9XP662 MANUAL  IntroductionThe XP662 is a full feature introductory computerradio for airplanes and/or helicopters. This manual isdivided into two main sections: airplanes andhelicopters. You need only refer to the section thatpertains to the type of model you are programming—e.g., if you are programming your XF662 for helicopters,follow the instructions in the helicopter section. Blank data sheets are included at the end of bothsections. Once you have input all the necessary datainto your transmitter for a particular model, westrongly recommend that you immediately write that information down on a copy of the data sheetprovided. This is to insure that, in the rare case of a memory failure, you will not lose your data.Airplane and Helicopter Mode•Easy-to-read LCD screen• 6-model name entry•6-model memory•Dual rates on aileron and elevator•Dual rates can be combined on one switch•Exponential rate on aileron and elevator•Trainer system compatible with most  JR radios•Easy-access programming buttons•Computer designed ergonomically styled case•Adjustable stick length•Throttle trim only affects idle position•Two speed scrolling: press and hold theappropriate button to scroll quickly or press andrelease to scroll in steps•FM/PCM selectable•Fail-safe/fail-safe memory (PCM only)•Digital trims for precise adjustmentAirplane Mode•Aileron to rudder mixing•Elevator to flap mixing•Flap to elevator mixing•Flaperons mixing•Delta wing mixing•Aileron differential•V-tail mixing•Three programmable mixes •Mixing differentialHelicopter Mode•Two 3-point throttle curves•Two 3-point pitch curves (three when throttlehold is activated)•Flight mode switch can combine throttle curve,pitch curve, dual rates, and gyro sensitivity•Throttle hold•Revolution mixing up and down•Programmable mixing•Optional 120° CCPM Swashplate mixing•Separate trim setting for all flight modesR700 Slimline Receiver•The R700’s extremely compact “slimline” designallows it to fit easily in limited spaces.•An independent laboratory ranked the R700 Receiver with JR’s patented ABC&W circuitry as one of the best receivers ever tested in terms of 3IM, 2IM, signal-to-noise ratio, adjacent channel rejection, and on-channel capture point.•The R700 is compatible with all JR FMtransmitting radios.•A special “unwanted interference limiter” ignoressignals outside of the R700’s band width when the receiver is on and the transmitter is off. The limiter also prevents servos from random glitching when other transmitters are operating in close proximity.•The electrical circuitry is state-of-the-art surface mount technology (SMT). These SMT componentsdraw less current, thus increasing flying time. Flush mounting of these components also reduces the risk of vibration, wear, and damage.CHAPTER 1:USING THIS MANUAL • IntroductionUSING THIS MANUAL1CHAPTER 2:FEATURESTRANSMITTER FEATURES2.1RECEIVER FEATURES2.23984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 9

13XP662 MANUAL  IntroductionCHAPTER 4:BATTERY CHARGING • IntroductionThe pilot lamps should always be on during thecharging operation. If they are not, check to makesure you have turned off both the transmitter and receiver.Do not use the charger for equipment other than JR.The charging plug polarity may not be the same andequipment damage may result.Do not use other manufacturers’ after-marketaccessories that plug into the transmitter’s chargingjack. If you do, any damage that results will not becovered by warranty. If you are unsure ofcompatibilities with your radio, seek expert advicebefore doing anything to avoid possible damage.During the charging operation, the charger’stemperature is slightly elevated. This is normal.CHARGER4.2It is imperative that you fully charge both thetransmitter and the receiver battery packs prior toeach day of flying. For the initial charge, leave thecharger and batteries hooked up for 20–24 hours inorder to fully charge both battery packs to peakcapacity. For subsequent charges, leave the chargerand batteries hooked up overnight (approximately 16 hours). The charger supplied with this system is designed torecharge your transmitter battery at a rate of 50mA.The receiver battery pack will charge at 50mA for the600mAh airplane battery pack and at 150mA for the1000mAh helicopter battery pack.Transmitter OnlyThe 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 any other manufacturers’ chargers and radio systems. Beware of improper connections based on “color code” wire leads, as they do not apply in this instance. You must make certain that the center pin of your JR transmitter is always connectedto the negative voltage for correct polarity hookup.CENTER PIN IS NEGATIVEOUTSIDE IS POSITIVERIGHT SIDE OF TRANSMITTERCHARGER PIGTAIL FOR RECEIVERCHARGER PIGTAIL FOR TRANSMITTERBLACK TO POSITIVERED TO NEGATIVERED–POSITIVE / BROWN–NEGATIVE / ORANGE–SIGNALTRANSMITTER/RECEIVER4.13984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 13
14 XP662 MANUAL  IntroductionThe XP662 features a built-in trainer system. Thetransmitter can be used as either a master (trainer) oras a slave (trainee). The XP662 is compatible with allother current JR radios that have built-in trainersystems. An optional Trainer Cord (JRPA130) is needed .1. Match the servo reversing and trims of both radios.2. Plug the optional trainer cord into both transmitters.3. Turn on the master transmitter. (Note: The slave radio must be left off.)4. Test all the control functions on your aircraft withthe master radio.5. Push the trainer button on the mastertransmitter and check all the control functionswith the slave radio.CHAPTER 5:TRAINER SYSTEM • IntroductionTRAINER SYSTEM5D.S.C.

