In addition, guidelines for the installation has been included. Instructions for setting all the functions and programs of the X-6102 are also included. These features are discussed in the same order that they will appear in your radio, as you will see on the accompanying pages. An explanation of the use and purpose of each feature is provided, followed by a labeled illustration of its respective LCD display. In addition, a step-by-step example clarifies the setup procedure of the feature. A blank data sheet has been included at the end of each section. Once all data has been input for a particular model, it is highly recommended that you record it on a copy of the sheet provided. If you should experience memory loss or battery failure or want to make changes to the current settings, this step will save you a great deal of time. CHAPTER 2: FEATURES 2.1 X-6102 TRANSMITTER The computer designed, ergonomically styled transmitter case ensures a comfortable fit in your hands. The ultra-

precision control sticks offer adjustable spring tensions and length. The throttle stick offers a ratchet in Airplane configuration. 10-model memory storage allows programming of all parameters of ten separate helicopters or airplanes; you can program more than one setup for a single aircraft, allowing you to instantly change the flight characteristics. A five-year lithium backup battery prevents loss of memory in the event that the battery discharges completely or is removed. 2.2 R770 RECEIVER R770 (PCM Systems) The R770 is a high-performance PCM or single-conversion receiver with 10KHz super narrow band ABC&W circuitry. A narrow band ceramic filter for high-

signal selectivity assists in rejecting cross modulations from other common radio frequencies-e.g. R/C transmitters, local paging systems. This receiver features Direct Servo Control (DSC) for control of surfaces without radio frequency output. The receiver has low current consumption. The R770's Slimline design allows it to fit into most model applications. 6 XP6102 - Introduction S537 BALL BEARING SERVO 2.3 537 Servo Wide spaced ball bearing for precise movement of your aircraft control outputs Low current drain Indirect drive feedback potentiometer gives additional protection from vibration7 A zero deadband amplifier insures 3-pole ferrite cored motor accurate neutral centering CHAPTER 3: COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS 3.1 AIRPLANE X-6102A NET-K236US R700 (FM) or R770 (PCM) NEC-222 1100mah NES-537X4 Standard Switch 12" Aileron Extension Charge Jack Servo Accys Hex Wrench Instruction Manual HELICOPTER X-6102H Net-K236US R700 (FM) or R770 (PCM) NEC-222 1100mah NES-537X5 Standard Switch 12" Aileron Extension Charge Jack Servo Accys Hex Wrench Instruction Manual TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS 3.2 HELICOPTER NET-K236US AIRPLANE NET-K236US 6channel computer system 6channel computer system 72MHz PCM (s) or PPM Approximately 750mw 200mA (70mA with DSC) 1.2Vx Ni-Cd (9.6V) 600mAh 10002000 (1500 Neutral) 72MHz PCM (s) or PPM Approximately 750mw 200mA (70mA with DSC) 1.2Vx Ni-Cd (9.6V) 600mAh 10002000 (1500 Neutral) TYPE SYSTEM NAME TRANSMITTER BODY RECEIVER CHARGER AIRBORNE BATTERY SERVOS ACCESSORIES TYPE MODEL NUMBER ENCODER RF MODULE MODULATION OUTPUT POWER CURRENT DRAIN POWER SOURCE OUTPUT PULSE XP6102 - Introduction 7 3.3 SERVO SPECIFICATIONS TYPE TORQUE (ounce inch) SPEED (sec/60) WEIGHT SIZE (in) (L x W x H) BB MOTOR 537 43 oz/in

To do so, leave the charger and batteries hooked up overnight (16 hours). The first charge should be approximately 2024 hours in order to fully charge both battery packs to peak capacity. The charger supplied with this system is designed to recharge your batteries at a rate of 50mAh for the transmitter and 120mAh for the receiver battery pack. Transmitter Only The center pin on all JR Remote Control Systems is negative. Therefore, the center pin on all JR chargers is negative, not positive. This is different from many other manufacturers' chargers and radio systems. Beware of improper connections based on "color-coded" wire leads, as they do not apply in this instance. You must make sure that the center pin of your JR transmitter is always connected to the negative voltage for correct polarity hookup. Important: Please note that the charging polarity of the transmitter and receiver are different. CHARGER 4.2 The pilot lamps should always be on during the charging operation. If not, check to make sure that both the transmitter and receiver are switched off. Do not use the charger for equipment other than JR. The charging plug polarity may not be the same. Equipment damage can result. Do not use other manufacturers' after-

