 BINDING
Binding is the process of linking the iX14+ to an aircraft receiver. The iX14+ is
compatible with genuine DSM2® and DSMX® Spektrum receiver products. The EU
version of the iX14+ does not support DSM2 receiver products.
Access the Bind menu from the Model Setup menu or access it directly by touching
the BIND button on the Dashboard screen.
Activate Telemetry Auto Config to
automatically configure telemetry after a
successful bind with a telemetry receiver.
See Auto-Configuring Telemetry At
Binding for more information.
Touch Alerts to configure any alerts
which occur during binding.
 SPEKTRUM FAILSAFE TYPES
Spektrum receivers use two types of failsafe modes, Smartsafe™ with hold last
command and Preset. These are set on the receiver during the binding process.
• SmartSafe™ failsafe mode keeps the receiver from powering the throttle
channel in the event an aircraft is powered on prior to the transmitter, thus
reducing the likelihood of an electric powered model accidentally powering on
when no transmitter signal is present. After connection, in the event of a hold, the
throttle channel will be moved to the position set during bind. This failsafe mode
will hold other control inputs at the last known command until the transmitter/
receiver link is re-established. If the throttle control has been mapped to another
channel in the transmitter setup, use the Preset failsafe mode.
• Preset failsafe mode returns all control commands to the binding presets.
It is important to know how and when to use each of the failsafe modes. Consult
the receiver manual for information.
TOC
 BINDING AND PROGRAMMING FAILSAFE
Failsafe is configured when the transmitter and receiver go through the binding
process. When binding an aircraft, always follow these steps to ensure the failsafe
operates as expected in the unlikely event of a loss of radio link:
1. Move the throttle to the low or off position.
2. Set all other controls to the desired failsafe position.
3. Follow the receiver instructions to power the receiver on in bind mode.
4. From the iX14+ transmitter Bind menu, touch and hold BIND until the
transmitter reports it is binding.
5. When the transmitter indicates binding was successful, power off the receiver,
according to the receiver instructions.
After the transmitter and receiver are bound, if the radio signal link is ever lost
between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver immediately moves the aircraft
control surfaces to the failsafe positions or holds position depending on the type of
failsafe set during bind. TOC
 TESTING FAILSAFE
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the ground. If the
failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Always remove propellers or disengage motors from drive systems when testing
failsafe on electric power systems.
NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver. Always consult the receiver
instruction manual for failsafe features. Before flight, ALWAYS confirm failsafe
functions as expected.
The aircraft must be configured and binding complete prior to testing the failsafe settings.
To test the function of the failsafe settings:
1. Power on the transmitter and receiver and confirm the controls function properly.
2. Power off the RF signal on the transmitter by double clicking the power button to
access the Sleep Mode screen.
3. Touch Advanced Options, switch off Spektrum RF and swipe the
SWIPE TO APPLY bar. The throttle and control surfaces should immediately
move to the expected failsafe positions or hold position depending on the failsafe
type set during bind. Throttle should always be set to return to low throttle.
4. Restore the RF signal by re-accessing the Sleep Mode menu as above,
switching the Spektrum RF to on, and SWIPE TO APPLY.

TOC
 DUAL RATES AND EXPO
Dual Rates and Exponentials are available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels.
Dual rates are commonly used to set up models for different flight performance.
Dual rates cannot increase surface travel. They only reduce travel. One rate setting
for a control surface normally allows for full travel. Other rate settings for that
surface reduce the travel available. For example, on an aerobatic model with large
control surfaces, high rates are used to deliver full control surface travel, which
is useful for extreme aerobatics. Low rates are used to reduce control travel, so
control response is reasonable for normal flight and landings.
Exponential affects control sensitivity around center but has no effect on overall
travel. Positive exponential decreases the sensitivity around the center of gimbal
movement. Use a small amount of positive expo to compensate for the rotation of the
servo horn, achieving a more linear surface movement. Adding more expo softens the
control response toward center stick, making smoother, more precise flight easier.
Program each control (rudder, elevator and aileron) individually.
To program dual rates and expo:
1. From the Model Adjust menu, touch
Dual Rates and Expo to open the
scrollable menu.
2. Touch the Channel button to select
the desired control to adjust.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the menu and
touch the Switch button to select
the desired switch. Select On for the
switch selection to define only one
rate and expo setting for the control
selected.
4. Touch the Dual Rates values to
access the value sliders.
5. Adjust the travel rates for each switch
position. Each rate number affects
one side of the servo travel from the
center. 100% results in full travel. A
50% rate results in 50% of full travel.
Touch the lock icon ( ) to adjust
both values together or separately.
6. Touch OK to save the values.
7. Adjust the expo value for each switch position. Touch the lock icon ( ) to adjust
both values together or separately. Adding positive expo makes the control less
sensitive around the center. Adding negative expo makes the control more sensitive
around the center.
8. Touch OK to save the values.
Enable adjusting the Dual Rate or Expo
values on the fly (OTF) by assigning a
trimmer switch to the positive (high) and
negative (low) functions:
1. Touch Inhibit.
2. Assign an available trim switch.
3. Assign a minimum and maximum val-
ue of the function. The default values
are 10 and 125%.

Once enabled, Hold appears as one of the flight mode options in the Throttle Curve
and Pitch Curve menus. The throttle hold flight mode has two main components,
the throttle curve and the pitch curve. Setting the Hold throttle curve at a constant
value (flat curve), establishes the idle or power off setting. The pitch curve is a
dedicated curve set up to allow for autorotations.
The throttle hold should be programmed
for zero throttle for electric helicopters, and
engine idle speed for fuel powered models.
Throttle hold serves three purposes for
heli pilots:
1. Model helicopters can be extremely
dangerous if the throttle is inadvertently
bumped. Throttle hold is used when
the helicopter is being prepared for flight. The general rule is never exit throttle hold
until the model is ready for flight and the pilot is at a safe distance.
2. Throttle Hold is used for intentional autorotations where the pilot can practice the
maneuver of landing the helicopter without power, using the potential energy of
the model.
3. Throttle Hold is a safeguard when things go wrong.
TIP: Always fly with a finger on the throttle hold switch and be prepared to
activate it at any moment in case of an out of control model or unexpected
obstacle in the flight path. Activating throttle hold immediately eliminates power to
the rotor blades. Always activate throttle hold prior to a crash to help limit damage
to the aircraft components.

 PRACTICAL THROTTLE CURVE EXAMPLE
The following is a step-by-step example of creating a throttle curve for a gas-
powered airplane. Use similar steps to set up any aircraft.
1. Start the engine.
2. Using a tachometer, find the RPM range. Subtract the idle RPM from the full
speed RPM to get the RPM range.
3. Divide the RPM range in half. Add the half RPM value to the idle RPM for the half
RPM speed.
4. Find the throttle value that delivers the half RPM speed.
5. Adjust the center point on the throttle curve to the half RPM value.
Every point along the curve can be adjusted similarly to find the exact throttle value
for each point in the range. Ensure the curve transitions smoothly through the
center point to deliver a smooth response through the RPM range.

