Hitec Optic 6 Sport User Manual
Introduction to the Optic System
Table of Contents
Congratulations! You now own a Hitec Optic, an extremely
versatile radio control system that may be effectively used by
both beginning and master pilots. The transmitter may be
programmed for aircraft/gliders or helicopters, all with special
mixing functions, so it can accommodate many model
configurations. You can store programming for eight different
models in this powerful system! The transmitter will remember
all of your settings for each of your different models forever -
no backup battery is ever needed. With programmable shift, it
can be used with all PPM/FM receiver models, even those
from other brands! The system pushbuttons allow rapid data
input into the easy-to-read LCD display. With its electronic
digital trims, you'll never lose your trim positions again,
because they stay at the same place you left them for every
model stored in memory! You can select the on-off switches
for many functions, and you can even assign the throttle to an
on-off switch, great for electrics! Standard programming
features include servo reversing for all channels, subtrims, end
point adjust on all channels, dual rates (with choice of switch),
and exponential. Pre-programmed functions and programmable
mixers allow you to use the system for any type of model you
can imagine. For those learning to fly, the transmitter has
'buddy-box' capability, so that you may connect a second
Hitec transmitter with an optional trainer cord part #58310 for
training by an instructor pilot.

About this manual
Optic System Options:
Helicopter features include five-point pitch and throttle curves,
high and low revolution mixing, throttle cut, throttle hold, gyro
settings, and rudder
throttle mixing. You may select a
conventional swashplate, or if you have a more complex
chopper, mixing is provided for the 120 type of three-servo
swashplates. Two programmable mixers are also provided for
making your own custom functions or for custom
compensations. Of course, the Optic helicopter menus have
the four helicopter flight mode settings found in other radios
costing hundreds of dollars more.
There are two aircraft menu's to choose from:
Aircraft/Glider preprogrammed mixing features include
flaperon (dual aileron servos), flap trim, camber control,
landing mixing, aileron differential, ailevator (dual elevator
servos), V-tail, elevon (for flying-wing models), landing settings,
throttle-cut, throttle control select, aileron
rudder mixing,
elevator
flap mixing, and crow mixing. Two programmable
mixers are also provided for making your own custom functions.
The second aileron may be set to plug into channel 5, so you
can use the system with ultralight five-channel receivers
without any problems!
