Safely
1. Safely Symbols
Pay close attention to the following symbols and their meaning. Failure to follow these warning
could cause damage, injury or death.
DANGER – Not following these instructions may expose the user to serious injuries or death
WARNING – Not following these instructions may expose the user to serious injuries
ATTENTION – Not following these instructions may expose the user to minor injuries and
even to serious injuries
Do not use at night or during a lightening storm, as bad weather will adversely affect the
control of your system
Make sure that the motors are all moving the same direction as the operating direction
The shutdown sequence: 1. Disconnect the receiver battery 2. Switch off the transmitter.
Failure following this sequence may result in uncontrolled movement and damage to the
system.
Do not use the product when visibility is limited
Interference may cause loss of control. To ensure the safely, do not operate in the followingplaces:
Near any site where other radio control activities may occur
Near high power lines or communication broadcasting antennas
Near any site where overcrowded and traffic congestion
On water or on boats and ships
Do not use this product when you are tired, uncomfortable or under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades signal quality
and strength and may cause loss of control

Installation and removal of the transmitter battery
The T6i transmitter is designed to work with four x (LR6) AA alkaline dry cell batteries
Binding procedure
1. Install a bind plug into BIND connector. In case if you want to disable telemetry function on the
receiver, install second bind plug into THRO connector.
2. Apply power to the receiver. It can be from 3.7 to 9.6 volts DC. Please refer to indicator on the
receiver for the correct pinout (GND, VCC, SIGNAL)
3. You will see the orange LED rapidly blinking. That means the receiver is in Bind mode.
4. Press and hold the binding key and turn on the transmitter. (Or, turn on the transmitter, press
and hold the wheel to enter the main menu to select model setup, then choose the bind menu to
enter binding mode)

Servo setup
Servo Setup adjusts the Servo Reverse, End point, Sub-Trim for all six channels.
Press and hold the Roller button to main menu and select “Servo Setup”
Press the Roller button to select “Reverse”, “End point” and “Subtrim”
Reverse
The Reverse function is used to correct a servo or motor’s direction in relation to the systems
controls. For each channel the user can toggle a reverse state based on demand.
This Reverse function individually reverses the direction of operation of servos on the 6 channels.
This menu contains 6 check boxes, one of each channel.
Setup:
1. Press the Roller button to select channel
2. Move the Roller button to left or right to select “Nor” (Normal) and “Rev” (Reverse)
3. Press and hold the Roller button to save and exit
4. OR press the cancel key to exit without saving

5. The system will display “RX Binding..”. After successfully binding, the transmitter will automati
cally exit this binding menu.
6. Remove the bind plug(s) from the BIND on the receiver
NOTICE:
Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is
turned on.
Sometimes servo inputs or ESC-s with high input load can cause receiver binding in “No teleme-
try” mode. During this binding you will see both orange and red LED blinking. If you want to have
telemetry function enabled please make sure that nothing is connected to Throttle channel during
binding procedure.
Setup:
1. Press the Roller button to select channel
2. The right-side value represents high limit / The left-side value represents low limit. Move the
stick to the desired low or high value.
3. Move the Roller button left or right to change the value.
4. Press and hold the wheel to save an exit
5. Or press the cancel key to exit without saving.
Setup:
1. Press the Roller button to select channel.
2. Move the Roller button left or right to change the subtrim’s value.
3. Press and hold the wheel to save an exit
4. Or press the cancel key to exit without saving.

End points
End points controls the low and high travel limits for each servo. For each channel the user can set
the low and high limits. This ensures that the channel date for the servo is consistent with structur-
al design and performance requirements to ensure the best results. Adjustment can be made for
any channel.
Subtrim
Subtrim controls the structure and angle different of each channel on the servo. It individually
adjusts the center position of each servo of the 6 channels. This is particularly useful when the
servo mechanics can’t allow very fine tuning.

Dual rate/exp.
This function is use to add a curve to the channels input. This means that the ratio of stick to
channel movement can be changed in order to add or remove sensitivity at different parts of the
sticks range of motion. It can available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. This function
sets the rate and exp. for channels 1, 2 & 4 and the switches from Sw 1 to 8, Disable and ON
Rate – Adjust the slope of the curve. The smaller is the slope, the shorter is the throw of the corre-
sponding servo
Exp – Adjust the linearity curve of the sticks and knobs. A value of 0 corresponds to a perfectly
linear curve. A positive value increases the sensitivity near the neutral position and decreases it on
the extreme sides.
Throttle curve
This function enables the user to adjust the ratio between stick and servo movement using linear
or nonlinear curves.
This is useful to change how the throttle reacts at different stick positions. The 5 points (L, 1, 2, 3,
H) of throttle curve can be adjusted from 0% to 100%. The horizontal dotted line displays in real
time the throttle stick position. The vertical dotted line displays in real time the position of the
throttle output after the throttle curve function has been applied. For example, having a smaller
throttle change when the stick is between 0-30%, then a larger throttle change between 30% and
100%. If your models throttle is not linear, it is possible to use this function to create a more linear
movement.
Setup:
1. In main Menu, Press the Roller button to select “Dual rate/exp”
2. Press the Roller button to select Channel / Switch / Rate / Exp
3. Move the Roller button left or right to select value
4. Press and hold the wheel to save an exit
5. Or press the cancel key to exit without saving.
