Page 4SaFETy anD USagE PREcaUTiOnSgEnERaL SaFETylBe certain to read this Operating Manual in its entirety.l'Safety First' for yourself, for others, and for your equipment.lObserve all the rules of the ying site or anywhere you operate your radio control equipment.lIf at any time during the operation of your model should you feel or observe erratic operation or abnormality, end your operation as quickly and safely as possible. DO NOToperate your model again until you are certain the problem has been corrected. TAKE NO CHANCES.lYour model can cause serious damage or injury, so please use caution and courtesy at all times.lDo not expose the radio control system to water or excessive moisture.lPlease waterproof the receiver and servos by placing them in a water-tight radio box when operating model boats.lIf you have little to no experience operating models, we strongly recommend you seek the assistance of experienced modelers or your local hobby shop for guidance.lThe low voltage alarm will sound when the transmitter battery voltage drops to 6.7 volts. If this occurs, stop using the transmitter as soon as possible, then replace or recharge the transmitter batteries.TRanSMiTTER PREcaUTiOnSlTurn the transmitter ON rst, then turn the receiver ON. After using your model, turn the receiver OFF rst, then turn the transmitter OFF. It can be dangerous if you activate the components in reverse order as the servos may start up inadvertently.lBefore use, double-check that the transmitter and receiver batteries have sufcient power and/or are sufciently charged (if using Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries).lNever touch the transmitter antenna during use. Doing so may cause loss of transmitter output, making it impossible to control your model.lThe transmitter antenna should be rotated and angled so that the antenna is as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible during use. After use, to prevent any chance of damaging the antenna, the antenna should be rotated and moved into the horizontal stowed position.lDo not expose the transmitter to excessive heat, moisture, fuel, exhaust residue, etc.lDo not expose the transmitter to excessive heat or direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight can damage the LCD.lDo not press the Bind Button during use. The signal is interrupted while the Bind Button is pressed. It may also require a short time to restore the signal after releasing the Bind Button, which can be dangerous.ONOFFKeep AntennaPerpendicularto GroundDo Not Expose to Moistureor Direct Sunlight2.4ghz FREqUEncy BanD PREcaUTiOnSlThe 2.4GHz frequency band may be used by other devices, and other devices in the immediate area may cause interference on the same frequency band. Always before use, conduct a bench test to ensure that the servos operate properly. Also, conduct a range check at the area of operation to ensure that the radio control system has complete control of the model at the farthest reaches of the operational area.lThe response speed of the receiver can be affected if used where multiple 2.4GHz transmitters are being used, therefore, carefully check the area before use. Also, if response seems slow during use, discontinue use as quickly as possible.lIf the 2.4GHz frequency band is saturated (too many transmitters on at once), as a safety precaution, the radio control system may not bind. This ensures that your radio control system does not get hit by interference. Once the frequencies have been cleared, or the saturation level has dropped, your radio control system should be able to bind without any problems.lObserve any applicable laws and regulations in place at your ying site when using the 2.4GHz radio control system.lUnlike frequency bands used with earlier radio control systems, reception with this 2.4GHz radio control system can be adversely affected by large obstructions and concrete or steel structures between your model and the transmitter. Also, wire mesh and similar barriers can adversely affect operation. Keep this mind to ensure the safety of your model.This radio control system operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. The 2.4GHz connection is determined by the transmitter and receiver pair. Unlike ordinary crystal-based systems, your model can be used without frequency control.

Page 5SaFETy anD USagE PREcaUTiOnSlThe receiver antenna wires consist of two coaxial cables and two reception wires (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cables). When you mount the receiver antenna wires, do not bend the reception wires. Reception performance decreases if the reception wires are bent.lThe receiver antenna wires are delicate, therefore, handle with care. Do not pull on the receiver antenna wires with force. Do not cut or extend the receiver antenna wires. lThe coaxial cables can be bent into gentle curves, however, do not bend the coaxial cables acutely, or repeatedly bend them, or the antenna cores can be damaged.lWhen installed in an electric-powered model, keep the receiver antenna wires as far away as possible from the motor, battery, and electronic speed control (ESC).lThere is a danger of runaway operation if connectors shake loose during use. Make sure that the receiver, servo(s), and switch harness connectors are securely tted.lThe receiver is susceptible to vibration and moisture. Take appropriate measures to protect against vibration and moisture. The receiver should be wrapped in foam and the foam should be secured around the receiver to hold it in place. The foam should not be secured too tightly or the vibration dampening quality will be reduced. Failure to take appropriate measures could result in damage to the receiver.lWhen installing the receiver, the antenna reception wires (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cables) should not come into contact with any carbon or metal components (conductive components). Aircraft fuselages and helicopter frames may contain conductive components. If mounting the receiver surrounded by conductive materials (for example, a carbon ber fuselage), mount the receiver so that the antenna reception wires can be extended outside of the model. Reception can be blocked if the antenna reception wires are shielded inside a carbon ber fuselage.lThe manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for damages resulting from use of components other than genuine Airtronics components.It is extremely important to install the receiver and route the receiver antenna wires correctly in your model. This will ensure that your model receives control signals no matter what its posture, attitude, or heading.

The connectors are rugged, but should be handled with care.When unplugging the servo connector, it's best not to pull on the servo wire itself. This could result in damage to the servo wire pins in the plastic plug. Always grasp the plastic connector itself.SERvO cOnnEcTORS- = Negative (Black)+ = Positive (Red)S = Signal (Blue)The TM-160 transmitter is equipped with several safety alarms to warn you of an abnormal transmitter condition.TRanSMiTTER aLaRMSLow Voltage AlarmThe TM-160 transmitter is equipped with a Low Voltage Alarm to warn you when the transmitter batteries need to be replaced or recharged. The Low Voltage Alarm will sound when the transmitter batteries reach 6.7 volts. If the Low Voltage Alarm sounds while you are ying, you should land immediately, then replace or recharge the transmitter batteries. If the Low Voltage Alarm sounds after replacing or recharging the transmitter batteries, there may be a problem with the transmitter. If this occurs, please contact Airtronics Customer Service using the information on the back cover of this Operating Manual.Flight Mode Warning AlarmThe TM-160 transmitter is equipped with a safety feature that will not allow you to use the transmitter if the Flight Mode is not set to FN (Normal) when you turn the transmitter ON. If the Flight Mode is not set to FN when you turn the transmitter ON, the Flight Mode Warning alarm will sound continuously, the RF Output Indicator will ash, and the LCD will read F-MODE NOT 'N' ! To clear the Flight Mode Warning, set the Flight Mode to FN using the Flight Mode Switches (move both Flight Mode switches forward). The LCD will read normally, the Flight Mode Warning alarm will cease, and RF Output Indicator will stop ashing.GENERAL

Page 11qUick-STaRT BaSic MODEL SETUPThe information in this section describes the basic steps that you can use to quickly setup a new model. Regardless of the model you are fying, using the basic functions of the TM-160transmitter for most applications is easy and will get your model setup quickly. It's a simple ve-step process.1) Bind the Receiver to the Transmitter and Install the Receiver:lAfter connecting your airborne components and installing fully-charged transmitter and receiver batteries, turn the transmitter ON.lHold down the Bind Button on the receiver. While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver ON. lRelease the Bind Button on the receiver. The Bind LED will slowly ash.lPress the transmitter Bind Button. The receiver's Bind LED will ash rapidly, then the receiver's Bind LED will turn solid blue indicating the system is paired.lInstall the receiver in your model, making sure that the two receiver antenna wires are mounted 90º to each other.lRotate the transmitter antenna so that it is positioned at a 45º angle toward you.2) Choose a Model Type:l Navigate to the TYPE menu, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to select the Model Type that matches yourmodel, either AERO (Aircraft) or HELI (Helicopter).3) Make Model Type Selection Options:lScroll down to choose the various options related to the Model Type you've chosen.AERO - Select what type of wing (Normal or Delta), the type of tail (Normal, V-Tail, or Dual Elevator servos), and the number of aileron servos in your wing (1 or 2).HELI - Select what type of swashplate your model features, either Normal, or a CCPM swashplate. If choosing a CCPM swashplate option, make sure that the CCPM swashplate type matches your model exactly. lAfter making your selections, press the ENTER key, then the INC+/M1 key. The pre-programmed model template will be loaded into the transmitter.4) Name Your Model:lNavigate to the MODEL NAME menu and input a name for your model. This will allow you to easily choose this model again for later use. The Model Name will be displayed on the Display screen so that you know which model is currently in use.5) Plug In Servos and Setup Control Surfaces:lNavigate to the SX MONITOR menu and use the information displayed on the Servo Monitor to plug your servos into the correct channel slots in the receiver based on the Model Type selection options you chose previously.lNavigate to the REVERSE, CENTER, EPA, and D/R & EXPO menus to adjust direction of servo travel (REVERSE), servo centering sub-trim (CENTER), desired servo travel in both directions (EPA), and if desired, the Dual Rate and Exponential (D/R & EXPO) percentage values.Many of the Tips and Suggestions on the following pages can be found throughout this Operating Manual, however, we have listed what we feel are the more important ones in this section for your convenience. TiPS anD SUggESTiOnSFEaTURES FaMiLiaRizaTiOnThe information in this section is general in nature. For more in-depth instructions about the individual steps outlined below, please make sure to read the pertinent sections of this Operating Manual.lWhen you see in the lower right corner of a page, this indicates that the current section is continued at the top of the next page.lThe receiver’s nominal input voltage is 4.8 volts to 6.0 volts. If your receiver battery's nominal voltage rating is greater than 6.0 volts, you must use a voltage regulator plugged between the switch harness and the receiver battery to drop your battery's voltage to 6.0 volts.GENERAL

Page 12FEaTURES FaMiLiaRizaTiOnTiPS anD SUggESTiOnS, cOnTinUED....lAn after-market peak-detection charger, cycler, or fast charger should NOT be used to charge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries through the transmitter. The circuitry within the transmitter can interfere with the peak-detection charger's normal operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries, and possibly the transmitter itself. In addition, a fast charger can damage the transmitter's circuitry. These chargers can be used, but ONLY if the batteries are charged outside of the transmitter.lUp to 6 servos can be plugged into the receiver separately. To utilize the Channel 6/BATT slot along with the receiver battery, you must plug a Y-Harness into the channel slot, then plug the servo into one side of the Y-Harness and the battery switch harness into the other side of the Y-Harness.lIt is extremely important that the receiver antenna wires be mounted as described. This will ensure that your model receives control signals no matter what its posture, altitude, or heading.lThe radio control system is range checked using the Low-Power Mode function. Do not attempt to y with the transmitter in Low-Power Mode. You will be unable to control your model once it is a certain distance away from you.lThe TM-160 transmitter features a Type function which allows you to quickly set up the transmitter's low-level mixing based on the type of model you're ying. Common templates for AERO (Aircraft) and HELI (Helictopter) model types are provided. For example, if your model features two aileron servos and dual elevator servos, choosing these options will automatically change the transmitter's programming to accommodate this setup. This takes the guess-work out of setting up more complex models.lThe TM-160 transmitter features an audible Flight Mode Warning alarm. If you turn your TM-160transmitter ON and it beeps, the transmitter is more than likely in Flight Mode F1 or Flight Mode F2. Putting the transmitter in Flight Mode FN (Normal), will silence the Flight Mode Warning alarm.lIn the default conguration, the Model Select List contains 5 AERO model types and 5 HELI model types. The Model Type for any of the 10 models in the Model Select List can be changed using the Type menu.lThe Direct Model Select function allows you to select one of three of your most-used models from memory without going through the Model Select menu. This makes it much quicker and easier to load the programming for your three favorite models.lPressing both the INC+/M1 and DEC-/M2 keys together will Reset the highlighted programming selection to the Factory Default Setting. lWhen the Display screen is displayed, pressing the INC+/M1 key will Start and Stop the Timer. Pressing the INC+/M1 and DEC-/M2 keys together will Reset the Timer.lUnless otherwise noted, all programming changes take effect immediately. lAn audible double-tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. This allows you to know when the trim switches reach the center position without the need to look at the Trim Indicators on the Display screen.lThe TM-160 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of control surface trim that you set during fight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and for that specic model. The Digital Trim values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON.lThere is always one Flight Mode Active at all times. In the default conguration, Flight Mode FN (Normal) is Active.lThe F-MODE key is used to facilitate programming the individual Flight Modes only and does not turn the Flight Modes ON or OFF. Flight Modes are turned ON and OFF using the two Flight Mode switches.lPrior to takeoff, check the position of the Dual Rate switch to ensure that it is in the position you want.lUse the Servo Monitor to determine which receiver channel slots to plug your servos into. The channels displayed on the Servo Monitor will vary based on the Model Type selection options chosen in the TYPE menu. For example, if you chose TAIL>2xELand AILE>2 in the TYPE menu, LE (Left Elevator), RE (Right Elevator), LA (Left Aileron), and RA (Right Aileron) will be displayed along with the corresponding receiver channel slot numbers.lMany menu functions feature Common or Separate choices. When set to COMMON the function settings will be the same regardless of which Flight Mode the transmitter is operating in. When set to SEPARATE, you can program different function settings separately for each Flight Mode.lWhen setting up a CCPM swashplate helicopter, you may want to use the CP-EPA function instead of the standard EPAfunction. The CCPM End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction for the elevator, aileron, and pitch servos independently. Unlike the standard End Point Adjustment function, which affects all the cyclic servos, CCPM End Point Adjustment allows you to adjust each cyclic servo independently without any affect on the other cyclic servos. This allows you to also quickly and easily level the swashplate.