market accessories that plug into the transmitter's charging jack. If you do, any damage that results will not be covered by warranty. If you are unsure of compatibility issues with your radio, seek expert advice to avoid possible damage. During the charging operation, the charger's temperature is slightly elevated. This is normal. XP6102 - Introduction 9 4.3 ADVANCED DIGITAL TRIMS The XP6102's digital trims also feature the Direct Access display function. While at the Normal display screen, if a trim lever is moved, the screen will automatically change to display the numeric value, as well as the graphic position for the trim being adjusted. The XP6102's Aileron, Elevator, Throttle and Rudder trim levers feature an audible center trim beep. This is helpful in determining the trim levers center position during flight. Please also note that unlike conventional mechanical trim levers, when the X-6102 transmitter is in the off position, no changes can be made to the trim values during transportation. 10 XP6102 - Introduction CHAPTER 1: SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS - AIRPLANE CONTROL IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION 1.1 FPO FPO S E C T I O N II A I R C R A F T FPO Channel TX Function Airplane Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 Throttle Channel Aileron Channel Elevator Channel Rudder Channel Gear Channel Auxiliary 1 Channel (Flap) THRO AILE ELEV RUDD GEAR AUX 1 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT/THROTTLE ALT 1.2 Throttle ALT The Throttle ALT function makes the throttle stick trim active only when the throttle stick is at less than half throttle.

Turn the wrench counterclockwise to loosen the screw. Then, turn the stick clockwise to shorten or counterclockwise to lengthen. After the control stick length has been adjusted to suit your flying style, tighten the 2mm set screw. If you desire longer sticks, JR offers a stick (JRPA047) that is approximately one inch longer than standard. This stick, crafted from bar stock aluminum, is available at your local JR dealer. SET SCREW LOOSEN TIGHTEN 1.5 CONTROL STICK TENSION ADJUSTMENT Remove the Ni-Cd battery and six transmitter back screws as shown on the previous page. Remove the transmitter back, being careful not to cause damage to any components. 1.6 DIRECT SERVO CONTROL (DSC) For proper DSC hook-up and operation:

1. Leave the transmitter power switch in the Off position. The transmitter will not transmit any radio frequency (RF) in this position. 2. Plug the (supplied) DSC cord into the DSC port in the rear of the transmitter. 3. The encoder section of the transmitter will now be operational and the LCD display will be lit. 4. Plug the other end of the DSC Cord into the receiver charge receptacle. Turn the switch harness to the On position. Note: When you install the charging jack, be sure to hook the charging jack receptacle securely into the switch harness charge cord. Why you should use the DSC function:

1. The DSC enables you to check the control surfaces of your aircraft without drawing the fully operational 200mAh from your transmitter battery pack. Instead, you will only draw approximately 70mAh when using the DSC function. Adjust each screw for desired tension

(counter-clockwise to loosen stick feel;

clockwise to tighten stick feel). When adjusting the throttle ratchet tension, make sure that the adjusting screw does not touch the PC board after adjustment is complete. 2. The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to your airplane without transmitting any radio signals. Therefore, if another pilot is flying on your frequency, you can still adjust your aircraft and not interfere with the other pilots aircraft. Note: Under no circumstances should you attempt to fly your aircraft with the DSC cord plugged in! This function is for bench-checking your airplane only. ACharge Cord/DSC Receptacle BSwitch Harness Lead CCharger/DSC Cord B A C 12 XP6102 - Airplane Manual An eyelet is provided on the face of the XP6102 transmitter that allows you to connect a Neck Strap (JRPA023). This hook has been positioned so that your transmitter has the best possible balance when you use the neck strap. NECK STRAP ATTACHMENT 1.7 BASE LOADED ANTENNA 1.8 An optional base-loaded antenna is available for use with the XP6102 transmitter. It is considerably shorter than the standard antenna. However, the base loaded antenna cannot be collapsed for storage in side of the transmitter. You must also use an adapter (JRPA156) to attach the antenna to your XP6102. The Base Loaded Antenna (JRPA155) is made of a flexible coil and is covered with a soft plastic material. Your range will not be affected when using the base loaded antenna. FREQUENCY NOTES/AIRCRAFT ONLY FREQUENCIES 1.9 2. For operation of your X-378 with additional receivers, you should refer to the receiver compatibility chart. The chart is located in the Modulation Selection Section of this manual. Aircraft-Only Frequencies JR Transmitters and receivers are available in 72MHz frequencies in the United States for use with model aircraft. Employing 72MHz frequencies does not require a special operators license from the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC).

