2.4GHz
FHSS
radio
system
setup
Since the 2.4GHz have different characteristics than that of the conventional frequencies, please read
this section carefully to enjoy safe flight with the 2.4GHz system.
1.The 2.4GHz band may be used by other devices, or other devices in the immediate area may cause
interference on the same band, Always before taking off, conduct a bench test to make sure the
servos operate properly. Also, conduct checks with the transmitter as distant as possible from the
aircraft. Safety is best ensured by having an assistant carry the aircraft as far away as possible
for checks.
2. Do not fly aircraft in the vicinity of areas in which wireless LANs are being used, Also, do not operate
the transmitter any where near cell phones or other devices that generate radio waves, etc, This can
have adverse effects such as shortening the coverage distance of the aircraft.
3.The response speed of the receiver can be affected if used where multiple 2.4GHz radio controllers
are being used, therefore carefully check the area before taking off, if response seems slow while
flying,land immediately and stop flying.
4.Observe any applicable laws and regulations on fly zones when using the 2.4GHz radio controller.
5.Unlike frequency bands used with earlier radio controllers, reception with 2.4GHz radio controller is
adversely affected by large obstructions and concrete or steel structures between the aircraft and
transmitter. Also, wire mesh and similar barriers can adversely affect operation. Keep this in mind in
order to fly the aircraft safely.
General Precautions for use
1. Turn the transmitter ON first and then the receiver to fly the aircraft. When finished flying, turn the
receiver OFF first and then the transmitter. It is very dangerous to activate the components in
reverse order as the servo may start up inadvertently.
2. Before flying the aircraft, check that the batteries to the transmitter and receiver are sufficiently
charged.
Receiver’s Antenna Installation
The R510FG has two antennas, These antennas have a diversity function to decrease the chance of
a receiving error.
The wavelength of the 2.4GHz is much shorter than that of the conventional frequencies, it is very
susceptible to loss of signal which results in a receiving error. In order to avoid this phenomenon,
please must follow the receiver antenna installation shown as below. .
TO obtain the best results of the diversity funvtion, please refer to the following
instructions:
1. The two antenna must be kept as straight up as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.
2. The antenna should be placed at 90 degrees to the receiver case.
3. The antenna must be kept away from conductive materials,
such as metal and carbon by at least a half inch. The coaxial
part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines,
but do not bend it in a small radius.

4. Keep the antenna away from the motor, ESC, and
other noise sources as much as possible.
*This photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
For actual installation the receiver must be wrapped with a
sponge or placed with floating material to protect it from vibration .
Anlenna
The
receiver
contains
precision
electronic
parts.
It
is
the
most
delicate
radio
component
on-board
the
model
and
should
be
protected
from
vibration,
shock
and
temperature
extremes.
To
protect
the
receiver,
wrap
it
in
R/C
foam
rubber
or
other
vibration-absorbing
material.
If
appropriate,
waterproof
the
receiver
by
placing
it
in
a
plastic
bag
and
closing
the
open
end
with
a
rubber
band
before
wrapping
it
in
foam
.
If
moisture
enters
the
receiver,
intermittent
operation
or
a
failure
may
result.
Wrapping
the
receiver
in
a
plastic
bag
also
protects
it
from
fuel
and
exhaust
residue
which,
in
some
models,
can
work
its
way
into
the
fuselage.
.
Transmitter Antenna
1. The transmitter antenna is adjustable so please make sure
the antenna is never pointed directly at the model when
running it as this creates a weak signal for the receiver.
2. Keep the antenna vertical to the ground to create a better
RF condition for the receiver. Of course this depends on
how you hold the transmitter, but in most cases, adjusting
the transmitter antenna so that it is vertical to the ground
will give the best results.
3. Never grip the antenna when using this transmitter as this
degrades RF quality.
Pair Procedure
Pairing the transmitter and receiver
1. Drop the throttle stick of the transmitter to LOW.
2. Turn ON power to the transmitter, The BIND LED of the
transmitter lights.
*If an alarm sounds and the LED does not light, the throttle
sticks and Flight Mode switches are incorrectly positioned.
Repeat the setting procedure starting from Step1.
3. While holding down the BIND key on the receiver, turn
the receiver ON. The BIND LED will flash slowly, When
the BIND LED flashed slowly, let go of the receiver’s
BIND key.

4. While the BIND LED on the receiver is flashing slowly, press the BIND Key on the transmitter. The
BIND LED on the receiver starts flashing rapidly and soon after lights solidly. This indicates that
pairing was successful.
*Unless the BIND key on the transmitter is pressed within 10 seconds, the BIND LED on the receiver
will automatically time out and stop flashing. If this occurs, you simply need to repeat steps 3 and 4
Range check the radio
The controller has a Range Check Mode function. Which lowers the transmitter’s output level to check
radio signal reception. Use this function to check radio signal reception on the ground, prior to flight. To
check reception, put the controller in Range Check Mode, walk about 30 paces away from the aircraft,
and check to make sure the servo moves without problem.
How to transmit to range check mode and check range
1. Drop the throttle sticks of the transmitter to the end of the low side.
2. While pressing the transmitter’s BIND key. Turn the transmitter power ON.
*If you hear a warning signal, correct the positions of the throttle sticks and Flight Mode switches and
repeat the, the setting procedure starting with Step1.
3. The transmitters BIND LED will blink steadily. Continue holding the BIND button in for approximately
5 seconds until the LED goes out and then let go of the BIND button. IF the LED then resumed a
steady blinking. The transition to Range Check Mode was successful.
4. Immediately turn the receiver ON, walk about 30 paces from the aircraft(approximately 90 feet)and,
with help from another person, check to make sure the servos move without problem
If there is a problem with servos movement, try moving while maintaining the same distance from the
aircraft, and check again to make sure the servos movement, without problem.
If there is still a problem with servos movement, check to make sure there are no problems with
servos connector connections and so on. Do not fly the aircraft until you have solved the problem.
*Range Check Mode automatically turns off in about 3 minutes, and the system changes to Normal
Mode.
Be sure to check servos movement while checking that the transmitter’s LED is blinking. If the LED
has changed to constantly lit status while checking servos movement, turn the transmitter power
OFF. Repeat the process from step 1, then go into Range Check Mode.
*In this case. It is not necessary to turn the receiver OFF.
*Caution! Do not fly the aircraft while in Range Check Mode. You will be unable to control the
aircraft once it has flown a certain distance.

Transmitter operation and Movement of Each Servo
Before making any adjustments, learn the operation of the transmitter and the movement of each
servo.(In the following descriptions, the transmitter is assumed to be in the standby state.)
ELEVATOR OPERATION
When the elevator stick is pulled back, the tail elevator is
raised and the tail of the plane is forced down, the air flow
applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is
increased, the lifting force increased, and the plane climbs
(UP operation). When the elevator stick is pushed forward,
the elevator is lowered, the tail of the plane is forced up,
the lifting force is decreased, and the plane dives
(DOWN operation).