Page 13SySTEM cOnnEcTiOnSUse the diagram below to familiarize yourself with how to connect the switch harness, servos (available separately), and receiver battery (available separately) to your 92224 (RX600) 6-Channel receiver.A receiver battery is not included. The receiver can be powered by a 4.8 volt (4 cell) or a 6.0 volt (5 cell) Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery of desired capacity. The receiver can also be powered by a 2 cell Li-Fe/A123 or a 2 cell Li-Po battery of desired capacity as long as you use a voltage regulator. See WARNING below.WARNING The receiver’s nominal input voltage is 4.8 volts to 6.0 volts. If your receiver battery's nominal voltage rating is greater than 6.0 volts, you must use a voltage regulator plugged between the switch harness and the receiver battery to drop your battery's voltage to 6.0 volts. If you do not use a voltage regulator, damage to the receiver could result. We recommend a switching type regulator and it must be able to handle the amperage demands of the servos used in your model.If you decide to power the receiver using a 2 cell Li-Fe/A123 battery or a 2 cell Li-Po battery, please observe the following:lUse ONLY a 2 cell Li-Fe or Li-Po battery of desired capacity with a voltageregulator. You MUST use a voltage regulator.lWhen changing the plug on your battery to be compatible with the switch harness, please observe correct polarity. Connecting with reverse polarity could damage the switch harness and/or the receiver. See plug polarity diagram above.lObserve all safety precautions provided with your battery before use, during use, and during the charging process.WARNING The nominal voltage rating of a 2 cell Li-Fe/A123 battery or a 2 cell Li-Po battery is greater than 6.0 volts. Because of the higher voltage, you MUST use a voltage regulator plugged between the switch harness and the receiver battery to drop the battery voltage to 6.0 volts.

In addition, this charger can also be used to recharge a 4.8v (4 cell) or 6.0v (5 cell) rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH receiver battery pack at the same time. We recommend one of the following receiver battery packs:Hi-Energy 4.8v 2200mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable Flat Battery Pack for Receiver (1 PC.)Hi-Energy 6.0v 2200mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable Flat Battery Pack for Receiver (1 PC.)Warnings About Charging the Transmitter and Receiver BatteriesThe TM-160 transmitter features a Charging Jack located on the right side of the transmitter, allowing you to recharge the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries without removing them from the transmitter. Use ONLY the recommended optional Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger or damage to the transmitter and/or batteries could result.WARNING Do NOT attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries. Do NOT attempt to charge any type of batteries other than those recommended and use ONLY the recommended charger. Do not use the Charging Jack with any other after-market fast charger or Peak-Detection charger or the transmitter could be damaged.Charging the Transmitter and Receiver Batteries 1) Plug the Airtronics 95034 110V AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger into a 110v AC wall socket.2) Plug the round connector from the charger into the Charging Jack in the transmitter and plug the female connector from the charger into the switch harness charge plug. The charger LEDs will illuminate red, indicating that the charger is charging.3) Both transmitter and receiver charger outputs are 150mAh, therefore, it will take approximately 15 hours to recharge fully-discharged 2200mAh batteries (2200/150=14.6). Charge time will vary depending on the mAh capacity of the batteries you're charging. For example, 1200mAh batteries would require an 8 hour charge (1200/150=8).lAlways follow the charging procedures described below to ensure the safe and correct use of the rechargeable batteries and charger.lBefore charging the batteries, double-check that both the transmitter and the receiver are turned OFF.lOvercharging reduces the life of the batteries and can result in overheating and bursting. This may cause personal injury and/or property damage.lDo not plug the recommended charger into anything other than an AC 110v power outlet. Plugging the charger into anything other than AC 110v outlet may result in smoking, sparks, or re.lDo not throw the batteries or abuse them in any manner. Do not dispose of the batteries in the re or allow them to overheat.lDo not short-circuit the battery terminals with wire or any other object.WARNING If you're using a Li-Fe or Li-Po receiver battery, do NOT attempt to charge either of these types of batteries with the optional Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger. You MUST use a charger that is specically designed to charge Li-Fe or Li-Po batteries.Depending on the region in which your purchase your TM-160 2.4GHz FHSS-1 radio control system, rechargeable transmitter batteries and an overnight charger may or may not be included. If these items are NOT included, we recommend using the following:Hi-Energy 1200mAh Ni-MH 'AA' Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) for Transmitter (2 PCS.)Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger (1 PC.)WARNING An after-market peak-detection charger, cycler, or fast charger should NOT be used to charge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries through the transmitter. The circuitry within the transmitter can interfere with the peak-detection charger's normal operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries, and possibly the transmitter itself. In addition, a fast charger can damage the transmitter's circuitry. These chargers can be used, but ONLY if the batteries are charged outside of the transmitter. Instead of using Alkaline batteries to power the transmitter, you can use rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries. This will provide longer usage time and reduced cost in the long run, since you won't need to continuously purchase new Alkaline batteries.

Page 17SySTEM SETUP anD inSTaLLaTiOnTRanSMiTTER anD REcEivER BinDingThe Binding function allows you to Bind the transmitter and receiver pair. When new, it is necessary to pair the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from transmitters operated by other users. This operation is referred to as 'binding'. Once the binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are turned OFF. Therefore, this procedure usually only needs to be done once.Under some circumstances, the receiver may not operate after turning the transmitter and receiver ON. If this occurs, perform the binding process again.Before beginning the binding process, connect the switch harness, servos, and the receiver battery to your 92224 (RX600) 6-Channel receiver, using the diagram on page 13. Make sure that both the transmitter and the receiver are turned OFF.When the binding procedure is successful, the Bind LED on the receiver will stay solid blue when both the transmitter and receiver are turned ON. If the Bind LED on the receiver is ashing rapidly or not ON at all, the transmitter and receiver are not paired. In this case, turn both the transmitter and receiver OFF, then repeat the binding procedure.1) Ensure that the throttle control stick is in the LOW position (pulled all the way back).2) Turn the transmitter ON. The Bind LED on the transmitter will illuminate solid green.Use the tip of a pencil or a 1.5mm hex wrench to press the Bind Button on the receiver.3) While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver ON. The Bind LED on the receiver will ash slowly. After ~2 seconds release the Bind Button. The Bind LED on the receiver will continue to ash slowly.4) Quickly press the Bind Button on the transmitter. The Bind LED on the receiver will ash rapidly for ~3 seconds, go out momentarily, then illuminate solid blue, indicating the Binding process is complete.FaiL SaFE PROgRaMMingThe Fail Safe function automatically sets the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to a low transmitter battery. For example, the Fail Safe function can be set so that the throttle returns to idle, the elevator moves slightly up, and the ailerons move slightly right or left to result in a shallow downward decent of your aircraft.The Fail Safe function is available on channels 1 through 4 only. We suggest programming the Fail Safe function prior to mounting the receiver into your aircraft if you will be unable to access the receiver's Bind Button after mounting.Setting Fail Safe Positions1) Turn the transmitter ON, then turn the receiver ON. Move the transmitter control sticks to verify correct servo movement.2) Move the transmitter control sticks to the desired Fail Safe positions. While holding the transmitter control sticks in those positions (generally throttle at idle and a minimal amount of elevator and/or aileron), press and HOLD the Bind Button on the receiver. After ~2 seconds, the Bind LED will begin to ash slowly. Continue holding the Bind Button until the Bind LED begins to ash rapidly (~2 more seconds). Once the Bind LED begins to ash rapidly, release the Bind Button.3) Turn the transmitter OFF to test the Fail Safe operation. The servos should move to the positions that you set in step 2.The Fail Safe settings will be erased if you re-bind the transmitter and receiver pair. If you bind the same transmitter and receiver pair you MUST repeat these procedures to setup the Fail Safe function again.IMPORTANT If you don't program the Fail Safe function, if the signal between the transmitter and receiver is lost, the servos will stay in the last position they were in when the signal was lost. However, the servos will be free to move under load. They will NOT be locked in the last position they were in.Clearing Fail Safe Settings1) To clear the currently programmed Fail Safe settings, re-bind the transmitter and receiver pair.GENERAL

Page 18SySTEM SETUP anD inSTaLLaTiOnWhen mounting the receiver into your model, it's important to mount the receiver exactly as described. In addition, the receiver should be wrapped in foam rubber to protect it from vibration. Failure to mount the receiver antenna wires as described can result in poor reception, or in some cases, complete loss of reception.We recommend that you bind the transmitter and receiver, and program the Fail Safe function, prior to mounting the receiver into your model, otherwise, it may be difcult or impossible to access the Bind Button on the receiver.The receiver should be mounted securely in your model and the receiver antenna wires installed per the diagram below. The two receiver antenna wires should be mounted to a wood or plastic non-conductive part of your model and angled so that the antenna reception wires (thin, silver-colored antenna tips) are positioned 90º apart.WARNING It is extremely important that the receiver antenna wires be mounted as described. This will ensure that your model receives control signals no matter what its posture, attitude, or heading.lThe receiver antenna wires consists of two coaxial cables and two reception wires (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cables). When you mount the receiver antenna wires, do not bend the reception wires. Reception performance decreases if the reception wires are bent.lThe receiver antenna wires are delicate, therefore, handle with care. Do not pull on the receiver antenna wires with force. Do not cut or extend the receiver antenna wires. lThe coaxial cables (the thicker portion of the receiver antenna wires) can be bent into gentle curves, however, do not bend the coaxial cables acutely, or repeatedly bend them, or the antenna cores can be damaged.lWhen installed in an electric-powered model, keep the receiver antenna wires as far away from the motor, battery, and electronic speed control (ESC) as possible.lWhen installing the receiver, the antenna reception wires (the thin tip at the end of the coaxial cables) should not come into contact with any carbon or metal components (conductive components). Aircraft fuselages may contain conductive components. If mounting the receiver surrounded by conductive materials (for example, a carbon ber fuselage), mount the receiver so that the antenna reception wires can be extended outside of the model. Reception can be blocked if the antenna reception wires are shielded inside a carbon ber fuselage.Tape can be used to secure the antenna reception wires to your model. Alternatively, cut two short pieces of plastic tube and slide one antenna reception wire into each piece of tube, then tape or glue the tube to your model. The tubes will protect the antenna reception wires from damage.If mounting inside a carbon fiber fuselage, the antenna reception wires must be run outside of the model as described in the notation below.MOUnTing ThE REcEivERThe Coaxial cables can be mounted parallel to each other, but under no circumstances should the antenna reception wires be mounted parallel to each other.Reception WireCoaxial CableCoaxial CablesReception WireReceptionWireReception WirePlastic TubeOR OR