* A chart for all available frequencies is located on page xxx of this manual. The XP6102 transmitter employs a plug-in crystal for the transmitter that is glued in place at the time of shipment. Per FCC regulation, the transmitter crystal should only be changed by a certified technician. Changing of the transmitter crystal by a non-authorized technician could result in a violation of FCC rules. The XP6102 can transmit in either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Pulse Position Modulation (PPM, commonly referred to as FM). Be certain to observe the following guidelines:

1. Do not operate your transmitter when another transmitter is using the same frequency, regardless of whether the second transmitter is PCM, PPM (FM) or AM. You can never operate two transmitters on the same frequency simultaneously without causing interference. XP6102 - Airplane Manual 13 CHAPTER 2: CONNECTIONS AIRPLANE 2.1 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS It is extremely important that your radio system be correctly installed in your model. Here are a few suggestions installing your JR equipment:

1. Wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber that is no less than 3/8 inch thick. Secure the foam to the receiver with #64 rubber bands. This protects the receiver in the event of a crash or a very hard landing. 2. The servos should be mounted using rubber grommets and brass eyelets to isolate them from vibration. Do not over-

tighten the mounting screws; this will negate the vibration absorption effect of the rubber grommets. The following diagram will assist you in properly mounting your servo. The brass eyelets are pushed from the bottom up in the rubber grommets. When the servo screw is tightened securely, it provides the proper security as well as the proper vibration isolation for your servo. 3. The servos must be able to move freely over their entire range of travel. Make sure that the control linkages do not bind or impede the movement of any of the servos. 4. Mount all switches away from the engine exhaust and away from any high vibration areas. Make sure the switch operates freely and is able to operate over its full travel. 5. Mount the receiver antenna firmly to the airplane to ensure that it will not become entangled in the propeller or control surfaces.

CHAPTER 4: ALARM AND ERROR DISPLAY AIRPLANE 4.1 BATTERY ALARM AND DISPLAY When the transmitter voltage drops below 9.0 volts DC, the display flashes BATT LOW and an alarm sounds. 4.2 BACKUP ERROR DISPLAY If you are flying when this occurs, land immediately. All preprogrammed data is protected by a five-year lithium battery that guards against main transmitter battery failure. Should the lithium battery fail, the display will indicate BACK ERROR. If this occurs, it will be necessary to replace the lithium battery and reprogram all data. All transmitter programs will return to the factory default settings, and the data you have input will be lost. When it becomes necessary to replace the lithium back-up battery, contact JR Horizon Service Center. Due to the possibility of extensive damage caused by improper removal or replacement, only JR Horizon Service Center is authorized to make this change.

Normal mode - In this mode the transmitter acts as a conventional buddy-

box system. The transmitter can be used as a slave or as a master: however in this mode, the reversing switches and trims must be adjusted so the slave transmitter matches the master transmitter. In normal mode, when the trainer switch is activated, the student has control of all functions and switches. Pilot Link - When pilot link mode is used with the master transmitter, it allows the slave transmitter to be adjusted to factory defaults. The slave transmitter can simply be programmed in a model memory not being used and reset to factory defaults, thus preventing the need to synchronize the trims and reversing switches on the slave transmitter. TRAINER FUNCTION 5.8 Also, when Pilot Link is used, the student only has control of the 4 basic channels

(throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder) while the trainer (master) retains control of all other functions like gear, dual rate, programmed mixes, etc. This allows a pilot to have a test flight on a more complex airplane without having to remember complex switch positions. Pilot Link + Slave - This mode is used only when the XP6102 is being used as a slave transmitter and the other Master transmitter has a Pilot Link program active. By selecting Pilot Link + Slave the transmitter is automatically in the correct programming mode to work as a slave in conjunction with another Pilot Link equipped transmitter.

