TELEMETRY : GPS [SPEED] The speed screen displays and sets the speed data from an SBS-01G (GPS sensor) sold separately. The speed of the aircraft during flight can be displayed. After flight, the maximum speed during flight can be viewed. Because this speed is based on position data from a GPS satellite, the ground speed is displayed instead of air speed. Consequently, with a head wind, the displayed speed decreases and with a tail wind, the displayed speed increases. Displaying data from the speed *A GPS sensor must be installed in the aircraft. *The GPS sensor is necessary, and is sold separately. Mount and connect the sensor in accordance with the sensor instruction manual. *It cannot be used in FASST mode and S-FHSS mode. *Only receiver voltage and EXT voltage can be used in FASSTest12CH mode. *The FASSTest18CH mode can use all the telemetry functions. ● The maximum and the minimum when powering ON are shown. It will be preset, if a cursor is moved to this place and the RTN button is pushed for 1 second. ●This indicates the receiving accuracy from a GPS Satellite.

(To terminate the input and return to the original state, touch the Home/Exit button.) *Speed alarm precaution Since the GPS speed sensor displays the ground speed, it cannot be used as a stall alarm. For example, an aircraft that stalls at 50km/h will stall if the tailwind is 5km/h or greater even through 55km/h is displayed by ground speed. In addition, with an aircraft that will disintegrate in midflight at 400km/h at an over-speed alarm, when the headwind reaches 30km/h the airplane will disintegrate in midair due to over speeding even at a ground speed of 370km/h.

The function and rate of each channel can be set, the training method can also be matched to the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructors’ transmitter should be programmed for trainer operation, as described below. When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/ FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor can make corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the Instructor regains control. This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft into an undesirable situation. ● Setting data are stored to model data. ● Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/ NORM mode. ● Activated student channels can be selected by switches. NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner; 1. With the T18SZ transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different, it is necessary to match the channel order before using this function. You can select the channel of input data from student's transmitter in the "FUNC" or "MIX" mode. 2. When the T18SZ is used as the instructor’s transmitter, set the modulation mode of the student’s transmitter to PPM. If being used as the student, T18SZ can be connected to the instructor's transmitter which the PPM mode as the student's modulation mode is required. T18SZ always sends PPM mode signal from the trainer jack. (In the case of student's transmitters other than 2.4 GHz) 3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in both transmitters before flying.

Before setting the model data, use the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu to select the model type matched to the fuselage. When another model type is selected thereafter, the AFR, program mixing, and other setting data are reset. The functions in the Model Menu can be set for each flight condition. When you want to use the system by switching the settings for each condition by switch, stick position, etc., use the Condition ● Select the [MODEL] at the home screen and call the model menu shown below by touching the RTN button. ● Use the touch sensor to select the function you want to set and call the setup screen by touching the RTN button. Select function to add flight conditions. (Up to 8 conditions can be used) Note: The T18SZ is designed so that the airplane and glider (including EP glider) model types are compatible with aircraft of similar type wings. This section outlines the relationship between the functions common to airplanes and gliders, except some dedicated functions, and model type. The setting items depend on the number of servos and other differences according to the wing type used, but reread them. The setup screens in the instruction manual are typical examples. (Model Menu screen example) *The Model Menu screen depends on the model type. This screen is for model type 4AIL+4FLP. ● Select the [MODEL MENU] and return to the home screen by touching the RTN button or pushing the Home/Exit button.

(For more information, see the description at the back of this manual.) AFR The angle and curve of each operation function can be set. [All model types] AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point has defined the maximum throw. When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function. ● Operation curve adjustment: Three types of curves (EXP1, EXP2, and POINT) can be selected. A maximum 17 points curve can be used for the point curve type. (Initial setting: 9 points) The number of points can also be increased and decreased and curves from complex curves to simple curves can be used. ● Operation speed adjustment: The operation speed of each function when the function is operated (including at flight condition switching) can be adjusted.

MIXES Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types] Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control configurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave." You may choose to have the Master's trim added to the Slave channel response ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the EXP1/EXP2/POINT modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching mixes. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to have mixing remaining on all the time. Mixing ON/OFF delay time can be adjusted. The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for Master and Slave channel individually. The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and D/R settings are observed when Link function is set. The knob for fine tuning can be set up for every mixing circuit. (Fine tune function) The programmable mixing (in mixing mode) STK to STK mixing function can be used even when the Master is a stick or other hardware. ● Select [PROG.

V-tail is when 2 servos are used together to control rudder movement as elevators.

Ailevator is where each elevator in a standard (conventional) or v-tail moves independently, like ailerons on a wing. In addition to each elevator side moving up and down together, each side moves in opposite directions when moving as an ailevator. On a V-tail, this is also known as a ruddervator, as they can serve the same purpose. Typically, both ailevator and ailerons are coupled together to maximize roll performance, especially on larger wingspan planes. Note: Select ailevator as the Model type at the Model type screen.

WINGLET [Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, winglet This function adjusts the left and right rudder angles of airplanes with winglets. Winglets are used to improve the efficiency of aircraft lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension at the tips of each wing. Winglets work by increasing the effective aspect ratio wing without adding greatly to the structural stress and hence necessary weight of its structure - an extension of wing span would also permit lowering of induced drag, though it would cause parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength of the wing and hence its weight - there would come a point at which no overall useful saving would be made. A winglet helps to solve this by effectively increasing the aspect ratio without adding to the span of the wing.
