Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
Other than 2.4GHz system: Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.

transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times . Flying
behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested. Doing so may result in the reduction of the
quality of the radio frequency link to the model.
2.4GHz system: 'R QRW JUDVS WKH WUDQVPLWWHU PRGXOH V DQWHQQD GXULQJ IOLJKW Doing so may degrade the
quality of the radio frequency transmission.
2.4GHz system: As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the
sides of the 14CH transmitter module's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
AT10 is radio transmitters. When on, it sends radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The Wireless antenna is
located on the top of the device, see the EUT photo for more details. AT10 has been tested and meets the SAR(Specific
Absorption Rate) exposure requirements for transmitting.
AT10 is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United State. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to AT10 set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions specified by these agencies, with AT10 transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level in
each frequency band.
AT10 has been tested, and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for transmitting. When tested at direct body contact,
AT10âs maximum SAR value for each frequency band is outlined below: 0.011 W/kg 1g Body SAR

SWITCH ASSIGNMENT TABLE
⢠The factory default functions activated by the switches and knobs for a AT10 Mode 2 transmitter are shown below.
⢠Most AT10 functions may be reassigned to non-default positions quickly and easily.
⢠Basic control assignments of channels 5-10 are quickly adjustable in AUX-CH (see p. 46). For example, the channel 5
servo, which defaults to SWITCH E for retract use, can easily be unassigned (NULL) to allow for easy use as a second
rudder servo in a mix, or to a slider or dial for bomb door or other control.
⢠Note that most functions need to be activated in the programming to operate.
â˘AT10 Mode 1, transmitter functions are similar but reverse certain switch commands. Always check that you have
the desired switch assignment for each function during set up.

A QUICK GUIDE: GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC 4-CHANNEL AIRCRAFT
This guide is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and
to give you some ideas and direction in how to do even more than you may have already considered. It follows our basic
format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what we accomplish; a âby nameâ description of what we're
doing to help acquaint you with the radio; then a step-by-step instruction to leave out the mystery when setting up your
model.
For additional details on each function, see that function's section in this manual. The page numbers are indicated in the
goals column as a convenience to you.
See p.17 for a legend of symbols used.

you can accidentally delete all models in your radio with this function. Only a service center can completely reset your
radio's entire memory at once. To delete each model in your radio's memory (for example when selling), you must SELECT
each model, reset that memory, then go SELECT the next memory, etc.

(Each model memory may be set to a different model type.) If your transmitter is a AT10, the default is ACRO. If it is a
AT10, the default is HELI(H1).
ACRO is the best choice for most powered airplanes, but in some circumstances, GLID(2A+1F) may be a better choice. ACRO
is usually a better choice because of functions it offers that the GLID types do not:

Second aileron (AILE-2) (ACROGLID 1A+1FGLID 2A+1F only): changes the default choice for dual aileron servos from
channels 6 (FLAPERON) to channels 5 and 6, or 7(AIL-DIF ) to channels 5 and 7. This allows you to utilize these 2 great
functions while utilizing a 5-channel receiver.
NOTE: 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, see p. 42.
Adjustable travel limit (ATL): makes the channel 3 TRIM LEVER (THROTTLE TRIM) effective only at low throttle,
disabling the trim at high throttle. This prevents pushrod jamming due to idling trim changes. This function defaults to ON.
If you are not using channel 3 for throttle, you may want trim operation the same as on all other channels. To do so, set ATL
to OFF. If you need the ATL to be effective at the top of the stick instead of the bottom, reverse the THR-REV setting. Note
that this affects all models in the radio, not just the model you are currently editing. See servo REVERSE, p. 26.

Servo reversing (REVERSE): changes the direction an individual servo responds to a CONTROL STICK motion.

For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on SWASH AFR (p. 75) before reversing any servos.
26
Except with CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to
any other programming. If you use pre-built ACROGLID functions that control
multiple servos, such as FLAPERON or V-TAIL, it may be confusing to tell whether
the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed.
See the instructions for each specialized function for further details.