When a trim input is given, the displayscreen will automatically change to show the trimvalue for current channel being adjusted. Once thetrim change has been completed, the screen willautomatically return to the previous screen displayafter 2–3 seconds.A significant feature found only with Digital Trims isthe ability for the XP662 to automatically store thetrim values in the system memory. This eliminatesthe need for previously found software functions likeTrim Offset Memory, Rudder Offset Memory (Heli),and Stunt Trim (Heli).In Heli mode, the XP662's digital trims provide aseparate set of trim values for each Flight mode(Normal, Stunt, and Throttle Hold), which takes theplace of the previously needed Stunt Trim function.With this feature, the trim levers are active in allflight modes, and will store the trim values for eachmode independantly. This feature also takes theplace of the previously needed rudder offsetfunction, since there is now a completely separateset of trim setting for the Throttle Hold mode.DIGITAL TRIM LEVERS1.2CONTROL IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION • Mode IICHAPTER 1:TRANSMITTER CONTROLS • Airplane1.13984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 15

17XP662 MANUAL  AirplaneCHAPTER 1:TRANSMITTER CONTROLS • AirplaneTo adjust the control stick length, use a 2mm Allenwrench to unlock the set screw located inside the endof the control stick. Turn the set screw counterclockwiseto loosen it, then turn the knurled portion of the stickto adjust the length. Counterclockwise will lengthenthe stick and clockwise will shorten it. After thecontrol stick(s) has been adjusted to suit your flyingstyle, tighten the set screw.For proper DSC hook-up and operation:1.  Leave the transmitter power switch off. The transmitter will not transmit any radio frequency (RF) in this position.2.  Plug the optional DSC Cord (JRPA132) 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 on the switch harness.Note: When installing the optional charging jack (JRPA024), 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 airplane without drawing the fully operational 200mAh from your transmitter battery pack. Instead, you will only draw 70mAh when using the DSC function.Note: You will need to purchase (separately) both the DSC Cord (JRPA132) and the JR Deluxe Switch Harness (JRPA001) to make use of the XP662 DSC function.2.  The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to your airplane or helicopter 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 aircraft.Note: Under no circumstances should you attempt to fly your aircraft with the DSC Cord plugged in! This feature is for bench checking your aircraft only.There is an eye hook on the front of the transmitterfor attaching an optional neck strap (JRPA023). Theeye hook is precisely positioned (see Section 1.1) so that the transmitter will be perfectly balancedwhen a neck strap is used.CONTROL STICK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT1.5LOOSENTIGHTENSET SCREWDIRECT SERVO CONTROL (DSC)1.6ABCA—Charge Cord/DSC ReceptacleB—Switch Harness LeadC—Charger/DCS CordNECK STRAP ATTACHMENT1.73984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 17
18 XP662 MANUAL  AirplanePlease read and carefully follow these suggestions.1. For added protection, wrap the RX and the RX Ni-Cd in foam rubber that is at least 1/4” thick.2. Run the RX antenna through the fuselage and make sure it is fully extended. Never cut or bundle your RX antenna—this will decrease range and performance.3.  Rubber servo grommets are included with yourradio system and should be installed in the servoflanges. The servos should then be mounted oneither hardwood rails or a plywood tray with themounting screws provided. Do not overtightenthe mounting screws. The flange of the brasseyelets should face down (toward the wood).4. All servos must be able to move freely over thefull range of their travel. Make sure the linkagesdo not impede servo travel. A stalled servo willdrain the battery pack within a few minutes.5. Before installing servo output arms, make surethe servo is in its neutral position.6. In the case of gas-powered model aircraft, mountthe receiver power switch on the side of the fuselageopposite the muffler to protect the switch fromexhaust residue. With other types of models,mount the switch in the most convenient place.Make sure that the switch operates freely and iscapable of traveling its full distance.7. With your model sitting on the ground and the transmitter antenna collapsed, check that your system works at a distance of 75 to 100 feet.If your system stops functioning at a distancethat is shorter than listed above, please contactthe Horizon Service Center for furtherinformation prior to flying your model.INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSCHAPTER 2:CONNECTIONS • AirplaneCONNECTIONS2.22.1ONOFFAUXILIARY 1 (FLAP)GEARRUDDERELEVATORAILERONTHROTTLEON/OFF SWITCH HARNESS(JRPA003)RECEIVER BATTERY4N-600226X RECEIVERNEW ABC & W SYSTEM6 CHANNEL RECEIVER BATTAUX 1GEARRUDDELEVAILETHRONER-226XJAPAN REMOTE CONTROL CO., LTDMADE IN JAPAN72MHzANTENNAGEAR7 CH 72MHz FM SLIMLINERECEIVERABC&W INTERFERENCEPROTECTION SYSTEMBATTRUDDELEVAILETHROAUX1R700 RECEIVERANTENNAOptionalOptional3984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 18