Page 19SySTEM SETUP anD inSTaLLaTiOnRangE chEcking - LOw-POwER MODEWhen lengthening the control sticks, we strongly suggest that you leave at least four threads inside the top half of each control stick. This will ensure that the control sticks maintain optimum mechanical security. If you thread the control sticks out too far, the control sticks might come loose during use.cOnTROL STick LEngTh aDjUSTMEnTThe length of the control sticks can be adjusted to best suit the way you hold them. In general, pilots who place their thumbs on top of the control sticks prefer the control sticks to be shorter, and pilots who grasp the control sticks prefer the control sticks to be longer. In the default conguration, the control sticks are adjusted as short as possible.Activating Low-Power Mode1) Press and HOLD the Bind Button on the transmitter, then turn the transmitter ON. The Bind LED will ash.2) Continue to HOLD the Bind Button for approximately 5 seconds. After approximately 5 seconds, the Bind LED will ash rapidly, then go out.3) Release the Bind Button and the Bind LED should begin to ash again. The transmitter is now in Low-Power Mode and you can begin the Range Check process.IMPORTANT The radio control system should be Range Checked prior to the day's rst ight and prior to the rst ight after a hard landing or after a repair. This will ensure that the transmitter and receiver are communicating properly prior to ight. This ensures the safety of your aircraft, yourself, and the people around you.Low-Power ModeNormal ModePOWER MODE TRANSMITTER STATUSBind LED FlashingBind LED SolidThe Low-Power Mode function lowers the transmitter's RF output level to check radio signal reception (Range Check). Use this function to check radio signal reception on the ground, prior to ight.Range Checking1) Turn the receiver in your aircraft ON.2) With the transmitter in Low-Power Mode (Bind LED ashing), walk approximately 30 paces from your aircraft (approximately 90 feet) and, with the help of another person, check to make sure that the servos move without any problems. If there is a problem with servo movement, try moving to a different position while still maintaining the same distance from your aircraft, then check servo movement again. If there is still a problem, DO NOT FLY. Check to make sure that all receiver, servos, switch, and onboard battery connections are correct and secure. Check to ensure that the receiver antenna wires are correctly mounted as described previously.3) When satised that the system is operating correctly, turn the transmitter OFF, then back ON to resume use in Normal Mode.WARNING Do not attempt to y with the transmitter in Low-Power Mode. You will be unable to control your aircraft once it is a certain distance away from you. Always verify that the Bind LED is solid prior to ight.The transmitter will revert to Normal Mode after approximately 3 minutes. If you haven't completed your Range Check within that time, turn the transmitter OFF, then repeat steps 1 through 3 to re-enter Low-Power Mode.If after checking all airborne system components and verifying correct antenna wire mounting, your radio control system still fails the Range Check, DO NOT FLY. Please contact Airtronics Customer Service using the information on the back cover of this Operating Manual.Adjusting Control Stick Length1) While holding the base of the control stick, turn the top half of the control stick counter-clockwise to loosen it.2) To lengthen the control stick, turn the top half of the control stick counter-clockwise. To shorten the control stick, turn the top half of the control stick clockwise.3) Once your are satised with the length of the control stick, thread the bottom half of the control stick up and tighten it gently against the top half of the control stick.GENERAL

Page 20FLighT MODESThe TM-160 transmitter model programming is based around Flight Modes. Each Model Type (AERO and HELI) feature three independently programmable Flight Modes. Flight Mode FN (Normal), Flight Mode F1, and Flight Mode F2. Within these Flight Modes is where the core of the model programming takes place. Features such as Dual Rate, Exponential, Throttle Curve, Pitch Curve, Mixing, Compensation Mixing, and much more can be individually programmed to each of the three Flight Modes. Each Flight Mode is controlled by a switch so that they can be turned ON and OFF during ight.Flight Modes allow you to change the ying characteristics of your model with the ip of a switch. For example, if you y helicopters, you can have one Flight Mode for normal ying and a second Flight Mode for aerobatic ying. Flip the Flight Mode switch from FN (Normal) to F1 and your helicopter is now programmed with all of your 'Aerobatic' Flight Mode programming. With three programmable Flight Modes available for each Model Type, the combinations of model programming is highly-congurable.FLighT MODE waRning aLaRMThe TM-160 transmitter is equipped with a safety feature that will not allow you to use the transmitter if the Flight Mode is not set to FN (Normal) when you turn the transmitter ON. If the Flight Mode is not set to FN when you turn the transmitter ON, the Flight Mode Warning alarm will sound continuously, the RF Output Indicator will ash, and the LCD will read F-MODE NOT 'N' ! To clear the Flight Mode Warning, set the Flight Mode to FN using the Flight Mode Switches (move both Flight Mode switches forward). The LCD will read normally, the Flight Mode Warning alarm will cease, and RF Output Indicator will stop ashing.There are three Flight Modes that can be individually programmed for each Model Type. The currently Active Flight Mode (FN, F1, or F2) is displayed in the upper right corner of the Display screen.There is always one Flight Mode active at all times and will vary based on the positions of the two Flight Mode switches. When both Flight Mode switches are pushed away from you (OFF), Flight Mode FN (Normal) will be Active.gEnERaL inFORMaTiOnThe F-MODE key is used to facilitate programming the individual Flight Modes only and does not turn the Flight Modes ON or OFF or switch between Flight Modes during use.It's important to note that higher numbered Flight Modes override lower numbered Flight Modes. For example, if you have Flight Mode F1 and Flight Mode F2 Active at the same time (both Flight Mode switches pulled toward you), Flight Mode F2 will override Flight Mode F1.Common or Separate Flight ModesMany Flight Mode programming options can be agged either COMMON or SEPARATE. Options agged as Common are common across all Flight Modes. Options agged as Separate can be programmed separately for each Flight Mode from the same Programming Menu.Flight Modes are turned ON and OFF using the two Flight Mode switches, as described below:Flight Mode FN (Normal) - Both Flight Mode switches pushed forward (OFF).Flight Mode F1 - Flight Mode F1 Switch pulled toward you (ON) and Flight Mode F2 switch pushed away from you (OFF).Flight Mode F2 - Flight Mode F2 switch pulled toward you (ON).Flight Mode F1SwitchFlight Mode F2Switch

The Instructor controls the Student's model as long as the Trainer switch is released. For example, once the Instructor maneuvers the model to a safe altitude, the Instructor pulls and holds the Trainer switch to give control of the model to the Student. The Student will have control of the model as long as the Instructor holds the Trainer switch. Once the Trainer switch is released, the Instructor will have control of the model once again. If at any time the Instructor feels that the Student is in a situation that endangers the model, the Instructor releases the Trainer switch and control of the model returns instantly to the Instructor.Making AERO Model Type Selection Options, Continued....2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight the AERO Model Type selection option you wish to change, for example, AILE>1.3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the selection option.

It's not unusual that when you install the servo horn onto your servo that the servo horn is not perfectly centered. The Servo Centering function allows you to center the servo horn perfectly.1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight CENTER, then press the ENTER key to display the CENTER menu. The cursor will default to 1EL>0%.The channel numbers will differ based on the Model Type selection options you chose previously in the TYPE menu. For example, if you chose AILE>2, channel 2 will be displayed as LA (Left Aileron) and channel 5 will be displayed as RA (Right Aileron).Centering the Trim Switches and Servo Horns1) Before changing the Servo Centering percentage values you must rst adjust each of the four trim switches so that the control surface trims are centered as displayed on the Display screen. In addition, an audible double-tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. The TM-160 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of trim that you set during fight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and model, and for that specic Flight Mode (if Enabled). The Trim percentage values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON and your model is selected. For more information, see page 36.2) Install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure that the servo horn is as close to being centered as possible. In some cases you can get the servo arm closer to being centered by rotating the servo arm 180º and reinstalling it.IMPORTANT It is always recommended to install the servo horns as close to being centered as possible, prior to changing the Servo Centering percentage values. After you change the Servo Centering percentage values to center the servo horns, only then should you manually adjust the control linkages to center the control surfaces.TH TrimRU TrimEL TrimAI TrimChanging Servo Centering Percentage ValuesAERO MODEL TYPE

The default setting is 0%. Increase or decrease the Servo Centering percentage values to center the servo horns.WARNING We don't recommend using a Servo Centering percentage value outside the range of approximately -40% to 40%. Using a percentage value outside of this range can result in limited maximum servo travel. Zeroing Out TrimAlthough trim switch settings are automatically stored in memory for each individual model, some users may wish to always keep their trim switch settings at zero (centered) for all models. For example, after test-ying your model, if you have had to add trim to make your model y straight and level, you can use the Servo Centering function to add that amount of trim back into the servo(s), then move the trim switches back to center. This ensures that your trim switches are always centered.1) After ying your model, check your model's control surfaces to see how much trim was necessary to achieve straight and level ight.2) From within the CENTER menu, highlight the channel you need to add Centering trim to.3) Recenter the trim switch, then change the Servo Centering percentage value until the control surface is in the same position it was prior to recentering the trim switch. Double-check the control throws to ensure the End Points haven't changed.In the default conguration, the same trim settings are stored across all Flight Modes. This option can be changed to allow you to store different trim settings for each individual Flight Mode. For more information, see page 36.10.EPa (EnD POinT aDjUSTMEnT)The End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it possible to balance control surface throw in both directions and set the maximum desired control throw. For example, if you want your elevator to move Up and Down two inches in each direction, but the elevator moves Down more than two inches, decrease the End Point Adjustment in the Down direction, so that the elevator moves Up and Down the same amount. Another example is with ailerons. If your aircraft rolls faster to the right than to the left, increase the End Point Adjustment in the Left direction until the aircraft rolls the same speed in both directions.The End Point Adjustment function is designed to balance the control throw on both sides of servo travel and can be overridden by other settings, such as Dual Rate. For example, if you have your End Point Adjustment percentage value set to 100%, and you set your Dual Rate percentage value to 150%, the servo will travel more than 100% when Dual Rate is ON.1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight EPA, then press the ENTER key to display the EPA menu. The cursor will default to 1EL>U100% or 1EL>D100% depending on the last position of the elevator control stick.The channel numbers will differ based on the Model Type selection options you chose previously in the TYPE menu. For example, if you chose AILE>2, channel 2 will be displayed as LA (Left Aileron) and channel 5 will be displayed as RA (Right Aileron).Changing End Point Adjustment Percentage Values

