Detail in Twin Aileron Servos, Twin Elevator Servos, ELEV-FLAP mix and V-tail) •glider: Different tail type (detail in glider type) •helicopter: 8 swash plate types (detail in helicopter type) Caution: decide a model type for the model plane.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com channels 5 and 7. This allows you to utilize these 2 great functions while utilizing 5-channel receiver. Caution: Changing AILE-2 only tells the system which servos to utilize if FLAPERON or AIL-DIF is activated. You still must activate that function and complete its setup for details on twin aileron servos, including using AILE-2. (Only for glider 1A+1F) if the channel 3 is set as the second aileron, the receiver F/S will become invalid.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Throw of the servo is approximately 40°for channels 1-4 and approximately 55°for channels 5-8. • Reducing the percentage settings reduces the total servo throw in that direction. Examples: • Adjust the throttle high end to avoid binding at the carburetor, and low end to allow for proper carburetor closure. • END POINT may be adjusted to 0 to keep a servo from moving one direction, such as flaps not intended to also operate as spoilers.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com SUB-TRIM settings and the trim STEP rate are not reset by this command. (2) Trim step (STEP): changes the rate at which the trim moves when the TRIM LEVER is activated. It may be set from 1 to 40 units, depending on the characteristics of the MULTIROTOR. Most ordinary MULTIROTOR do well at about 2 to 10 units. Generally larger trim steps are for models with large control throws or for first flights to ensure sufficient trim to properly correct the model.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 2.3.6 Servo Reversing (REVERSE): Changes the direction an individual servo responds to a CONTROL 【REVERSE】 STICK motion. Caution : Since channel 9 and 10 are switch only, its servo REVERSE is in the AUX-CH control screen with its switch assignment. Be sure to read the section on SWASH AFR before reversing any servos. Except with CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Adjustability: • Range: 0 - 140% (0 setting would deactivate the control completely.) Initial value=100% • Adjustable for each direction (ACRO/ GLID) (i.e. Up/down, left/right) (Ex: Most models fly upright without any elevator trim, but require some down elevator when inverted just to maintain level flight. By increasing the down travel by the amount required to hold the model inverted, the model now has equal travel available from level upright or level inverted.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Special note for helicopters: Helicopter model types have just a single rate for each switch position rather than a rate for each side of the servo's travel per switch position. Additionally, setting the D/R, EXP for each switch position requires cursor back to the No. setting and changing the switch position here.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Optional: except using a switch, to SWA to AILE(90%),PUSH you can set high rates to be triggered when the stick moves to D/R past a certain point. To test this, AILERON STICK to 25% set aileron high rate to 25%.Now AILERON STICK to 25% set switch assignment to AIL AILERON STICK and watch screen (90%). Move AILERON STICK to the right and notice the huge graph.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com *Also LOGIC SW(Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned. ** Normally, a setting of 10-20% is sufficient. Viewing the carburetor barrel until it fully closes is adequate to get an approximate setting; then test with engine running to confirm. GLIDER Provides an easy way to stop the engine by flipping a switch no matter where the air brake stick is. The movement of servo will be -30%. Now you must select switch position and direction.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com get to SWITCH C center and down. This works well with THR-CUT also on SWITCH C down. The SWITCH C up is normal flight/starting, center for slower maneuvers/landing, and down to cut the engine. If you assign IDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT to the spring-loaded TRAINER SWITCH H or F, then use the trainer function, you may risk loss of throttle control or dead stick for your student. Goals Steps Inputs Open BASIC menu,open IDLE DOWN for 1s .(If ADVANCE again) .

