Special note on J-Line transmitter charge polarity:
7. CHARGING YOUR QUATTRO TRANSMITTER WITH OPTIONAL NI-CD BATTERIES
Your Quattro transmitter can easily be upgraded
with a Ni-Cd Conversion Kit like the Dynamite
®
DYN1900. This Ni-Cd Conversion Set includes a
charger with the correct polarity for use with JR
and J-Line brand systems. If a charger other than
the Dynamite or JR is use, please pay close
attention to the charge polarity information
included in this section.
The center pin of the charge receptacle on all
J-Line brand radio systems is negative polarity. Your
J-Line radio system’s charge polarity is reversed
from many other manufacturers chargers. Beware
of improper polarity connections based on
“color code” wire leads as they do not apply in
this instance.
You must always be certain that the center pin on
any charger used with this system is wired for
negative polarity, otherwise damage will occur to
the charge circuit of the Quattro. The J-Line
warranty does not cover any system that is
damaged by reverse polarity charging.

SERVO CONNECTION
Unlike other JR receivers, the brown (negative) wire
on the servo leads should face upwards towards the
R610M’s top label. If the servo leads are installed
in the opposite (standard) direction, the servos will
not function. Since the R610M is designed with
center pin positive polarity, no damage will occur
from improper connection of JR servos.
ACCESSING THE 6TH CHANNEL
When using a separate battery power source
(mainly with glow-powered models), it will be
necessary to use an optional Y-Harness (JRPA133)
so that the battery and the 6th channel servo can
access the battery/Aux 1 port simultaneously.
When using the R610M in an electric-powered
model with an electronic speed controller, the
R610M will receive power through the throttle
channel connection, leaving the 6th channel
directly accessible.
Note: On electric powered
models that use an electronic
speed controller (ESC), the
ESC is connected to this
channel. The receiver and
servos will be powered by the
ESC through this channel.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the servo arm retaining screws from each of the 241 servos as shown
in Figure 1. Next, install 2 servo grommets and 2 servo eyelets to each 241 servo as shown in Figure 2.
SYSTEM CHECK
Slide the power ON/OFF switch on your Quattro
Transmitter to the “ON” position.
Next, slide the ON/OFF switch on your flight pack
switch to the ON position.
By moving each of the two transmitter sticks in a
fore-aft, left-right motion, the corresponding
throttle, rudder, elevator, and aileron (optional)
servo arm/wheel will rotate. Please refer to the
transmitter stick function chart below.
With the system still activated (ON), move the
throttle stick to the neutral (center) position.
Double-check to be sure that the four transmitter
trim levers are still in their neutral position.
Next, with the power still activated to the
transmitter and flight pack, remove the servo
arm/horn from each of the 241 servos. Then,
turn the power OFF to the flight pack first, then the
transmitter. By doing this, the 241 servos will be left
in their neutral position, and they are now ready to
be installed into your model.
NOTE: Save the servo arms/horns; they will be
reattached to the servos after installation.

QUATTRO LITE MANUAL
INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
Flight pack installation varies greatly from one
model to another. For your convenience, we have
included the photograph below outlining a typical
flight pack installation in a standard 3-channel
slow flyer and park flyer type model airplane.
Please read and follow these suggestions.
1. For added protection, wrap the receiver in foam
rubber that is at least 1/4" thick.
2. Run the receiver antenna through the fuselage
and make sure it is fully extended. Never cut or
bundle your receiver antenna — this will
decrease range and performance.
3. Rubber servo grommets are included with your
radio system and should be installed in the
servo flanges. The servos should then be
mounted on either hardwood rails or a plywood
tray with the mounting screws provided. Do not
overtighten the mounting screws. The flange of
the brass eyelets should face down (toward the
wood). See Section 8.3.
4. With the servo at neutral, install the required
servo arm/horn exactly 90° to the servo
case as shown in the diagram below.
5. Before installing the servo output arms, make
sure the servo is in its neutral position.
6. All servos must be able to move freely over the
full range of their travel. Make sure the linkages
do not impede servo travel. A stalled servo will
drain the battery pack within a few minutes.
7. In the case of gas-powered model aircraft,
mount the receiver power switch on the side
of the fuselage opposite the muffler to protect
the switch from exhaust residue. With other
types of models, mount the switch in the most
convenient place. Make sure the switch operates
freely and is capable of traveling its full distance.

SERVO REVERSING
After radio installation, it is imperative that
the proper servo/control system direction be
established. Servo reversing allows you to alter
the direction of the servo/control surface movement
to match the direction of the transmitter stick.
Please refer to the chart in the following section
below to determine the proper control surface direction.
SETTING REVERSING SWITCHES
1. Connect all control linkages and check to see
that all servos move freely.
2. While standing directly behind the airplane, go
through the steps shown in the charts below to
check proper direction of the control surface.
3. Using the servo reversing switches located
behind the transmitter battery case, adjust the
direction of each servo for proper operation.

