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.
RIGHT SIDE OF TRANSMITTER
CENTER
PIN IS
NEGATIVE
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.
OUTSIDE IS POSITIVE
CHARGER PIGTAIL FOR TRANSMITTER
BLACK TO POSITIVE
RED TO NEGATIVE
CHARGER PIGTAIL FOR RECEIVER
RED–POSITIVE / BROWN–NEGATIVE / ORANGE–SIGNAL
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.
XP6102 - Introduction
Do not use other manufacturers' aftermarket 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.
10
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
approximately one inch longer than
standard. This stick, crafted from bar
stock aluminum, is available at your
local JR dealer.

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.
12
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.
XP6102 - Airplane Manual
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.

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 overtighten 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.
If you are flying when this occurs, land
immediately.
4.2 BACKUP ERROR DISPLAY
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.

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.

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.

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.
THR:
AIL:
ELE:
RUD:
GEA:
FLA:
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 redefine the neutral position of the slave
channel.

6.11 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 failsafe 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 FailSafe/Hold function will not appear on
your LCD screen menu while in the

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
approximately one inch longer than
standard. This stick, crafted from bar
stock aluminum, is available at your
local JR dealer.

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.
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.
46
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.
XP6102 - Helicopter Manual
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).

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 overtighten 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.
If you are flying when this occurs, land
immediately.
4.2 BACKUP ERROR DISPLAY
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.

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.

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.

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 0100%. 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.

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

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
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.
XP6102 - Helicopter Manual
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.
THR:
AIL:
ELE:
RUD:
GEA:
PIT:
6.12
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 redefine the neutral position of the slave
channel.

XP6102 - 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-tothrottle 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.
XP6102 - Helicopter Manual
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.

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 failsafe 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 FailSafe/Hold function will not appear on
your LCD screen menu while in the

SERVO PRECAUTIONS
• 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.
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.
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.
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

•
• 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.

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 fullscale aircraft (get help if possible) so
as not to create a collision 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.
Information Provided By:
Director, Air Traffic Service Federal
Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C.
DAILY 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
84
b. Select an operating site at sufficient
distance from populated areas so you
do not create a noise problem or a
potential hazard.
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.