Page 33aERO MODEL TyPEChanging Servo End Point Percentage Values, Continued....In front of each End Point Adjustment percentage value is a specic icon. To set the End Point Adjustment percentage value for the desired direction of servo travel, the control stick or switch must be moved in the direction of servo travel you want to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for. For example, if you want to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for Down elevator, push the elevator control stick forward, then release it. 'D' will be displayed in front of the Elevator End Point Adjustment percentage value.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5634 to highlight the channel that you would like to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the End Point Adjust-ment percentage value.EPA setting range for the primary ight controls is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. EPA setting range for Flaps is -150% to 150%. Increasing the End Point Adjustment percentage value increases servo travel and decreasing the End Point Adjustment percentage value decreases servo travel.Although the End Point Adjustment function is used to balance and adjust maximum control surface deection, we suggest adjusting the control linkages rst to try to achieve as close to the desired control surface deection as possible, then use the End Point Adjustment function to make nal adjustments.To increase control surface deection, you can either move the pushrod further out on the servo arm or move the pushrod closer to the control surface. To decrease control surface deection, you can either move the pushrod closer to the center of the servo arm or move the pushrod further away from the control surface.11.Th-cUT (ThROTTLE cUT)The Throttle Cut function allows you to set a specic position that the throttle servo will move to when you press the Throttle Cut button. The Throttle Cut function is primarily used to shut down your engine after ight. You are able to adjust the Throttle Cut percentage value to ensure that when you press the Throttle Cut button to shut down your engine, the carburetor will close completely, yet not bind.Changing the Throttle Cut Percentage Value1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight TH-CUT, then press the ENTER key to display the TH-CUT menu. The cursor will default to >-100%.Before using the Throttle Cut function, make sure that the idle stop screw on your carburetor (if featured) is adjusted to allow the carburetor barrel to close completely.When the Throttle Cut function is Activated, throttle control will be disabled.There are several different methods that can be used to set up your throttle control linkage and the Throttle Cut function. To prevent any chance of causing your throttle control linkage to bind, possibly resulting in damage to your throttle servo when you use the Throttle Cut function, we rst suggest adjusting the Throttle Low End Point Adjustment percentage value so that when the throttle control stick is pulled all the way back the carburetor barrel closes completely without binding. Next, increase the throttle trim (using the throttle trim switch) to adjust your engine's idle. Now change the Throttle Cut percentage value to close the carburetor barrel without binding when you press the Throttle Cut button.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change the End Point Adjustment percentage values for the desired remaining channels.AERO MODEL TYPE

In addition, the Dual Rate percentage value for each channel can be programmed independently. The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch, allowing you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately. For greater exibility, both Dual Rate and Exponential can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Current ChannelDual Rate Switch Position Transmitter F-MODEProgramming F-MODETransmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.Choosing the Flight Mode - Common or SeparateWhen set to COMMON, the Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values you program will be the same regardless of which Flight Mode the transmitter is operating in. You cannot program Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values separately for each Flight Mode. When set to SEPARATE, you can program Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values separately for each Flight Mode. This allows for greater exibility.1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight D/R & EXP, then press the ENTER key to display the D/R & EXP menu. The cursor will default to D/R>100%.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5to move the cursor to F-MODE>COMMON.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose either SEPARATE OR COMMON.5) If you choose SEPARATE, press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like to program the Dual Rate and Exponential functions for. Choose from FN, F1 or F2.(Typically 1=Maximum Control Throw and 2=Reduced Control Throw)

Page 35aERO MODEL TyPEDual Rate is a percentage of End Point Adjustment. For example, if you set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to 100%, the control surfaces will travel the same amount as dened by your End Point Adjustment programming, and if you set the Dual Rate 2 percentage value to 50%, the control surfaces will travel half that amount when Dual Rate 2 is Activated. Prior to takeoff, check the position of the Dual Rate switch to ensure that it is in the position you want.Dual Rate OverviewThe Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the control surfaces by changing the amount of servo travel. For example, if you are ying an aerobatic aircraft that requires a lot of control throw for aerobatics, but that same amount of control throw makes the aircraft difcult to control during normal ight, you can use the Dual Rate function to lower the control throw for normal ight with just the ip of the Dual Rate switch. Two Dual Rate settings are available for the Elevator, Aileron, and Rudder channels, and different Dual Rate settings can be programmed separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Changing the Dual Rate Percentage ValuesTwo different Dual Rate settings can be programmed to the Dual Rate switch. We recommend that Dual Rate 1 be set to the maximum control surface throw you desire, then set Dual Rate 2 to a different value that is less than maximum. For example, set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to 100% and the Dual Rate 2 percentage value to 75%.WARNING Keep in mind that it's possible to set the Dual Rate percentage value higher than the End Point Adjustment percentage value. For example, with the End Point Adjustment percentage value set to 100% and the Dual Rate percentage value set to 150% the servo will move more than 100% when Dual Rate is turned ON. We strongly recommend that you set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to no more than 100%. This will prevent any chance of exceeding your End Point Adjustment and overdriving your control linkage.Choosing the Channel1) Press the Navigation Pad 34 to highlight the channel you would like to make Dual Rate percentage value changes to. Choose either <EL>, <AI>, or <RU>.Dual Rate can be set for EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), and RU (Rudder).D/R setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. Increasing the Dual Rate percentage value increases servo travel and decreasing the Dual Rate percentage value decreases servo travel.1) Move the Dual Rate switch to the position you would like to set a Dual Rate percentage value for, either 1 or 2. 2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired Dual Rate percentage value for the channel you chose previously.Exponential OverviewThe Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the elevator, aileron, and rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surfaces react to control stick movement. Increasing the Exponential value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value will heighten the control feel around neutral. For example, using a positive Exponential percentage value allows for smoother control by lessening the amount of servo travel in relation to the amount of control stick movement. Using a negative Exponential percentage value may result in more 'twitchy' control response because the amount of servo travel will be increased in relation to the amount of control stick movement. The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately.Exponential does not change the total amount of servo travel at maximum control stick deection. Exponential affects the ratio between servo travel and control stick movement at less than maximum control stick deection.12.D/R & EXP (DUaL RaTE anD EXPOnEnTiaL), cOnTinUED....AERO MODEL TYPE

Page 36aERO MODEL TyPEChoosing the Channel1) Press the Navigation Pad 34 to highlight the channel you would like to make Exponential percentage value changes to. Choose either <EL>, <AI>, or <RU>.Exponential can be set for EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), and RU (Rudder).Changing the Exponential Percentage ValuesThe Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately. For example, with the Dual Rate switch in position 1 (maximum travel), you can set the Exponential percentage value to 30% to soften the control feel around neutral and with the Dual Rate switch in position 2 (reduced travel) you can set Exponential percentage value to 0%. When the Exponential percentage value is set to 0%, the ratio between servo travel and control stick movement will be Linear throughout the entire range of deection.WARNING If you have not used Exponential functions in the past, we suggest that you start with a small percentage of Exponential (approximately 10%~20%) until you get used to the feel of how Exponential affects the control feel of your model. You will find that Exponential is most useful where strong control response is desired at extreme control stick positions, but softer control response to small control stick movements is desired in order to make very accurate small corrections to the flight path.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to move the cursor to EXP>0%.2) Move the Dual Rate switch to the position you would like to set an Exponential percentage value for, either 1 or 2. 3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired Exponential percentage value for the channel you chose previously.EXP setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0% (Linear). Increasing the Exponential percentage value softens the control feel around neutral. Decreasing the Exponential percentage value heightens the control feel around neutral.13.TRiM (DigiTaL TRiM)The TM-160 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of control surface trim that you set during fight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and for that specic model. The Digital Trim values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON. The Trim function allows you to choose whether you want trim changes saved the same across all three Flight Modes or if you want trim changes saved separately for each of the three Flight Modes. In addition, an option to lock the throttle trim in Flight Mode F1 is also available. This feature is convenient when ying aerobatics with a custom Throttle Curve in Flight Mode F1, because if accidentally hit, the throttle trim could change your Throttle Curve and cause unintended consequences.An audible double-tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. This allows you to know when the trim switches reach the center position without the need to look at the Trim Indicators on the Display screen.Choosing the Trim Flight Mode Option1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight TRIM, then press the ENTER key to display the TRIM menu.

Page 37aERO MODEL TyPEWARNING When the Trim Flight Mode option is set to Separate or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1), Digital Trim values are stored in the specic Flight Mode you're using when you change the trim using the trim switches. For example, you could have 10 'clicks' of Up elevator trim in Flight Mode FN (Normal) and 5 'clicks' of Up elevator trim in Flight Mode F1. Be cautious of this when switching between Flight Modes during ight. In addition, if SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1) is chosen, throttle trim will NOT be adjustable when in Flight Mode F1.Choosing the Trim Flight Mode Option, Continued....3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose the desired Trim Flight Mode option, either COMMON, SEPARATE or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1).TRIM setting range is COMMON, SEPARATE, or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1). The default setting is COMMON.14.Th-cURvE (ThROTTLE cURvE)The Throttle Curve function allows you to vary the amount of throttle servo travel in relation to the movement of the throttle control stick at different points throughout the entire range of deection. Five custom-programmable Points ensure a precise Throttle Curve to suit any situation. For example, many glow and gas engines are very non-Linear, meaning that when the throttle control stick is at half, the engine is not at half power.

Page 39aERO MODEL TyPE15.ai-DiFF (aiLEROn DiFFEREnTiaL)The Aileron Differential function allows you change the ratio of the Up to Down movement of each aileron. For example, many aircraft exhibit a yaw tendency when the ailerons are used. Although this can affect any aircraft, it's noticed mostly on high-wing aircraft and aerobatic aircraft. The Aileron Differential function can be used to eliminate the yaw tendency by adding more movement to the upward moving aileron than the downward moving aileron. For example, if your aircraft tends not to stay in a straight line during rolls, you can adjust the Aileron Differential to make the aircraft roll more axially and therefore in a straight line.For greater exibility, the Aileron Differential function can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Programming F-MODETransmitter F-MODETransmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in.

During use, both ailerons move down at the same time to provide the function of aps, while still providing aileron roll control. Both ailerons can also be programmed to move up at the same time (spoilerons) to rapidly decrease lift. On some aircraft, moving both ailerons up slightly can induce greater speeds and also aid in trimming.For greater exibility, the Flaperon Mixing function can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Programming F-MODETransmitter F-MODETransmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in.

For example, you can create a custom mix that mixes aperons and spoilerons to elevator, so that when you move the elevator up and down, both ailerons will move up and down, providing near-instantaneous extreme pitch changes while still enabling aileron roll control. Another example would be to mix aileron to rudder, so that when you move the ailerons right and left, the rudder will move right and left, resulting in a coordinated turn. Like with pre-programmed mixes, Compensation Mixes are composed of a Master channel and a Slave channel. Any of the available six channels can be programmed as a Master or a Slave. The same channel can even be programmed as both a Master and a Slave. For example, if you want to program throttle Dual Rate, you can set both the Master and the Slave to throttle, then adjust the High and Low Rate percentage values to provide the amount of travel you want when the Compensation Mixing function is Activated. In addition to programming the High and Low Rate percentage values, the Slave channel Offset percentage value can be changed to move the neutral point of the Slave channel servo when the Compensation Mixing function is Activated.For greater exibility, both Compensation Mixing functions can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or sepa-rately for each of the three Flight Modes.AERO MODEL TYPE

If you require the Slave channel servo to move from Low throttle to High throttle, program the Compensation Mixer as shown in this example: MASTER>TH, SLAVE>RU, Rate Hi>25%, RATE Lo>25%, OFFSET>-25%.AERO MODEL TYPE

