[42g] Flap Control lever: By using the flap control lever, you can set the maximum up deflection of the flaps. This way, you can keep from accidentally applying flaps as spoilers during flight, and do not need to look for center on the knob while in flight. To use, simply turn the flap dial until the flaps are at the upmost position you desire. Now slide the flap control lever over the splines of the flap knob so that the long arm is touching the side of the radio. Now the flap knob can not be rotated counterclockwise any further, and you have the large lever available to easily deploy flaps!· Activate this feature with dip switch #7 and then turn it on with the mix switch. Adjust the amount as required to match the amount of elevator required in flight. Level flight with Flap to Elevator mixing. AFTER **For proper operation and the safety of all concerned, please be sure that if you choose to change your receiver's frequency to stay with in the proper band. If your receiver was originally on channels 11-35, then it is 'low band'. It is against FCC regulation for anyone but a licensed technician to change your transmitter's frequency. You may replace a damaged crystal of the same channel, but the radio must be properly retuned after transmitter channel change. 6 RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR · First, follow your model's instructions carefully for proper installation and fitting of the retract mechanisms. [If you are using mechanical retracts, the most secure means of operation is with a true "retract servo" such as Futaba's S136G (not included). See "Retract Servo" in the glossary on page 21. ] · The retract channel has no AST (Adjustable Servo Travel). Therefore, you MUST properly set it up mechanically to ensure "lock" on the gear and to avoid binding or buzzing of the servo. · When everything is operating properly by hand, plug the retract servo into slot 5 on the Rx. [. . . ] 10 15 ELEVATOR AND AILERON DUAL RATES · A "dual rate, " or second, lower rate, on the model's ailerons or elevators can make the model easier to handle at higher speeds, while keeping plenty of responsiveness available on the high rate when flying at slow speeds such as landing. · Check the model's instructions, and determine if the manufacturer has provided desired low rate settings for aileron and elevator. Pull the elevator rate switch to the down position and adjust the elevator dual rate pot to reach this desired throw. Repeat for aileron. SERVO REVERSING · Servo Reversing is a feature that allows you to correct the direction a servo travels without mechanically changing the linkage in your model. You simply flip a dip switch on your Flight Set Adjustment Control Center and the polarity of the servo control reverses. [. . . ]
