2) Install the sen/i: horn orllo the servo matting sure thatlhe servo horn is as close to being centered
as possible In some Cases you can get the servo arm closer to being centered by rotating the
servo arm 180“ and reinstalling it.
IMPORTANT it is always recommended to install the serve horns as close to being centered as
possiele, prior to changing the Servo Centering percentage values. After you change the Sewn
Centering percentage values to center the servo horns, only then should yeu manually adjust
the control linkages to center the control surfaces When setting up your control linkages. it's
recommended that the serve arms and the control surfaces should he centered, and the control
linkages should he as close to perpendicular to the servo arms as posslole.
The 90405 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory Any amount of trim that you set durlrtg flight using the trim
switches is automatically stored in memory for that speclfic channel and model. and for that specific Flight Mode (if
Enabled) The Trim percentage values for each model Wlll automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON and your

make your model fly straight and level. you can use the Servo Centering function to add that amount of trim back into the servcts)
then move the trim swrtches back to center This ensures that your trim swttches are always centered
1) After flying your model, check your model‘s control surfaces to see how much trim was necessary to achieve straight and
level flight
2) From Within the CENTER menu, highlight the channel you need to add Centering trim to
3) Recenter the trim sWitch, then change the Serve Centering percentage value until the control surface is in the same positien

Dual Rate Overview
The Dual Rate iunction allows you to change the control authority ot the control sunaces by changing the amount at servo lravel
For example it you are flying an aerobatic helicopter that requires a lot or control throw ror aerobatics out that same amount or
control throw makes the helicopter oimcult to control during normal ilight you can use the Dual Rate tunctron to lower the control
throw ior normal ilight wllh lust the flip oi the Dual Rate switch Two Dual Rate settings are available tor the Elevator Aileron and
Rudder channels and different Dual Rate settings can be programmed separately for each otthe three Flight Modes
Dual Rate is a percentage of End PointAdyusiment. For example ilyou set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to 100%,
the control surfaces wrll travel the same amount as defined by your End Point Adjustment programming, and if you set the
Dual Rate 2 percentage value to 50%t the control surfaces Wlll travel half that amount when Dual Rate 2 is Activated Prior to
takeoff check the position orthe Dual Rate switch to ensure that it is in the positron you want

Exmne Overv ew
The Exponential tunction allows you to vary the amount at servo travel in relation to the movement of the elevator. aileron, and
rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surlaces react to control stick movement increasing
the Exponential value will soften the control teel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value thI heighten the control
leei around neutral. For example, using a positive Exponential percentage value allows tor smoother control oy lessening the
amount of servo travel in relation to the amount oi control stick movement Using a negative Exponential percentage value may
result in more 'twitchy‘ control response because the amount or servo travel will be increased in relation to the amount or control
stick movement. The Exponential lunction is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential tor
each olthe two Dual Rate positions separately
Exponential does not change the total amount of servo travel at maximum control stick detlection. Exponential afiects

WARNING it you have not used Exponential functions in the past. we suggest that you start With a small percentage or Exponential
(approximately 10%~2o%) until you get used to the feel ot how Exponential attects the control loci of your model, You will tind
that Exponential is most useful where strong control response is desired at extreme control stick positions. out softer control

The Throttle Curve function allows you to vary the amount ot throttle servo travel in relation to the movement ofthe throttle control
stick at different points throughout the entire range ot detlection Five custom-programmable Palms ensure a precise Throttle
Curve to suit any situation For example it you are doing 3D flying you can adlust the Throttle Curve so that you have maxlmum
power and rotor head speed at both the low throttle control stick position and the high throttle control stick position when you have
full negative and positive collective pitch tor aeroballcs, out reduced power when the throttle control stick is near the center so
that the rotor head will not overspeed With reduced collective
lncluded Within the Throttle Curve function is the Throttle l-lold function The Throttle Hold function allows you to set a specilic
position that the throttle servo Witt Hold and not respond to the throttle control stick This function is typically used to Hold the
throttle at idle or low speed‘ while still altoWing you tull pitch control This is ideal tor practicing auto-rotations and is also a good
safety feature on electric helicopters because when Activated the rotor head will not spin up if you accidentally pump the throttle
control stick up
For greater flexibility. the Throttle Curve and Throttle t-totd tunctions can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes
or separately for each of the three Flight Modes A graph With input and Output indicators help With programming Visualization

at dlftererlt points throughout the entire range of deflection Five customrprograrrlrnable Pornts ensure a precise Pitch Curve
to suit any situation. For example. iryou are doing 3D flying. you may want a Linear Pitch Curve with maximum negative pitch
when the throttle control stick is at low. maximum positive pitch when the throttle control stick is at high. and 0 degrees or pitch
when the throttle control stick is centered Alternatively. for a more docile flying helicopter. you may want minimum negative
pitch when the throttle control stick is all the way back and gradually increase pitch in small increments as the throttle control
stick moves from low to high, to produce a smooth transition from low to high throttle.
For greater flexibility. the Pitch Curve function can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of
the three Flight Modes. A graph wtth Input and Output indicators help wtth programming visualization

The Revolution Mixing tunctiori mixes rudder and collective pitch controls, which makes the helicopter more steole when collecltve
pitch is increased For example when you increase collective pitch as the rotor head speed and pitch increase, the torque that
it creates can cause the tail of the helicopter to pivot Adding Revolution mlxlng helps prevent this from occurring which makes
the helicopter more stable in the yaw axls The amount and the direction that the rudder moves wtth collective pitch control is
adlusted by changing the High side and Lovv side percentage values
The Revolutton MIXlng function can be programmed for both the High and Low throttle sides independently
For greater fiexlblllty, the Revolution Mixing tunction can be programmed either the same tor all Flight Modes or separately for