The positionthat each servo assumes is determined by you, as isthe time length of interference that must occurbefore servo movement.After the interference has ceased, control of theairplane returns immediately to you.There are three time delays to choose from: 1/3 (0.3)second, 1/2 (0.5) second and 1.0 second. These time delays are the amount of time it takes, starting themoment the interference occurs, until the servosassume their preset positions.1.

Press the SCROLL button until “FST” appears onthe screen.Note: If Fail-Safe does not appear on your LCD, it isbecause you are transmitting in PPM. Fail-Safe is notapplicable in the PPM mode. Refer to the ModulationMode Selection section for more information.The Fail-Safe/Hold function is available only whenyou use the XP662 transmitter in either of thePCM modulations: S-PCM or Z-PCM. This function isdesigned to help minimize damage to your airplaneduring a loss of signal to the receiver. The servoseither assume the fail-safe presets or hold the lastgood signal position.Note: In the PCM modulations, the Fail-Safe/Holdfunction cannot be totally disabled so that the servoswill react to interference in the same way as they do ina PPM system. This is only possible with the use of aPPM receiver and the transmitter in the PPM modulation.Note: Since the actual screen appearance varies,depending on the modulation of your radio, referto the appropriate modulation section which follows(Z-PCM, S-PCM).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 appearon your LCD in the PPM mode.Refer to the Modulation Selection section for moreinformation pertaining to the broadcast signal ofyour XP662 transmitter.FAIL-SAFE/HOLD6.8CHAPTER 6:FUNCTIONS (SYSTEM MODE) • Airplane3984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 30

CHANNELSCROLL INCREASEDECREASEENTER35XP662 MANUAL  AirplaneDual rate is available for the aileron and elevatorchannels. The purpose of this function is to allow forin-flight selection of two preset servo travels for eachof these channels. The amount of travel is adjustablefrom 0-125%. The factory settings for both switchpositions (0 and 1) is 100%. Either position may beselected as the low or high rate by placing theswitches in the desired position and adjusting thevalue for that position. Operation of these switchesis described in Section 6.3.Different types of maneuvers require varyingamounts of control movements. Snap rolls requirelarge control movements, while smooth maneuverslike long slow rolls are best performed with smallercontrol movements. Dual rates allow you to changethe control movements in flight at the flip of aswitch. This allows you to execute maneuversrequiring both radical control movements and smallcontrol movements during a single flight.1. Turn on the transmitter.2.

