  This is a Pilot Assist Link (Auto Pilot) For Aircraft Use (Not Helicopters).
    When You Release The Transmitter Sticks, The PA-2 Automatically Returns
       The Aircraft To Level Flight Even If It Enters A Dangerous State
              Due To The Effect Of Wind Or Erroneous Operation.
        This Simplifies Training In Model Aircraft Flying Techniques.

FEATURES: This Is A Horizontal Stabilizer For Model Aircraft and Incorporates
            The Latest Sensor Technology.
          Operates On A Single Aileron Servo.
          Supports two Channels To Level The Wings and Bring Plane To Level
            Flight.
          Automatically Controls The Elevators and Ailerons, But When The
            Modeler Operates A Stick, The Sensitivity Drops According To The
            Amount Of Stick Operation and Stick Operation Has Priority.
          Sensitivity Can Be Adjusted By Transmitters Having Volume Control-
            (At Least 5 Channels and At Least One Extra Channel Is On A Dial.)
            (See COMMENTS) Or By The Gain Control On The Amplifier Unit Itself.
          Some Radios W/Volume Control Are: SKYSPORT 6VA, 6XA, 7UA, 8UA, 9ZA.
            Other Brands Of Radios May Work If They Are Wired Like And Have
            Connectors Like Futaba Has.
          Servo Reversing Switches Located On Amplifier Unit.

INCLUDES: One Amplifier Unit Pre-Wired with 2-Pin and J Plugs
          One Sensor Unit Pre-Wired with 2-Pin Plugs, Nylon Nut and Washer
          One Instruction Manual

REQUIRES: Use with a standard Futaba-compatible receiver/radio system

SPECS:    Power Requirement: 4.8V (NiCd Battery fed via receiver)
          Current Drain:     5mA (at 4.8V) (confirmed 9/99 amc/jquigg)
          Amplifier Length: 53.5mm (excluding protruding parts)
                    Width:  33.5mm
                    Height: 14.5mm
                    Weight: 25g
          Sensor Diameter: 33mm
                 Weight:   15g (excluding screws)
COMMENTS: It Is Not Recommended To Fly: On Days When The Sun Is Extremely
            Bright or Reflective, Ground Is Snow Covered, Over Water Or Near
            Reflective Buildings, or in Very Low Light Conditions (Dusk, etc).
          This Unit Only Keeps The Aircraft Level, It Does Not Automatically
            Fly The Aircraft From Takeoff To Landing.
          Wiring:
            From Amp to Sensor: Red/Black & Yellow/Orange w/2-Pin Connectors
            From Amp to Rx: Blue J Connector For Elevator
                            Black J Connector For Aileron
Sensitivity: (Volume Control) Red J Connector For Auxiliary (Used Usually In
                              Channel 5, And Will Enable The Use Of Transmitter
                              Volume Control To Change Sensitivity In Flight.
            From Rx to Amp: Channel 1 Aileron
                            Channel 2 Elevator

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE OLDER PA1 AND THE PA2:
            PA1 had a slot for the second Aileron Servo. Customer must use a
               "Y" connector for the second Aileron servo with the PA2.
            The Gain on the PA2 can be adjusted directly on the unit itself
               and thus does not require a transmitter with Volume control.

                                                                    JAL 4/29/99
