The transmitter's help pages
Every page on the Version 2 transmitter has a Help button. Here are its texts, in their newest words, to read on a phone or a computer.
Note
These texts are written for the transmitter update after V2 B92. On V2 B92 or older, your transmitter's Help shows older words, and a few buttons have older names.
Once that update is out, press Transmitter → Transmitter updates. It brings these words to your transmitter. How updates work.
The front screen
What you see while you fly. Every other page starts here.
Transmitter setup
Settings for the transmitter itself: the same for every model. On the front screen, press Transmitter.

- ReverseModel setup › ReverseIf a channel moves the wrong way, tick its box to reverse it.
- SubtrimModel setup › SubtrimSubtrim sets the exact centre of each servo for this model.
- TrimsModel setup › TrimsThe four trims, on screen.
- RatesModel setup › RatesRates make chosen channels move less (or more) for the same stick movement.
- MixesModel setup › MixesA mix makes one channel (the slave) follow another (the master): rudder that follows the ailerons, say.
- MacrosModel setup › MacrosA macro moves one channel to a set position for a set time, when a trigger channel (usually a switch) reaches the top of its travel.
- Servo speedModel setup › Servo speedSlow a servo down, for flaps, airbrakes or undercarriage.
- FailsafeModel setup › FailsafeChoose where the controls go if the receiver loses the signal.
- Bank namesModel setup › Bank namesGive each of this model's four banks (flight modes) a name for what it does.
- TelemetryModel setup › TelemetryHow well the radio link is working, and what the model reports.
- Reconnection times (Gaps)Model setup › Telemetry › GapsHow long the radio link took to come back each time it was lost, sorted by length: a quick way to judge the link.
- GPSModel setup › Telemetry › GPSWhere the model is, how fast and how high.
- LogModel setup › LogRead the transmitter's log: what happened each day it was used.
- Log filesModel setup › Log › FilesSee and delete the transmitter's log files.
Rotorflight
Set up and tune a Rotorflight helicopter from the transmitter, with no laptop. It needs a Version 2 receiver. Model setup, then Rotorflight.
- Rotorflight optionsModel setup › RotorflightView and change the setup of a flight controller that runs Rotorflight (2.2 or later), at the field, with no laptop.
- PIDsModel setup › Rotorflight › PIDsThe flight controller's PID gains for Roll, Pitch and Yaw, for the bank shown at the top left.
- PIDs: advanced (PID +)Model setup › Rotorflight › PIDs › AdvancedThe rest of the flight controller's PID settings, for the bank shown at the top left (the Profiles tab of the Configurator).
- Rotorflight ratesModel setup › Rotorflight › RatesHow fast the sticks turn the helicopter, and how much blade pitch the collective gives, for the rate shown at the top left.
- Rates: advanced (Rates +)Model setup › Rotorflight › Rates › AdvancedHow the model follows the stick, for the rate shown at the top left.
- GovernorModel setup › Rotorflight › GovernorThe governor values Rotorflight keeps for each bank: the head speed, and how the governor holds it.
- Governor: settings for every bankModel setup › Rotorflight › Governor › GlobalThe governor settings shared by every bank: its mode, the throttle and the times.
- RescueModel setup › Rotorflight › RescueWhat Rotorflight does when you flick the rescue switch: it takes over, levels the model and climbs.
- Rescue: climb and holdModel setup › Rotorflight › Rescue › NextWhat rescue does once the model is level: climb, or climb and hold a height.
- ServosModel setup › Rotorflight › ServosRotorflight's settings for each servo, one servo at a time, as the configurator's Servos tab has them.
- MixerModel setup › Rotorflight › MixerHow the sticks reach the swash and the tail, laid out as the configurator's Mixer tab, with its names.
- Mixer: swash travel and calibrationModel setup › Rotorflight › Mixer › NextHow far the swash may move, and its calibration: the configurator's Main rotor geometry section.
- Mixer: tail rotorModel setup › Rotorflight › Mixer › Next › NextHow the yaw stick reaches the tail: the configurator's Tail rotor settings section.
- Gyro filtersModel setup › Rotorflight › FiltersHow Rotorflight cleans vibration out of the gyro signal, laid out as the configurator's Gyro tab, with its names.

Kept for reference
These texts are on the transmitter's card, but no page on the Version 2 screen opens them.