36 XP662 MANUAL  AirplaneCHAPTER 7:FUNCTIONS (FUNCTION MODE) • AirplaneProgrammable exponential adjustments are offeredon the aileron and elevator channels of your XP662system. Exponential is a function that allows you totailor the response rate of the controls as comparedto the stick inputs. The purpose of exponential is toreduce the sensitivity in the middle portion of stickmovement, while still allowing full travel at the endof the stick movement. In other words, the end result(travel) remains the same, although exponentialchanges the rate at which it achieves this travel.The adjustable range of the Exponential function isfrom 0–100%. Zero percent (0%) is linear stick controlwhich means that the response rate is equalthroughout the stick control. One hundred percent(100%) is full exponential. The larger the exponentialvalue, the less servo action, or sensitivity, you willnotice around the neutral setting.Note: The Exponential function operates inconjunction with the Dual Rate function. It isimperative to understand the Dual Rate functionprior to adjusting the exponential values.Exponential may be selected independently foreither the high or low rate (position 0 or 1) or both.EXPONENTIAL7.3Accessing the Exponential Function1.

CHANNELSCROLL INCREASEDECREASEENTER45XP662 MANUAL  AirplaneThe XP662 in aircraft mode offers threeprogrammable mixes to be used for a number ofdifferent purposes. The functions allow mixing anyone channel to any other channel.The mix can remain ON at all times, or be switchedOFF in flight using a number of different switches.(Refer to Chart A). Each channel is identified bychannel numbers 1-6 (i.e., 2 = aileron, 4 = rudder,etc.—See Chart B) The channel appearing first isknown as the “master channel,” or the channel towhich you want to mix. The second channel is knownas the “slave channel” or the channel that is beingmixed into the master channel. For example, “AILE-RUDD” would indicate aileron-to-rudder mixing.Each time the aileron stick is moved, the aileron willdeflect, and the rudder will automatically move inthe direction and to the value input. Mixing isproportional, so small inputs of the master channelwill produce small outputs of the slave channel.Each programmable mix has a mixing “offset.” Thepurpose of the mixing offset is to redefine theneutral position of the slave channel.PROGRAMMABLE MIXING (A,B,C)7.10Accessing the Programmable Mixing Function1.

Turn the set screwcounterclockwise to loosen it, then turn the knurledportion of the stick to adjust the length.Counterclockwise will lengthen the stick andclockwise will shorten it. After the control stick(s)has been adjusted to suit your flying style, tightenthe set screw back.For proper DSC hook-up and operation:1.  Leave the transmitter power switch off. The transmitter will not transmit any radio frequency(RF) in this position.2.  Plug the optional DSC Cord (JRPA132) 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 receivercharge receptacle. Turn on the switch harness.Note: When installing the optional Charging Jack (JRPA025), be sure to hook the charging jackreceptacle 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 70mAh when using the DSC function.Note: You will need to purchase (separately) both the DSC Cord (JRPA132) and the JR DeluxeSwitch Harness (JRPA001) to make use of the XP662 DSC Function.2.  The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to your airplane or helicopter 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 aircraft.Note: Under no circumstances should you attemptto fly your aircraft with the DSC Cord plugged in!This feature is for bench checking your aircraft only.There is an eye hook on the front of the transmitterfor attaching an optional Neck Strap (JRPA023). Theeye hook is precisely positioned (see Section 1.1) sothat the transmitter will be perfectly balanced whena neck strap is used.LOOSENTIGHTENSET SCREWABCA—Charge Cord/DSC ReceptacleB—Switch Harness LeadC—Charger/DCS Cord3984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:11 PM  Page 51

Run the RX antenna through the fuselage andmake sure it is fully extended. Never cut orbundle your RX antenna—this will decreaserange and performance.3.  Rubber servo grommets are included with yourradio system and should be installed in the servoflanges. The servos should then be mounted oneither hardwood rails or a plywood tray with themounting screws provided. Do not overtightenthe mounting screws. The flange of the brasseyelets should face down (toward the wood).4. All servos must be able to move freely over thefull range of their travel. Make sure the linkagesdo not impede servo travel. A stalled servo willdrain the battery pack within a few minutes.5. Before installing servo output arms, make surethe servo is in its neutral position.6. In the case of gas-powered model aircraft, mountthe receiver power switch on the side of thefuselage opposite the muffler to protect theswitch from exhaust residue. With other types of models, mount the switch in the mostconvenient place. Make sure that the switchoperates freely and is capable of traveling its full distance.7.