[WING TYPE] FLAPERON OFF ELEVON V-TAIL OFF OFF Go to Switch Select menu V-Tail indicator Return to Default mode Normal- This is used with aircraft with one servo operating both ailerons. This mode is the default setting and is active when the Flaperon, Elevon and V-Tail modes are off. Flaperon- This mode is used when two servos are used to operated the ailerons. Flaperons allow each aileron to be independently adjusted. In addition, they can be programmed to move in the same direction for use as flaps or spoilers Definition of Wing Types Elevon- This mode is used for some types of delta wing aircraft where the control surfaces function as both ailerons and elevators. V-Tail- Used for V-tailed airplanes. Note: Some function will be unavailable when certain functions are active. With Flaperon active, Elevon will be unavailable. With Elevon active, both Flaperon and V-Tail will be unavailable. Finally, with V-Tail active, Elevon will be unavailable. XP6102 - Airplane Manual 25 Flaperon Wing Type Selection Flaperons allow you to use the existing ailerons as flaps. The ailerons can be raised or lowered in unison as flaps, yet still remain fully operational as the ailerons of your R/C airplane. Connect this servo to the AUX1 port of the receiver Connect this servo to the aileron port of the receiver Accessing and Utilizing the Flaperon Wing Type Selection 1. While the Down and Select buttons are pressed, move the power switch to the On position to access the System mode. 2. Press either the Up or Down keys until WING TYPE appears in the upper area of the LCD. 3. Press either the (+) or (-) key to change the Flaperon (FLPR) Wing Type Selection. Note: For Flaperon, one servo must be used for each aileron control surface. 4. Plug the left wing aileron servo into the Auxiliary 1 (AUX 1) port of your JR receiver. Connect the right aileron servo into the aileron port (AILE) of your receiver. 5. Check to make sure that the wing servos move in the proper direction. For a right turn, the right aileron should raise while the left aileron lowers simultaneously. For a left turn, the opposite is true; the left aileron should rise while the right aileron drops. If your servos are not moving in the direction just described, use the Servo Reversing function to reverse the travel direction of the servo(s) that are moving improperly. Refer to the Servo Reversing section for information on how to reverse the travel direction. Note: Each servo's travel direction is adjusted individually through the Servo Reversing function. Once the servos achieve their proper travel direction, adjust their travel volume, dual rates, sub-trim and aileron differential. Note: The applicable channel's left or right travel adjustment may be made individually by accessing the Travel Adjust function. Refer to the Travel Adjust section of this manual for more information. The fine adjustments of your aileron controls should be made in the Dual-Rate function.

This style of aircraft also employs two wing servos. However, there is not an elevator present. Instead, at an elevator stick input, the two wing servos function in conjunction with one another to change the pitch movement of the aircraft. Also, when an aileron control is given, the two wing servos move in opposition to one another to function as ailerons. Accessing and Utilizing the Elevon Type Selection 1. While the Down and Select keys are pressed, move the power switch to the On position to access the System mode. 2. Press either the Up or Down key until WING TYPE appears on the LCD. 3. Press the Select key to select the Elevon function. 4. Press either the (+) or (-) key to change the Elevon Wing Type function.

(AILE) of your JR receiver. Connect the right elevon servo into the elevator

(ELEV) port of your receiver. 6.Check to make sure the servos move in the proper direction. When an input is given from the elevator stick, they should move in unison to achieve the proper up/down elevator command. If your servos do not move as described above, use the Servo Reversing function to reverse the travel direction. Note: Each servo's direction is adjusted individually through the Servo Reversing function. For more information, refer to the Servo Reversing section in this manual. 7. Once the servos direction has been set, adjust their travel direction, travel volume, dual rates, sub-trim and aileron differential.

XP6102 - Airplane Manual 29 6.2 DUAL RATES AND EXPONENTIAL Dual rates are available for the aileron, elevator and rudder channels of your R/C aircraft. There is also an automatic dual rate setting to link your aileron, elevator, and rudder dual rates to the flight model switch. This automatic Dual-Rate function is discussed in a separate section that follows. Dual rates may be defined as the ability to vary the travel or throw rate of a servo from a switch. Due to the differing travel rates, you will find that the sensitivity of the control either increases or decreases accordingly. A higher rate, or travel, yields a higher overall sensitivity. You may find it easier to think of the Dual-Rate function as double-rates or half-rates.The Dual-Rate function works in conjunction with the Exponential function to allow you to precisely tailor your control throws. You may want to consult the section defining exponential for further information. Go to Reversing SW menu Change channel or value

XP6102 - Airplane Manual 37 6.10 PROGRAMMABLE MIXING (1-6) The XP6102 offers four programmable mixes to be used for any number of different purposes. This function allows mixing any one channel to any other channel. This mix can remain on at all times or be switched on and off in flight using a number of different switches. Mix numbers 1-3 are of the standard variety, in that the digital trim for the master channel only affect the master channel, and not the slave channel. Mix number 4 is of the "Trim Include" variety. This mix is used any time the mix requires the slave channels trim position to be varied when the master channels digital trim position is varied. An example for this type of mix would be when dual elevator or dual aileron servos are used and connected to two separate channels of the system, rather than using a single channel with a Y-harness. Each channel of this radio is identified by an abbreviated name. The chart below indicates the channel and its corresponding abbreviation. The channel name appearing first is known as the

