User Manual

Simulator Use

We recommend using your DXe transmitter with the Phoenix R/C Pro Flight

Simulator 5.5 (RTM5500). The simulator software includes the original

Apprentice and other trainer aircraft. Use the transmitter with the simulator

to practice and experiment with your aircraft without damaging your model.

Instruction

To the new pilot:

This aircraft is easy to ﬂ y and helps you apply beginner skills to ﬂ ying;

however, we recommend you get help from a qualiﬁ ed ﬂ ight instructor for

your ﬁ rst radio controlled ﬂ ights. Some model ﬂ ying clubs provide ﬂ ight

training at their ﬂ ying ﬁ elds. Find a nearby ﬂ ying club through your local

hobby shop. In the U.S., visit the Academy of Model Aeronautics at www.

modelaircraft.org. for more information on clubs and ﬂ ight instruction.

To the ﬂ ight instructor:

Feel free to experiment with the SAFE technology before instructing your

student on this aircraft. The progressive switch positions in the SAFE

technology are intended for a new pilot to learn with minimal instructor

assistance. We recommend using Channel 5 Switch Position 1 to instruct a

new pilot. Switch positions 0 and 2 may stabilize the aircraft more or less

than you desire for instruction purposes.

DXe Trainer Feature

Your DXe transmitter may be connected to another transmitter through the

trainer ports using a trainer cord (SPM6805, sold separately).

The DXe transmitter is ideal* as the master as it is compatible with all JR

or Spektrum transmitters when using this feature. Servo reversing and trims

must be the same on both transmitters.

This “buddy box” approach has helped many new pilots get the feel for

aircraft control with the close assistance of a ﬂ ight instructor. Connecting

two transmitters enables your ﬂ ight instructor to hold the master transmitter

while you hold the slave transmitter. While you learn to ﬂ y, the instructor

holds the trainer switch to give you control of the aircraft. If you need help,

the ﬂ ight instructor can release the switch to take control.

IMPORTANT: If a transmitter other than the included DXe is used for master or

slave, refer to Optional Transmitter Setup in this manual.
