Page 13: Pre-Use Check
FS-l6 Digital Proportional Radio Control System 4.3 Pre-use Check Before operation, perform the following steps to check the system: Check to make sure that all servos and motors are working as expected. Check operating distance: one operator holds the transmitter, and another one moves the model away from the transmitter. -
Page 14: Power Off
When switching between modes one and two it is nessesary to reverse the gimbals positions to ensure that throttle is on the correct side. To switch the sticks: Take the battery out from the transmitter, Loosen the four screws that hold the rear cover shown in green on left . -
Page 15: Function Descriptions
FS-l6 Digital Proportional Radio Control System 5. Function Descriptions 5.1 Flight Controls (Default Mode 2) The sticks are used for controlling the aircraft, each stick has 2 functions. The right stick controls pitch and roll, the left stick controls throttle and yaw. Pitch (Right Stick Up/Down) DOWN Roll (Right Stick Left/Right) -
Page 16: Reverse Function
Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down) THROTTLE UP THROTTLE DOWN 5.2 Reverse Function The reverse function changes a channels direction of movement in relation to its input. For example, if a servo has to be mounted upside down due to space restrictions within a model, this function can be used to correct its movement so that it matches up with the user controls. -
Page 17: Display
FS-l6 Digital Proportional Radio Control System 5.4 Display This function displays the model's channel output in real time. • Make sure the model engine is powered off while the test function is activated. Warning If powered on, it will rev up and cause unexpected results. -
Page 18: Throttle Curve
rudder will move 2.5cm, so at 100% there is a direct, linear relationship of stick movement and surface movement. If a setting of 50% is entered then moving the stick all the way in one direction will only give 1/2 of the surface movement and 1/2 stick movement will only produce 1/4 surface movement, this has the effect of reducing how responsive the rudder is when the stick is moved, effectively reducing the range of movement available to the servo. -
Page 19: Elevon
FS-l6 Digital Proportional Radio Control System Set the positive and negative mix, this setting controls how much the slave channel will move in relation to the masters movement, if set to 50% the slave will move half the amount of the master. Set the offset, the offset changes the center of the slave channel in relation to the master. -
Page 20: Throttle Hold
5.13 Throttle Hold This function is used with gas powered models in order to stop stalls when not in use. Setup: 1. Use the "OK" key to change between settings. 2. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" keys to turn the function on or off and increase and decrease the hold percentage. -

Page 28: System Customization
9. System Customization The FS-i6X's switches and knobs can be moved to other channels. Or if using receivers with more channels, the system can be expanded with extra switches or knobs. By default, from left to right, the switches and knobs are channels 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. - Page 29 FS-l6 Digital Proportional Radio Control System • Make sure that the wires are Note fitted along beside each of the gimbals as show right. • Make sure that all switches Note are installed with the correct orientation shown right. On the circuit board each channel is labled, making it easy to find the correct channel. Follow the cables leading from each connector to identify which switch or knob goes to each channel.