"master channel" or the channel to which you want to mix. The second number is known as the "slave channel" or the channel that is being mixed into the master channel. For example, AIL RUD would indicate aileron-to-rudder mixing. Each time the aileron stick is moved, the aileron will deflect, and the rudder will automatically move in the direction and to the value input. Mixing is proportional, so small inputs of the master channel will produce small outputs of the slave channel. Each programmable mix has a mixing "offset."

The purpose of the mixing offset is to re-

define the neutral position of the slave channel. THR:

The chart is located in the Modulation Selection Section of this manual. Aircraft-Only Frequencies JR Transmitters and receivers are available in 72MHz frequencies in the United States for use with model aircraft. Employing 72MHz frequencies does not require a special operators license from the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC).

* A chart for all available frequencies is The XP6102 transmitter employs a plug-in crystal for the transmitter that is glued in place at the time of shipment. Per FCC regulation, the transmitter crystal should only be changed by a certified technician. Changing of the transmitter crystal by a non-authorized technician could result in a violation of FCC rules. The XP6102 can transmit in either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Pulse Position Modulation (PPM, commonly referred to as FM). Be certain to observe the following guidelines:

1. Do not operate your transmitter when another transmitter is using the same frequency, regardless of whether the second transmitter is PCM, PPM (FM) or AM. You can never operate two transmitters on the same frequency simultaneously without causing interference. XP6102 - Helicopter Manual 47 CHAPTER 2: CONNECTIONS HELICOPTER 2.1 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS It is extremely important that your radio system be correctly installed in your model. Here are a few suggestions installing your JR equipment:

1. Wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber that is no less than 3/8 inch thick. Secure the foam to the receiver with #64 rubber bands. This protects the receiver in the event of a crash or a very hard landing. 2. The servos should be mounted using rubber grommets and brass eyelets to isolate them from vibration. Do not over-

tighten the mounting screws; this will negate the vibration absorption effect of the rubber grommets. The following diagram will assist you in properly mounting your servo. The brass eyelets are pushed from the bottom up in the rubber grommets. When the servo screw is tightened securely, it provides the proper security as well as the proper vibration isolation for your servo. 3. The servos must be able to move freely over their entire range of travel. Make sure that the control linkages do not bind or impede the movement of any of the servos. 4. Mount all switches away from the engine exhaust and away from any high vibration areas. Make sure the switch operates freely and is able to operate over its full travel. 5. Mount the receiver antenna firmly to the airplane to ensure that it will not become entangled in the propeller or control surfaces.

CHAPTER 4: ALARM AND ERROR DISPLAY AIRPLANE 4.1 BATTERY ALARM AND DISPLAY When the transmitter voltage drops below 9.0 volts DC, the display flashes BATT LOW and an alarm sounds. 4.2 BACKUP ERROR DISPLAY If you are flying when this occurs, land immediately. All preprogrammed data is protected by a five-year lithium battery that guards against main transmitter battery failure. Should the lithium battery fail, the display will indicate BACK ERROR. If this occurs, it will be necessary to replace the lithium battery and reprogram all data. All transmitter programs will return to the factory default settings, and the data you have input will be lost. When it becomes necessary to replace the lithium back-up battery, contact JR Horizon Service Center. Due to the possibility of extensive damage caused by improper removal or replacement, only JR Horizon Service Center is authorized to make this change.

Normal mode - In this mode the transmitter acts as a conventional buddy-

box system. The transmitter can be used as a slave or as a master: however in this mode, the reversing switches and trims must be adjusted so the slave transmitter matches the master transmitter. In normal mode, when the trainer switch is activated, the student has control of all functions and switches. Pilot Link - When pilot link mode is used with the master transmitter, it allows the slave transmitter to be adjusted to factory defaults. The slave transmitter can simply be programmed in a model memory not being used and reset to factory defaults, thus preventing the need to synchronize the trims and reversing switches on the slave transmitter. TRAINER FUNCTION 5.8 Also, when Pilot Link is used, the student only has control of the 4 basic channels

(throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder) while the trainer (master) retains control of all other functions like gear, dual rate, programmed mixes, etc. This allows a pilot to have a test flight on a more complex airplane without having to remember complex switch positions. Pilot Link + Slave - This mode is used only when the XP6102 is being used as a slave transmitter and the other Master transmitter has a Pilot Link program active. By selecting Pilot Link + Slave the transmitter is automatically in the correct programming mode to work as a slave in conjunction with another Pilot Link equipped transmitter.