 VIDEO TX
Spektrum control signals include a special command system to manage frequencies
and power output on video transmitters. Compatible video transmitters can be
managed from this menu by connecting a signal wire from the aircraft receiver to the
video transmitter. See the video transmitter manual for more information.
To apply changes to the video transmitter from the iX14+:
1. Power on the video transmitter and ensure it is properly connect to the aircraft
receiver.
2. From the Model Adjust menu, touch Video Tx.
3. Adjust the Band, Channel frequency, Power level and Mode to the desired values.
Pit mode sets the video transmitter output to very low power for testing in the pits.
Do not attempt to fly using pit mode.
Race mode sets the video transmitter output to normal power.
4. Press SEND to apply the changes. The video transmitter must be properly
connected and powered on to apply changes.

 UNDERSTANDING MIXING
0.5% mixing values and back mixing are functions built in to the mixing
programming and work seamlessly with the various types of mixing available.
0.5 MIXING VALUES
IMPORTANT: This function is only available in the default RUD > AIL/ELE mix in
aircraft model type.
When adjusting the mix values near center (between 10 and -10), 0.5% mix values
are available for fine adjustment capability.

TOC
 BACK MIXING
Back Mixing applies to all related servos in a multi servo Aileron/Flapped wing or a
multi servo split elevator. Creating a mix to RAL (Right Aileron) or LAL (Left Aileron)
will create different results and enable you to use fewer mixes to achieve the
desired response.
Example 1: Creating a mix AIL > RAL will move the ailerons in opposite directions.
Creating a mix AIL > LAL will move the ailerons in the same direction.
Example 2: Creating a mix ELE > REL will move the elevator halves together.
Creating a mix ELE > LEL will move the elevator halves in the opposite direction
(tailerons).
IMPORTANT: Be sure the ailerons and/or elevators are plugged into the correct
left/right port for this function to work.
 SAILPLANE PRE-CONFIGURED MIXES
When Sailplane is selected as the model type, the iX14+ will pre-configure four
commonly used mixes. For the following mixes, it is normal to set the offset close
to or at the end point because of the geometry of sailplane flap servo linkages. It is
also normal to use a significant amount of trim on the flap channels to center the
control surfaces with these configurations.
Aileron to Rudder (AIL > RUD)
The Aileron to Rudder mix is commonly used for coordinated turns. When active, as
aileron is applied, the rudder moves in the same direction as the turn (right aileron
input results in right rudder output). If Switch is assigned to Flight Mode, a second
Switch option allows an additional switch to be assigned to activate up to three
aileron to rudder mixes for each flight mode.
Aileron to Flap (AIL > FLP)
The Aileron to Flap mix allows the entire trailing edge of the wing (aileron and flap)
to operate as ailerons. When active, as aileron is applied, the flaps also move.
Always program the flaps to move in the same direction as the turn (right aileron
input moves the flaps as right ailerons).
Elevator to Flap (ELE > FLP)
Elevator to Flap mix creates additional lift, allowing a tighter turn. The entire trailing
edge of the wing (aileron and flap) operates as flaps (camber increase) when
elevator is applied.
An offset is provided, which is typically used for Snap Flaps. With Snap Flap, no
Elevator to Flap mix occurs until the offset value is reached. Typically, this offset is
at 70% up elevator. Beyond 70% up elevator, the down flap mix activates, providing
additional lift for aggressive turning
(e.g., in tight thermals or racing turns).
Flap to Elevator (FLP > ELE)
Flap to Elevator mix prevents pitch up tendency that occurs when Crow or Butterfly
mixing is applied. This mix is typically used only with the Camber System. The Flap
to Elevator mix operates as a curve so the elevator response can be matched to
specific points in the spoiler stick travel. This enables the pilot to ensure the elevator
compensation is correct throughout the flap range.
For sailplanes with ailerons/tips/flaps, ensure an appropriate Sailplane Type is
selected in Model Setup so that tips appear in the transmitter as RAIL and LAIL.
Decrease or increase travel on the tip ailerons by creating an AIL > RAIL mix.

 FORWARD PROGRAMMING
Forward Programming is compatible with specific Spektrum products only.
Features and use are product specific. Refer to the connected device manual for
programming instructions.
The Forward Programming menu is activated in the Model Setup, Menu Setup
screen.

TOC
 SEQUENCER
The Sequencer can manage two
independent functions activated by a
single switch. For example, the gear
switch could be assigned to operate
the landing gear doors and retractable
landing gear. Time delays can be added
within a sequence to adjust both when
and the speed at which each event takes
place. The Sequencer makes it possible to
manage opening and closing the landing gear doors with the correct timing to prevent
hitting the wheels, all with a flip of the gear switch.
Two built-in sequencers are set up for different styles of gear doors.
• Door Cycle/Wheels: for P-51 style gear doors where the gear doors open first, the
retractable landing gear cycles in or out, and the door closes.
• Door Basic/Wheels: for gear door systems that require the door to stay open with the
landing gear.
These values are only meant to serve as a baseline and are defaults, but any of the
four sequences can be re-named and fully reconfigured. Two additional sequencers
are left open for any application.
The total time for the sequence is shown along the horizontal axis of the graph.
The output channel position is shown on the vertical axis. The vertical axis is scaled
from -100 to 100 based on the travel adjustment set in the servo setup menu. Each
channel has its own independent timeline.
To set a sequencer:
1. Determine the total time for the gear sequence, forward and reverse.
2. Assign a switch to activate the sequence.
3. Assign sequence times for how long the sequence should take, forward and
reverse.
4. Swipe up and assign relevant channels. The name of the channels can be
changed. These assigned names will appear in the Servo Setup and Channel
Assign menus.
5. Set each channel to Proportional or Step.
Proportional will allow a smooth transition between points.
Step will make an instant change from one point to the next.
6. Swipe up to see the timeline.
7. Touch the percentage values along the top of the timeline to set the output
positions along the timeline for each channel.
Sequencers can also be configured to manage a mix. For example, with retractable
nose wheel steering applications, the steering mix can be disabled when retracted
and activated when the wheels are down. During the transition when the wheels are
coming down, the nose wheel steering should be disabled until the gear is fully down.
Assign the related sequence first. When the mix is configured, the sequence can be
selected in the drop down list for the switch selection.