QUATTRO LITE MANUAL
The final step in your flight pack installation will be
to determine the amount each control surface will
move on your model at full transmitter stick
deflection. Please refer to your aircraft’s instruction
manual for suggested travel limits.
It is possible to increase/decrease the amount that
your control surface moves at full stick deflection
by mechanical adjustments.
It is imperative that the servo does not attempt to
push/pull the control surface past its mechanical
limits. This condition is called “binding.” When a
servo moves a control surface into a “binding”
position, the servo itself then becomes “stalled,”
unable to reach its full deflection. This condition is
both harmful to your control linkage and to your
servo. This “stalled” condition will also force the
servo to drain power more quickly from your flight
pack battery, thereby reducing your usable flying
time. Fortunately, servo “stalling” is usually easy to
detect by either a “buzzing” or “humming” sound
which comes from the stalled servo.
The following diagram is designed to help clarify
how to increase or decrease control surface travel
mechanically to eliminate control surface “binding”
and servo “stalling.”
To increase control surface travel, select a linkage
attachment point further outward on the servo arm
or further inward on the control horn closer to the
control surface (Figure 2).
To reduce control surface travel, select the linkage
attachment point close to the center of the servo
area or further out on the control horn on the
control surface (Figure 3).
By moving the control rod in on the servo
arm/wheel, control surface travel will be reduced,
and by moving the control rod out on the servo
arm, the control surface travel will be increased.
The opposite holds true for the control surface arm
(horn) as well. You may also use any combination
of these positions to achieve proper control
surface/servo travel.
NOTE: Once the appropriate servo arm/wheel and
control rod location has been established, secure
the servo arm to the servo output shaft using the
original servo horn screw.

10. PREFLIGHT INFORMATION
QUATTRO TRAINER FUNCTION
The Quattro features a built-in trainer function. The
transmitter can be used as either a master (trainer)
or as a slave (trainee). The Quattro is compatible
with all other current PPM selectable (FM) J-Line or
JR radios that have built-in trainer systems. An
optional Trainer Cord is needed (JRPA130).
OPERATING THE TRAINER FUNCTION
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
with the master radio.
5. Push the trainer button on the master
transmitter and check all the control functions
with the slave radio.
Special Note to Beginners: We strongly suggest
that you seek the help of an experienced model
airplane pilot prior to flying your new model.
RANGE TESTING YOUR MODEL
We suggest that before the initial flight of your
model, you first perform a ground range test to
ensure that the transmitting/receiving abilities of
your Quattro perform properly. Conduct the range
test as follows:
Do not extend the transmitter antenna at this time.
Turn your Quattro transmitter ON. Next, turn the
model switch ON. Slowly walk away from the model
while moving the control surfaces. The system
should function properly to a distance of
approximately 60-65 feet.
Electric Users: Due to the variation in RF interference levels in electric applications, it is highly
recommended that an engine on range test be
performed prior to the first flight of the model.
NOTE: If your test falls short of the described
range, confirm that your batteries are fully charged.
If this situation remains unchanged, please contact
the Horizon Service Center (address and phone
number at the back of this manual) before
attempting to fly your model.

11. GENERAL NOTES
12. DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS
Radio controlled models are a great source of
pleasure. Unfortunately, they can also pose a
potential hazard if not maintained and operated
properly. It is imperative that you install your radio
control system correctly. Additionally, your level of
piloting competency must be high enough to
ensure that you are able to control your aircraft
under all conditions. If you are a newcomer to radio
controlled flying, please seek help from an
experience pilot or your local hobby shop.
Safety Do’s and Don’ts
• Ensure that your batteries have been properly
charged prior to initial flight.
• Keep track of the time that the system is turned
on so that you will have an idea of how long you
can safely operate your system.
• Perform a ground range check prior to the initial
flight of the day. See the “Daily Flight Checks”
section 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, parking
areas, or at any other area that could result in
injury to people or damage of property.
• Do not fly during adverse weather conditions.
Poor visibility can cause disorientation and loss
of control of your aircraft. Strong winds can
cause similar problems.
• Do not fly unless your frequency is clear.
Warning: Only one transmitter at a time can
operate on a given frequency. If you turn on your
transmitter while someone else is operating a
model on your frequency, both pilots will lose
control of their models. Only one person can
use a given frequency at a time. It does not
matter if it is AM, FM, or PCM — only one
frequency at a time.
• Do not point the transmitter antenna directly
toward the model. The radiation pattern from
the tip of the antenna is inherently low.
• Do not take chances. If at any time during flight
you observe any erratic or abnormal operation,
land immediately, and do not resume flight
until the cause of the problem has been
ascertained and corrected.
1. Check the battery voltage on both the
transmitter and the receiver battery packs. Don’t
fly the solid orange LED on the transmitter or
below 4.7 volts on the receiver (If a separate
receiver pack is used). To do so can
cause a crash of your aircraft.
NOTE: When you check the receiver battery, be
sure that you have polarities correct on your
expanded scale voltmeter (optional).
2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts,
bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Be sure that
binding does not occur and that everything is
properly secured.
3. Ensure that all surfaces are moving in the
proper manner.
4. Perform the following ground range check
before each day’s flying session:
• Do not extend the transmitter antenna at this
time. Turn the transmitter ON.
• Turn the model ON.
• Slowly walk away from the model while moving
the control surfaces. The aircraft should
function properly at a distance of 60-75 feet.
5. Electric Users: Due to the variation in RF
interference levels in electric applications,
it is highly recommended that an engine on
range test be performed prior to the first flight
of the model.
6. Ensure that all trim levers are in the proper
location.
7. Check to be sure that all servo pigtails and
switch harness plugs are secure in the receiver.
Also, make sure that the switch harness moves
completely in both directions.