When the Fail-Safe function is activated (i.e., whenthe signal is interrupted), the transmitter automaticallymoves each servo to a preset position. The positionthat each servo assumes is determined by you, as isthe time length of interference that must occurbefore servo movement.After the interference has ceased, control of theairplane returns immediately to you.There are three time delays to choose from: 1/3 (0.3)second, 1/2(0.5) second and 1.0 second. These timedelays are the amount of time it takes, starting themoment the interference occurs, until the servosassume their preset positions.1.   Press the SCROLL and INCREASE buttonssimultaneously and hold.2.   Turn on the transmitter to enter the System mode.3.   Press the SCROLL button until “FST” appears onthe screen.Note: If “Fail-Safe” does not appear on your LCD, itis because you are transmitting in PPM. Fail-Safe isnot applicable in the PPM mode.

69XP662 MANUAL  HelicopterCHAPTER 7:FUNCTIONS (FUNCTION MODE) • HelicopterProgrammable exponential adjustments are offeredon the aileron and elevator channels of your XP662system. Exponential is a function that allows you totailor the response rate of the controls as comparedto the stick inputs. The purpose of exponential is toreduce the sensitivity in the middle portion of stickmovement, while still allowing full travel at the endof the stick movement. In other words, the end result(travel) remains the same, although exponentialchanges the rate at which it achieves this travel.The adjustable range of the Exponential function isfrom 0–100%. Zero percent (0%) is linear stickcontrol which means that the response rate is equalthroughout the stick control. One hundred percent(100%) is full exponential. The larger the exponentialvalue, the less servo action, or sensitivity, you willnotice around the neutral setting.Note: The Exponential function operates inconjunction with the Dual Rate function. It isimperative to understand the Dual Rate Functionprior to adjusting the exponential values.Exponential may be selected independently foreither the high or low rate (position 0 or 1) or both.EXPONENTIAL7.3Accessing the Exponential Function1.

Sub-trim can alsoallow additional trim travel when mechanical trimsdo not provide enough movement.Note: It is recommended to use as little subtrim aspossible for adjustment. If more that 20–30 pointsare required, is it suggested that a mechanicallinkage adjustment be performed.1. Turn on the transmitter.2.

75XP662 MANUAL  HelicopterCHAPTER 7:FUNCTIONS (FUNCTION MODE) • HelicopterThe Revolution Mixing function combines tail rotorinput with the throttle/collective function tocounteract the torque created by the main rotorblades. When properly adjusted, the helicopter willclimb and descend without a tendency to yaw ineither direction. Revolution mixing is for use withnon heading lock gyros only.Since the torque created by the main rotor bladesvaries with different throttle/pitch settings, it isnecessary for the tail rotor blades to change pitch atthe same time. The “U” or up mixing adjusts the tailrotor compensation from the mid to high throttlestick setting. The “D” or down mixing adjusts the tailrotor compensation from the mid to the low throttlestick setting.Thus, if you were to move the throttle from the lowto high positions, the tail rotor servo will move fromthe “D” to the “U” settings.Revolution Mixing Set-up ProcedureFirst, set up the helicopter so that it will maintain astable hover with the tail rotor trim in the centerposition. Next, bring the helicopter into a steadyvertical climb. The body of the helicopter will movein the opposite direction to the main rotor rotation.Increase the “U” or up mixing until the helicopterclimbs without the tendency to rotate. At a safe altitude,reduce the throttle. The helicopter will descend, andthe body will turn in the same direction as the mainrotor blades.