XP6102 - Helicopter Manual 61 6.2 DUAL RATES AND EXPONENTIAL Dual rates are available for the aileron, elevator and rudder channels of your R/C aircraft. There is also an automatic dual rate setting to link your aileron, elevator, and rudder dual rates to the flight model switch. This automatic Dual-Rate function is discussed in a separate section that follows. Dual rates may be defined as the ability to vary the travel or throw rate of a servo from a switch. Due to the differing travel rates, you will find that the sensitivity of the control either increases or decreases accordingly. A higher rate, or travel, yields a higher overall sensitivity. You may find it easier to think of the Dual-Rate function as double-rates or half-rates.The Dual-Rate function works in conjunction with the Exponential function to allow you to precisely tailor your control throws. You may want to consult the section defining exponential for further information. Go to Reversing SW menu Change channel or value

XP6102 - Helicopter Manual 69 6.9 THROTTLE CURVES The XP6102 offers two (2) separate throttle curves with five adjustable points per curve. This function allows you to customize the throttle curve and pitch curve together to maximize engine performance at a particular pitch setting. Once the throttle curves are established, each can be activated in flight using the two (2) position flight mode switch. The flight mode switch offers two selectable ranges: Normal and Stunt. The Normal position should be used as the hover throttle curve. The Stunt position should be used for aerobatic maneuvers and forward flight. Note: The throttle trim and hovering throttle levers are only operable when the flight mode switch is in the normal position. Thus, in normal function it will have no effect. Also, adjusting the hovering throttle lever and throttle trim has no effect on the input values of the throttle curve. Each of the five points of the throttle curve are independently adjustable from 0-

100%. These five points correspond to the position of the throttle stick. The illustration below shows the normal throttle curve setting for the dead slow position with throttle trim at default. Go to Pitch Curve menu Throttle curve graph Stick Position Change value/Switch selection

When set up correctly, the helicopter should climb and descend without a tendency to yaw in either direction. Because torque reaction varies with different power settings, it is necessary to vary the tail rotor pitch at the same time. The XP6102 offers two separate revolution mixing programs, with independent up and down mixing for each - one for Flight mode position Normal and the other for Stunt. The up mixing adjusts the tail rotor compensation for the mid to high throttle setting and the down, mixing adjusts the tail rotor compensation for the mid to low throttle setting.

Exit the REVO MX function by pressing the Down and Select keys simultaneously. XP6102 - Helicopter Manual 75 The Acceleration Mixing function is provided to compensate for the main rotor acceleration (and deceleration) torque. The magnitude and duration of the signal to the tail rotor depends Upon the rate of the throttle changes. Thus, quick, jerky throttle inputs will yield more noticeable tail compensation. Setting Up Revolution Mixing Set up the helicopter so that it will hover with the tail rotor trim centered. Establish the helicopter into a stable hover, then steadily increase the throttle to initiate a steady climb. The body of the helicopter will move in the opposite direction to the main rotor rotation. Increase the U, or Up, setting until the helicopter climbs with no tendency to turn. At a safe altitude, close the throttle; the helicopter will descend and the body will turn in the same direction as the main rotor rotation. Increase the D, or down, mix until the helicopter descends with no tendency to turn. Throttle stick movements should be slow, and the initial acceleration and deceleration swings should be ignored. 76 XP6102 - Helicopter Manual PROGRAMMABLE MIXING 6.12 The XP6102 offers two programmable mixes to be used for any number of different purposes. This function allows mixing any one channel to any other channel. This mix can remain on at all times or be switched on and off in flight using a number of different switches. Mix number 1 is of the standard variety, in that the digital trim for the master channel only affect the master channel, and not the slave channel. Mix number 2 is of the

"Trim Include" variety. This mix is used any time the mix requires the slave channels trim position to be varied when the master channels digital trim position is varied. An example for this type of mix would be when dual elevator or dual aileron servos are used and connected to two separate channels of the system, rather than using a single channel with a Y-harness. Each channel of this radio is identified by an abbreviated name. The chart below indicates the channel and its corresponding abbreviation. The channel name appearing first is known as the

"master channel" or the channel to which you want to mix. The second number is known as the "slave channel" or the channel that is being mixed into the master channel. For example, AIL RUD would indicate aileron-to-rudder mixing. Each time the aileron stick is moved, the aileron will deflect, and the rudder will automatically move in the direction and to the value input. Mixing is proportional, so small inputs of the master channel will produce small outputs of the slave channel. Each programmable mix has a mixing "offset."