 AS3X®
To use this feature, the Telemetry menu must first be configured for use with AS3X®
technology in Model Setup, and the iX14+ must be bound to a compatible AS3X
receiver that has been configured for remote gain. Receiver configuration is done
separately from the iX14+ setup. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.
When using a compatible AS3X receiver, the AS3X menu allows:
• Gains to be adjusted from the transmitter
• Selection of the gain adjustment input
switch
• Selection of the channel through which
gain adjustments are made
• Selection of the flight mode switch
• Real time display of gain values for
Roll, Pitch and Yaw
The AS3X Gains menu displays the following for each flight mode:
Axis: Roll, Pitch and Yaw
Rate: Rate gain values
Heading: Heading gain values
Actual: The current gain value taking into account the priority gain and the stick
position of that channel
Gain: Represents the gain channel output position. This number is the percentage of the
preset gain the receiver is using. 100 will pass through the full gain setting, 50 in
this value would mean the receiver is using 50% of the gains set in the receiver
configuration. The Gains value affects all axis, heading hold and rate gains that are
assigned as RELATIVE. This value can only reduce the gain from the value set in
the receiver configuration, it cannot raise the gain above the preset value.
Input: Allows the selection of any of the L, LTT, R or RTT Trim switches to adjust the
gain.
Channel: Must correspond to the channel selected in the AS3X application in the
FM Channel Assignment screen
Switch: Selects the switch on the transmitter that is used to select the flight modes
in the AS3X system. AS3X and Flight Mode share a switch assignment.
Assigning a switch in the AS3X menu will set the Flight Mode switch
assignment. Conversely, assigning a switch in the Flight Mode menu will
set the switch assignment in the AS3X menu.
Relative (REL) must be selected in the AS3X application gain screen to allow
adjustable gain from the transmitter.
To configure the AS3X functions:
1. Configure the receiver for remote gain using the AS3X application. In the receiver
configuration, each axis under every flight mode must be set to RELATIVE (REL)
to connect that gain value to the remote gain channel. Leaving gain settings as
ABSOLUTE (ABS) during the setup will mean the gain values are fixed and will not
be affected by the remote gain channel.
2. With the aircraft powered on and bound to the iX14+, enter the Telemetry menu
in Model Setup and select Auto-Config to set up the telemetry to work with AS3X.
3. From Model Adjust, enter the AS3X menu. This menu is scrollable by touching
and dragging up or down to show additional information.
4. If not already done in the Flight Mode menu, assign Switch to the desired switch.
5. Select the appropriate gain channel to match the assignment during the receiver
setup.
6. Select the Input switch between the L or R trim switch. This switch will make
the actual gain changes.
7. Assign gain values for each flight mode switch position.
8. Confirm any changes made with the assigned switch result in gain reductions in
the related fields in the telemetry feedback display.
WARNING: Always confirm control surface directions and gyro response
after making any changes to AS3X receivers. Always perform a thorough pre-
flight inspection to catch incorrect control surface configurations prior to flight.

 DIFFERENTIAL
The Differential menu allows for
an increase or a decrease in the
amount of differential travel between
aileron control surfaces. By reducing
the amount of aileron surface travel
in one direction, differential helps
eliminate adverse yaw from the
application of aileron control.
The Differential menu option only
appears when any multi aileron
servo wing type is selected in Aircraft Type in the Model Setup menu.
To adjust the Differential:
1. From the Model Adjust menu, touch
Differential.
2. Set Switch to On to use a single value
for differential, or assign a switch from the
popup menu.
3. Touch the value box to adjust the
differential value. A positive differential
value decreases the amount of down aileron travel of both ailerons. A negative
differential value decreases the amount of up aileron travel of both ailerons. A
setting of 100 eliminates down travel entirely. A setting of –100 eliminates up
travel. Selecting 50 or –50 reduces the down or up travel by half.
4. When the value is set, touch OK to save the setting.
5. Touch Inhibit next to Rate OTF to add a trim switch to adjust and refine the
differential percentage while flying. TOC
 V-TAIL DIFFERENTIAL
The V-Tail Differential menu allows for increasing or decreasing the amount of
differential between tail control surface throws. This menu option only appears when
V-Tail A or V-Tail B is selected in Model Setup, Aircraft Type.
To adjust the V-tail differential:
1. From the Model Adjust menu, touch
V-Tail Differential.
2. Set Switch to On to use a single value
for differential, or assign a switch from
the popup menu.
3. Touch the value box to adjust the
differential value. A positive differential
value decreases the amount of down travel of both tail surfaces. A negative
differential value decreases the amount of up travel of both tail surfaces. A setting
of 100 eliminates down travel entirely. A setting of –100 eliminates up travel.
Selecting 50 or –50 reduces the down or up travel by half.
4. When the value is set, touch OK to save the setting.
5. Touch Inhibit next to Rate OTF to add a trim switch to adjust and refine the
differential percentage while flying. TOC
 FLAP SYSTEM
The Flap System menu enables flap programming as well as flap to elevator
mixing. To make the Flap System menu available, choose a wing that includes
flaps in Aircraft Type in the Model Setup menu. Settings include: switch input, flap
position, elevator mix value, and speed of movement. This menu may be scrollable
depending on how many switch positions are applied.
TIP: Choose a wing type with multiple
aileron servos in Aircraft Type in
the Model Setup menu to add Crow
function to the flap system.
To program the Flap System:
1. From Model Adjust, touch Flap System.
2. Touch the Switch input box to select the desired switch or Flight Mode.
TIP: If an analog input device is selected (stick, slider or knob), the flaps will not
operate in direct response to moving the input. Using an analog input for the flap
system is similar to analog switch setup.
3. Touch the POS value boxes to assign
the flap travel values for each switch
position.
4. If necessary, add any required
elevator mixing for each of the
switch positions by touching in the
Elev value box and sliding the circle
along the bar. This pre-defined mix
compensates for pitch changes that
occur when the flaps are deployed.
The elevator compensation should be
tuned so the model maintains level
flight at each flap position. Touch OK
to save the value.
5. Adjust the flap speed to slow the flap
movement for more realistic operation
or to help prevent a rapid change in
flight characteristics when the flaps are
deployed. Flap speed options range from
0.0 to 360 seconds. The value selected
is the amount of time it will take for the
flaps to move from one switch position
to the next. When the desired time is entered, touch OK to save the value.
6. Touch Inhibit next to Flap OTF, Elevator OTF, or Crow OTF to add a trim
switch to adjust and refine the percentage of the selected function while flying.

TOC
 PITCH CURVE
The Pitch Curve menu is available
by default for helicopter model
types. Pitch curves are tied to the
flight modes because they are
often tied to complicated mixes.
The graph represents how the
pitch output command will respond
to the pitch stick movements.
On the graph, the horizontal axis
represents the movement of the
throttle stick, and the vertical axis represents the pitch command. Each flight mode
has a different Pitch Curve, which must be set up individually.
To set up a pitch curve:
1. From Model Adjust, touch Pitch Curve to open the scrollable menu.
2. Touch the value box for each point to adjust the value. Increase or decrease the
value to achieve the desired pitch output at that stick position.
3. Touch OK after changing each point value to save the value setting.
4. To add points to the curve, move the throttle stick to the desired position along
the curve. Touch the Add Pt button at the bottom of the menu.

Throttle position
5. To delete points from the curve, move the throttle stick over the point to be
deleted. Touch the Del Pt button at the bottom of the menu.

6. Activate Expo, if desired, to smooth the curve to prevent abrupt change in pitch
response.
7. Touch the back ( ) arrow to return to the Model Adjust menu. TOC
 ACRO PITCH CURVE
A pitch curve is also available for Acro models. The Acro pitch curve operates in
the same manner as the helicopter pitch curve, but can be assigned to any stick,
switch, or flight mode.
To activate the Acro pitch curve:
1. From Model Setup, touch Aircraft
Type.
2. Touch AIRCRAFT OPTIONS in the
top menu bar.
3. Toggle the switch to activate Pitch
Curve.
4. Touch the back arrow ( ) to return to Model Setup.
5. Touch Channel Assign.
6. Touch RX PORT ASSIGNMENT in the top menu bar.
7. Assign the pitch output by selecting an open receiver port and choosing Pitch
from the popup list.

8. From Model Adjust, touch Pitch Curve. Assign a switch and program the pitch
curve using the same steps as the heli programming above.