End Point of servo travel adjustment (END POINT, also called EPA): the most flexible version of travel adjustment
available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servoâs travel, rather than one setting for the servo that
affects both directions. Again, for CCPM helicopters, be sure to see SWASH AFR (see p. 73) prior to adjusting end points.
Adjustability:
⢠Can set each direction independently.
⢠Ranges from 0% (no servo movement at all) to 140%. At a 100% setting, the
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.

Adjust the linkage or the END POINT? It is nearly always best to adjust your linkages to get as close as possible prior to
utilizing END POINT. The higher the END POINT setting, the better position accuracy and the more servo power available
at nearly any position (except if using digital servos). Higher END POINT values also mean longer travel time to reach the
desired position, as you are utilizing more of the servo's total travel. (For example, using 50% END POINT would give you
only half the steps of servo travel, meaning every click of trim has twice the effect and the servo gets there in half the
time).
⢠end point (and moving the linkage) = torque, accuracy, but transit time to get there.
⢠end point (instead of adjusting linkages) = travel time, but torque, accuracy.

the default, being no SUB-TRIM.
We recommend that you center the digital trims before making SUB-TRIM
changes, and that you try to keep all of the SUB-TRIM values as small as
possible. Otherwise, when the SUB-TRIMs are large values, the servo's range
of travel is restricted on one side.
The recommended procedure is as follows:
⢠measure and record the desired surface position;
⢠zero out both the trims (TRIM RESET menu) and the SUB-TRIMs (this menu);

⢠The NOR (normal) setting holds the servo in its last commanded position.

⢠Competition modelers often maintain the NOR function so that brief interference will not affect their model's maneuver.

from and recover from the radio interference and minimize damage if crashed.
⢠For helicopters, NOR is typically the safest choice.
⢠We also recommend setting a gasoline engine's electronic kill switch to the OFF position in the F/S function for safety reasons.
Updating F/S Settings: If you specify a F/S setting, the FailSafe data is automatically transmitted once each two minutes.
(PCM) When you choose the F/S mode, check that your settings are as desired by turning off the transmitter power switch

throttle to a predetermined position. When the Battery F/S function is activated, your engine will move to idle (if you
haven't set a position) or a preset position. You should immediately land. You may temporarily reset the Battery F/S
function by moving the THROTTLE STICK to idle. You will have about 30 seconds of throttle control before the battery
function reactivates.
Adjustability:
⢠NOR F/S setting for throttle results in Battery F/S going to the servo position reached by moving THROTTLE STICK to
the bottom with TRIM LEVER centered;
⢠F/S position setting for throttle results in Battery F/S also going to the same throttle servo position as the regular F/S.
If using a 6V (5-cell) receiver battery, it is very likely that your battery will be rapidly running out of charge before
battery FailSafe takes over. It is not a good idea to count on battery FailSafe to protect your model at any time, but
especially when using a 5-cell battery.

Aircraft wing types (ACROGLID):
There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft 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 model (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and pitch control. see

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 aircraft snaps differently due to its C.G., control throws, moments, etc. Some models snap without aileron;
others snap on elevator alone. Most models snap most precisely with a combination of all 3 surfaces. Additionally, rate of
speed and acceleration when using the snap switch will affect how the model snaps. For information on using gyros with
airplanes for cleaner precision maneuvers, such as snaps and spins without over rotation, see p. 56.

⢠Safety Switch (SAFE-MOD): a safety may be set up on your landing gear SWITCH, preventing accidental snap rolls while
the landing gear is down. The safety switch is turned on and off with the landing gear SWITCH.
⢠ON: the safety mechanism is activated when the landing gear SWITCH is in the same position as at the time this
feature is changed to ON. Snap rolls will not be commanded even if the snap roll SWITCH is turned on with the
gear SWITCH in this position. When the landing gear SWITCH is moved to the opposite position, snap rolls may
be commanded.
⢠OFF: activates the safety mechanism in the opposite position from the ON function.
⢠FREE: the safety mechanism is completely turned off. Snaps can be commanded regardless of the gear SWITCH
POSITION.
Note: The location of the safety switch always follows channel 5. If channel 5 is reassigned to switch C, for
example, switch C is now the safety. If channel 5 is nulled or used as the second aileron servo, the safety function
will not be available.