Page 5024.SX MOniTOR (SERvO MOniTOR)The Servo Monitor displays the output levels of each of the 6 channels in bar graph form, allowing you to monitor servo operation in a virtual manner. This is helpful to see servo movement when the control sticks and switches are moved, and it allows you to visualize what is occurring with servo movements when you apply different mixing values. The Servo Monitor also indicates which channel slots in the receiver to plug your servos into (1 EL, 2AI, 3TH, 4RU, 5GE, and 6FL).The channels displayed on the Servo Monitor will vary based on the Model Type selection options chosen in the TYPE menu. For example, if you chose TAIL>2xEL and AILE>2 in the TYPE menu, LE (Left Elevator), RE (Right Elevator), LA(Left Aileron), and RA (Right Aileron) will be displayed along with the corresponding receiver channel slot numbers.aERO MODEL TyPECompensation Mixing Sample - Mixing Elevator to Flaperons/SpoileronsThe sample below describes how to mix elevator to aperons using Compensation Mixer 1 and control it using the Compensation Mixing switch. This mix is common for use in 3D aerobatic aircraft where you want both ailerons to move up and down with the elevator, yet still maintain full roll control. In order to use this mix, your aircraft must feature two separate aileron servos and you must choose AILE>2 in the TYPE menu.1) From within the FLAPERON menu, set the desired FL4LA> and FL4RA> percentage values. We suggest adjusting the percentage values to achieve the maximum desired aperon control throw when the Flap switch is Activated.In this example, the Master channel is the Elevator channel and the Slave channel is the Flap channel. The RATE Hi and RATE Lo percentage values dene how far Up and Down the both ailerons will move together, and is a percentage of the FL4LA and FL4RApercentage values you previously programmed in the FLAPERON menu. To Activate this mix, Activate Compensation Mixer 1 by pulling the Compensation Mixer switch down. It's not necessary to use the Flap control switch when using this mix.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight OFFSET>0%.2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Offset Percentage value.OFFSET setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0%. Increasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral position of the Slave servo in one direction and decreasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral position of the Slave servo in the opposite direction.MASTER>ELSLAVE>FLRATE Hi>50%RATE Lo>50%OFFSET>0%The positive and negative values shown in the example may vary based on the NOR/REV status of your aileron and elevator servos. You may need to change the percentage values to suit.2) Program the Compensation Mixer 1 options from the within the C-MIX1 menu, as shown at right.Using the Servo Monitor1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight SX MONITOR, then press the ENTER key to display the Servo Monitor.3) Moving the control sticks and channel switches will display the position and movement of each of the servos.Changing the Offset Percentage ValueThe Offset percentage value changes the neutral position of the Slave channel servo when the Compensation Mixing function is Activated. For example, when an Offset percentage value is programmed, the Slave channel servo neutral position and its two End Point positions will 'shift' the programmed amount.

There are three basic Swashplate Types available:Normal - In this conguration the swashplate does not control pitch. It only controls right, left, fore, and aft cyclic. Usually the servos are installed 90º apart but do not mix with collective to control pitch. This conguration is generally used for xed-pitch helicopters or helicopters that have a completely separate control system to control collective pitch.3-Point CCPM - In this conguration the cyclic and collective controls are mixed. The servos that control the swashplate are installed either 120º or 140º apart, depending on the conguration.4-Point CCPM - In this conguration the cyclic and collective controls are mixed. The servos that control the swashplate are installed 90º apart.Receiver channel slot assignments will change based on the Swashplate Type selection options chosen. To verify which receiver channel slots to plug your servos into, navigate to the SX MONITOR menu after saving your Swashplate Type selection options.

Page 57hELi MODEL TyPE04.TRainER (TRainER SySTEM)The TM-160 transmitter features a Trainer System that allows you to connect two TM-160 transmitters to one another or connect one TM-160 transmitter to one SD-5G transmitter or to one SD-10G transmitter for the purpose of training a new pilot or for training a more experienced pilot on a new model. During use, one transmitter acts as the Master (Instructor) and the other transmitter acts as the Slave (Student). The Instructor controls the Student's model as long as the Trainer switch is released. For example, once the Instructor maneuvers the model to a safe altitude, the Instructor pulls and holds the Trainer switch to give control of the model to the Student. The Student will have control of the model as long as the Instructor holds the Trainer switch. Once the Trainer switch is released, the Instructor will have control of the model once again. If at any time the Instructor feels that the Student is in a situation that endangers the model, the Instructor releases the Trainer switch and control of the model returns instantly to the Instructor.IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRAINER SYSTEMlThe Trainer System is currently compatible ONLY with another TM-160 transmitter or an SD-5G or SD-10G transmitter and you MUST use the Airtronics 97107 Trainer Cable. See your local Airtronics dealer for more information and availability.lDuring use, both the Master transmitter and the Slave transmitter should be turned ON. If using an SD-10G transmitter as the Slave transmitter, to save battery power only the transmitter LCD needs to be turned ON, using the DISPLAY key.lBoth transmitters must be programmed identically for the Trainer System to function properly. For example, Servo Reversing, End Point Adjustments, etc. must be identical. In addition, the Instructor transmitter Trainer System function must be set to MASTER and the Student transmitter Trainer System function must be set to SLAVE.If using the Trainer System with an Airtronics SD-5G transmitter or an SD-10G transmitter, please refer to those transmitter's Operating Manuals for more information on the correct setup and use of those transmitter's Trainer functions.Connecting the Master and Slave Transmitters1) Turn both transmitters OFF.2) Plug one end of the Airtronics 97107 Trainer Cable (available separately) into the back of one TM-160 transmitter, then plug the other end of the Trainer Cable into the back of the second TM-160 transmitter or an SD-5G or SD-10G transmitter.Activating the Trainer Function - Master (Instructor) Transmitter1) Turn the Master (Instructor) transmitter ON.

Press any key to return to the DATA COPY menu.All model-specic Programming Data, including the Model Name will be copied to the selected model.If you want to go back and change models or you don't want to copy the Programming Data for any reason, press the DEC-/M2 or END/M3 keys.07.DaTa RESET (MODEL PROgRaMMing DaTa RESET)The Data Reset function allows you to Reset model-specic Programming Data for any model back to the factory default settings. As described previously, individual programming settings can be Reset to the factory default settings by pressing the INC+/M1 and DEC-/M2 keys at the same time, however, this is time consuming if you want to change all of the selected model's programming settings back to default. Using the Data Reset function makes doing this much quicker and more accurate, since nothing will be missed.Although Model Type selection options are model-specic, the Data Reset function does NOT Reset them. This is useful if you have two similar models, but different programming needs for each. For example, if you have two similar models that use the same Swashplate Type (e.g., CP3FS) but different Programming Data (e.g., Dual Rates, End Point Adjustments, etc), you can copy the rst model's Programming Data, using the Data Copy function, then use the Data Reset function to Reset all of the Programming Data except Model Type selection options. This saves time by not needing to re-program Swashplate Type options.Resetting Model Programming Data1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight DATA RESET, then press the ENTER key to display the DATA RESET menu. The cursor will default to the currently selected model, for example >06:SANWA-06 <HELI> and ENTER will flash in the Programming Window.3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to select the model you would like to Reset the Programming Data for.

Press any key to return to the DATA RESETmenu.If you want to go back and change the model or you don't want to Reset the Programming Data for any reason, press the DEC-/M2 or END/M3 keys.08.REvERSE (SERvO REvERSing)The Servo Reversing function electronically switches the direction of servo travel. For example, if you push the throttle control stick forward to increase pitch, but pitch decreases, you can use the Servo Reversing function to switch the direction of servo travel to increase pitch when the throttle control stick is moved forward.Changing Servo Reversing Adjustment Values1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight REVERSE, then press the ENTER key to display the REVERSE menu. The cursor will default to 1EL>NOR.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5634 to highlight the channel that you would like to change the Servo Reversing adjustment value for.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the REV adjustment value to set the desired direction of servo travel.REVERSE setting range is NOR/REV. The default setting is NOR.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the desired direction of servo travel for the desired remaining channels.09.cEnTER (SERvO cEnTERing SUB-TRiM)The Servo Centering function allows you to ne-tune the Center (Neutral) position of each servo. It's not unusual that when you install the servo horn onto your servo that the servo horn is not perfectly centered. The Servo Centering function allows you to center the servo horn perfectly.Centering the Trim Switches and Servo Horns1) Before changing the Servo Centering percentage values you must rst adjust each of the four trim switches so that the control surface trims are centered as displayed on the Display screen. In addition, an audible double-tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. TH TrimRU TrimEL TrimAI TrimHELI MODEL TYPE

Page 62hELi MODEL TyPEChanging Servo Centering Percentage Values1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight CENTER, then press the ENTER key to display the CENTER menu. The cursor will default to 1EL>0%.The TM-160 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of trim that you set during fight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and model, and for that specic Flight Mode (if Enabled). The Trim percentage values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON and your model is selected. For more information, see page 69.Centering the Trim Switches and Servo Horns, Continued....2) Install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure that the servo horn is as close to being centered as possible. In some cases you can get the servo arm closer to being centered by rotating the servo arm 180º and reinstalling it.IMPORTANT It is always recommended to install the servo horns as close to being centered as possible, prior to changing the Servo Centering percentage values. After you change the Servo Centering percentage values to center the servo horns, only then should you manually adjust the control linkages to center the control surfaces. When setting up your control linkages, it's recommended that the servo arms and the control surfaces should be centered, and the control linkages should be as close to perpendicular to the servo arms as possible. 3) Press the Navigation Pad 5634 to highlight the channel that you would like to change the Servo Centering percentage value for.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Servo Centering percentage value to center the servo horn.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to center the servo horns for the desired remaining channels.CENTER setting range is -150% to 150%. The default setting is 0%. Increase or decrease the Servo Centering Percentage Values to center the servo horns.WARNING We don't recommend using a Servo Centering percentage value outside the range of approximately -40% to 40%. Using a percentage value outside of this range can result in limited maximum servo travel. Zeroing Out TrimAlthough trim switch settings are automatically stored in memory for each individual model, some users may wish to always keep their trim switch settings at zero (centered) for all models. For example, after test-ying your model, if you have had to add trim to make your model y straight and level, you can use the Servo Centering function to add that amount of trim back into the servo(s), then move the trim switches back to center. This ensures that your trim switches are always centered.1) After ying your model, check your model's control surfaces to see how much trim was necessary to achieve straight and level ight.2) From within the CENTER menu, highlight the channel you need to add Centering trim to.3) Recenter the trim switch, then change the Servo Centering percentage value until the control surface is in the same position it was prior to recentering the trim switch. Double-check the control throws to ensure the End Points haven't changed.In the default conguration, the same trim settings are stored across all Flight Modes. This option can be changed to allow you to store different trim settings for each individual Flight Mode. For more information, see page 69.

Page 63hELi MODEL TyPE10.EPa (EnD POinT aDjUSTMEnT)The End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it possible to balance control throw in both directions and set the maximum desired control throw. For example, if you want the elevator axis to move Up and Down 4 degrees in each direction, but the elevator axis moves Down more than 4 degrees, decrease the End Point Adjustment in the Down direction, so that the elevator axis moves Up and Down the same amount. In addition, the End Point Adjustment function can be used to adjust the desired maximum control throw. For example, if your throttle binds when the throttle control stick is at full, you can decrease the throttle End Point Adjustment to lower the control throw.The End Point Adjustment function can be overridden by other settings, such as Dual Rate. For example, if you have your End Point Adjustment percentage value set to 100%, and you set your Dual Rate percentage value to 150%, the servo will travel more than 100% when Dual Rate is ON.Changing End Point Adjustment Percentage Values 1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight EPA, then press the ENTER key to display the EPA menu. The cursor will default to 1EL>U100% or 1EL>D100% depending on the last position of the elevator control stick.In front of each End Point Adjustment percentage value is a specic icon. To set the End Point Adjustment percentage value for the desired direction of servo travel, the control stick must be moved in the direction of servo travel you want to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for. For example, if you want to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for Down elevator, push the elevator control stick forward, then release it. 'D' will be displayed in front of the Elevator End Point Adjustment percentage value.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5634 to highlight the channel that you would like to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value for.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the End Point Adjustment percentage value.EPA setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. Increasing the End Point Adjustment percentage value increases servo travel and decreasing the End Point Adjustment percentage value decreases servo travel.Although the End Point Adjustment function is used to balance and adjust maximum control deection, we suggest adjusting the control linkages rst to try to achieve as close to the desired control deection as possible, then use the End Point Adjustment function to make nal adjustments.To increase control surface deection, you can either move the pushrod further out on the servo arm or move the pushrod closer to the control linkage. To decrease control surface deection, you can either move the pushrod closer to the center of the servo arm or move the pushrod further away from the control linkage.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change the End Point Adjustment percentage values for the desired remaining channels.When changing End Point Adjustment percentage values, changing the End Point Adjustment percentage value on one channel, for example, pitch, affects all the cyclic servos (due to CCPM). If you need to make End Point Adjustments to individual servos without affecting the other cyclic servos, use the CCPM End Point Adjustment function described on the next page.The End Point Adjustment percentage value for the Gyro channel cannot be changed in the EPA menu. To change Gyro Gain percentage values, see the Remote Gyro Gain Control section on page 75.HELI MODEL TYPE