(Except 2.4GHz) • When the TRAINER function is active, the snap roll function is deactivated. Other functions, such as IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT, which have been assigned to the same switch, are not deactivated. Always double check your function assignments prior to utilizing the TRAINER function.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com The servo submenu includes two features: • Real-time bar-graph display to demonstrate exactly what commands the transmitter is sending to the servos. (This can be particularly handy in setting up models with complicated mixing functions, because the results of each stick, lever, knob, switch input and delay circuit may be immediately seen.) • Servo cycle function to help locate servo problems prior to in-flight failures.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Part 3. ACRO ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS 3.1 AIRPLANE WING TYPES (ACRO/GLID): There are 3 basic wing types in MULTIROTOR models: • Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail. This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming. • Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. See TWIN AILERON SERVOS. • Tail-less models (flying wing).
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com • Also allows aileron differential in its own programming (instead of activating AIL-DIFF). • Uses CH7 for the 2nd servo (see AIL-2 use CH5) • Leaves CH5 & CH6 free for flap operation, such as FLAPERON and flap action together, in AIRBRAKE. • Allows for more up aileron travel than down for straighter rolls. You will need to choose which of FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF is better for your model's setup.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 3.3 ACRO ADVANCE FUNCTION MENU Mixes are special programs within the radio that command one or more channels to act together with input from only one source, such as a stick, slider or knob. There are a variety of types of mixes: TYPE: • Linear: Most mixes are linear. A 100% linear mix tells the slave servo to do exactly what the master servo is doing, using 100% of the slave channel’s range to do so.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com AT9S contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer #5-8’s mixing RATE are set with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing. See CURVE MIXES There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here. All of the adjustable parameters are listed below, but don’t let them scare you.

Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com The FLAPERON mixing function uses one servo on each of the two ailerons, and uses them for both aileron and flap function. For flap effect, the ailerons raise/lower simultaneously. Of course, aileron function (moving in opposite directions) is also performed. Note: When changing the polarity of a rate, "change rate dir?" is displayed for a check. Please set up after pressing DIAL for 1 second and canceling an alarm display.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com ACRO GLID FLAP-TRIM assigns the primary FLAPERON control [defaults to VR(A)] to allow trimming in flight of the flap action of FLAPERON. Note: Even if FLAP-TRIM is made active with AIL-DIFF, it will not have any effect. The ONLY function that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AIL-DIFF configuration is AIRBRAKE. Most modelers use AIRBRAKE, or programmable mixes, to move the flaps to a specified position via movement of a switch.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com controls the ailerons as flaps in the AILE-DIFF configuration.) Note: When changing the polarity of a rate in camber-flap, "change rate dir?" is displayed for a check. Please set up after pressing DIAL for 1 second and canceling an alarm display. (GLID only) • FLAP function allows you to set up 1 or 2 servos for flap action. • The separate AILE-DIFF settings for each condition can be set.

Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 3.3.8 Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO): Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. (Flying wings without a separate aileron control use ELEVON. [AILVATOR] MIX:INH V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL, ADVANTAGE: •Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 3.3.9 Snap Rolls (ACRO) This function allows you to execute snap rolls by flipping a switch, providing the same input every time. It also removes the need to change dual rates on the 3 channels prior to performing a snap, as SNAP-ROLL always takes the servos to the same position, regardless of dual rates, inputs held during the snap, etc. Note: Every MULTIROTOR snaps differently due to its C.G., control throws, moments, etc.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Optional: Activate SAFE-MOD.(Ex: ON when Sw E or Sw G is down, meaning snap function is deactivate when that switch is in the down position) Optional: Assign switches up/down and left/right.(Ex: Change to the left/down snap and adjust rudder to 105%) E or G to UP position to SAFE-MODE.PUSH. to ON. snap switch NOTE: MIX is OFF.

Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com Before doing anything else to set up a glider or sailplane, first you must decide which MODEL TYPE best fits your MULTIROTOR. • GLID(1A+1F): The GLID (1A+1F) MODEL TYPE is intended for sailplanes with one or two aileron servos (or none), and a single flap servo (or two connected with a y-connector). This TYPE is meant to be a very simplistic version to set up a basic glider without a lot of added features. Additional flight condition is available.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 4.3.3 V-TAIL (FIND IN ACRO FUNCTION MENU 3.3.10) 4.3.4 OFFSET (GLID 2A+2F): Additional flight conditions are available specifically for sailplanes. These additional flight conditions contain different offset trims to make the sailplane perform certain maneuvers more easily. Aileron differential functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition selected.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 4.3.5 START DELAY (GLID 1A+1F only): START DELAY automatically switch the offset trims (OFFSET) from the START condition's trims to the normal condition’s trims after proceeding the delay time (max.10sec.) which is set by the -DLY- item when activating the START condition. (It is convenient for hand launch glider.) Note: The same delay amount for elevator and rudder is recommended when using V-tail function. ADJUSTABILITY: • Delay time (-DLY-) range of 0 to 100%.
