Copy model into transmitter

• Turn on RC transmitter (T20 Gemini, or other compatible RC)

• Now, internal storage of RC transmitter should be visible in Files/File Explorer. Copy downloaded model to folder MODELS in RC transmitter internal storage.

When uploading new modelXX.yml file, ensure that the XX numbers are sequential and in the order. Files must be numbered consecutively (e.g., model00.yaml, model01.yaml, model02.yaml, …) for the system to work properly. File name has to be always in format modelXX.yml , where XX represents order number, in which models are displayed in Transmitter menu.

• After successful model copy, unplug RC transmitter and it turn off.

• Always turn on your RC transmitter first, than select correct model by shortly pressing ( 1 ) button and selecting/confirming model with roller ( 2 ).

Current RC Transmitter which is being used is set to Mode 2. This means, that sticks controls are following:

• Left stick - Throttle and yaw