Page 64hELi MODEL TyPE11.cP-EPa (ccPM EnD POinT aDjUSTMEnT)The CCPM End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction for the elevator, aileron, and pitch servos independently. Unlike the standard End Point Adjustment function, which affects all the cyclic servos, CCPM End Point Adjustment allows you to adjust each cyclic servo independently without any affect on the other cyclic servos. For example, you can change the End Point Adjustment on the pitch servo without affecting the End Point Adjustment of the elevator or the aileron servos. This allows for the utmost control is setting up your swashplate for the most accurate movement and allows you to quickly and easily level the swashplate.Changing CCPM End Point Adjustment Percentage Values 1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight CP-EPA, then press the ENTER key to display the CP-EPA menu. The cursor will default to 1EL H>100%.IMPORTANT In front of each CP-EPA percentage value is an 'H' or 'L' icon (High or Low, respectively). Making adjustments to the 'H' percentage value affects the High side of control stick travel and making adjustments to the 'L' percentage value affects the Low side of control stick travel.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5634 to highlight the channel and direction that you would like to change the CCPM End Point Adjustment percentage value for.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the CCPM End Point Adjustment percentage value.CP-EPA setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. Increasing the CCPM End Point Adjustment percentage value increases servo travel and decreasing the CCPM End Point Adjustment percentage value decreases servo travel.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change the CCPM End Point Adjustment percentage values for the desired remaining channels.12.SwaSh (SwaShPLaTE SETUP)The Swashplate Setup function allows you to control a number of different functions related to the swashplate. Using the Swashplate Setup function, you are able to reverse individual elevator, aileron, and pitch functions.For example, even if you select the correct Swashplate Type for your particular helicopter there may be a situation where instead of the swashplate rising for positive collective it may be necessary for the swashplate to fall for positive collective. Instead of 'fooling' the swashplate by selecting the opposite Swashplate Type and swapping the aileron and pitch channels in the receiver, then adjusting the servo reversing, the Swashplate Setup function allows you simply reverse the pitch function by changing the PI (Pitch) adjustment value opposite to what is displayed (e.g., change 100 to -100) to change the direction of travel for the pitch function. In addition, the Swashplate Setup function also allows you to control the overall throw of the elevator, aileron, and pitch functions by increasing or decreasing the percentage values.The Swashplate Setup function also allows you to mix elevator, aileron, and pitch functions together without the need to use a separate mixer. For example, if you do a loop and the helicopter wants to roll out in one direction or another, you can change the Mixing adjustment values of the Elevator Master to the Aileron Slave at either the low or the high collective stick to trim out this tendency.IMPORTANT To be able to access the CP-EPA menu and program the CCPM End Point Adjustment function, you must choose a CCPM swashplate setup in the TYPE menu.

In all cases, the MASTER function controls the SLAVE function. For example, if you want to increase the servo travel of the aileron channel when the throttle control stick is moved forward, increase the PI MASTER/AI SLAVE adjustment value.If you want to change the rotation of servo travel for a channel, for example, the pitch channel, highlight PI MASTER/PI SLAVE and change the adjustment value to the opposite of the current adjustment value (e.g., 100 to -100).SLAVE FunctionsAdjustmentValuesMASTER FunctionsDepending on your model's specic setup, it may be necessary to decrease the adjustment values to keep from over-driving the servos.The SWASH menu displays the default adjustment values for the Swashplate Type chosen in the TYPE menu. The currently selected Swashplate Type is displayed.Changing Swashplate Setup Adjustment Values 1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight SWASH, then press the ENTER key to display the SWASH menu.

The default adjustment value varies based on Swashplate Type currently selected. To display the default adjustment values, highlight a specic adjustment value and press the INC+/M1 and DEC-/M2 keys at the same time.13.Th-cUT (ThROTTLE cUT)The Throttle Cut function allows you to set a specic position that the throttle servo will move to. The Throttle Cut function is primarily used in glow- or gas-powered helicopters to shut down your engine after ight. You are able to adjust the Throttle Cut percentage value to ensure that when you press the Throttle Cut button to shut down your engine, the carburetor will close completely, yet not bind.Before using the Throttle Cut function, make sure that the idle stop screw on your carburetor (if featured) is adjusted to allow the carburetor barrel to close completely.HELI MODEL TYPE

Page 66hELi MODEL TyPE14.D/R & EXP (DUaL RaTE anD EXPOnEnTiaL)The TM-160 transmitter features one Dual Rate switch that controls Dual Rate for the elevator, aileron, and rudder channels at the same time. In addition, the Dual Rate percentage value for each channel can be programmed independently. The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch, allowing you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately. For greater exibility, both Dual Rate and Exponential can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Current ChannelTransmitter F-MODEProgramming F-MODETransmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.Choosing the Flight Mode - Common or SeparateWhen set to COMMON, the Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values you program will be the same regardless of which Flight Mode the transmitter is operating in. You cannot program Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values separately for each Flight Mode. When set to SEPARATE, you can program Dual Rate and Exponential percentage values separately for each Flight Mode. This allows for greater exibility.13.Th-cUT (ThROTTLE cUT), cOnTinUED....Changing the Throttle Cut Percentage Value1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight TH-CUT, then press the ENTER key to display the TH-CUT menu. The cursor will default to >-100%.When the Throttle Cut function is Activated, throttle control will be disabled.There are several different methods that can be used to set up your throttle control linkage and the Throttle Cut function. To prevent any chance of causing your throttle control linkage to bind, possibly resulting in damage to your throttle servo when you use the Throttle Cut function, we rst suggest adjusting the Throttle Low End Point Adjustment percentage value so that when the throttle control stick is pulled all the way back the carburetor barrel closes completely without binding. Next, increase the throttle trim (using the throttle trim switch) to adjust your engine's idle. Now change the Throttle Cut percentage value to close the carburetor barrel without binding when you press the Throttle Cut button.TH-CUT setting range is -150% to 0%. The default setting is -100%. Decreasing the Throttle Cut percentage value will increase throttle servo travel when the Throttle Cut button is pressed.3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the position you would like the throttle servo to move to when you press the Throttle Cut button.Dual Rate Switch Position (Typically 1=Maximum Control Throw and 2=Reduced Control Throw)

Page 67hELi MODEL TyPEDual Rate is a percentage of End Point Adjustment. For example, if you set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to 100%, the control surfaces will travel the same amount as dened by your End Point Adjustment programming, and if you set the Dual Rate 2 percentage value to 50%, the control surfaces will travel half that amount when Dual Rate 2 is Activated. Prior to takeoff, check the position of the Dual Rate switch to ensure that it is in the position you want.Dual Rate OverviewThe Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the control surfaces by changing the amount of servo travel. For example, if you are ying an aerobatic helicopter that requires a lot of control throw for aerobatics, but that same amount of control throw makes the helicopter difcult to control during normal ight, you can use the Dual Rate function to lower the control throw for normal ight with just the ip of the Dual Rate switch. Two Dual Rate settings are available for the Elevator, Aileron, and Rudder channels, and different Dual Rate settings can be programmed separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Choosing the Channel1) Press the Navigation Pad 34 to highlight the channel you would like to make Dual Rate percentage value changes to. Choose either <EL>, <AI>, or <RU>.Dual Rate can be set for EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), and RU (Rudder).2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight D/R & EXP, then press the ENTER key to display the D/R & EXP menu. The cursor will default to D/R>100%.3) Press the Navigation Pad 5to move the cursor to F-MODE>COMMON.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose either SEPARATE OR COMMON.5) If you choose SEPARATE, press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like to program the Dual Rate and Exponential functions for. Choose from FN, F1 or F2.Choosing the Flight Mode - Common or Separate, Continued....1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.Changing the Dual Rate Percentage ValuesTwo different Dual Rate settings can be programmed to the Dual Rate switch. We recommend that Dual Rate 1 be set to the maximum control surface throw you desire, then set Dual Rate 2 to a different value that is less than maximum. For example, set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to 100% and the Dual Rate 2 percentage value to 75%.WARNING Keep in mind that it's possible to set the Dual Rate percentage value higher than the End Point Adjustment percentage value. For example, with the End Point Adjustment percentage value set to 100% and the Dual Rate percentage value set to 150% the servo will move more than 100% when Dual Rate is turned ON. We strongly recommend that you set the Dual Rate 1 percentage value to no more than 100%. This will prevent any chance of exceeding your End Point Adjustment and overdriving your control linkage.HELI MODEL TYPE

Page 68hELi MODEL TyPEChoosing the Channel1) Press the Navigation Pad 34 to highlight the channel you would like to make Exponential percentage value changes to. Choose either <EL>, <AI>, or <RU>.Exponential can be set for EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), and RU (Rudder).Changing the Exponential Percentage ValuesThe Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately. For example, with the Dual Rate switch in position 1 (maximum travel), you can set the Exponential percentage value to 30% to soften the control feel around neutral and with the Dual Rate switch in position 2 (reduced travel) you can set Exponential percentage value to 0%. When the Exponential percentage value is set to 0%, the ratio between servo travel and control stick movement will be Linear throughout the entire range of deection.WARNING If you have not used Exponential functions in the past, we suggest that you start with a small percentage of Exponential (approximately 10%~20%) until you get used to the feel of how Exponential affects the control feel of your model. You will nd that Exponential is most useful where strong control response is desired at extreme control stick positions, but softer control response to small control stick movements is desired in order to make very accurate small corrections to the ight path.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to move the cursor to EXP>0%.2) Move the Dual Rate switch to the position you would like to set an Exponential percentage value for, either 1 or 2, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired Exponential percentage value for the channel you chose previously.EXP setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0% (Linear). Increasing the Exponential percentage value softens the control feel around neutral. Decreasing the Exponential percentage value heightens the control feel around neutral.D/R setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting is 100%. Increasing the Dual Rate percentage value increases servo travel and decreasing the Dual Rate percentage value decreases servo travel.Changing the Dual Rate Percentage Values, Continued....1) Move the Dual Rate switch to the position you would like to set a Dual Rate percentage value for, either 1 or 2. 2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to set the desired Dual Rate percentage value for the channel you chose previously.Exponential OverviewThe Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the elevator, aileron, and rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surfaces react to control stick movement. Increasing the Exponential value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value will heighten the control feel around neutral. For example, using a positive Exponential percentage value allows for smoother control by lessening the amount of servo travel in relation to the amount of control stick movement. Using a negative Exponential percentage value may result in more 'twitchy' control response because the amount of servo travel will be increased in relation to the amount of control stick movement. The Exponential function is linked directly to the Dual Rate switch. This allows you to program Exponential for each of the two Dual Rate positions separately.Exponential does not change the total amount of servo travel at maximum control stick deection. Exponential affects the ratio between servo travel and control stick movement at less than maximum control stick deection.