MIXES: the backbone of nearly every function
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.
Types:
⢠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 channelâs range to do so. An example is FLAPERONZKHQDLOHURQVWLFNLVPRYHGWKHĂDSVHUYRLVWROG
to move exactly the same amount. A 50% linear mix would tell the slave servo, for example, to move to 50% of its range
when the masterâs control is moved 100%. (see p. 39.)
⢠Offset: An OFFSETPL[LVDVSHFLDOW\SHRIOLQHDUPL[:KHQWKHPL[LVWXUQHGRQ XVXDOO\DĂLSRIDVZLWFK WKHVODYH
servo is moved a set percent of its range. An example of this is AIRBRAKEPRYLQJĂDSVĂDSHURQVDQGHOHYDWRUDOOWRD
VHWSRVLWLRQDWWKHĂLSRIDVZLWFK VHHS49.)
⢠Curve: Curve mixes are mostly used in helicopters, but may also be used in airplanes and gliders. An example is
THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing, where the in-flight needleâs servo is moved, changing the mixture, as the throttle servo is
moved. (see p. 50.)
⢠Delay: Delay mixes are part of a few very special functions that make the servo move to its desired range more slowly.
THROTTLE DELAY (simulates turbine engines, p. 51) and the elevator delay in AIRBRAKE are two examples of this (see p. 48).
DELAY in HELI (see p. 82) is another example that slows the servo movement to the trim settings for the other conditions.

to use. Additionally, the AT10 ACRO and GLID programs both provide 4 linear and 4 curve fully-programmable mixes ( HELI
provides 4 linear and 2 curve) that allow you to set up special mixes to resolve flight difficulties, activate additional
functions, etc.
Letâs look quickly at a few examples that are features weâve already covered. This may help to clarify the mix types and
the importance of mixes.
Additional examples:
⢠Exponential is a preprogrammed curve mix that makes the servosâ response more (+) or less (-) sensitive around center
stick (works in conjunction with dual rate, a linear mix that adjusts the total range). see D/R,EXP, p. 30.
⢠IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT are two OFFSET pre-programmed mixes. These tell the throttle servo, when below a certain point,
to move toward idle an additional set percentage to help close the carburetor. see p. 28.

⢠THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing is a curve mix (like PROG.MIX 5 to 8 IRUSURSHULQĂLJKWQHHGOHVHWXS VHHS50.)
⢠THROTTLE DELAY mixing is a pre-programmed delay mix that slows down the response of the CH3 servo. (see p. 51.)
Next, we'll get an in-depth look at some pre-programmed mixes (PL[HV ZKRVH FKDQQHOV DUH SUHGHÂżQHGIRU simplicity

⢠Switch: Mix SWITCH is selectable.
*Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned. Set up LOGIC SW: See p. 26.
⢠Linear(Inversely proportional to THROTTLE STICK): provides a proportional increase in amount of AIRBRAKE
action as THROTTLE STICK is lowered and assigned switch is on. Provides gradually more AIRBRAKE as you slow
the engine. Includes selectable stick position where AIRBRAKE begins, gradually increasing to the same setting as the
THROTTLE STICK is lowered. If you would like to have the airbrake be directly proportional to throttle stick, you will
need to reverse the THR-REV function. Note that this changes the throttle stick direction for all models. See page 38 for
instructions.
⢠Offset: Provides AIRBRAKE response immediately upon switch movement, going to a pre-set travel on each active channel

⢠Twin aileron servos: If FLAPERON, ELEVON and AIL-DIFF functions are inhibited, then AIL1 and AIL2 settings will have no

⢠If FLAPERON is active, the travel of the ailerons can be independently adjusted for the servos plugged into CH1 and
&+7KHĂDSFKRLFHKDVQRHIIHFWRQWKHĂDSHURQV
⢠If AIL-DIFF is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
⢠Normally both ailerons are raised equally in AIRBRAKE, and the elevator motion is set to maintain trim when
the ailerons rise. Different amounts may be set for each aileron to correct for torque reactions and other unique
characteristics of the model.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in AIRBRAKEBUTTERFLY. Along with creating an
enormous amount of drag (desireble for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle of attack where
the ailerons are, and cncourages tip stalling. If you are using this for aerobatic performance and not "sudden stops",

