synchronously, 16 channels pseudo random frequency hopping.
AT10II sells with dual antenna receiver R12DS which support SBUS and PWM signal output
simultaneous, signal coverage all around, never afraid of hilly terrain.
Besides R12DS, AT10II also compatible with Radiolink R6DS, R9DS, R10DS and super mini 10
channels receiver R6DSM and 12 channels mini dual antenna receiver R12DSM.
R6DS, is a 6 channels receiver when working with PWM signal while it is a 10 channels receiver
when working with SBUS or PPM signal.
R9DS, is a 9 channels receiver when working with PWM signal while it is a 10 channels receiver
when working with SBUS signal.
Pay Attention: AT10II is default 12 channels, you have to setup AT10II to 10 channels first if you
use receivers R6DS, R6DSM, R9DS and R10DS.
How to setup to 10 channels transmitter: power on your AT10II--Press Mode button one second to
into BASIC MENU--into SYSTEM menu--change CH-SELECT from 12CH to 10CH.
Since Radiolink radio control systems are not open source, that Radiolink transmitters just
compatible with Radiolink receivers and vice versa.
1.1.4 RSSI testing
Power on transmitter and receiver, keep transmitter apart from receiver about 30 centimeters and
the antenna straight.
Into the parameter setup menu by press MODE one second, you can check the RSSI in RECEIVE
menu.
The RSSI is 0 to 30dBm is normal when the transmitter is apart about 30 centimeters from the
Radiolink Electronic Ltd

receiver, the signal is more better the RSSI data is more close to 0.
1.2 RADIO INSTALLATION
1.2.1 Guidelines to mount the servos, receiver and battery
• Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is orient correctly and
‘key’ into the corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in .When
unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead.
• Receiver’s Antenna: In generally receiver’s antenna is longer than remote control, don’t break or
retract it, otherwise shorten the control distance. The antenna must be kept away from conductive
materials, such as metal. Please make distance test before flying.
• If your aileron servos are too far away to plug into the receiver, use an aileron extension cord to
extend the length. Avoid plugging multiple extensions together to obtain your desired length. If the
distance is greater than 50cm or high current draw servos are being used, use heavy servo
extensions.
• Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: the receiver contains precision electronic part. Be sure to
avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber
or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it
in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with
foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience
intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, please contact Radiolink after cares or distributors for
service.
• Always mount the servos with the supplied rubber grommets. Don’t over tighten the screws. No
part of the servo casing should contact the mounting rails, servo tray or any part of structure.
Otherwise, vibration will be transmitted to the servo causing damage of servo. Note the small
numbers (1, 2, 3, and 4) molded into each arm on the servo arms. The number indicate how many
degrees each arm is ‘off’ from 90 degrees to correct for minute manufacturing deviations from servo
to servo.
• To center the servos, connect them to receiver and turn on the transmitter and receiver.
Center the trims on the transmitter, then find the arm that will be perpendicular to the pushrod when
placed on the servo.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
7
• After the servos are installed, operate each servo over its full travel and check that the
pushrods and servo arms don’t bind or contact each other. Also make sure the controls do not
require excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable buzzing sound coming from a servo,
there is probably too much resistance in the control. Find and correct the problem. Even if there is
no servo damage, excess battery drain will result.
• Use the mounting plate from the receiver on/off switch as a template for the cutout and screw
holes, mount the switch on the side of the fuselage opposite the engine exhaust, and where it won’t
be inadvertently turned on or off during handling or storage. Be certain the switch moves without
restriction and ‘snaps’ from ON to OFF, and that the cutout allows full motion of the switch in both
directions.
• When install the switch harness to the helicopter please use the switch cover. Generally,
sandwich the frame between the switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws, Different
models might require different installations. If so, please follow the model’s instruction manual.
• To prevent the servo lead wires from being broken by vibration during flight, provide a slight
amount of slack or extra so that the wire sticks out slightly and fasten it at suitable points. In addition,
periodically check the wire during daily maintenance.

