttle in ‘Heli: Fixed Throttle’ mode. Gear as needed to
get the desired head-speed at 75% throttle on you transmitter. Set up like this your motor will be running
within its efficient operating speed with enough headroom that the motor can maintain this speed with
hard collective use. Gearing here is the key. Once you get the head-speed you want at about 75% throttle
in ‘Heli: Fixed Throttle’ mode your helicopter will fly well in either ‘Heli: Fixed Throttle’ or in one of the
governor modes. If you decided to use the governor adjust your throttle curve to a straight line that gives