TOC
 SWASHPLATE
The Swashplate menu applies to models that require swashplate mixing at the
transmitter. Swashplate is available when the Model Type is Helicopter and the
Swashplate Type is set to anything other than Normal in Model Setup. This menu
manages swashplate mixes not commonly used with flybarless control systems,
which handle mixing on the model.
WARNING: Disconnect the motor from the ESC or set up and activate
Throttle Cut in Model Adjust prior to adjusting the swashplate settings
to ensure the power system cannot engage during setup.
Below is a common 3D swashplate setup for models using swashplate mixes:
1. From Model Setup, touch
Swashplate Type to select the
correct swashplate type.
2. Adjust servo horn positions so they
are neutral at center stick (zero pitch).
3. Connect the linkages with the collective
pitch stick centered (zero pitch).
4. Adjust the servo to swashplate
linkages so the swashplate is level.
5. Adjust the rotor head linkages so
mixing arms are neutral and the blades
are at zero pitch when the collective
pitch stick is centered.
6. Use servo reversing to ensure the swashplate is moving correctly for each control
input. At this step, the swashplate does not have to respond in the correct direction,
but it is critical it tilts correctly with pitch and roll and moves up and down with pitch.
7. Change the values in the Swashplate
menu to manage the direction of the
swashplate. Change the value to negative
to reverse the function. The percentage
value represents travel. A small amount
of trim is acceptable to find the neutral
point of each servo. Make fine trim
changes mechanically for neutral at
zero pitch. Avoid using the Servo Setup
menu for trim and travel changes with
swashplate mixes enabled.
TOC
 ELECTRONIC E-RING
Electronic E-Ring prevents over driving servos by limiting servo travel if the sum of
your cyclic and pitch inputs exceeds servo limits.

TOC
 ELEVATOR COMPENSATION
The Elevator Compensation setting allows for adjusting the reaction time of the
aileron and pitch servos in a 120° swashplate setup. This allows for all 3 servos to
reach full travel at the same time. Select a number from the popup menu to adjust the
delay of the aileron and pitch channels with elevator input. The menu gives a scale
from 1 to 30, with 1 being the least amount of delay and 30 being the greatest. Check
the effects of the mix with the monitor on the left side of the Swashplate menu screen.

TOC
 GYRO
Gyro options for Heli and Acro model types are considerably different.
HELI GYRO
The Gyro menu is enabled to manage tail gyro gain when the Model Type is set to Helicopter.
Touch Switch to select a switch or On. The
number of gyro gain positions will correlate
to the switch chosen. If On is selected, only
one position is set. Select a channel to assign
to the gain; this is the channel the gain signal
from the gyro needs to be plugged into on
the receiver. Most gyros will use one side of
the gain channel for heading hold and the
opposite side for rate mode. Consult the gyro
manual for more information. TOC
 ACRO GYRO
Unlike Heli configurations, Acro Gyro menus use a curve mix to enable the pilot
to achieve the expected flight response. It is common to use the gyro menu to
mix gain values so deflecting the control stick reduces the gain, preventing the
gyro from fighting flight commands. Gyro menus for the acro model type must be
enabled in the Model Setup, Aircraft Type menu under the AIRCRAFT OPTIONS
tab. Possible selections include a 3-Axis gyro or up to 3 single axis gyros.

TOC
 3-AXIS GYRO
With the 3-axis gyro function activated in Model Setup, Aircraft Type, Aircraft Options touch
3-Axis Gyro in Model Adjust.
Select a switch to activate the gyro.
Select a switch to activate the gyro.

Select the percent value for each of the switch positions to adjust the gyro gain value.
Add a Trimmer button to enable fine tuning
adjustment of the gyro gain in the air.

Select an open Channel for the gyro

gain adjustment. This is the channel the
gyro gain lead should be connected to.
Consult the instructions included with
your gyro for connection information.

TOC
 SINGLE AXIS GYRO
In Model Setup, Aircraft Type, Aircraft Options select Gyro 1, 2 and/or 3 to activate
the single axis gyro function. In Model Adjust touch Gyros to open the gyro menu.
Gyro Type defines how the curve will respond depending on gyro functionality.
The Heli gyro type is used when a
helicopter style heading hold gyro control
input method is used. For these curves
the numbers range from -100 to 100.
This is normally used to provide two
functions (rate or heading hold). Selecting
a positive or negative number defines
the mode as heading hold or rate mode.
The value serves as the gain setting for
tuning the gyro response. For example, in
heli gyro mode -50 and 50 are both 50
percent gain, but one will be heading hold
and one will be rate mode. Gyro features
vary between products, so consult the
gyro manual for more information.
The Aircraft type is intended for use
with certain rate-mode-only airplane
gyros that read the full signal range of
zero to 100. This selection will change
how the curve is laid out in the CURVE
sub menu.
To program an ACRO, aircraft type gyro:
1. Touch CURVE to open the custom curve mix.
2. Assign the input channel for the gyro. For example, if the gyro is installed to
assist the aileron channel, select Aileron.
3. Assign the output channel for the gyro, for example, the Gear channel. The gain
signal from the gyro must be plugged into the designated port to function properly;
in this case, the gear port.
4. Add the desired gyro gain values to the points on the curve.
5. To add more points on the curve, move the master control input to the desired
location for the new point on the curve, and touch the Add Pt button.
6. Assign the switch positions to activate the gyro curve. The curve is active when the
box is solid.
Pilots will often set the value in the center of the curve at a high gain value. The
gain is usually reduced to zero with full input at both ends of the travel. As the input
is moved the gain is quickly reduced. This way the gyro provides stability at center
stick and corrects less when the pilot makes control inputs. This concept helps gyro
corrections feel more natural and less robotic.
Assign curves for each flight mode and each gyro axis.

TOC
 GOVERNOR
The Governor menu is available when the model type is set to Helicopter. Governors
and rev limiters attempt to manage the rotor speed of the helicopter. How the governors
function can vary greatly. Consult the governor manual for more information.
• Some governors dictate head speed
using the throttle signal exclusively.
This is fairly common for electric
helicopters. The Governor menu is not
necessary for these configurations. The
throttle curves and flight modes will
deliver the features necessary.
• Other governors dictate head speed
using the throttle signal and a flight mode or gain signal. The Governor menu
manages this gain signal. Select the gain channel and each flight mode (stunt
mode) will have a value that can be assigned to the gain channel. TOC
 TAIL CURVE
Helicopters without a heading hold
gyro will experience inconsistent tail
performance. When throttle is applied,
the tail will swing one way and then
another with reduced power. Tail curves
are used to compensate for torque at
various points in the throttle range. Tail
curves are commonly tied to flight modes
and tuned to match each mode after the
pitch and throttle curves are set. The
tail curve mix is not required with most
modern helicopter flight control systems.

TOC
 CAMBER PRESET
The Camber Preset menu is activated when the model type is set to Sailplane and when
one of the multi-servo wing types is selected in Sailplane Type in the Model Setup menu.
The Camber Preset function allows for programming of the ailerons, flaps (if assigned),
wing tips (if assigned) and elevator for a specific position in each flight mode. If flight
modes are not active, only one preset position is available and is always active.

Move the flight mode switch to the desired position to change the camber preset values.
Assign a trim switch to the Flap, Aileron, or Elevator On The Fly (OTF) options to
adjust and refine the values of the selected surface while flying.

