Dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, not just a single (ex:channel 1) servo. For example, adjusting aileron dual rate will affect both aileron servos when usingFLAPERON or AIL-DIF, and both aileron and elevator servos’ travel when using AILEVATOR or ELEVONor a CCPM helicopter.Activation:• Any SWITCH, A-H. If you choose a 3-position switch, then that dual rate instantly becomes a triple rate.• The glider programming offers you the choice of Condition. This option allows you to have a separate ratefor each of condition. (GLID)• Stick position (ACRO GLID). (Ex: On rudder you normally use only the center 3/4 of the stickmovement except for extreme maneuvers such as snaps/spins/stalls. As long as your RUDDER STICK doesnot exceed 90% (ie. stall turn), the rudder goes to high rate's 90%, which is a MUCH higher amount of travelthan your low rate at 89%)Adjustability:](https://usermanual.wiki/Radiolink-Electronic/RL039AT9/User-Guide-2480870-Page-23.png)

Conversely, may also be used to go to neutral on all servos, hopefully keepingthe plane flying as long as possible.•Competition modelers often maintain the NOR function so that brief interference will not affect theirmodel's maneuver.•Set the throttle channel so that the engine idles when there is interference (ACRO). This may giveenough time to fly away 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/Sfunction for safety reasons.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 powerswitch and verifying that the servos move to the settings that you chose.

![30• MIX: When the TRAINER SWITCH is ON, the channel set to this mode can be controlled by both thestudent and the instructor, controlled according to any mixing set at the instructor's transmitter. And thestudent's mixing rate is adjustable. (Default 30%)[Note] However, it becomes invalid even if it sets up the channel which is not in a student's transmitter. Thechannel serves as operation by the instructor's transmitter automatically.• OFF: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student even when the TRAINERSWITCH is ON. The set channel is controlled by the instructor only, even when the TRAINER SWITCH isON.• SWITCH: controlled by spring-loaded SWITCH H only. Not assignable.• Compatibility: The AT10 may be master or student with any Radiolink transmitter compatible with thecord. Simply plug the optional trainer cord (For AT10 series, sold separately) into the trainer connection oneach transmitter, and follow the guidelines below.EXAMPLES:•When throttle/collective are set to FUNG, 5-channel helicopter practice is possible with a 4-channeltransmitter.• Set up the model in a second transmitter, use NORM mode to quickly and safely check proper operationof all functions, then allow the student radio to fully fly the model.• Using NORM mode, set lower throws, different exponentials, even different auxiliary channel settings onthe student radio (if it has these features).• To ease the learning curve, elevator and aileron may be set to the NORM or FUNC mode, with the otherchannels set to OFF and controlled by the instructor.NOTE:• NEVER turn on the student transmitter power.•ALWAYS set the student transmitter modulation mode to PPM.• BE SURE that the student and instructor transmitters have identical trim settings and control motions.Verify by switching back and forth while moving the control sticks.• FULLY extend the instructor's antenna.

![40ACRO GLIDFLAP-TRIM assigns the primary flaperon control [defaults to VR(A)] to allow trimming in flight of the flapaction of flaperons.Note: Even if FLAP-TRIM is made active with AIL-DIFF, it will not have any effect. The ONLYfunction that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AIL-DIFF configuration is AIRBRAKE. Mostmodelers use AIRBRAKE, or programmable mixes, to move the flaps to a specified position via movementof a switch.FLAP-TRIM may also be used as the primary flap control in flight. By doing so, you can assign CH6 to a3-position switch, with a "spoileron", neutral, and "flaperon" position, and even adjust the percentagetraveled as flaperon/spoileron by changing the Flap Trim travel.Goals Steps InputsAdd FLAP-TRIM toallow the model’s aileronsto be trimmed together asflaps at any time duringthe flight, with amaximum travel of 5% ofthe total flap travel set inFLAPERON.Open FLAP-TRIM function to BASIC again to ADVANCEto FLAP-TRIM.PUSH.The function is automatically activate with FLAPERON;however the defaulttravel is 0.Adjust the travel available tothe flaperons when turning theCH6 dial.to 5%Close3.3.5 AILE DIFF (ACRO/ GLID 2A+1F/ GLID 2A+2F)ACRO GLID(2A+1F)/GLID(2A+2F)Ailer differential is primarily used on 3 or 4-servo wings, with one servo operating inboard flap on CH6 orCH5 & CH6,and AILE-DIFF controlling proper aileron operation of 2 aileron servos, plugged into CH1 andCH7. The ailerons can not be moved like flaps when using AILE-DIFF, except if using AIRBRAKE. (Notethat even if you make FLAP-TRIM active while using AILE-DIFF, it will not have any effect. ONLYAIRBRAKE 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.

Lower the gain until the hunting stops.•The gyro will display best performance at a gain just before hunting occurs. Perform adjusting by flyingthe aircraft repeatedly.Precaution:•When taking off and landing, always switch to the Normal mode. Taking off and landing in the GY modeis dangerous.•We recommend that you use the rudder control gyro in the Normal mode. In the GY mode, rudder operationis necessary when turning because the weathervane effect is lost.

The features that are identical referback to the ACRO chapter. The glider BASIC menu includes MOTOR CUT and does not includeIDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT.○→Note: in all cases where ACRO programming labels channel 3 as throttle, GLID programming labelschannel 3 as ARB (airbrake), since airbrakes are normally operated on channel 3 in gliders.

![61Part. 5 HELICOPTER MODEL FUNCTIONSPlease note that nearly all of the BASIC menu functions are the same for airplane (ACRO setup), sailplane(GLID setups), and helicopter (HELI) setups. The features that are identical refer back to the ACRO chapter.5.1 BASIC SETTING WITH HELICOPTERThis guideline is intended to help you set up a basic (H-1) heli, to get acquainted with the radio, to giveyou a jump start on using your new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction on how to do even morewith this powerful system than you may have already considered.Briefly, the typical helicopter's controls are as follows:•Aileron: Changes cyclic lateral (roll). Roll the helicopter. Tilt the swash plate to the left or right CH1.•Elevator: Changes cyclic pitch. Change the helicopter’s angle of attack (nose up or nose down). Tilt theentire Swash plate fore and aft. CH2.•Rudder: Change the angle of the tail rotor and yaw the helicopter left or right. CH4.•Collective Pitch: Adjusts main rotor collective [angle of the paddles], changing the main blades’ pitch.Increased collective pitch (with throttle) causes the helicopter to rise. Moves in conjunction with throttle onthe THROTTLE STICK. CH6.•Throttle: Open/close carburetor. Move in conjunction with collective pitch on the THROTTLE STICK.CH3.•REVO: mix that adds rudder in conjunction with pitch. This helps compensate for rotation of thehelicopter caused by the increased engine torque. (Never use revo. mixing with a heading0hold/AVCS gyro;the gyro already does this.)Goals Steps InputsPrepare yourhelicopter.Install all servos, switches, receiver per your model's instructions. Set all trims, dials andsliders to neutral.Confirm all control linkages are 90 degrees (or per instructions ) from the servohorn to the ball link for proper geometry and that no slop is present.Mechanically adjust all linkages to get as close as possible to proper control throwsand minimize binding prior to radio set up.Select proper modetype for your model.Ex:HELI H-1In the BASIC menu,findPARAMETER.for 1s to BASIC.(If ADVANCE again) .to PARAMETER ,PUSHGo to MODEL TYPE. to MODEL TYPE,then to TYPE.Select proper mode type.Ex:HELI H-1.