Page 69hELi MODEL TyPE16.Th-cURvE (ThROTTLE cURvE)The Throttle Curve function allows you to vary the amount of throttle servo travel in relation to the movement of the throttle control stick at different points throughout the entire range of deection. Five custom-programmable Points ensure a precise Throttle Curve to suit any situation. For example, if you are doing 3D ying, you can adjust the Throttle Curve so that you have maximum power and rotor head speed at both the low throttle control stick position and the high throttle control stick position when you have full negative and positive collective pitch for aerobatics, but reduced power when the throttle control stick is near the center, so that the rotor head will not overspeed with reduced collective.Included within the Throttle Curve function is the Throttle Hold function. The Throttle Hold function allows you to set a specic position that the throttle servo will Hold and not respond to the throttle control stick. This function is typically used to Hold the throttle at idle or low speed, while still allowing you full pitch control. This is ideal for practicing auto-rotations and is also a good safety feature on electric helicopters, because when Activated, the rotor head will not spin up if you accidentally bump the throttle control stick up.For greater exibility, the Throttle Curve and Throttle Hold functions can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes. A graph with Input and Output indicators help with programming visualization.WARNING When the Trim Flight Mode option is set to Separate or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1), Digital Trim values are stored in the specic Flight Mode you're using when you change the trim using the trim switches. For example, you could have 10 'clicks' of Up elevator trim in Flight Mode FN (Normal) and 5 'clicks' of Up elevator trim in Flight Mode F1. Be cautious of this when switching between Flight Modes during ight.If SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1) is chosen, throttle trim will NOT be adjustable when in Flight Mode F1.3) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose the desired Trim Flight Mode option, either COMMON, SEPARATE or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1).TRIM setting range is COMMON, SEPARATE, or SEPARATE TH-TRIM LOCK (F1). The default setting is COMMON.15.TRiM (DigiTaL TRiM)The TM-160 transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of control surface trim that you set during fight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and for that specic model. The Digital Trim values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON. The Trim function allows you to choose whether you want trim changes saved the same across all three Flight Modes or if you want trim changes saved separately for each of the three Flight Modes. In addition, an option to lock the throttle trim in Flight Mode F1 is also available. This feature is convenient when ying aerobatics in Flight Mode F1, because if accidentally hit, the throttle trim could change your Throttle Curve and cause unintended consequences.An audible double-tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. This allows you to know when the trim switches reach the center position without the need to look at the Trim Indicators on the Display screen.Choosing the Trim Flight Mode Option1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight TRIM, then press the ENTER key to display the TRIM menu.

For example, when you increase collective pitch, as the rotor head speed and pitch increase, the torque that it creates can cause the tail of the helicopter to pivot. Adding Revolution mixing helps prevent this from occurring, which makes the helicopter more stable in the yaw axis. The amount and the direction that the rudder moves with collective pitch control is adjusted by changing the High side and Low side percentage values.The Revolution Mixing function can be programmed for both the High and Low throttle sides independently.For greater exibility, the Revolution Mixing function can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in.

This mix is Linear.19.gyRO (REMOTE gyRO gain cOnTROL)The Remote Gyro Gain Control function allows you to control Heading Hold mode gain and Rate mode gain remotely. Two separate Remote Gyro Gain Control function settings can be programmed and one can be selected at any time using the two-position Gyro switch. For example, you might want 100% gain for aerobatic ight, but then switch to 75% gain for sport ying. In essence, when you assign a Remote Gyro Gain Control percentage value to each of the two Remote Gyro Gain Control function settings, you effectively have dual rates for your gyro, just like you have dual rates for your elevator, aileron, and rudder control surfaces. Depending on the Remote Gyro Gain Control function percentage values, you can adjust the gain in either Heading Hold mode or Rate mode. In addition, you can program a Heading Hold gain percentage value and a Rate gain percentage value separately, then switch between the two to aid in setting up your gyro.For greater exibility, the Remote Gyro Gain Control function can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or sepa-rately for each of the three Flight Modes.Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.Programming F-MODETransmitter F-MODEIMPORTANT In order to use this feature, your gyro must support Remote Gain.

Choose from FN, F1 or F2.Changing the Gyro Percentage ValuesThe Gyro percentage values determine both the amount of gain and the gyro operating mode - either Heading Hold mode or Rate mode. In general, positive values will result in your gyro operating in Heading Hold mode and negative values will result in your gyro operating in Rate mode. The amount of gain is determined by the percentage value.IMPORTANT Whether you use positive or negative Gyro percentage values to program your gyro in either Heading Hold mode or Rate mode will be determined by the NOR/REV settings of the gyro channel in the REVERSE menu. For example, if the gyro channel is set to NOR (Normal) in the REVERSE menu, positive Gyro percentage values may result in your gyro operating in Heading Hold mode, but if the gyro channel is set to REV (Reverse) in the REVERSE menu, positive Gyro percentage values may result in your gyro operating in Rate mode. You will need to test your gyro to ensure that it's operating in the desired mode based on the percentage values, then adjust the percentage values accordingly to achieve the desired amount of gain.You can program two different Remote Gyro Gain Control functions and control them using the Gyro switch. When programming Gyro percentage values, the 1> percentage value is controlled by the Gyro 1 switch position and the 2> percentage value is controlled by the Gyro 2 switch position.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight 1>100%.2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose the desired Gyro 1 percentage value.19.gyRO (REMOTE gyRO gain cOnTROL), cOnTinUED....3) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight 2>100%.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to choose the desired Gyro 2 percentage value.

Decreasing the GYRO percentage values decreases gyro gain and increasing the GYRO percentage values increases gyro gain. See the IMPORTANT note on the previous page regarding the use of positive and negative Gyro percentage values and how they may change your gyro operating mode.When the either the Gyro 1 or Gyro 2 percentage values are set to 0%, the gyro will be in 'pass-through' mode (e.g., OFF) for that selected Gyro function only.Changing the Gyro Percentage Values, Continued....20. & 21.c-MiX1 anD c-MiX2 (cOMPEnSaTiOn MiXing)The Compensation Mixing function is used to create your own custom mix if one of the pre-programmed mixes is not suitable. For example, you can create a custom mix that mixes elevator to throttle or that mixes rudder to throttle. Elevator to throttle mixing is typically used during 3D ying to provide a momentary burst of throttle under hard cyclic load. Rudder to throttle mixing is typically used to reduce the tendency of the helicopter to slightly rise and fall as you pirouette.Because any of the six channels can be programmed as a Master or a Slave, you are able to program custom mixes for just about any situation required. Compensation Mixes are composed of a Master channel and a Slave channel. Any of the available six channels can be programmed as a Master or a Slave. The same channel can even be programmed as both a Master and a Slave. In addition to programming the High and Low Rate percentage values, the Slave channel Offset percentage value can be changed to move the neutral point of the Slave channel servo when the Compensation Mixing function is Activated.For greater exibility, both Compensation Mixing functions can be programmed either the same for all Flight Modes or separately for each of the three Flight Modes.Transmitter F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that the transmitter is currently operating in. Programming F-MODE refers to the Flight Mode that you would like to change the programming for.Programming F-MODETransmitter F-MODEIn all cases, the Master channel always controls the Slave channel.Choosing the Flight Mode - Common or Separate1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming Menus.2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight either C-MIX1 or C-MIX2, then press the ENTER key to display the C-MIX1 or C-MIX2 menu.

Page 78hELi MODEL TyPEChoosing the Flight Mode - Common or Separate, Continued....Two Compensation Mixing functions are available, however, only one Compensation Mixing function can be Active at one time. If F-MODE is set to COMMON, both Compensation Mixing functions will controlled by the Compensation Mixing switch and Compensation Mixer 2 will always override Compensation Mixer 1. If F-MODE is set to SEPARATE, you can control one Compensation Mixing function using the Compensation Mixing switch and control the second Compensation Mixing function (programmed to a different Flight Mode) using a Flight Mode switch, however, keep in mind that higher numbered Flight Modes will always override lower numbered Flight Modes.Choosing the Master ChannelThe Master channel is the channel that controls the Slave channel. For example, if you set the Master channel to EL (Elevator), when you move the elevator control stick, the Slave channel that's mixed to the elevator channel will move. 1) Press the Navigation Pad 6to highlight MASTER>EL, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the desired Master channel.MASTER setting range is EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), TH (Throttle), RU (Rudder), GY (Gyro), and PI (Pitch). The default setting is EL (Elevator).Choosing the Slave ChannelThe Slave channel is the channel that is controlled by the Master channel. For example, if you set the Master channel to EL (Elevator) and the Slave channel to AI (Aileron), when you move the elevator control stick, the aileron servo will move. 1) Press the Navigation Pad 6to highlight SLAVE>EL, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the desired Slave channel.SLAVE setting range is EL (Elevator), AI (Aileron), TH (Throttle), RU (Rudder), GY (Gyro), and PI (Pitch). The default setting is EL (Elevator).Changing the Rate High and Rate Low Percentage ValuesBy changing the Rate High and Rate Low percentage values, you can program which direction the Slave channel servo travels in relation to the Master channel servo, and program how far the Slave channel servo travels relative to how far the Master channel servo travels.The Rate High and Rate Low percentage values are a ratio of Slave channel servo travel to Master channel servo travel. For example, if the Rate High percentage value is set to 10%, the Slave channel servo will travel 1/10th the amount in one direction that the Master channel servo travels. This mix is Linear.WARNING When a Compensation Mixer is Activated, you still have separate control over the Slaved channel, however, depending on the Rate High and Rate Low percentage values, the Slave channel End Point Adjustment could be exceeded. Be cautious to prevent any chance of overdriving your control linkage when the Compensation Mixing function is used.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight RATE Hi>0%.2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Rate High Percentage value.

Page 79hELi MODEL TyPERATE Hi and RATE Lo setting ranges are -150% to 150%. The default settings are 0%. Increasing or decreasing the Rate High and Rate Low percentage values will change the direction that the Slave channel servo travels and the amount that it travels relative to the Master channel servo.3) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight RATE Lo>0%.4) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Rate Low Percentage value.Changing the Rate High and Rate Low Percentage Values, Continued....Changing the Offset Percentage ValueThe Offset percentage value changes the neutral position of the Slave channel servo when the Compensation Mixing function is Activated. For example, when an Offset percentage value is programmed, the Slave channel servo neutral position and its two End Point positions will 'shift' the programmed amount.1) Press the Navigation Pad 6 to highlight OFFSET>0%.2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Offset Percentage value.OFFSET setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0%. Increasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral position of the Slave servo in one direction and decreasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral position of the Slave servo in the opposite direction.Compensation Mixing Sample - Mixing Rudder to ThrottleThe sample below describes how to mix rudder to throttle using Compensation Mixer 1 controlled by the Compensation Mixing switch. This mix is typically used to reduce the tendency of the helicopter to slightly rise and fall as you pirouette. For example, when you command a pirouette to the left, the helicopter will rise slightly and will require you to reduce throttle, and when you command a pirouette to the right, the helicopter will fall slightly and will require you to increase throttle.In this example, the Master channel is the Rudder channel and the Slave channel is the Throttle channel. The RATE Hi and RATE Lo percentage values dene how far Up and Down the throttle will move when the rudder is moved, and is a percentage of the amount the rudder is moved. To Activate this mix, Activate Compensation Mixer 1 by pulling the Compensation Mixer switch down.IMPORTANT When the Throttle channel is programmed as the Master channel, the Slave channel servo will not begin to move relative to the position of the throttle control stick until the throttle control stick reaches half throttle and above. Once the throttle control stick reaches half travel and above, the Slave channel servo will begin to move. If you require the Slave channel servo to move from Low throttle to High throttle, program the Compensation Mixer as shown in this example: MASTER>TH, SLAVE>RU, Rate Hi>25%, RATE Lo>25%, OFFSET>-25%.MASTER>RUSLAVE>THRATE Hi>10%RATE Lo>10%OFFSET>0%The positive and negative values shown in the example may vary based on the NOR/REV status of your aileron and elevator servos. You may need to change the percentage values to suit.1) Set up your swashplate, servo reversing, and control throws as desired. 2) Program the Compensation Mixer 1 options from the within the C-MIX1 menu, as shown at left.HELI MODEL TYPE