76 XP662 MANUAL  HelicopterThe XP662 in Helicopter mode offers one (1)programmable mix to be used for a number ofdifferent purposes. The functions allow mixing anyone channel to any other channel.The mix can remain on at all times or be switched offin flight using a number of different switches. (Referto Chart A). Each channel is identified by channelnumbers 1-6 (i.e., 2 = aileron, 4 = rudder, etc. —seeChart B) The channel appearing first is known as theMaster Channel or the channel to which you want tomix. The second channel is known as the SlaveChannel or the channel that is being mixed into theMaster Channel. For example, “ELEV-AILE” wouldindicate elevator-to-aileron mixing each time theelevator stick is moved, the elevator will deflect, andthe aileron will automatically move in the directionand to the value input. Mixing is proportional, sosmall inputs of the master channel will producesmall outputs of the slave channel. Eachprogrammable mix has a mixing “offset.” The purposeof the mixing offset is to redefine the neutralposition of the slave channel.The elevator-aileron mix mentioned above is mostcommonly used to help trim the helicopter for proper“loop tracking.” This type of mix should be used onlyby pilots who are comfortable with theirprogramming abilities with the XP662.PROGRAMMABLE MIXING (A)7.10Accessing the Programmable Mixing Function1.

81XP662 MANUAL  HelicopterHOW 120 CCPM WORKS7.13CHAPTER 7:FUNCTIONS (FUNCTION MODE) • HelicopterAs mentioned previously, 120° Three-Servo CCPMrelies on the radio’s special CCPM swashplate mixing,rather than a conventional mechanical mixer that isutilized to achieve the same results.The radio’s 120° Three-Servo CCPM functionautomatically mixes the three servos to provide thecorrect mixing inputs for aileron (roll), elevator(pitch), and collective. The following is an example ofhow each control input affects the servo’s movement:1. CollectiveWhen a collective pitch input is given, all threeservos (A, B, and C) move together in the samedirection, at equal amounts, to raise and lower theswashplate while keeping the swashplate level.During this function, all three servos travel at thesame value (100%) so that the swashplate canremain level during the increase and decrease inpitch. As mentioned, this mixing of the three servosis achieved through the radio’s CCPM program.2. Elevator (Pitch)When an elevator input is given, all three servosmust move to tilt the swashplate fore and aft, buttheir directions vary. The two rear servos (B and C)move together in the same direction, while thefront servo (A) moves in the opposite direction. Forexample, when an up elevator (back cyclic)command is given, the two rear servos (B and C)will move downward, while the front servo (A)moves upward so that the swashplate will tilt aft.During this function, the front servo (A) travels at100%, while the two rear servos (B and C) travel at50% (1/2 the travel value) of the front servo. Thisdifference in travel is necessary due to the fact thatthe position of the front control ball is two timesthe distance of the two rear control ball position asmeasured from the center of the swashplate. Asmentioned, this mixing of the three servos is alsoachieved through the radio’s CCPM program.3. Aileron (Roll) When an aileron (roll) input is given, the two rearservos (B and C) travel in opposite directions, whilethe front servo (A) remains motionless. Forexample, when a left aileron (roll) command isgiven, the left rear servo (C) will move downward,while the right rear servo (B) will move upward totilt the swashplate to the left. As mentioned, thefront servo (A) will remain motionless. The travelvalue for each of the two rear servos is 100%.Please refer to the diagram below for clarification.Front of HelicopterElevator Axis120° CCPM Control System3984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:12 PM  Page 81
82 XP662 MANUAL  HelicopterHOW 120 CCPM WORKS (continued)7.13CHAPTER 7:FUNCTIONS (FUNCTION MODE) • HelicopterThe JR 120° CCPM or Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixingsystem offers the user a control system that canaccomplish the same control inputs as the One-ServoStandard system, but with increased precision andreduced complexity.As with the One-Servo system, the JR CCPM systemutilizes three servos for the three main controls:aileron (roll), elevator (pitch) and collective. TheCCPM lower swashplate ring is designed with onlythree control balls, spaced at 120° from each other,hence the 120° CCPM designation. Although thecontrol balls are not at 90° as in the standard system,the aileron (roll) axis is still parallel to the mainmechanics of the helicopter, and the elevator (pitch)axis still functions at 90° to the mechanics as doesthe One-Servo System. Please refer to the diagrambelow for clarification.  The main and important difference in the way thatthese two systems operate is that unlike the One-Servo system where the three servos work completelyindependent from each other, the CCPM systems workas a team to achieve the same control inputs. Forexample, if an aileron (roll) input is given, two servoswork together to move the swashplate left and right. Ifan elevator (pitch) input is given, all three servos worktogether to move the swashplate fore and aft. Forcollective, it’s also the strength of three servos thatwill move the swashplate up and down the main rotorshaft. With two to three servos working at the sametime during any given control input, servo torque ismaximized and servo centering is also increased. Inaddition to these benefits, CCPM achieves thesecontrol responses without the need for complexmechanical mixing systems that require many morecontrol rods and parts to set up.This amazing CCPM control is achieved throughspecial CCPM Swashplate Mixing that is pre-programmedinto many of today’s popular radio systems.Since the 120° CCPM function is pre-programmed,CCPM is no more complicated to set up than aconventional One-Servo Standard system. When youfactor in the reduced parts count and easyprogramming, CCPM is actually easier to set up andoperate than many conventional systems.Elevator Axis120°120°Three-Servo CCPM Control SystemAileron Axis120 Three-Servo CCPM Swashplate Mixing3984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:12 PM  Page 82