⢠The CH8 knob adjusts the high throttle mixture (may be deactivated. see AUX-CH).
⢠Because both use CH8, this function cannot be used simultaneously with AILEVATOR.
⢠An acceleration (ACCE) function (ACRO only) helps the engine compensate for sudden, large amounts of throttle input by
making the mixture suddenly richer, then easing it back to the proper adjustment for that throttle setting. This function

⢠Separate curves are available (HELI only) for normal, idle-ups 1 and 2 combined, and idle-up 3. Immediately below MIX
the radio displays the curve you are editing; ex: >NORML; and then which condition is currently active by your switches
ex: (ID1/2). Note that you can edit the mix for a different condition without being in that condition, to allow editing
without having to shut off the helicopterâs engine every time. Be sure you are editing the proper curve by checking the

to about a one-second delay, while a 100% delay takes about eight seconds to
respond. For helicopters, see DELAYS, p. 82.

gyro mixing
Gyro operation modes:
The gyros have two operations modes: GY mode and STD mode.
â˘STD mode: This mode performs general proportional control operation. For instance, it controls the gyro so that
changes are countered when the attitude of the aircraft is changed by cross-wind, etc.
â˘GY mode: This mode performs both proportional and integrated control operation. The difference between Normal
mode and GY mode operation is that where as the Normal mode only counters changes in attitude, the GY mode
returns to the original controlled variable simultaneously with countering changes in attitude. For example, during

Adjustability:
⢠Plug the gyro's sensitivity adjustment to channel 5, 7, or 8 of the receiver.
(selectable)
⢠Full switch assignability (SWITCH A-H)
⢠Each rate setting may be set from 0 to NOR100% or AVC100% gain.
NOR: GY mode gain.
AVC: STD mode gain
⢠Larger percentages indicate more gain, or gyro responsiveness.
⢠MIX-1,2: Two surfaces' sensitivity can be adjusted independently.
56
Gyro gain adjustment:
⢠When the servo hunts, the gyro gain is too high. Lower the gain until the hunting stops.

repeatedly.
Precautions:
⢠When taking off and landing, always switch to the Normal mode. Taking off and landing in the GY mode is dangerous.
⢠We recommend that you use the rudder control gyro in the Normal mode. In the GY mode, rudder operation is
necessary when turning because the weathervane effect is lost. Use the gyro in the Normal mode unless you are an expert
in rudder operation.
⢠And we recommend that you also set to off (0%) mode for safety as follows.

GLIDER MODEL FUNCTIONS
Please note that nearly all of the BASIC menu functions are the same for airplane (ACRO setup), sailplane (GLID 1A+1F
2A+1F2A+2F setups), and helicopter (HELI setups). The features that are identical refer back to the ACRO chapter. The glider
BASIC menu includes MOTOR CUT and does not include IDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT.
Note that in all cases where ACRO programming labels channel 3 as throttle, GLID programming labels channel 3 as ARB
(airbrake), since airbrakes are normally operated on channel 3 in gliders. This includes STK-THR reading STK-ARB.

GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC 4-CHANNEL (Aileron/Flap/Rudder/Elevator) GLIDER
This guideline is intended to help you get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio,
and to give you some ideas and direction in how to do even more with this powerful system than you may have already
considered. It follows our basic format of all programming pages: a big picture overview of what weâre trying to
accomplish; a âby nameâ description of the steps to help acquaint you with the radio; and a step-by-step instruction to
leave out the mystery and challenge of setting up your model.

These additional flight conditions contain different offset trims to make the

Prior to setting up OFFSET, you must active the conditions and assign the

Unnecessary fusulage motion is generated when there are sudden changes in the servo position and variations in the
operating time between channels can be suppressed by using the delay function (-dly-).

⢠Inversely proportional to THROTTLE STICK: provides a proportional increase in amount of airbrake action as
THROTTLE STICK is lowered (when SWITCH A (assignable) is in down position). Includes selectable stick position
where airbrake begins. If you would like to have the airbrake be directly proportional to throttle stick, you will need
to reverse the THR-REV function. Note that this changes the throttle stick direction for all models. See page 26 for
instructions.
⢠Elevator settings: (adjustable in the B.FLY-ELE)
B.FLY-ELE works linking with BUTTERFLY function. Elevator rate is adjustable in a
3 point curve.