The purpose of the mixing offset is to re-

define the neutral position of the slave channel. THR:

Mixing Operation and Switches Each mixing program can be turned on and off by a lever or switch. The levers and switches that can be selected for program mixing are tabulated at the right with their abbreviations appearing on the display and their corresponding positions. The mix switch options are:

ALWAYS ON RIGHT FWD RIGHT REA LEFT FWD LEFT REA AILE D/R ELEV D/R Setting the Mixing Channel Offset 1. Press the Select key until offset is highlighted. The display will show the current mixing channels at the top of the LCD, with the word "OFFSET" in the center of the LCD. The value to the right is the mixing Offset neutral point, currently 0. 2. A new value for the offset can be selected using the (+) or (-) keys. This is the new neutral point for the slave channel (Point that the mix is activated). Press the Clear key to reset the value back to 0. 3. Press the Down and Select keys simultaneously to exit the Programmable Mix function. With a little practice, programmable mixing will become easier to understand. Mixing is only limited by your imagination. 78 XP6102 - Helicopter Manual Any stick position of the master channel can be determined as the basic center point of mixing. The basic point is the position of the master channel stick, control switch, or knob where you set the mix value and the direction of mixing. To set the basic point of mixing, hold the master channel in the desired position and press the Clear key. The display will indicate offset value from neutral;

At full throttle, fast forward flight, most helicopters pitch either up or down. The XP6102 has active digital trims in each flight mode to correct this. However, at intermediate speeds (e.g., 5/8 throttle) this pitching tendency is reduced. Many top pilots use a combination of elevator stunt trim and Pitch-to-Elevator Mixing. Mix pitch (channel 6) to Elevator

(channel 3) and select switch position 1, 2 so that the mixing is turned on in Flight mode 1 and 2. Programmable Mixing Offsets however, mixing value at the determined position would indicate zero. When properly adjusted, your heli should track across the sky at full speed with no correction needed. The X-378 has three programmable mixes that can free mix any two channels. Following are some examples of where this free mixing is used. Pitch-to-Elevator Mixing Then, hover your helicopter. Using forward cyclic only, push your heli into forward flight, but dont change the pitch or throttle settings. After transitioning into forward flight, notice the direction the nose pitches. Correct this with stunt trim elevator until no pitching occurs at this throttle pitch setting. Finally, fly your helicopter at full throttle/pitch in fast forward flight. If the nose pitches up, feed in down pitch to elevator mixing until straight flight is achieved. When properly adjusted, the heli will fly straight and level, hands off, at all throttle pitch settings. Rudder-to-Throttle Mixing During 540 stall turns and fast pirouettes, the tail rotor absorbs power and the main rotor rpm decays. This can be compensated for by mixing rudder-to-

throttle so that when rudder is applied, the throttle is advanced. It usually takes about 15% right mixing and 10% left mixing. Please note that when using any programmable mix coupled to the throttle channel of the X-378, it will be necessary to increase the high throttle travel position of the channel to the maximum 150% to prevent over-traveling of the throttle by the addition of the programmable mix. When doing a roll or at anytime hard-over cyclic is used, the main rotors rpm can decay due to increased loads. A way around this is to mix aileron to throttle so that when the aileron is displaced, throttle is added. Use about 10-30 % in both directions. Rudder-to-Throttle Mixing Please note that when using any programmable mix coupled to the throttle channel of the XP6102, it will be necessary to increase the high throttle travel position of the channel to the maximum 150% to prevent over-traveling of the throttle by the addition of the programmable mix.

Do not overload retract servos during retracted or extended conditions. Make sure they are able to travel their full deflection. Overloading or stalling a servo can cause excessive current drain. Make sure all servos move freely through their rotations and no linkages hang up or bind. A binding control linkage can cause a servo to draw excessive current. A stalled servo can drain a battery pack in a matter of minutes. Correct any control surface "buzz" or

"flutter" as soon as it is noticed in flight, as this condition can destroy the feedback potentiometer in the servo. It may be extremely dangerous to ignore such "buzz" or "flutter."