The above listed receiver and channels is referred to the channel 1~11 of the receiver R12DS,
connect the receiver with the related servo, you can control the servos by the correspondent switch.
To be clear, the servo connected with the receiver channel 1 is controlled by the radio aileron lever,
servo connected with channel 2 is controlled by elevator lever, servo connected with channel 3 is
controlled by throttle stick, servo connected with channel 4 is controlled by the rudder lever.
Channel 5~11 can be self-set with the related switches by the menu AUX-CH, and the sub menu.
For SBUS signal channel, is output by the 3 pins of 12 row.
Signal working modes:
There are two signal working modes, PWM and SBUS&PWM signal output. Short press ID SET
twice within 1s, the working mode will change. The RED led indicates the PWM output and
BLUE/PURPLE led indicates SBUS signal.
(1) PWM signal output working mode：RED led indicates PWM signal output, 11 channels totally.
(2) SBUS&PWM dual signal output working mode: BLUE/PURPLE led indicates SBUS&PWM
signal output at the same time with 12 channels totally. SBUS signal channel (3 pin of row 11)
outputs 12 channels of SBUS signal while PWM signal channels (3 pin from row 1 to row 10, i.e.,
CH3 to CH12) output PWM signals with 12 channels in total. The actual channel quantity of PWM
signal output depends on that of SBUS signal output used. E.g., If 4 channels of SBUS signal output

used, then there are only 8 channels of PWM signal output left.
1.2.3 Installment of antenna
1. Receiver Antenna Installment
① Keep antennas as straight as possible and 90° as below, or the effective control range will
reduce.
② Big models may contain metal parts that influence signal emission. In this case, antennas should be
positioned at both sides of the model to ensure the best signal status in all circumstances.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
11
③ Antennas should be kept away from metal conductor and carbon fiber at least half inch
away and no over bending.
④ Keep antennas away from motor, ESC or other possible interference sources.
Note Receiver contains some electronic components of high-precision. Be careful to avoid strong
vibration and high temperature.
When all the above steps are complete, please turn off the transmitter and repower on to test if the
receiver is correctly connected with it.
2. Transmitter Antenna Installment
① The transmitter antenna is adjustable so please make sure that the antenna never points
directly at the model when flying as this may possibly decrease the receiver signal.
②
Keep the antenna perpendicular to the transmitter to optimize the receiver performance. It
also depends on how you hold the transmitter. But in most cases, adjusting the antenna with
perpendicular position to the transmitter surface will achieve the best result. Please adjust the
transmitter antenna according to the way you hold the transmitter.
③
Never grip the antenna when flying as this degrades effective control range.
1.3 RADIO BASIC SETTING

1.3.3 Binding
Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. Receiver should bind to
transmitter before starting operation. Once binding is complete, the ID code will be stored in the
receiver and no further binding is necessary unless the receiver is used with another transmitter.
When you purchase a new R12DS, this procedure is necessary; otherwise, the receiver will not
work.
1. Put the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within 50 centimeters.
2. Power on AT10II and receiver R12DS. The RED LED will be on.
3. Turn on AT10II and it will automatically bind to the closest receiver.
4. There is a black binding button (ID SET) on the side of receiver. Press the button for more than
1 second and release, the RED (by default, could be Purple for SBUS&PWM signal output) LED will
flash, meaning binding process is ongoing.
5. When the LED stops flashing and is always on, binding is complete.
Make sure servos connected with the receiver can be operated by the transmitter.
Note
AT10II is default 12 channels and can be changed to 10 channels. In order to bind to
non-12-channel receivers (R6DS, R6DSM, R9DS), channel quantity needs to change to 10
channels.
How to setup the channel quantity of the transmitter: power on AT10II--Long press MODE to enter
BASIC MENU-- Toggle the CURSOR to select and enter SYSTEM --change CH-SELECT from
12CH to 10CH.

1.3.4 Transmitter Displays & Buttons
When you first turn on your transmitter, a confirmation double beep sounds, and the screen
shown below appears. Before flying, or even starting the engine, be sure that the model type and
name appearing on the display matches the model that you are about to fly! If you are in the wrong
model memory, servos may be reversed, and travels and trims will be wrong, leading to an
immediate crash.

Warning and error display
When the transmitter is powered on, warning or error may happen by the following probability:
1. Battery low voltage alarming
Lithium battery 2S-4S can fit for the transmitter, warning voltage can be self-set according to
different battery.
Setting step: power on the transmitter, press and hold MODE one second to enter basic menu,
and press PUSH to enter PARAMETER. Choose TX ALARM by DIAL and PUSH to change relative
data. Suggested min voltage is not less than 7.4V.
When the transmitter voltage is less than the setting voltage, it will beep till the transmitter is
powered off. Most important thing is to land your model plane when the transmitter alarms.
2. Mixing alarm
When the transmitter alarms mixing, it means at least one mixed switch is active. And when it is
inactive, warning will stop then. When the transmitter is powered on, in different model type, mixing
switch is shown as below:
ACRO: throttle cut, idle down, snap roll, air brake
GLID: butterfly, condition
HELI: throttle cut, throttle lock, speed up
If the warning continues even the related switch is set OFF, probably it is because some programs
mixed by one switch and status OFF reversed. Now you need to set mixing alarm again by DIAL.

2.3.3 End Point of servo travel adjustment (END POINT, also called EPA)
The most flexible version of travel adjustment is available. It independently adjusts each end of
each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo affecting both directions. Again, for
CCPM helicopters, be sure to see SWASH AFR prior to adjusting end points.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
20
Adjustability:
• Can set each direction independently.
• Ranges from 0% (no servo movement at all) to 140%. At a 100% setting, the
Throw of the servo is approximately 40°for channels 1-4 and approximately 55°for channels 5-8.
• Reducing the percentage settings reduces the total servo throw in that direction.
Examples:
• Adjust the throttle high end to avoid binding at the carburetor, and low end to allow for proper
carburetor closure.
• END POINT may be adjusted to 0 to keep a servo from moving one direction, such as flaps not
intended to also operate as spoilers.
• Retract servos are not proportional. Changing END POINT will not adjust the servo.
END POINT adjusts only the individual servo. It will have no effect on any other servo that is operated
in conjunction with this servo via mix or preset programming such as FLAPERON, AILEVATOR, etc.
This is so that each individual servo can be carefully fine-turn to avoid binding and other conflicts. To
adjust the total travel of a function such as FLAPERON, make the adjustments in that function's
controls. For CCPM helicopters, adjust the total travel of the function, such as collective pitch, in
SWASH AFR. Adjust the linkage or the END POINT? It is nearly always best to adjust your linkages
to get as close as possible prior to utilizing END POINT. The higher the END POINT setting, the better
position accuracy and the more servo power available at nearly any position (except if using digital
servos). Higher END POINT values also mean longer travel time to reach the desired position, as you
are utilizing more of the servo's total travel. (For example, using 50% END POINT would give you
only half the steps of servo travel, meaning every click of trim has twice the effect and the servo gets
there in half the time). End point (and moving the linkage) = torque, accuracy, but transit time to get
there.
• END POINT (instead of adjusting linkages) = travel time, but torque, accuracy.
Engine idle management: IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT: functions which work with the digital
THROTTLE TRIM to provide a simple, consistent means of engine operation. No more fussing with
getting trim in just the right spot for landings or take offs! For additional engine adjustments, see
THROTTLE-NEEDLE and THROTTLE DELAY.

The AT10II has digital trims which are different from conventional mechanical trim sliders. Each
TRIM LEVER is actually a two-direction switch. Each time the TRIM LEVER is pressed, the trim is
changed a selected amount. When you hold the TRIM LEVER, the trim speed will increase. The
current trim position is graphically displayed on the start up screen. The TRIM submenu includes
two functions that are used to manage the trim options.
（1） Trim reset (RESET): Electronically centers the trims to their default values. Note that the
SUB-TRIM settings and the trim STEP rate are not reset by this command.
（2） Trim step (STEP): changes the rate at which the trim moves when the TRIM LEVER is
activated. It may be set from 1 to 40 units, depending on the characteristics of the
MULTIROTOR. Most ordinary MULTIROTOR do well at about 2 to 10 units. Generally
larger trim steps are for models with large control throws or for first flights to ensure
sufficient trim to properly correct the model. Smaller trim steps are later used to allow
very fine adjustments in flight.
HELI models only: OFFSET is available in the idle ups. If OFFSET is inhibited, adjustment of the
TRIM LEVERS will adjust the trims for all flight conditions. If OFFSET is active, then moving the
trims within any one condition will affect only that condition.

2.3.5 SUB TRIM
SUB-TRIM: makes small changes or corrections to the neutral position of each servo. Range is
-120 to +120, with 0 setting, the default, being no SUB-TRIM.
We recommend that you center the digital trims before making SUB-TRIM changes, and that you try
to keep all of the SUB-TRIM values as small as possible. Otherwise, when the SUB-TRIM is of large
values, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
The recommended procedure is as follows:
• Measure and record the desired surface position;
• Zero out both the trims (TRIM RESET menu) and the SUB-TRIM (this menu);
• Mount servo arms and linkages so that the control surface’s neutral is as correct as possible; and
• use a small amount of SUB-TRIM to make fine corrections.

2.3.6 Servo Reversing (REVERSE):
Changes the direction an individual servo responds to a CONTROL STICK motion.
Since channel 9 and 10 are switch only, its servo REVERSE is in the AUX-CH control screen
with its switch assignment. Be sure to read the section on SWASH AFR before reversing any
servos.
Except with CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other
programming. If you use pre-built ACRO/ GLID functions that control multiple servos, such as
FLAPERON or V-TAIL, it may be confusing to tell whether the servo needs to be reversed or a
setting in the function needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each specialized function for
further details.

2.3.7 Dual/triple rates and exponential (D/R,EXP)
Dual/Triple Rates: reduce/increase the servo travel by flipping a switch, or (ACROGLID) they can
be engaged by any stick position. Dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, not just a
single (ex: channel 1) servo. For example, adjusting aileron dual rate will affect both aileron servos
when using FLAPERON or AIL-DIF, and both aileron and elevator servos’ travel when using
AILEVATOR or ELEVON or a CCPM helicopter.
Activation:
• Any SWITCH, A-H. If you choose a 3-position switch, then that dual rate instantly becomes a triple
rate.
• The glider programming offers you the choice of Condition. This option allows you to have a
separate rate for each of condition. (GLID)
• Stick position (ACRO GLID). (Ex: On rudder you normally use only the center 3/4 of the stick
movement except for extreme maneuvers such as snaps/spins/stalls. As long as your RUDDER
STICK does not exceed 90% (ie. stall turn), the rudder goes to high rate's 90%, which is a MUCH
higher amount of travel than your low rate at 89%)
Adjustability:
• Range: 0 - 140% (0 setting would deactivate the control completely.) Initial value=100%
• Adjustable for each direction (ACRO/ GLID)
(i.e. Up/down, left/right) (Ex: Most models fly upright without any elevator trim, but require some
down elevator when inverted just to maintain level flight. By increasing the down travel by the
amount required to hold the model inverted, the model now has equal travel available from level
Radiolink Electronic Ltd

24
upright or level inverted.
Only if any stick is chosen by the item of "SW1", a switch can also be chosen by the item of
"SW2." When operated simultaneously, the switch operation has priority over the stick operation.
(ACRO)
Exponential:
Change the response curve of the servos relative to the stick position to make fly more pleasant.
You can make the servo movement less or more sensitive around neutral for rudder, aileron,
elevator, and throttle (except HELI type use THROTTLE CURVE instead). (ACRO type throttle EXP
and THROTTLE CURVE can not be activated simultaneously). Many models require a large
amount of travel to perform their best tricks.
However, without exponential, they are touchy around neutral, making them unpleasant to fly and
making small corrections very difficult. Additionally, by setting different exponentials for each rate,
you can make the effectiveness of small corrections similar in each rate, as in our example below:
The best way to understand exponential is to try it:
• Having made no changes yet in the D/R, EXP screen, move SWITCH D to DOWN (toward the
AILERON STICK).
• Move SWITCH D up. Hold the AILERON STICK at 1/4 sticks and moves SWITCH D down.
• Notice how much less travel there is.
• Go to 3/4 stick and repeat. Notice how the travel is much closer, if not identical.
Adjustability:
• More sensitive around neutral. (Positive exponential)
• Less sensitive around neutral. (Negative exponential)
• Adjustable for each direction. (ACRO/GLID)
For throttle, exponential is applied at the low end to help nitro and gasoline engines have a linear
throttle response, so that each 1/4 stick increases engine RPM 25% of the available range. (In most
engines this ranges from 5-60%)
Special note for helicopters: Helicopter model types have just a single rate for each switch
position rather than a rate for each side of the servo's travel per switch position. Additionally, setting
the D/R, EXP for each switch position requires cursor back to the No. setting and changing the
switch position here. Just flipping the switch does not affect the screen setting, allowing dual rates
to be assigned with idle-up and other features on certain switches, and does not require putting the
model in that condition to make modifications.
Special note for conditions: The helicopter and glider programming offers you the choice of
COND. This option allows you to have a separate rate for each of the 3 controls automatically
selected when changing conditions, for a total of FIVE rates available. Simply change the switch
choice to COND. and then:
(HELI) press the CURSOR LEVER to toggle through the 5 conditions while setting the rates.
(GLID) activate the corresponding condition to edit the rates.

switch (with THROTTLE STICK at idle). The movement is largest at idle and disappears at high
throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. In HELI, there is an additional setting.
The switch's location and direction must be chosen. It defaults to NULL to avoid accidentally
assigning it to a switch, which might result in an unintentional dead stick in flight.