The Speed setting enables the control surfaces to transition over a period of time,
up to 120 seconds, when the flight mode is changed.

TOC
 CAMBER SYSTEM
The Camber System menu is activated when the model type is set to Sailplane
and when one of the multi-servo aileron wing types is selected in Sailplane Type
in the Model Setup menu. The Camber System allows camber adjustment in flight
and is used as the braking system. Each flight mode can have the camber system
assigned differently and can use different input controls for each. Pilots often use
the spoiler stick to manage lift with precision, deploying crow in a manageable way
to slow the sailplane while maintaining effective control authority to prevent the
aircraft from stalling.

TOC
 IN-FLIGHT CAMBER CONTROL
Each flight mode can have an independent configuration with different offsets and
travel. Some flight modes may have a small range of camber (drooped trailing
edge), while others may have a small range of reflex (raised trailing edge). Common
practice is to have some flight modes utilize a small amount of travel for fine trailing
edge control and some flight modes to use a large amount of travel to act as flaps.

TOC
 IN-FLIGHT BRAKING
In-flight braking requires simultaneous flap and aileron deployment in order to
create drag and slow the aircraft. These complicated mixing functions are often
referred to as Crow or Butterfly. Crow is a flight mode where the flaps deploy and
the ailerons reflex upward. The sailplane is put into a steep dive before crow is
deployed, and even the fastest, most streamlined sailplanes can be landed slowly,
with precision.
To achieve crow functionality, the pre-configured flap-to-aileron mix is used to raise
the ailerons when the flaps deploy. Ensure the mix is configured correctly. See the
Mixing, Back Mixing section for more information.
For example, a basic 3 flight mode setup on an electric sailplane with a 4 servo
wing may be configured so that:
• In launch mode:
The spoiler stick operates the motor as a throttle stick for the motor.
Camber is controlled from a slider and is mixed to ailerons so the flaps and ailerons work
together as flaps.
The range of the camber movement is limited from neutral to a few degrees of camber.
• In cruise mode:
The motor is disabled using the Motor Cut menu set to the flight mode.
The spoiler stick controls the camber.
- The flaps are mixed to the ailerons so they act together.
- The camber is neutral at center stick.
- At high stick, a few degrees of reflex is produced to increase speed when sink is
encountered.
- Low stick produces moderate camber to manage lift.
 In this mode aileron to flap mixing delivers full span ailerons, and elevator to flap
mixing makes elevator response aggressive.
• In land mode:
The motor is disabled using the motor cut menu.
The spoiler stick deploys crow.
- At high stick the camber is neutral.
- As the stick is moved down, the flaps are dropped and the ailerons are reflexed up.
- A flap to elevator mix provides down elevator as the crow is applied to compensate
for pitch changes.
- At low stick the flaps may be nearly 90 degrees and the ailerons are fully raised.

assignments in a familiar order; however, this can be re-configured so any of the
channels can connect to any of the receiver ports.
Multiple receiver ports can be assigned to the same channel.
To change the receiver port assignments:
1. Touch and drag up to scroll to
the bottom of the Channel Input
Configuration menu.
2. Touch the RX PORT ASSIGNMENT
button.
3. Touch the drop down menu button
next to the receiver port.
4. Select the channel to be assigned to
that receiver port. TOC
 TRAINER
All options related to programming and using the trainer functions are controlled with the
Trainer menu.
Three options are available in the trainer
menu:
• Wired Trainer
• Wireless Trainer
• Trainer Alerts
Wired Trainer and Wireless Trainer have
similar options when connecting two
transmitters for the purpose of training a student pilot. In addition, an advanced
menu for FPV pilots in both the Wired and Wireless Trainer menus provides
specialized functions needed specifically for FPV head tracking applications.
TOC
 WIRED TRAINER
Wired Trainer enables a student and instructor to work together by physically
connecting two transmitters together with a cable.
The optional Spektrum wired trainer adaptor (SPMA3091, not included) and trainer
cable (SPM6805, not included) are required for wired trainer operation. The wired
trainer adaptor connects to the serial port on the back of the transmitter. The trainer
cable plugs into the adaptor.
Wired trainer supports up to 8 input channels with PPM based trainer systems
connected. If the iX14+ is used with a wired connection, the correct wired trainer
option must be selected in the trainer menu and the student mode started or the
wired trainer connection will not work.
When Wired Trainer mode is selected, a drop down menu will appear. Select from
the following trainer options:
• Programmable Instructor: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the
instructor, and requires the student transmitter to be fully configured, including
reversing, travel, mixes, etc. This mode is helpful when the student has the full
model configuration complete.
• Pilot Link Instructor: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the instructor,
and requires the student transmitter to have no settings applied, all of the reverse
settings to normal and all travel settings at 100%. This option is intended to make
it as simple as possible to connect any student transmitter to any airplane.
• FPV: This mode is available for connecting a head tracking system to the iX14+
for FPV use. See the Headtracking FPV Setup section for more information.
• P-Link Student: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the student
transmitter. Use this option if the instructor transmitter is set up with Wired Pilot
Link Instructor. A Start Student Mode button appears, which activates and
deactivates wired trainer student capabilities. In this mode, the iX14+ should be
left on a default ACRO model with no changes.
• Normal Student: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the student
transmitter. Use this option if the instructor transmitter is set up with Wired
Programmable Instructor. A Start Student Mode button appears, which activates
and deactivates wired trainer student capabilities. In this selection the iX14+ must
be fully configured to operate the aircraft.

TOC
 WIRELESS TRAINER
Wireless Trainer enables instructors and students to work together without any
cables connecting the transmitters. Wireless Trainer supports up to 20 channels of
input depending on the number of channels available from the student transmitter
or wireless headtracker. It is only necessary to put the instructor transmitter into the
special wireless trainer bind mode. The student transmitter uses the normal binding
process. Wireless Trainer modes are compatible with any Spektrum DSMX or DSM2
transmitter, Spektrum Focal® Headsets, and the small MLP4 and MLP6 transmitters
from Horizon Hobby RTF models which include Spektrum technology.
When wireless trainer mode is selected, a drop down menu will appear with the
following options:
• Programmable Instructor: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the
instructor and requires the student transmitter to be fully configured, including
reversing, travel, mixes, etc. This mode is helpful when the student has the full
model configuration complete.
• Pilot Link Instructor: This training mode designates the iX14+ as the instructor
and requires the student transmitter to have no settings applied, all of the reverse
settings to normal and all travel settings at 100%. This option is intended to make
it as simple as possible to connect any student transmitter to any airplane.

• FPV: This mode is available for connecting a head tracking system to the iX14+
TOC
for FPV use. This option is covered further in the Headtracking FPV Setup section.
 TRAINER ALERTS
The Trainer State Reports menu allows the user to change the audio reports that
indicate current control and connection status of the trainer system. Select the
report activated when control is transferred between instructor and student or if the
instructor transmitter loses the signal from the student radio.

