CHS (ATLEZ) :Nornal C] O 1 Touch the box to the right of the channel name to toggle reverse for that channel. If there is a tick in the box it means that the channel is reversed. 7.2 End Points This function changes the max range of movement for each channel. Every model is different, as such many have different requirements when it comes to how far a control surface should move,if a control surface moves too far it may damage the model. The End points function limits the range of movement for each channel to prevent this. Note: If the channels center point is not in the right position it will be impossible to set the outer limits of the channel movement properly. If this is an issue use the Subtrim function to move the center point first. Function Settings: This function adjusts the maximum range of movement for the channels up and down sides independently by Bakc s uxm between 0 and 120%. on (ATLE) [Up side]: range of movement above the channel center point. cit2 (BLEY) [Down side]: range of movement below the channel ut sU CH3 Domn side center point.