HELICOPTER
This function is used to stop engine after flight is finished. You can set engine powered on/ off,
without shifting trim stick to power off and set again every time before flight. Throttle shut for
helicopter includes THR ON/ OFF (position above idle down). Before resetting throttle cut, throttle
stick must keep below setting point to avoid a sudden speeding up.
Notification: trigger point setting step: under the menu THR CUT, choose THRO by DIAL, and
press PUSH and move the throttle stick to trigger point, then press and hold PUSH one second to
save. This function only when the throttle stick moves below trigger point.
2.3.9 IDLE DOWN (ACRO only)
Lowers the engine idle for: set for sitting on the runway prior to take off, stalls and spins, and
landings. The normal idle setting is a little higher for easier starts and safe flights with less risk of
dead sticks.
【IDLE DOWN】
MIX：INH
RATE： 0%
SW：SwC
POST：Ct&Dn
Important note: The IDLE-DOWN function is not normally used when starting the engine, and its
accidental operation may keep your engine from starting. The AT10II warns that IDLE-DOWN is on
when the transmitter is turned on. Be sure to turn off the function, or override the warning by
pressing CURSOR lever if you intended the function to be on.
This may be assigned to any switch/position. Some modelers accidentally assign IDLE-DOWN to
one side of a switch and THR-CUT to the other. There is no "normal" setting to start the engine. By
default IDLE-DOWN is get to SWITCH C center and down. This works well with THR-CUT also on
SWITCH C down. The SWITCH C up is normal flight/starting, center for slower maneuvers/landing,
and down to cut the engine. If you assign IDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT to the spring-loaded TRAINER
SWITCH H or F, then use the trainer function, you may risk loss of throttle control or dead stick for
your student.

• The NOR (normal) setting holds the servo in its last commanded position.
• The F/S (Failsafe) function moves each servo to a predetermined position.
• NOTE: the setting of the throttle's F/S also applies to the Battery F/S.
• The F/S is used in certain competitions to spin the MULTIROTOR to the ground prior to flying
away and doing potential damage elsewhere. Conversely, may also be used to go to neutral on all
servos, hopefully keeping the plane flying as long as possible.
• Competition modelers often maintain the NOR function so that brief interference will not affect
their model's maneuver.
• Set the throttle channel so that the engine idles when there is interference (ACRO). This may
give enough time to fly away from and recover from the radio interference and minimize damage if
crashed.
• For helicopters, NOR is typically the safest choice.
•We also recommend setting a gasoline engine's electronic kill switch to the OFF position in the
F/S function for safety reasons.
If you specify a F/S setting, the Failsafe data is automatically transmitted once each two minutes.
(PCM) When you choose the F/S mode, check that your settings are as desired by turning off the
transmitter power switch and verifying that the servos move to the settings that you chose. Be sure
to wait at least two minutes after changing the setting and turning on the receiver power before
turning off the transmitter to confirm your changes have been transmitted.

2.3.11 Auxiliary Channel Function (including channel 9-12 controls)
(AUX-CH): defines the relationship between the transmitter controls and the receiver output for
channels 5-12. Also, the CH9-12 POSI are used to change the CH9-12 servo direction.
Note that the CH9-12 functions are only visible in the AUX-CH screen and modulation mode must
be PCM or 2.4G.
Adjustability:
Auxiliary channel: The auxiliary channel switch is used to do some auxiliary functions, such as
opening or closing the throwing chamber, opening or closing the control machine that releases
smoke, etc. Each auxiliary channel can be customized with any switch, slider or knob to control
(The slider knob is usually used in the pan/tilt camera), or multiple channels can be set on the same
switch, slider or knob, and the setting effect can be viewed on the'rudder amount display' interface
of the remote control.
Vehicle and ship models generally have 2 basic channels, and airplane models generally have
4 basic channels. All channels except for the basic channels of the remote control are auxiliary
channels.
AT10II can not only customize the auxiliary channels, but also customize the 4 basic channels
to meet the personalized needs of model friends to a greater extent. The specific setting methods
are as follows:
Long press the Mode button for 1 second to enter the basic menu, turn the CURSOR button to
select'System Settings', tap the Push button for 1 second to enter the'System Settings' menu, then
select the'Joystick Mode' to "—", tap End once Key to return to the basic menu interface, and then
use the CURSOR key to select "auxiliary channel" to see the following interface.