84 XP662 MANUAL  Important InformationIMPORTANT INFORMATIONRadio controlled models are a great source ofpleasure. Unfortunately, they can also pose apotential hazard if not maintained and operatedproperly. It is imperative that you install your radiocontrol system correctly. Additionally, your level ofpiloting competency must be high enough to ensurethat you are able to control your aircraft under allconditions. If you are a newcomer to radio controlledflying, please seek help from an experienced pilot oryour local hobby shop.Listed below are some safety Dos and Don’ts thatmust be followed by all pilots: • Ensure that your batteries have been properlycharged prior to initial flight.• Keep track of the time that the system is turnedon so that you will have an idea of how long youcan safely operate your system.• Perform a ground range check prior to the initialflight of the day. See the “Daily Flight Checks”section below for information on how to do so.• Check all control surfaces prior to each takeoff. • Use frequency flags.• Do not fly your model near spectators, parkingareas, or at any other area that could result ininjury to people or damage of property.• Do not fly during adverse weather conditions.Poor visibility can cause disorientation and lossof control of your aircraft. Strong winds cancause similar problems.• Do not fly unless your frequency is clear. Warning: Only one transmitter at a time canoperate on a given frequency. If you turn on yourtransmitter while someone else is operating amodel on your frequency, both pilots will losecontrol of their models. Only one person can usea given frequency at a time. It does not matter if itis AM, FM, or PCM—only one frequency at a time.• Do not point the transmitter antenna directlytoward the model. The radiation pattern from thetip of the antenna is inherently low. • Do not take chances. If at any time during flightyou observe any erratic or abnormal operation,land immediately and do not resume flight untilthe cause of the problem has been ascertainedand corrected.1. Check the battery voltage on both the transmitterand the receiver battery packs. Do not fly below9.0 volts on the transmitter or below 4.7 volts on the receiver. To do so can cause a crash ofyour aircraft.Note: When you check these batteries, ensure thatyou have the polarities correct on your expandedscale voltmeter.2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, bolts)prior to each day’s flight. Be sure that binding doesnot occur and that everything 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 beas follows:• Do not extend the transmitter antenna at thistime. Turn the transmitter on.• Turn the model on.• Slowly walk away from the model while movingthe control surfaces. The aircraft shouldfunction properly at a distance of 75 to 100 feet.5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off yourtransmitter then turn it back on. Do this eachtime you start your aircraft. If any criticalswitches are on without your knowledge, thetransmitter alarm will warn you.6. Ensure that all trim levers are in the proper location.7. Be sure that all servo pigtails and switch harnessplugs are secured in the receiver. Make sure that the switch harness moves completely inboth directions.GENERAL NOTES1DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS23984 JR XP662 Manual  1/21/02  1:12 PM  Page 84