TOC
 INSTRUCTOR TRANSMITTER CONFIGURATION
1. Select the type of trainer mode for the application (Wired or Wireless,
Programmable Instructor or Pilot Link Instructor).
2. Choose whether or not to enable Instructor Over-Ride. This setting defines how the
instructor can resume control from the student. When enabled, the instructor must not
move the sticks when the student is given control. Moving the sticks or moving the
selected trainer switch will return control to the instructor.
With Instructor Over-Ride disabled, the switch position determines who is in control.
When Switch I or the right or left trim button is selected, Instructor Over-Ride is disabled
by default. When any other switch is selected, Instructor Over-Ride is enabled.
3. If Wireless Trainer mode was selected in step 1, Bind the student transmitter to
the instructor transmitter. See the Binding Wireless Trainer section.
4. Determine which channels to assign to the student when given control by
moving the on-screen switch for each channel. Students can be given control of
a single channel or all channels, as the instructor sees fit. TOC
 BINDING WIRELESS TRAINER
Binding the iX14+ wireless trainer feature as an instructor transmitter is not
the same as binding the iX14+ to an aircraft. The iX14+ has a built-in receiver
dedicated to the wireless trainer. The wireless trainer menu screens include a Bind
button within the menu.
5. Touch the Bind button in the Wireless Trainer screen to enter trainer bind mode.
6. Long press on BIND.
7. Place the student transmitter in normal bind mode.
8. When the transmitters have completed the binding process, check the settings
by opening the monitor screen on the instructor transmitter,
giving control to the student transmitter and checking the monitor for correct
control outputs.

 HEAD TRACKING FPV SETUP
Wired FPV Mode: Enables the use
of a headset with head tracking or
another transmitter to control an
onboard camera gimbal by physically
connecting to the iX14+ with a cable.
The optional Spektrum wired trainer
adaptor (SPMA3091, not included) and
a trainer cable (SPM6805, not included)
are required for wired FPV operation. The
wired trainer adaptor connects to the
serial port on the back of the transmitter.
The trainer cable plugs into the adaptor.
The wired trainer is compatible with PPM
based trainer links.
Wireless FPV Mode: Enables the use
of a Spektrum Focal headset with head
tracking or another DSMX or DSM2
transmitter to control an airborne camera
gimbal without connecting the iX14+
to a cable. Wireless FPV modes are
compatible with any Spektrum DSMX or
DSM2 transmitter and Spektrum Focal
headsets.
Each individual output channel can be mapped to any input channel from the
trainer signal, leaving all other controls on the instructor transmitter. Primary flight
control channels default to instructor control. Leave all channels connected to flight
controls set up as instructor when using a headtracker.
To configure headtracking FPV:
1. Select either Wired or Wireless Trainer from the Trainer menu.
2. Select the FPV trainer mode.
3. Select the switch to enable/disable the head tracker.
4. Select the first Output Channel to be controlled. For example, if the pan servo
is plugged into channel 5, select channel 5 as the output. Each axis of the
gimbal will go to a separate output channel.
5. Change the mode to STUDENT. This selection only applies to the selected
output channel.
6. Select the Input Channel from the trainer that controls the selected output
channel when trainer is activated.
7. Input channels can be reversed or scaled in this menu to configure the student
controls for correct response on the output channels. Normal servo setup menus
for the output channel will be ignored when the trainer signal is commanding a
given channel.
8. Repeat steps 4–7 to configure all the required output channels; select the
Output Channel first, change the mode to Student, select the Input Channel
and scale and reverse the travel as necessary.
9. For wireless connections, touch the Bind button to put the iX14+ into trainer
bind mode before powering on the wireless head tracker (student transmitter).
See the Binding Wireless Trainer section for more information.

TOC
 RANGE TEST
The Range Test menu is used to confirm that receiver installation is working. From
Model Setup, touch Range Test. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform a
range test. This test should be performed multiple times from multiple model
orientations to verify the radio component installation. Ensure the model does not
experience any loss of control during the range test.

TOC
 FLIGHT LOG DATA
In addition to watching if the model loses control, more specific data is available
from the receiver to learn how well the installation is working. Telemetry receivers
report the receiver performance directly in this menu as well as on the Spektrum
Airware dashboard telemetry screen.
Touch and swipe up to scroll to the bottom of the Range Test menu to see a display
of the Flight Log Data telemetry information, if available.
The following information is displayed:
• A: Antenna fades on Receiver A
• B: Antenna fades on Receiver B
• L: Antenna fade on the left receiver
• R: Antenna fade on the right receiver
• F: Total number of frame losses
• H: Number of Holds
Fade: occurs when the receiver does not receive a complete data packet. A data
packet is one sequence of numbers that represents all of the control signals for one
instant in time.
Frame Loss: represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If
one receiver experiences a fade, one of the other attached receivers can still pass a
complete packet to the main processor, and the system proceeds without a recorded
frame loss. Spektrum receivers without remote receivers will report the same data for
frame losses and fades. The A, B, L and R antennas represent each remote receiver;
they will not report data if a remote receiver is not connected.
Hold: occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. If a hold occurs during flight
or during a range test, re-evaluate the system. Relocate the receiver and/or check
to make sure the transmitter and receiver are working correctly.
TIP: It is important to note the flight log data is reporting the reception quality of
the Spektrum signal received at the model. It does not represent the telemetry
link strength. The control link can take advantage of multi-link technology, while
the telemetry signal cannot. It is normal for the telemetry reception to be less
robust that the control link.
The operational differences between DSM2® and DSMX® receivers cause some
expected differences in the telemetry data collected between the two systems.
DSMX is frequency agile, while DSM2 finds two quiet channels and remains
on those channels. Consequently, because DSMX operates on quiet and noisy
channels, it’s common to have more Antenna Fades and Frame Losses than when
using DSM2 in busy 2.4GHz environments.
TOC
 GUIDELINES FOR DSM2 INSTALLATIONS
• It is normal to have as many as 50–100 antenna fades during a flight.
• If the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be
less than 20.
• Holds are unacceptable. If a hold occurs, investigate and correct the issue before
next flight.

TOC
 GUIDELINES FOR DSMX INSTALLATIONS
• Use fades for comparison only. All attached receivers should have similar fades. If
not, investigate poorly performing receivers (location, antenna orientation, etc) and
correct.
• In conventional models during a normal flight, frame losses should be less than 100
on all receivers.
• Holds are unacceptable. If a hold occurs, investigate and correct the issue before
next flight.

TOC
 RECEIVER INSTALLATION
Always install receivers where the antennas are placed as far possible from metal,
batteries, wires, fuel tanks and other objects. Receivers with integrated telemetry
should be installed with a focus on the antennas attached to the main part of
the receiver in an optimal location, as this will be the only antenna transmitting
telemetry information.
Remote receivers should be installed as far from the main receiver as is practical,
with the antennas oriented 90˚ to the main receiver antenna.
Telemetry data can help diagnose receiver signal problems where the receiver is
experiencing signal loss.

TOC
 MODEL START WARNINGS
Model Start Warnings are used to warn of the state of specific modes or features
that are active when RF is powered on.
Three trigger options are available:
• STICK INPUT: Triggers the alert based
on movement of one of the analog
control inputs.
• SERVO OUTPUT: Triggers the alert based
on the signal output command sent to
the receiver.
• SWITCH: Triggers the alert based on a
switch position.
By default, the system warns when attempting to power on the RF signal with the
throttle stick over 10% by speaking “Throttle High.” Multiple model start warnings
can be configured. When attempting to power on the RF signal, the system lists every
issue encountered. The system will not power on the RF signal until all warned issues
are resolved. In the above case, the throttle must be lowered below 10% before the
system will enable the RF signal. Similar warnings may be used for features such as
retractable landing gear with a switch or channel output set up for the trigger.
To add a stick input model start warning:
1. From Model Setup, touch Model Start Warnings.