• MIX: When the TRAINER SWITCH is ON, the channel set to this mode can be controlled by both
the student and the instructor, controlled according to any mixing set at the instructor's transmitter.
And the student's mixing rate is adjustable. (Default 30%)
[Note] However, it becomes invalid even if it sets up the channel which is not in a student's
transmitter. The channel serves as operation by the instructor's transmitter automatically.
• OFF: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student even when the TRAINER
SWITCH is ON. The set channel is controlled by the instructor only, even when the TRAINER
SWITCH is ON.
• SWITCH: controlled by spring-loaded SWITCH H only. Not assignable.
• Compatibility: The AT10 may be master or student with any Radiolink transmitter compatible with
the cord. Simply plug the optional trainer cord (For AT10 series, sold separately) into the trainer
connection on each transmitter, and follow the guidelines below.
EXAMPLES:
•When throttle/collective is set to FUNG, 5-channel helicopter practice is possible with a 4-channel
transmitter.
• Set up the model in a second transmitter, use NORM mode to quickly and safely check proper
operation of all functions, and then allow the student radio to fully fly the model.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd

• Using NORM mode, set lower throws, different exponentials, even different auxiliary channel
settings on the student radio (if it has these features).
• To ease the learning curve, elevator and aileron may be set to the NORM or FUNC mode, with
the other channels set to OFF and controlled by the instructor.
NOTE:
• NEVER turn on the student transmitter power.
•ALWAYS set the student transmitter modulation mode to PPM.
• BE SURE that the student and instructor transmitters have identical trim settings and control
motions. Verify by switching back and forth while moving the control sticks.
• FULLY extend the instructor's antenna. Collapse the student's antenna. (Except 2.4GHz)
• When the TRAINER function is active, the snap roll function is deactivated. Other functions, such
as IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT, which have been assigned to the same switch, are not deactivated.
Always double check your function assignments prior to utilizing the TRAINER function.
•When you select a different model, the TRAINER function is deactivated in the current model for
safety reasons.

Part 3. ACRO ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS
3.1 AIRPLANE WING TYPES (ACRO/GLID):
There are 3 basic wing types in MULTIROTOR models:
• Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver
channel) and has a tail. This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming.
• Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. See TWIN AILERON SERVOS.
• Tail-less models (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and
pitch control. See ELEVON.
Twin Aileron Servos (with a tail) (ACRO/GLID): Many current generation models use two aileron
servos, plugged into two aileron servos, plugged into two separate receiver channels. (If your model
is a flying wing without separate elevators, see ELEVON)
ADVANTAGE:
• Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
• Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.
• Ease of assembly and more torque per surface by not requiring torque rods for a single servo to
drive 2 surfaces.
• Ease of assembly and more torque per surface by not requiring torque rods for a single servo to
drive 2 surfaces.
• Having more up aileron travel than down travel for straighter rolls, aileron differential. (See
glossary for definition.)
• Set a negative percentage to reverse the operation of one of the servos.
Options:
• 5-channel receiver. Set up AILE-2 prior to continuing with FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF.
• FLAPERON:
•Uses CH6 for the second servo
• Allows flap action as well as aileron action from the ailerons.
• Provides FLAP-TRIM function to adjust the neutral point of the FLAPERON for level flight.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
36
• Also allows aileron differential in its own programming (instead of activating AIL-DIFF).
• Uses CH7 for the 2nd servo (see AIL-2 use CH5)
• Leaves CH5 & CH6 free for flap operation, such as FLAPERON and flap action together, in
AIRBRAKE.
• Allows for more up aileron travel than down for straighter rolls. You will need to choose which of
FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF is better for your model's setup. If you need the ailerons to also operate as
flaps, you most likely want to use FLAPRON. If your model has 2 aileron servos and flaps, then
AIL-DIFF is probably the easiest choice.
NOTE: Only one of the three wing-type functions (FLAPERON, AIL-DIFF, and ELEVON) can be
used at a time. All three functions cannot be activated simultaneously. To activate a different wing
type, the first must be deactivated.
3.2
TWIN AILERON SERVOS (5-channel receiver, AILE-2 , ACRO/GLID)
AILE-2 allows FLAPERON and AIL-DIFF with a 5-channel receiver. AILE-2 only tells the radio that
you are using CH5 and CH6 (FLAPERON), or CH5 and CH7 (AILDIFF), not CH6 or CH7, as the
second servo in FLAPERON or AILE-DIFF. You still must activate and set up the
FLAPERON/AILE-DIFF function.
Note that selecting CH6&5 or CH7&5 does NOT free up CH6 or CH7 to be used for other
functions when using a receiver with more than 5 channels. Both 5 and 6 (FLAPERON/AILE-DIFF)
are dedicated to the FLAPERON or AILE-DIFF programming. [This is beneficial with four aileron
servos that need to have their end points or sub-trims set separately. CH1, CH5 and CH6 are
already fully set up to operate as ailerons. Mix the CH7 or CH8 (the second aileron servo on the
other side) into ailerons to function properly.