Aileron/Elevator Control Stick: Controls the Aileron and Elevator axes. The Aileron/Elevator Control Stick length is adjustable to suit your preference.Aileron Trim Switch: Used to control the Aileron axis Right and Left trim.Ailvator: Ailvator mixes ailerons and elevator, allowing you to have both roll control and pitch control on the elevator, separate from the ailerons. When Activated, not only will the two elevator halves move up and down together, but each elevator half can move up and down independently like ailerons. This function is commonly referred to as tailerons or stabilators.Antenna: Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model. The Antenna should be pivoted into the vertical position during use. When not in use, the Antenna should be collapsed into the horizontal position to prevent damage during handling and transport. Antenna Reception Wires: The portion of each of the receiver antenna wires that actually receives the transmitter signal. The Antenna Reception Wires should never be bent or they could be damaged and limit the range of the receiver.Battery Compartment: Houses the 6 cells that power the transmitter. The transmitter uses 6 cells for lighter weight and better feel, while still providing long usage time and high power output.Binding: The act of pairing the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from transmitters operated by other users. The transmitter and receiver must be paired so that the two can 'talk' to each other. Once the Binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are turned OFF.Bind Button: Used to Bind the transmitter and receiver. Also used to enter Low-Power Range Check mode. Bind LED: Displays the current status of the transmitter and receiver pair. CCPM: Collective, Cyclic, Pitch Mixing. CCPM is software-controlled mixing that allows control of the collective, cyclic and pitch using three (and sometimes four) servos. This allows lower mechanical complexity and greater control precision. In this conguration the cyclic and collective controls are mixed.CCPM Servo End Point Adjustment: The CCPM End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction for the elevator, aileron, and pitch servos independently. Unlike standard End Point Adjustment, which affects all the cyclic servos, CCPM End Point Adjustment allows you to adjust each cyclic servo independently without any affect on the other cyclic servos.Charging Jack: Used for onboard charging of the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH transmitter batteries.

The Coaxial Cables can be bent into gentle curves, however, do not bend the Coaxial Cables acutely, or repeatedly bend them, or the antenna wire's cores can be damaged.Compensation Mixing: Allows you to mix two channels together, then apply that mixing to the channels themselves. Useful if you need to program a mix that is not already pre-programmed.Delta Mixing: Delta mixing, more commonly referred to as Elevon mixing, combines the use of aileron and elevator from two separate control surfaces to provide both roll and pitch control.Differential: The Differential function allows you change the ratio of the Up to Down movement of each aileron. The Aileron Differential function can be used to eliminate aircraft yaw tendency by adding more movement to the upward moving aileron than the downward moving aileron.Digital Trim Memory: Allows the transmitter to store trim values in its memory. The amount of control surface trim that you set during ight using the trim switches is automatically stored in memory for that specic channel and for that specic model. The trim values for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON.Direct Model Select: Direct Model Select allows you to select one of three of your most-used models from memory without going through the Model Select menu.Dual Rate: The Dual Rate function allows you to change the control authority of the control surfaces by changing the amount of servo travel. You can use Dual Rate to lower the control throw with just the ip of the Dual Rate switch.Elevator Trim Switch: Used to control the Elevator axis Up and Down trim.End Point Adjustment: The End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it possible to balance control surface throw in both directions. For example, if you want your elevator to move Up and Down two inches in each direction, but the elevator moves Down more than two inches, decrease the End Point Adjustment in the Down direction, so that the elevator moves Up and Down the same amount.Exponential: The Exponential function allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the elevator, aileron, and rudder control sticks near the neutral positions to change the way the control surfaces react to control stick movement. Increasing the Exponential value will soften the control feel around neutral and decreasing the Exponential value will heighten the control feel around neutral.Fail Safe: The Fail Safe function automatically sets the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to a low transmitter battery.FH1 Modulation: Frequency Hopping 1st generation FHSS technology. FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. FHSS is a modulation type which transmits data across the entire frequency spectrum by transmitting data on different channels at an extremely fast interval.Flaperons: Flaperons is a mix of aps and ailerons, allowing you to use the ailerons as aps if your model does not feature separate aps. When Activated, both ailerons are moved down at the same time to provide the function of aps, while still providing aileron roll control.Flight Modes: Flight Modes allow you to change the ying characteristics of your model with the ip of a switch. For example, you can have one Flight Mode for normal ying and a second Flight Mode for aerobatic ying. Flip the Flight Mode switch from Flight Mode FN (Normal) to Flight Mode F1 and your model is now programmed with all of your 'Aerobatic' Flight Mode programming. With three programmable Flight Modes available for each Model Type, the combinations of model programming is highly-congurable.Flight Mode Key: Allows you to cycle through the three different Flight Modes during programming.Gyro: A Gyro is an electronic device, that coupled with a high-speed servo linked to the tail rotor control arm, is used to stabilize a helicopter's yaw axis.Inhibit: To deactivate or turn OFF a particular function.Landing Gear Switch: Used to control the operation of the Landing Gear channel. This channel is a non-proportional channel, and is ideal for controlling the retractable landing gear or any other non-proportional control function on your model.Low-Power Mode: The Low-Power Mode function lowers the transmitter's RF output level to check radio signal reception (Range Check). Use this function to check radio signal reception on the ground, prior to ight.REFERENCE

The Model Name can consist of up to 8 letters, numbers, or symbols. Choose from capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, and various symbols.Model Select: The Model Select function allows you to load the programming for the particular model you wish to y. The Programming Data for all of your models is accessed through the Model Select menu.Multi-Function LCD: The heart of the programming and display features of the transmitter. All programming and transmitter display functions are shown on the Multi-Function LCD.Navigation Pad: The Navigation Pad is used in conjunction with the Programming Keys to facilitate transmitter programming. The Navigation Pad allows you to quickly and easily move the Programming Cursor up and down, and right and left. The ENTERkey in the center of the Navigation Pad is used to open the selected menu or programming option.Neck Strap Anchor: Used to attach your neck strap (available separately) to the transmitter.Ni-MH: Short for Nickel Metal Hydride, a Ni-MH battery typically has about two to three times the capacity of an equivalently sized Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) battery, therefore, they are ideal for use to power both the transmitter and the receiver.Offset: The Offset function allows you to shift and hold the neutral position of the Slave servo within a Compensation Mix.Operating Voltage: The safe voltage that the transmitter or receiver can operate within. Exceeding the minimum operating voltage can result in loss of power to the device(s). Exceeding the maximum operating voltage can result in damage to the devices(s).Output Power: The power (in Milliwatts) that your transmitter transmits a signal. Output power is dened by government guidelines and differs by region.Pitch Curve: The Pitch Curve function allows you to vary the amount of pitch travel in relation to the movement of the throttle control stick at different points throughout the entire range of deection.Power Indicator: Indicates that there is power to the transmitter. When the battery voltage drops to 6.7 volts, the audible Low Voltage Alarm will sound.Power Switch: Turns the transmitter ON and OFF.Programming Keys: The Programming Keys are used to facilitate transmitter programming and select models stored in memory. The four Programming Keys consist of the INC+/M1 (Increase/Model 1) key, the DEC-/M2 (Decrease/Model 2) key, the END/M3 (End/Model 3) key, and the F-MODE (Flight Mode) key.RF Output Indicator: Illuminates when the transmitter is turned ON and transmitting a signal. If the RF Output Indicator fails to illuminate, RF output is limited or non-existent. In this case, you should not y. The RF Output Indicator will ash when the transmitter Trainer mode is set to Slave.Rudder Trim Switch: Used to control the Rudder axis Right and Left trim.Servo Centering Sub-Trim: The Servo Centering Sub-Trim function allows you to ne-tune the Center (Neutral) position of each servo. It's not unusual that when you install the servo horn onto your servo that the servo horn is not perfectly centered. The Servo Centering Sub-Trim function allows you to center the servo horn perfectly.Servo Monitor: The Servo Monitor displays the output levels of each of the 6 channels in bar graph form, allowing you to monitor servo operation in a virtual manner. This is helpful to see servo movement when the control sticks and switches are moved, and it allows you to visualize what is occurring with servo movements when you apply different mixing values. The Servo Monitor also indicates which channel slots in the receiver to plug your servos intoServo Reversing: Electronically switches the direction of servo travel. For example, if you move the elevator control stick forward, and the elevator moves up, you can use the Servo Reversing function to make the elevator move down.Spoilerons: Spoilerons is a mix of spoilers and ailerons, allowing you to use the ailerons as spoilers if your model does not feature separate spoilers. When Activated, both ailerons are moved up at the same time to provide the function of spoilers, while still providing aileron roll control.Stopwatch Timer: The Stop Watch timer is used to either count down from a programmed Start time (Count Down mode) or to count up from zero if no Start time is programmed (Count Up mode). In Count Down mode, an audible tone will sound in 1 second intervals when the Stop Watch reaches 10 seconds from zero. When zero is reached, a long audible tone will sound and the Stop Watch will begin to count up. In Count Up mode, an audible tone will sound at 1 minute intervals to remind you that the count down time (zero) has been surpassed. One of its more popular uses is to use it as a fuel usage indicator to remind you to land within an allotted amount of time to ensure that your model doesn't run out of fuel.Swashplate: The swashplate changes the pilot's linear cyclic (and often collective) control inputs into rotary blade pitch angle changes in the main rotor. It is the position of the swashplate that determines which direction the rotor disk will move in.REFEREncE

Page 85Temperature Range: The range in temperature of the outside air that the transmitter can safely and reliably operate in.Throttle/Rudder Control Stick: Controls the Throttle and Rudder axes. The Throttle/Rudder Control Stick length is adjustable to suit your preference. Throttle Cut: The Throttle Cut function allows you to set a specic position that the throttle servo will move to. The Throttle Cut function is primarily used to shut down your engine after ight.Throttle Hold: The Throttle Hold function allows you to set a specic position that the throttle servo will Hold and not respond to the throttle control stick. This function is typically used when ying helicopters to Hold the throttle at idle or low speed, while still allowing you full pitch control. This is ideal for practicing auto-rotations and is also a good safety feature on electric helicopters, because when Activated, the rotor head will not spin up if you accidentally bump the throttle control stick up.Throttle Trim Switch: Used to control the Throttle axis Up and Down trim.Trainer Port: The Trainer Port is where the trainer cable (available separately) is plugged into. An adapter to use the transmitter with a ight simulator can also be plugged into the Trainer Port.Trainer System: Provides a way of training pilots to y. During use, one transmitter acts as the Master (Instructor) and the other transmitter acts as the Slave (Student). The Instructor controls the Student's model as long as the Trainer Switch is released. Once the Instructor maneuvers the model to a safe altitude, the Instructor holds the Trainer Switch and the Student has control of the model. The Student will have control of the model as long as the Instructor holds the Trainer Switch. Once the Trainer Switch is released, the Instructor will have control of the model once again. If at any time the Instructor feels that the Student is in a situation that endangers the model, the Instructor releases the Trainer Switch and control of the model returns instantly to the Instructor.Trim Switch: Used to control the center trim of the channel that the Trim Switch is adjacent to.Type (Model Type): The Type function allows you to quickly set up the transmitter's low-level mixing based on the type of model you're ying. Common templates for AERO (Aircraft) and HELI (Helicopters) are provided. This takes the guess-work out of setting up more complex models.V-Tail Mixing: V-Tail mixing combines the use of elevator and rudder to provide pitch and yaw control. V-Tail mixing is commonly found on gliders and sailplanes that don't feature a separate vertical n and horizontal stabilizer.Z-Connector: The type of servo and battery connector used by Airtronics.