⢠Twin aileron servos: If AIL-DIFF function is inhibited, then AIL1 and AIL2 settings will have no effect.
⢠If AIL-DIFF is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
⢠Normally both ailerons are raised equally in BUTTERFLY, and the elevator motion is set to maintain trim when the ailerons
rise. Different amounts may be set for each aileron to correct for torque reactions and other unique characteristics of the
model.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in BUTTERFLY. Along with creating an enormous amount
of drag (desireble for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle of attack where the ailerons are, and
encourages tip stalling. If you are using this for aerobatic performance and not "sudden stops", consider raising the

GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC HELICOPTER
This guideline is intended to help you set up a basic (H-1) heli, to get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on
using your new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction on how to do even more with this powerful system than
you may have already considered. It follows our basic format of all programming pagesâa big picture overview of what
we're trying to accomplish; a âby nameâ description of the steps to help acquaint you with the radio; and then a step-bystep instruction to leave out the mystery and challenge of setting up your model.

is a AT10, the default is ACRO. If it is a 14CH, the default is HELI(H-1).
HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The AT10 radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" (H-1-most helicopters use this type) and 7 types
of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator
(cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the
3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious of
which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos
working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator movement) dramatically increases the torque available as
well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3, except off by 180 degrees. If your model's swashplate is off by
180 you will still use that swashplate type, but also use SWASH AFR to adjust the functions as needed until it operates
properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.

of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator
(cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the
3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious of
which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos
working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator movement) dramatically increases the torque available as
well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3, except off by 180 degrees. For example, the KyoshoÂŽ Caliber is
HR3 but with the 2 parallel servos to the rear of the helicopter, not front. If your model's swashplate is off by 180 degrees,
you will still use that swashplate type, but also use SWASH AFR (p.75) to adjust the functions as needed until it operates
properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.

(travel) of the aileron, elevator (except H-2 ) and collective pitch functions,
adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only
when using that function. Since these types utilize multiple servos together to
create the controls, simply adjusting a servo's REVERSE or END POINT would not
properly correct the travel of any one control. Since H-1 uses one servo for each
function, there is no need for AFR in H-1.
This is fairly hard to explain but easy to see, so let's set up KyoshoÂŽ Caliber's swashplate settings as an example. With
everything installed per factory instructions, set the model to HELI(HR3). Now let's adjust the swashplate properly.

operate backwards (reverse the whole function), or one servo operates backwards (reverse that servo alone).
Next check elevator. Remember, the aileron servo(s) operate correctly, so if elevator does not, we should only have 2
choices leftâthe whole function needs to be reversed, or the servo(s) not shared with aileron need to be reversed.
Last is collective. If aileron and elevator are working properly, the only thing that could be wrong is the whole direction
collective operates (reverse the whole function). In our example, HR3 is 180 degrees off from the swashplate of the Caliber.
Therefore, it is very likely that several functions will not operate properly. The collective pitch operation is backwards;
but reversing all three servos would also reverse the aileron and elevator operations. Changing the collective pitch rate,
however, from +50% to -50%, will reverse the collective pitch without affecting the aileron action.