 SERIAL PORT SETUP
The Serial Port Setup menu manages
serial port usage on the back of the
transmitter. This port is designed to
communicate with external RF devices
using digital communication protocols.
The iX14+ includes the CRFS protocol
for compatibility with the TBS Cross Fire
and Cross Fire 2. In addition, the iX14+
is engineered to deliver a 9.5V power
supply for external devices. Any changes
made in this menu will not be applied
until the RF is re-enabled.

TOC
 SERIAL PORT PROTOCOL
Touch the Protocol drop down menu button. Select Inhibit, Cross Fire or Cross
Fire 2. Selecting the Cross Fire or Cross Fire 2 options will enable the CRFS
data stream. Connecting the Cross Fire system requires the Cross Fire serial port
adaptor (SPMA3090, not included). Consult the manufacturer’s manual for use of
any external RF device. Horizon Hobby does not provide support for external RF
devices connected to the iX14+ transmitter.

TOC
 SPEKTRUM RF
The touch switch defines whether or not Spektrum RF is transmitted along with
the data stream coming from the data port when other protocols are selected. The
switch defaults to on when the Protocol is set to Inhibit.

TOC
 SERIAL PORT POWER (9.5V)
The Serial Port will provide 9.5V for external devices by selecting the touch switch.
This power supply has been designed to support up to 1 amp of current. Battery
use will be affected and the expected use time will decrease when using this option
to power external devices. Set the Transmitter Battery Warning alarm in System
Settings, System Configuration to 25% when powering external devices through
the serial port to ensure there is ample reserve battery time to support current
demands and ensure safe operation.

TOC
 AIRCRAFT TYPE
Aircraft Type defines what type of model configuration the iX14+ is set up to
control. Therefore, this menu should be the first step after creating a new model.
The choices made in this menu define default channel assignments and enable
pre-defined mixes with custom menus designed specifically for the selected
application. This menu appears differently for each of the four model options
chosen from during model creation in Model Utilities.
Choosing from the common configurations in this menu opens access to other menus
not shown otherwise. Flaps, for example, can be assigned to a switch and made to
function without using one of the pre-configured options. However, by assigning the
correct wing type in the Aircraft Type menu, a Flap System menu is enabled in the
Model Adjust list. The Flap System menu gives the pilot the choice of switches and a
built-in elevator compensation mix, which makes fine-tuning an airplane for level flight
throughout the flap range much easier. Options that enable mixes will label the default
assigned channels in other menus, such as Servo Setup and Monitor.
In menus options, select an on-screen diagram that matches the control layout on the TOC
aircraft.
 AIRCRAFT TYPE (AIRPLANE)
Wing Tail

wings, there are both Dual Aileron and If no combination of reversing will move the
Flaperon options. To utilize the built-in Flap surfaces correctly, try the other V-Tail mix.
System menu, select Flaperon. Selecting Dual
Aileron will not enable the Flap System menu.
There are two Elevon mixes. For airplanes
that include elevons, try one option first. If
reversing the aileron and elevator channels
will not result in correct surface movement,
try the other Elevon option.
Extra Options
Activating any of the Gyro or Pitch Curve options will enable a menu in the Model
Adjust list to manage those functions.
Throttle Mode: Normal or Reverse defines how the pilot uses throttle. Most pilots
use Normal (low throttle to the bottom of transmitter). For pilots who use reverse
throttle (low throttle to the top of the transmitter, high throttle to the bottom), the
iX14+ can be configured as such for correct operation.

TOC
 SWASHPLATE TYPE (HELICOPTER)
When the model type is set to helicopter, this menu is called Swashplate Type. The diagram
represents the top down view of the swashplate. Select the appropriate mix to match the
helicopter swashplate.
Helicopters with flybarless control systems most often use the Normal configuration with no
mixes applied. Consult the manual for the flybarless system for more information.
Choose from six common swashplate mixing options. Selecting a pre-configured mix
(any option other than Normal) will enable the Swashplate menu in the Model Setup list to
manage the various swashplate mixes.
Collective Type
The Collective Type allows the throttle/pitch stick to operate in reverse and ensures trims,
curves and all other functions that work in reverse function properly. Select reverse to fly
with positive pitch at low stick and negative pitch at high stick.

TOC
 SAILPLANE TYPE (SAILPLANE)
The Sailplane Type menu is similar to the Acro mode, but has more advanced features
geared toward sailplane pilots. This menu is set up to support both powered and
unpowered sailplanes. Unlike pilots flying conventional airplanes, it is common for
sailplane pilots to use the throttle stick to manage speed on a sailplane with flaps,
ailerons and spoilers; the throttle stick is called the Spoiler stick in the Sailplane-
specific menus.
Wing
Select from five common wing
configurations to suit the aircraft. When a
two servo or more wing configuration is
selected, the Camber Preset and Camber
System menus are included in the Model
Adjust list.
Tail
For V-Tail applications there are two
options. Try one first and if no combination
of reversing will make the control surfaces
respond correctly, try the other. Selecting
a V-Tail option will enable the V-Tail
Differential menu in Model Adjust.
Motor
Select the Motor drop down menu button to
assign the motor function to any control stick
or switch. The Motor option in the sailplane
type defaults to Inhibit.
Four mixes are enabled in the Mixing
menu in the Model Adjust list when the
model type is set to Sailplane; Aileron >
Rudder, Aileron > Flap, Elevator > Flap
and Flap > Elevator.

TOC
 AIRCRAFT TYPE (MULTIROTOR)
Selecting Multirotor for the model type
during a new model setup will enable the
multirotor Aircraft Type menu. This menu
defines the number of rotors and camera
mount axes and can be optimized for
racing drones or aerial photography. The
AP mode has advanced functions for
aerial photography multirotors to enable
pilots to use a control stick on the iX14+
to fly the multirotor in one flight mode and control the camera from another.
Rotor type: Select the number of rotors on the multirotor.
Camera: Select the number of movement axes on the camera gimbal.
FPV Racer: This selection selects FPV Racer mode or AP mode. When FPV Racer
mode is not enabled, multirotor models are in AP mode.
• FPV Racer mode optimizes the throttle channel by changing it to 11ms operation
and keeps flight mode functions simple.
• AP mode includes a separate Channel Input Assignment menu tied to each
flight mode. With this capability a pilot can configure the iX14+ in AP mode so
changing the flight mode can change the input source for the camera gimbal. For
example, a pilot can configure flight mode 1 for slow speed flight, flight mode 2
for faster flying and flight mode 3 to put the multirotor into a position hold mode.
The pitch/roll control stick can then be re-assigned to the camera pan and tilt
commands. In this example, the pilot uses the first two flight modes to fly the
aircraft. In those modes, the camera pan and tilt can be assigned to the sliders. In
the third flight mode, the aircraft can take advantage of GPS technology* to hold
a position and the pilot can move the pitch/roll control stick to guide the camera
gimbal without affecting the multirotor.
*GPS technology for position hold are not part of the features of the iX14+. This
function must be installed on the flight controller onboard the aircraft.
WARNING: AP mode includes complicated channel assignment
capabilities. Confirm operation works as expected with the motors
disengaged before experimenting in flight.