There are 4 basic tail types in MULTIROTOR models:
• Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness).
This is the default.
• Dual Elevator servos. Model uses 2 elevator servos.
• Tail-less models. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. See ELEVON
(ACRO/ GLID 1A+1F).
• V-TAIL. Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. see V-TAIL
(ACRO/ GLID).
Note
: Only one of the three tail-type functions (AILEVATOR, V-TAIL, and ELEVON) can be used
at a time. The radio provides a warming and will not allow the activation of another tail type until the
first is deactivated. An error message of OTHER WING MIXING IS ON will display.
Using ELEVON (ACRO/GLID 1A+1F): it is used with delta wings, flying wings, and other tailless
MULTIROTOR that combine aileron and elevator functions, using two servos, each one on the
ELEVON. The aileron/elevator responses of each servo can be adjusted independently. This is also
popular for ground model use, such as tanks, which drive two motors together for forward, and one
motor forward/ one backward for turning.
3.3 ACRO ADVANCE FUNCTION MENU
Mixes are special programs within the radio that command one or more channels to act together
with input from only one source, such as a stick, slider or knob.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
37
There are a variety of types of mixes:
TYPE:
• Linear: Most mixes are linear. A 100% linear mix tells the slave servo to do exactly what the
master servo is doing, using 100% of the slave channel’s range to do so. An example is
FLAPERON, when aileron stick is moved, the flap servo is told to move exactly the same amount. A
50% linear mix would tell the slave servo, for example, to move to 50% of its range when the
master’s control is moved 100%.
• Offset: An OFFSET mix is a special type of linear mix. When the mix is turned on (usually a flip of
a switch), the slave servo is moved a set percent of its range. An example of this is AIRBRAKE,
moving flaps, FLAPERON, and elevator all to a set position at the flip of a switch.
• Curve: Curve mixes are mostly used in helicopters, but may also be used in airplanes and gliders.
An example is THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing, where the in-flight needle’s servo is moved, changing
the mixture, as the throttle servo is moved.
• Delay: Delay mixes are part of a few very special functions that make the servo move to its desired
range more slowly.
THROTTLE DELAY (simulates turbine engines) and the elevator delays in AIRBRAKE are two
examples of this. DELAY in HELI is another example that slows the servo movement to the trim
settings for the other conditions.
Essentially every feature in the radio's programming is really a mix, with all
assignments/programming set up and ready to use. Additionally, the AT10II ACRO and GLID
programs both provide 4 linear and 4 curve fully-programmable mixes ( HELI provides 4 linear and
2 curve) that allow you to set up special mixes to resolve flight difficulties, activate additional
functions, etc.
Let’s look quickly at a few examples that are features we’ve already covered. This may help to
clarify the mix types and the importance of mixes:
Additional example:
• Exponential is a preprogrammed curve mix that makes the servos’ response more (+) or less (-)
sensitive around center stick (works in conjunction with dual rate, a linear mix that adjusts the total
range). see D/R,EXP,
• IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT are two OFFSET pre-programmed mixes. These tell the throttle servo,
when below a certain point, to move toward idle an additional set percentage to help close the
carburetor.
• ELEV-TO-FLAP mixing is a pre-programmed linear mix to move the flaps proportionally to elevator
control, helping the model loop even tighter than it can on elevator alone.
• THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing is a curve mix (like PROG.MIX 5 to 8) for proper in-flight needle
setup.
• THROTTLE DELAY mixing is a pre-programmed delay mix that slows down the response of the
CH3 servo.
Next, we'll get an in-depth look at some pre-programmed mixes (mixes whose channels are
predefined for simplicity) we’ve not covered yet, and last, look at the fully-programmable mix types.
3.3.1 Program MIX
AT10II contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer #5-8’s mixing RATE are
set with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing. See CURVE MIXES
There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here. All of the
adjustable parameters are listed below, but don’t let them scare you. For your first few times