Note that the normal throttle, pitch and revo curves are all available in the BASIC menu for simplicity. These may also be
updated later in the ADVANCE menu with the settings for the other 4 conditions [idle-up 1 (IDL1), idle-up 2 (IDL2) and idleup 3 (IDL3), plus throttle hold (HOLD)]. Note: The throttle and pitch curves for the normal condition are always on. They
cannot be inhibited. The other four conditions are activated with their throttle curves or throttle hold. For idle-ups, see p.
81. For throttle hold, see p. 79.
⢠THR-CURV/NOR: inputs the normal (NORM) throttle curve, which is usually not a linear response to THROTTLE STICK
motion. Adjusting point 4 of the curve adjusts the engineâs RPM at the THROTTLE STICK midpoint . the desired
position for hovering. The other 6 points are then adjusted to create the desired idle and maximum engine speed, and a
smooth transition in-between. For more on throttle curves, see p. 80.
⢠PIT-CURV/NOR: inputs the normal (NORM) collective pitch curve, the collective pitch curve for flight near hover. The
normal collective pitch curve is adjusted to match the throttle curve, providing the best vertical performance at a constant
engine speed, with a starting curve of .4 base, +5 neutral, and +8 to +10 degrees of blade pitch maximum*. You can
program the response over a 7-point curve for the best collective pitch angle relative to THROTTLE STICK movement.
For more on collective pitch curves, see p. 80
⢠REVO./NORM: mixes collective pitch commands to the rudder (a PITCH-RUDDER mix) to suppress the torque generated
by changes in the main rotor's collective pitch angle, keeping the model from yawing when throttle is applied.
NOTE: There are three revo. mixes available: normal (NORM LGOHXS IDL1/2), and idle-up 3 (IDL3). All 3 are

HELI-SPECIFIC ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS
THR-HOLD: This function holds the engine in the idling position and disengages it from the THROTTLE STICK when
SWITCH AT10 is moved. It is commonly used to practice auto-rotation.
Prior to setting up THR-HOLD, hook up the throttle linkage so that the carburetor
is opened fully at high throttle, then use the digital trim to adjust the engine idle
position. To have THR- HOLD maintain idle, move the THROTTLE STICK to the
idle position, then move the hold SWITCH on and off and keep changing the
offset value until the servo does not move. To lower the engine idle speed, or if
you want to shut off, input a more negative number.
Adjustability:
⢠Idling position: Range of -50% to +50% centered about the throttle idle position to get the desired engine RPM.
⢠Switch assignment: Assigned to SWITCH E(AT10) or G (AT10) down.
Adjustable in the CONDITION (THR-HOLD item).
(2-position type switch only)
⢠Throttle curve: Since the throttle is moved to a single preset position, no curve
is available for THR-HOLD.
⢠Collective pitch curve: Independent curve, typically adjusted to create a blade
pitch range of -4% to +10% to +12%, is automatically activated with THRHOLD.
⢠Revo. mix: Since revo. mix adjusts for torque from the engine, no revo. mix is available for THR-HOLD.
⢠Priority: The throttle hold function has priority over idle-up. Be sure that the throttle hold and idle-up SWITCHES are
in the desired positions before trying to start the engine. (We recommend starting your engine in throttle hold for safety
reasons.)
⢠Gyro: Gyro programming includes an option to have a separate gyro setting for each condition, including THR-HOLD.
This avoids the potential problem of the user being in the wrong gyro setting when going to THR-HOLD, resulting in an
improper rudder offset and the model pirouetting.

THR-CURVE and PIT-CURVE: These 7-point curves are utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for
consistent load on the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, idle-up 2, and idle-up 3. In addition,
a separate collective pitch curve is available for throttle hold. Sample curves are displayed in the appropriate setup types (ex:

Revo. mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the clockwise direction
when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite. Change the operating direction setting by
changing the signs of the numbers in the curve from plus (+) to minus (-) and vice versa. Suggested defaults:
Clockwise rotation: -20, -10, 0, +10, +20% from low throttle to high.
Counterclockwise rotation: +20, +10, 0, -10, -20% from low throttle to high.
Adjust to the actual values that work best for your model.
Revo. curves for idle-ups are often v-shaped to provide proper rudder input with negative pitch and increased throttle

⢠Both adjustments may be inhibited if not desired.
⢠Both adjustments may also be set to NULL, temporarily turning off the knob but maintaining the last memorized setting.
⢠Adjustments may be memorized and then the knobs returned to center point to use that amount of adjustment. Allows
easy use of the trimming knobs for multiple models. (Note that when memorization is repeated with the knob offset from
center, the trim value accumulates.)
⢠Adjustments are quickly reset to the initial value by turning the dial until the trim reads 0%, memorizing, then returning
the knob to its center position.
⢠Note that all functions, including these, assume the model hovers at half stick.
⢠Available in normal (NORM RUQRUPDOLGOHXS NORM/IDL1) condition only.