TOC
 FLIGHT MODE SETUP
Flight Modes can help a pilot manage a wide variety of switches and functions.
Pilots can use flight modes to manage rates, expo, mixes, audio alerts, and other
functions. By defining several flight modes, pilots can maximize the aircraft’s
performance using different configurations without having to use multiple switches.
Flight modes can include multiple flight modes on one switch or be linked together
with other switches to define more than the three flight modes that one switch
can manage. Flight mode setup allows the pilot to configure what flight mode is
assigned to every combination of the assigned switches.
Each model type setting includes a different set of default flight mode names to define
which mode is being used. The spoken name for each flight mode can be edited with
the text-to-speech function.

TOC
 EXAMPLES OF FLIGHT MODE APPLICATIONS
Acro: Airplane pilots can take advantage of flight modes to manage different phases of the
flight, instead of having to operate different switches. For example, a scale airplane might
have a flight mode for take-off with a few degrees of flaps, no elevator compensation,
landing gear down, and low rates. Another flight mode can be used for a cruise mode that
includes landing gear and flaps up, high rates, and the nose wheel steering servo disabled
so it does not move with rudder input. A third flight mode for landing might include flaps
fully deployed, landing gear down, elevator compensation, and low rates.
Helicopter: Helicopter pilots commonly use flight modes to manage the advanced curves
common for helis. Flight modes might include a head speed setting for the governor, a gain
setting for the tail gyro, a throttle and pitch curve, rates and expo. Using all of these features
on one switch, a helicopter pilot can have flight mode 1 set up for low head speed and low
rates, flight mode 2 set up for medium head speed and medium rates, and flight mode
3 set up for high rates. Instead of requiring a different switch to define each function, the
flight modes link the multiple functions to a single switch. In the heli scenario, the throttle
curves and governor are used to perform aerobatics, but different head speeds change
requirements on the tail gain, and the speed the helicopter responds also changes with
head speed. By putting all of the related functions in flight modes, every function can be
tailored to work correctly with the other settings in that mode.
Sailplane: Sailplane pilots commonly use flight modes to define a wide array of
configurations, which can have a drastic impact on how a high performance sailplane
flies. Advanced sailplanes often utilize complicated mixes to control wings with
multiple servos. These mixes give the pilot the flexibility to select a flight mode that is
tied to numerous functions. Pilots can have the throttle (spoiler) stick control nothing
in Launch mode. In Cruise mode, it can control a limited amount of reflex travel. In
Thermal mode, it can have full span flaps with limited camber travel. In Landing mode,
moving the throttle stick can deploy a crow mix (ailerons up, flaps down). A full array
of other options, such as appropriate rates and elevator compensation mixes and
other features, can be individually tailored so the sailplane is optimized for each type
of flying with just the simple selection of the Flight Mode. TOC
 USING FLIGHT MODE SETUP

Assign a single switch for up to three modes. Swipe up the right side of the screen
to scroll to the bottom of the menu and change the text-to-speech flight mode
name or re-assign the currently selected switch position to a different flight mode.
Adding another switch will add more flight modes to the flight mode assignment table:
• Switch 1 will move the flight mode selection left or right in the table.
• Switch 2 will move the flight mode selection up or down in the table.
• Switch 3, if available, will add another group of flight modes. Changing this switch will
move the flight mode selection up or down to the next group of options.
• The Priority Switch can override the table. One switch position will always be
Switches. This position uses switches 1–3 to choose between the flight modes
in the assignment table. The other switch positions can be assigned to specific
flight modes.
TOC
 HOLD (HELICOPTER)
Hold, commonly referred to as throttle hold, is a flight mode that allows the pilot to
eliminate power to the rotor blades while maintaining cyclic and blade pitch control.
Hold is enabled in the Flight Mode Setup menu and is configured in the Model Adjust,
Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve menus.
To enable the throttle hold function, touch the Hold Switch drop down menu button
to select the desired switch. Select the switch position(s) to activate Hold. After the
Hold mode is enabled in the Flight Mode Setup, the curves can be adjusted in the
Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve menus.

TOC
 TRIM SETUP
Use the Trim Setup menu to change the size of the trim step and the trim type.
Trim Step: Adjusting the trim step value determines how many “clicks” of trim you
input each time you press the trim button. Changing the trim step value to 0 disables
the trim for the channel.
To change the trim step value:
1. Select the trim channel you wish to
change.
2. Select the trim step value and select
the click value desired. The default
value is 5.
Trim Type: The two types are Common (default) and F-Mode.
Common trim type maintains the same trim values for all flight modes.
F-Mode trim type enables you to save trim values for each individual flight mode.
For example, if an aircraft requires aileron trim in flight mode 1 but not in flight
mode 2, use F-Mode trim to add the required trim in flight mode 1 and not affect
the other.
Trim Assignment: In some instances, such as airplane model type throttle, trim
input may be reassigned to a different location.

TOC
 CROSS TRIMS
Normal and Cross trim options are available.
Normal trims align with the control stick; for example, the throttle trim is next to the
throttle stick.
Cross trims swap the position of the trims; for example, the throttle trim is next to
the elevator stick and vice versa.
To change the trim position from Normal to Cross:
1. Scroll to Trims at the bottom of the
Trim Setup menu.
2. Touch the Normal button.
3. Select Crossed.
IMPORTANT: Crossed trims will cross
both sets of trims for both gimbals.

User Name: Touch the pen icon ( ) to enter the user name in the text field
using the on-screen keyboard. Touch DONE to save the entry and return to the
configuration menu.
Mode: Mode refers to how the control stick arrangement. Four modes are available,
though most pilots use Modes One or Two. Mode Two is the iX14+ default and is
preferred by most North American pilots. Changing to Mode One or Three requires a
physical change to both transmitter sticks. Refer to the Physical Transmitter Adjustments
section for detailed instructions on physically changing the stick layout. The transmitter
must have the power cycled before any mode change takes effect. Then recalibrate the
transmitter prior to flight. See the Calibration section for more information.
Language: Language changes in this menu will change the language within the
Spektrum AirWare application.
Tx Battery Alarm: The default value for the remaining battery capacity alarm is
10%. This value can be changed by touching the drop down menu and selecting the
desired value from the list. Warning type and spoken-text can be changed as well.
Tx Inactivity Alarm: Define the time before the inactivity alarm triggers, as well as
the type of warning and spoken texts.
TX Auto sleep (Default 5 min): If the inactivity alarm continues for the set length
of time, the system will automatically go into sleep mode to prevent accidental
discharge of the battery.
Audio Event FIFO on/off (Default off): Enables the audio events, first in first out
feature. This setting plays every audio event in the order they are triggered without
audio events ‘stepping on or over’ each other. If many audio events are active, this
setting can cause the system to backlog events which may cause the system to
speak for some time, depending on the number of alerts.
Telemetry Warning Pop Up (Default on): Enables or disables telemetry warning
pop-ups on the transmitter screen. The pop-ups include an option to clear the warning.
Startup Tone (Default on): Enables the tone at the startup of the app.
