NOTE: Turning all adjusters clockwise will give 100%

maximum servo movement.

PLUG-IN CRYSTALS:

Your VG400/VG600 FM transmitter and receiver

feature plug-in crystals for ease of manufacture. The

owner should not change the FM crystals because

realignment of the transmitter and receiver FM

deviation is required following a crystal change. Failure

to do this could cause the transmitter signal to be

outside of the receivers pass band. This could cause loss

of control and a subsequent crash of your model. Do not

change crystals! If a change of operating channel is

desired, return the VG400/VG600 transmitter and

receiver to Airtronics for the desired channel change.

Channel changes are not covered under warranty and a

service charge will apply.

CONTROL STICK LENGTH AND TENSION

ADJUSTMENT:

The length and spring tension of the control sticks can

both be adjusted as required by the individual flyer.

Both procedures are simple.

For stick spring tension, turning the adjustment screw

clockwise will incre ases stick tension. Turning the

adjustment screw counter clockwise will decreases or

soften stick tension. See picture below for adjustment

locations.

Adjusting the control stick length is even easier. To do

so, hold Part B with the fingers and unscrew Part A

counter clockwise to loosen the two pieces. Now screw

Part A in or out to the desired position and lock it in

place by screwing Part B against it. It is recommended

that at least four threads be left inside Part A at its

longest length for best results.

MASTER/TRAINER SYSTEM:

The VG400/VG600 FM transmitters have a

Master/Trainer (M/T) capability. This allows you to

connect another transmitter by use of the Airtronics

Training System Cable Part 97100. The expert -level

flyer modeler can therefore assist the beginner in

learning how to fly. See the list below for compatible

transmitters.

To use the Master/Trainer capability, plug the trainer

system cable into both transmitters. The transmitter that

is designated as the Master must match the receiver in

use. For the following instructions, the Master

transmitter is designated as #1 and the student

transmitter will be referred to as #2.

Turn on #1 transmitter and the model receiver switch.

Note the position of the control surfaces on the aircraft.

The #2 transmitter switch must be in the "OFF"

position, since its encoder receives its power from the

#1 transmitter. Push and hold the trainer button #14 on

#1 transmitter. #2 Transmitter now has control of the

model. Move the control sticks in the proper direction.

You can now check the neutrals of #2 transmitter to

insure they correspond to master #1 transmitter. By

turning "On and Off" the trainer button, you can see if

the #2 transmitter trims need to be adjusted. Adjust the

trims on #2 transmitter only, moving the trims on #1

transmitter will cause the aircraft to be off trim. This

procedure is done after the aircraft has made it first trim

flights.

CAUTION: REMEMBER THAT #2 TRANSMITTER

POWER SWITCH MUST BE KEPTED IN THE OFF

POSITION.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ONLY AN EXERIENCED

PILOT HELP WITH THE TRAINING OF THE

STUDENT ON #2 TRANSMITTER.