Radio controlled models are a great source of pleasure. Unfortunately, they can also pose a potential hazard if not operated and maintained properly. It is imperative to install your radio control system correctly. Additionally, your level of piloting competency must be high enough to ensure that you are able to control your aircraft under all conditions. If you are a newcomer to radio controlled flying, please seek help from an experienced pilot or your local hobby shop. Safety Do's and Don'ts for Pilots Ensure your batteries have been properly charged prior to initial flight. Keep track of the time the system is turned on so you will know how long you can safely operate your system. Perform a ground range check prior to the initial flight of the day. See the

"Daily Flight Checks Section" for information. Check all control surfaces prior to each takeoff. Use frequency flags. Do not fly your model near spectators, parking areas or any other area that could result in injury to people or XP6102 - Manual S E C T I O N IV I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N SERVO PRECAUTIONS x Use the supplied rubber grommets and brass servo eyelets when mounting your servos. Do not over-tighten the servo mounting screws, as this negates the dampening effect of the rubber grommets. Ensure the servo horn is securely fastened to the servo. Use only the JR servo arm screws provided; the size is different from other manufacturers. Discontinue to use servo arms when they become "yellowed" or discolored. Such servo arms may be brittle and can snap at any time, possibly causing the aircraft to crash. Check all related mounting screws and linkages frequently. Aircraft often vibrate, causing linkages and screws to loosen. GENERAL NOTES x damage of property. Do not fly during adverse weather conditions. Poor visibility can cause disorientation and loss of control of your aircraft. Strong winds can cause similar problems. Do not fly unless your frequency is clear. Warning: Only one transmitter at a time can operate on a given frequency. If you turn on your transmitter while someone else is operating a model on your frequency, both pilots will lose control of their models. Only one person can use a given frequency at a time. It does not matter if it is AM, FM or PCMonly one frequency at a time. Do not point the transmitter antenna directly toward the model. The radiation pattern from the tip of the antenna is inherently low. Do not take chances. If at any time during flight you observe any erratic or abnormal operation, and immediately and do not resume flight until the cause of the problem has been ascertained and corrected. Safety can never be taken lightly. 83 x FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION 1. Purpose This advisory outlines safety standards for operations of model aircraft. We encourage voluntary compliance with these standards. 2. Background Attention has been drawn to the increase in model aircraft operation. There is a need for added caution when operating free flight and radio controlled craft in order to avoid creating a noise nuisance or a potential hazard to full-scale aircraft and persons and/or property on the surface. 3. Operating Standards Modelers generally are concerned with safety and exercise good judgment when flying model aircraft. However, in the interest of safer skies, we encourage operators of radio controlled and free flight models to comply with the following standards:

a. Exercise vigilance in locating full-

scale aircraft (get help if possible) so as not to create a collision hazard. b. Select an operating site at sufficient distance from populated areas so you do not create a noise problem or a potential hazard. c. Do not fly higher than 400 feet above the surface. d. Always operate more than three miles from the boundary of an airport unless you are given permission to be closer by the appropriate air traffic control facility in the case of an airport for which a control zone has been designated or by the airport manager in the case of other airports. e. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance in complying with these guidelines at the airport traffic control tower or air route traffic control center nearest the site of your proposed operation.

(transmitter, receiver, servos, etc.). Do not return your system installed in a model aircraft, car, boat, etc. 3. Preferably, use the original carton/packaging (molded foam container), or equivalent, to ship your system. Do not use the system carton itself as a shipping carton, you should package the system carton within a sturdy shipping container using additional packing material to safeguard against damage during transit. Include complete name and address information inside the carton, as well as clearly writing it on the outer label/return address area. 4. Include detailed information explaining your operation of the system and problem(s) encountered. Provide an itemized list of equipment enclosed and identify any particular area/function, which may better assist our technicians in addressing your concerns. Within your letter, advise us of the payment method you prefer to use. Horizon Service Center accepts VISA or MasterCard. Please include your card number and expiration date. Date your correspondence, and be sure your complete name and address appear on this enclosure. 5. Include your name, mailing address, and a phone number where you can be reached during the business day. Warranty Repairs To receive warranty service, you must include a copy of your original dated sales receipt to verify your proof-of-purchase date. Providing that warranty conditions have been met, your radio will be repaired without charge. Normal Non-Warranty Repairs Should your repair cost exceed 50% of the retail purchase cost, you will be provided with an estimate advising you of your options. Mail your system to:
