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.

5. The throttle stick of a mode 2 transmitter sits on the left and on the right of a mode 1
transmitter. From this point forward, all instructions are based on a mode 2 transmitter.
If you are working on a mode 1 transmitter, perform the same steps on the opposite
side (note that the components are laterally-inverted).

9. Replace the throttle stick and screws (see
). 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
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.
