Introduction
To find your best RC transmitter setup is now even easier and faster. KAVAN V20 Pro is made by FrSky and boasts the new revolutionary gimbals MC30R, fully adjustable from the front. They are designed for RC planes, perfect for helicopters and compatible with various radio-controlled models, such as drones, cars, or boats. Combined with the ETHOS operating system for remote control and many compatible receivers at your disposal, you will achieve the top settings for your radio control in no time.

1. Vertical axis
Controls the pitch axis (elevator) or speed (throttle).
2. Horizontal axis
Controls the roll axis (ailerons) or yaw axis (rudder).
3. Horizontal axis RESISTANCE
Adjusts the tension of the horizontal axis self-centring spring. Loosening the screw reduces the centring spring force, therefore slowing down the horizontal axis's return to the neutral position.
4. Horizontal axis travel limiter
Adjusts the mechanical travel range limiter of the gimbal's whole horizontal axis. By tightening the screw, the maximum deflection from the centre position can be set between 22.5° and 30°.
5. Non-centring vertical axis stiffness
Adjusts the overall stiffness of the vertical axis movement of the gimbal.
6. Self-centring
Adjusts the self-centring mode of the gimbal. Tightening the screw disables self-centring (the „throttle stick“ does not return to the neutral position). Loosening the screw enables self-centring.
7. Centring vertical axis resistance
Adjusts the self-centring spring tension of the vertical axis when self-centring is enabled. Loosening the screw reduces the centring spring force and therefore slows down the vertical axis's return to the neutral position.
8. Ratcheting
Adjusts the ratcheting effect of the gimbal's vertical axis. When fully tightened, the ratcheting effect is at its maximum. When fully loosened, the vertical axis movement is smooth.
9. Vertical axis travel limiter
Adjusts the mechanical travel range limiter of the gimbal's whole vertical axis. By tightening the screw, the maximum deflection from the centre position can be set between 22.5° and 30°.
