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.

CHAPTER 2: FEATURES

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.

CHAPTER 4: BATTERY CHARGING

TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER 4.1

Note: It is imperative that you fully

charge both the transmitter and the

receiver battery packs prior to each

trip to the field. To do so, leave the

charger and batteries hooked up

overnight (16 hours). The first charge

should be approximately 20–24 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 PIGTAIL FOR TRANSMITTER

CHARGER PIGTAIL FOR RECEIVER

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.

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.

1.4 CONTROL STICK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the stick length, use the

2mm Allen wrench (supplied with your

XP6102 transmitter) to unlock the set

screw. 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

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.

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.

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.

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

pilot’s 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.

NECK STRAP ATTACHMENT 1.7

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.

13XP6102 - Airplane Manual

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

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.

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 operator’s license from

the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC).

* A chart for all available frequencies is

located on page xxx of this manual.

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.

TRAINER FUNCTION 5.8

The XP6102 offers a programmable trainer

function with three trainer options:

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.

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.

Accessing the Trainer Function

1. Move the power switch to the On

position while pressing the Down and

Select keys to access the System mode.

2. Press either the Up or Down key until

TRAINER appears at the top of the LCD.

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.

30 XP6102 - Airplane Manual

position of the Dual-Rate switch for the

channel that you have selected. Either a

0 or a 1 will be shown, corresponding to

the position of the switch. To select the

opposite switch position, move the

appropriate Dual-Rate switch to the

opposite position. The number that

appears above the current rate value

reflects the change.

6. Adjust the rate for the channel and the

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.

FAIL SAFE

The Fail-Safe/Hold function is available

only when you use the XP6102 transmitter

in PCM modulations. This function is

designed to help minimize damage to

your aircraft during a loss of signal to the

receiver. The servos either assume the fail-

safe presets or hold their last good signal

position.

As noted earlier, if you are in the PPM

modulation, the Fail-Safe/Hold function

is not applicable. Therefore, the Fail-

Safe/Hold function will not appear on

your LCD screen menu while in the

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.

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

pilot’s 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.

NECK STRAP ATTACHMENT 1.7

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.

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

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.

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 operator’s license from

the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC).

* A chart for all available frequencies is

48 XP6102 - Helicopter Manual

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.

TRAINER FUNCTION 5.8

The XP6102 offers a programmable trainer

function with three trainer options:

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.

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.

Accessing the Trainer Function

1. Move the power switch to the On

position while pressing the Down and

Select keys to access the System mode.

2. Press either the Up or Down key until

TRAINER appears at the top of the LCD.

3. Press either the (+) or (-) keys to change

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.

62 XP6102 - Helicopter Manual

Accessing the Dual Rate and Exponential Function

1. Place the transmitter power switch in

the on position.

D/R & EXP appears in the upper left

corner of the LCD.

4. Press the Channel key until the desired

channel (aileron, elevator, rudder or

automatic dual rates) appears.

5. Select the switch position for which you

want to adjust the rate. The number to

the upper right of the current rate value

on the display indicates the current

position of the Dual-Rate switch for the

channel that you have selected. Either a

0 or a 1 will be shown, corresponding to

the position of the switch. To select the

opposite switch position, move the

appropriate Dual-Rate switch to the

opposite position. The number that

appears above the current rate value

reflects the change.

6. Adjust the rate for the channel and the

switch position that you have just

selected. To decrease the throw rate,

press the (-) key. To increase the throw

rate, press the (+) key. As stated

CCPM Swashplate Mixing (continued)

CCPM is a type of pitch mixing where the

two or three servos are connected directly

to the swashplate of the helicopter and

physically move both together and

independently for all changes in

pitch/cyclic. Please refer to the diagram

below.

1). One servo (Standard Mechanical

Mixing)

The most common form of Swashplate

Mixing. This type uses each of the three

servo to move the swashplate individually

for pitch, Aileron, and Elevator changes. If

one servo (NORM) is selected in the

System Mode (Factory Default), the

Swashplate Type Function will not appear

on the LCD screen in this section.

2). Two servo (180-degrees)

Two servos are used to move the

swashplate, and are spaced at 180degrees

apart. This is not a very common control

system configuration.

3). Three servo (120-degrees)

Three servos are used to move the

swashplate, and are spaced at 120degrees

apart. This is the most common form of

CCPM, and is found in JR and other

brands of Helicopters.

4). Three servo (90-degrees)

Three servos are used to move the

swashplate, and are spaced at 90degrees

apart. This is also not a very common

control system configuration.

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.

Hovering Pitch Lever

The Hovering Pitch lever operates in the

same manner as the Hovering Throttle

lever. It is only operable while the flight

mode switch is in the NORMAL position,

and its function is to shift the middle

portion of the curve upward or

downward.

Example of Throttle Curve and Pitch

Curve Settings

An example of throttle curve and pitch

curve settings for aerobatic specifications

is shown below in the form of graphs.

Details of the curves will differ depending

on the helicopter specifications. In these

examples, the throttle open-close stroke

and autorotation pitch stroke are set 0 to

100 to ease your understanding of other

curves.

REVOLUTION MIXING (HEADING LOCK GYROS ONLY)

The Revolution Mixing function mixes tail

rotor with the Throttle and Pitch Curve

functions to counteract torque from the

main rotor blades. 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.

75XP6102 - Helicopter Manual

Accessing the Revolution Mixing Function

1. Place the transmitter switch in the On

position.

2. Press the Down and Select keys

simultaneously to enter the Function

Mode.

3. Press the Up or Down keys until

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.

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.

PROGRAMMABLE MIXING

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.

79XP6102 - Helicopter Manual

Programmable Mixing Offsets

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;

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

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.

Then, hover your helicopter. Using

forward cyclic only, push your heli into

forward flight, but don’t 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.

Rudder-to-Throttle Mixing

When doing a roll or at anytime hard-over

cyclic is used, the main rotor’s 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.

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.

SERVO PRECAUTIONS x

• Do not lubricate servo gears or motors.

• 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."

• 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

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

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 PCM—only 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.

xFEDERAL 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.

Director, Air Traffic Service Federal

Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C.

84 XP6102 - Manual

xDAILY FLIGHT CHECKS

1. Check the battery voltage on both the

transmitter and the receiver battery

packs. Do not fly below 9.0V on the

transmitter or below 4.7V on the

receiver. To do so can crash your aircraft.

Note: When you check these batteries,

ensure that you have the polarities

correct on your expanded scale

voltmeter.

2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws,

nuts, and bolts) prior to each day's flight.

Be sure that binding does not occur and

that all parts are is properly secured.

3. Ensure that all surfaces are moving in

the proper manner.

4. Perform a ground range check before

each day's flying session. The range

check should be as follows:

• Do not extend the transmitter antenna at

this time. Turn the transmitter "on."

• Turn the model "on."

• Slowly walk away from the model while

moving the control surfaces. The aircraft

should function properly at a distance of

60-75 feet.

5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off

your transmitter, then turn it back on. Do

this each time you start your aircraft. If

any critical switches are on without your

knowledge, the transmitter alarm will

warn you at this time.

6. Check that all trim levers are in the

proper location.

7. All servo pigtails and switch harness

plugs should be secured in the receiver.

Make sure that the switch harness moves

freely in both directions.
