[. . . ] By moving the elevator stick up and down, you will see the LCD arrow change according to the direction you are moving the stick. To set the UP EPA, move the stick back past the neutral position and release the stick. You can increase or decrease the amount by using the (INC+) or (DEC-) function keys. Note that you can move across the menu using the (CH+) or (CH-) keys to adjust EPA for all other channels. To adjust the EPA on Gear and Flap channels simply move the toggle switch up or down and adjust the EPA accordingly. 35 G (Landing Gear End Points) In most cases, (almost all cases in the past) the total servo throw for the landing gear function could not be set by the transmitter, because most retract servos are SWITCHED (non-proportional) servos. With these servos, mechanical adjustment is the only method available to ensure proper operation of the retracts. Airtronics now offers a high Torque PROPORTIONAL retract servo, p/n 94739. With this servo and the RD6000 Super transmitters, End Point Adjustments for the retract servo are possible, independently setting the "Down" and "UP" lock positions in mechanical retracts, and precise adjustment of the air valve in pneumatic retracts. To use this function, select the EPA function as shown on the previous screen. Press the (CH +) key to scroll across the Channel indicator on the screen until you reach G (Landing Gear). Note that you must set the value for UP and Down landing gear by use of the INC +/YES and DEC -/NO keys. Activate the Landing Gear toggle switch located on the upper left top of the transmitter when setting the values for the Landing Gear. The default values for Landing Gear are ­125% and +125%. To restore the landing gear channel to the default values, press the INC and DEC keys simultaneously. Press the END key to return to the STW screen. 36 TRM (TRIM MEMORY) The RD6000 Super offers the Trim Memory Function on all four of the flight control channels. Trim Memory for Elevator, Aileron, Throttle, and Rudder is input by the Digital Trim keys set when you use the INC +/YES or DEC -/NO keys to input trim. Any trim that you set while your model is in flight by use of the Digital Trim keys will automatically be stored in memory for that specific channel and model. The Trim value in % that you set during flight is shown on the TRM screen for each Channel. In addition, there are bar graph indicators on the screen at all times that visually show how much trim has been set for Elevator, Aileron, Throttle and Rudder channels. 37 FLAPE (FLAPERONS) The Flaperon function can be used to just obtain two separate aileron channels with a servo in each wing. It can also be used so that the strip ailerons act as flaps and deploy in a downward direction to create both lift and drag. In the following example, the ailerons will be programmed to act as flaps that are controlled by the Flap/FL-EL switch. Press the (CH ­) or the (CH+) key to select "etc" on the CHannel indicator. 1 etc Next, press the FUNCTION down key several times to see the following screen. Now, press the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to set the FLAPE function to ACTive. The aileron stick will now operate two servos on receiver channels #2 and #6. Press the END key to return to the STW screen at the top of the menu. 38 Press the (CH ­) key to select p-f on the CHannel indicator. 1 etc Use the FUNCTION down key to scroll down to FLAP EPA (endpoint adjust). Note that the default setting is ­100%. [. . . ] With a black marker pin put a dot on the plastic base of the switch to indecate the rear of the switch. This will help to not mistakenly flip the switch over. Remove both switches by sliding them down into the transmitter case and switch locations. Reinstall both switch (crome) nuts and secure in place. [. . . ]
