Channels Configuration

The Typhoon model features five channels for advanced control functions. In the Channel Configuration menu you can adjust parameters for each channel:

• CH1: Throttle (trigger)

• CH2: Two-position switch (recommended for landing gear)

• CH3: Three-position switch (recommended for flaps)

• CH4: Two-position latch button with integrated LED

• CH5: Two-position latch button with integrated LED

For every channel you can configure:

• Failsafe: Output position if signal is lost

• Expo: Exponential curve for finer low-end response (only for throttle)

• Reverse: Invert servo direction

• Endpoints: Minimum and maximum travel limits

• Speed: Time for the servo to move between positions when a switch is activated (Does not apply to throttle)

All adjustments are saved per model, ensuring each channel behaves exactly as configured on every flight.

Failsafe Setup

The Failsafe function defines a safe preset for your model if signal transmission is lost. This is crucial because an unexpected loss of control can cause accidents or damage if the model doesn’t know how to react. For example, if the landing gear retracts during normal flight, setting Failsafe to extend it will ensure a safe landing in case of link failure.

Why it’s important

• Prevents the model from continuing uncontrolled in flight

• Places controls (e.g., landing gear and throttle) into safe positions

• Protects both your aircraft and bystanders in emergencies

How to set Failsafe

In the Model Setup menu, select Channels, then Failsafe using ↑ and ↓ (it will display NOT SET if not yet configured).

Position all controls—including the throttle trigger and each switch—to the desired failsafe positions and press the cursor click to record these positions.

When the confirmation dialog appears use ← and → to choose No (cancel) or Yes (apply).

After confirmation the status will update to ACTIVATED, indicating Failsafe has been saved successfully.

Expo Configuration

The Expo function applies exclusively to the throttle channel, shaping the trigger’s response curve. As you move the trigger from idle (fully released) to maximum pull, Expo adjusts sensitivity at each end of travel.

A positive Expo softens throttle response around idle—giving finer low-end control—and makes it sharper near full throttle. A negative Expo does the opposite, increasing sensitivity at low throttle and softening it at the top end. When set to 0, throttle response is purely linear.

To setup Expo setting go into the Model Setup menu, select Channels, then Expo using ↑ and ↓. Then select CH1 option using ↑ and ↓.

Use ↑ and ↓ again to increase or decrease the Expo value.

Once the value is set, press the cursor click to save it.

Reverse Settings

The Reverse function inverts the servo’s direction relative to control movement. When enabled, moving the control in one direction will drive the servo in the opposite direction. This is useful when a servo (e.g., throttle) responds opposite to your input.

Reverse the throttle channel does not invert motor rotation. Instead, it makes the idle position (trigger released) register as full throttle (100%), which can cause the motor to spin up unexpectedly and pose a serious safety hazard. Do not enable Reverse on the throttle channel for electric setups.

To setup Reverse setting go into the Model Setup menu, select Channels, then Reverse using ↑ and ↓.

Next, navigate to the channel you wish to invert using ↑ and ↓. Once highlighted, press the cursor click to select it.

Use ↑ and ↓ to toggle the Reverse setting between ON and OFF. Once the value is set, press the cursor click to save it.

Endpoints Configuration

Endpoints let you digitally define each servo’s travel limits for every channel, supplementing any mechanical adjustments. By setting minimum and maximum endpoints, you ensure the servo never exceeds its safe range—preventing binding and fine-tuning control throw.

• Channels 1, 2, 4 & 5 (two-position controls) each have:

  • Min Endpoint: the lowest travel point

  • Max Endpoint: the highest travel point

• Channel 3 (three-position switch) also includes:

  • Center Endpoint: the middle travel point

Adjusting endpoints per model guarantees consistent, precise movements every flight.

The Speed Settings are deactivated during the Endpoints adjustment in order to speed up the process.

To prevent binding, disconnect the pushrods before setting endpoints; once you’ve selected the desired values, reconnect the pushrods and make any fine-tune adjustments if required.

To setup Endpoints setting go into the Model Setup menu, select Channels, then Endpoints using ↑ and ↓.

Next, navigate to the channel you wish to adjust using ↑ and ↓. Once highlighted, press the cursor click to select it.

To select the endpoint you want to adjust use the use ← and → to choose between minimum, central or maximum as appropriate.

Use ↑ and ↓ to increase or derease the endpoint value.

Then press the cursor click to save the values of the channel endpoints.

If you are setting the minimum value and see no change in the servo, then set the maximum value or change the position switch. When Reverse is enabled, the minimum and maximum endpoint values are automatically swapped.

Speed Settings

This setting defines how long (0–15 seconds) it takes for the servo to move from one position to the next when a switch is activated. It applies to all channels except the throttle. A low value yields quick, direct movements, while values near 15 seconds produce a smooth, gradual transition. It’s perfect for adding realism to scale models—such as extending retractable landing gear or deploying flaps without abruptly affecting flight stability.

To setup Speed setting go into the Model Setup menu, select Channels, then Speed using ↑ and ↓.

Next, navigate to the channel you wish to adjust using ↑ and ↓. Once highlighted, press the cursor click to select it.

Use ↑ and ↓ to increase or derease the duration of the movement value.

Then press the cursor click to save the new values.
