f) Changing the Transmitter Stick Assignment
If you want to fly with the pre-set stick assignments described above (mode 2), then you can skip this chapter. How-
ever, if you wish to exchange the control of the pitch and nod function at the transmitter (mode 1 or mode 3), you have
the possibility to carry out mechanical modifications on the transmitter. However, this requires some experience in
handling remote control sensors and a bit of skill.
Caution, important!
Before opening the transmitter, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
For this, remove the four housing screws with a matching
screwdriver (see figure 2, item 23) from the rear of the trans-
mitter and carefully fold down the rear. The cable connections
between the main circuit board and the rear panel don't neces-
sarily need to be unplugged.
To be better able to swap the connection cables of the stick
potentiometers, it is sensible to pull the transmitter aerial (1)
downwards out of the protective sleeve (2) and to insert it again
after conversion.
The inside of the transmitter is displayed on the next page in figure 16.
Remove the four holding screws (S) at the right stick unit (viewed from behind) and push the entire unit out of
the housing towards the back from the front. Then disconnect the connection cables of the stick potentiometers
(3 and 4) from the slots (3 and 4).
Remove the left stick unit (viewed from behind) in the same manner and unplug the connection cables of the stick
potentiometers (1 and 2) from the slots (1 and 2). Turn the stick unit removed on the left by 180° and install it again on
the right side (viewed from behind). The formerly right stick unit is also turned by 180° and then reinstalled on the left.
The connection cables of the potentiometers 1 - 4 then need to be reconnected according to figure 16.
The upper illustration in figure 16 shows the transmitter in mode 2. The retention sheet for the pitch control stick (5) is
at the right stick unit (viewed from behind. After conversion to mode 1 or 3, the stick unit with the holding sheet is on
the left side (viewed from behind).
After having tested the mechanical functions of the two stick units and the correct connection of the potentiometer
connection lines, reattach the rear wall and tighten the housing screws.
The electronic switching of the stick functions that are now required can afterwards be taken from chapter 13, section
„Control Stick Assignment".