experimenting with mixes, just turn on the default mixes, adjust them how you think they need to be,
then use the servo screen to check and see if you were correct. As with all functions, a sample
setup follows, step by step, to assist you.
Sample reasons to use linear programmable mixes:
• To correct bad tendencies of the MULTIROTOR (such as rolling in response to rudder input).
• To operate 2 or more servos for a single axis (such as two rudder servos).
• To automatically correct for a particular action (such as lowering elevator when flaps are lowered).
• To operate a second channel in response to movement in a first channel (such as increasing the
amount of smoke oil in response to more throttle application, but only when the smoke switch is
active).
• To turn off response of a primary control in certain circumstances (such as simulating one engine
flaming -out on a twin, or throttle-assisted rudder turns, also with a twin).
Adjustability:
• Defaults: The 4 programmable mixes default to the most frequently used mixes for simplicity. If
you want to use one of these mixes, simply select that mix number so that the master and slave
servos are already selected for you.
• PROG.MIX1 aileron-to-rudder for coordinated turns
• PROG.MIX2 elevator-to-flap for tighter loops (HELI mixes default to ELEV-to-pitch.)
• PROG.MIX3 flap-to-elevator to compensate pitching with flaps (HELI mixes default to
pitch-to-ELEV)
• PROG.MIX4 throttle-to-rudder ground handling compensation
•Channels available to mix: All four mixes may use any combination of CH1-8. (CH9-10 is not
proportional and cannot be mixed.) Offset and dials may also be set to the master channels.
•Master: the controlling channel, the channel whose movement is followed by the slave channel.
•Another channel: Most mixes follow a control channel. (Ex: rudder-to-ailerons, 25%, no switch,
corrects roll coupling.)

•Link: Link this programmable mix with other mixes.
Ex: PMIX FLAP-ELEVATOR mixing to correct for ballooning when flaps are lowered, but model has
a V-tail. Without LINK, this mix only moves CH2 elevator when flap is commanded, resulting in a
dangerous combination of yaw and roll. With LINK ON, mixing is applied to both CH2 and CH4.

Ex: two rudder servos. With TRIM OFF, rudder trim would bind the two servos. TRIM ON resolves

• On/off choices:
• SWITCH: Any of the positions of any of the 8 switches may be used to activate a mix. Up&Cntr,
Cntr&Dn options allow the mix to be ON in 2 of the 3 positions of a 3-position SWITCH.
• NULL: No SWITCH can turn this mix OFF. This mix is active at all times.
• LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned.
• STK-THR: Turn on/off by THROTTLE STICK movement. Trigger point/direction are selectable. Ex:
OFST-to-(gear doors) mix to open gear doors at idle, which is only active if throttle is below half.

model types.
• ELEV-PIT (HELI) mix: Compensate for the loss of lift of tilting the model
3.3.2 Curve Programmable Mixes (PROG.MIX5-8)(HELI: PROG.MIX5-6 ):
AT10’s ACRO/GLID programs contain four separate curve programmable mixes. HELI contains two.
There are a variety of reasons you might want curve mixes. Usually a linear mix doesn't fit your
needs along the whole range. One pre-programmed curve mix is the THROTTLE-NEEDLE function.
This curve is adjustable at 5 points, allowing you to adjust the motor’s tuning at 5 points along its
RPM range.
One programmable curve mix defaults to RUDDER-AILERON. A linear mix that keeps the model
from rolling in knife-edge is probably too much aileron when rudder is applied in level flight. Create a
curve mix and set all 5 points to match the linear mix. Inhibit the linear mix, and then adjust the
curve to get the right response all along the rudder channel’s travel.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• ACRO/GLID Defaults: The 4 programmable curves mixes default to the most frequent choices, but
can be set to any channel.
• PROG.MIX5 rudder-to-aileron for roll coupling compensation (GLID mixes default to
aileron-to-ELEV.)
• PROG.MIX6 rudder-to-aileron for roll coupling compensation (GLID mixes default to
aileron-to-ELEV.)
• PROG.MIX7 rudder-to-elevator for pitch coupling compensation (GLID mixes default to
elevator-to-airbrake.)
• PROG.MIX8 rudder-to-elevator for pitch coupling compensation (GLID mixes default to
elevator-to-airbrake.)
• HELI Defaults:
• PROG.MIX5 aileron-to-elevator for coordinated turns
• PROG.MIX6 aileron-to-elevator for coordinated turns
• Master: The controlling channel can only be a channel. Cannot OFFSET or dial.

3.3.3 FLAPERON (ACRO/GLID 1A+1F ):
ACRO GLID
The FLAPERON mixing function uses one servo on each of the two ailerons, and uses them for
both aileron and flap function. For flap effect, the ailerons raise/lower simultaneously. Of course,
aileron function (moving in opposite directions) is also performed.
Note: When changing the polarity of a rate, "change rate dir?" is displayed for a check. Please
set up after pressing DIAL for 1 second and canceling an alarm display. (GLID only)
Once FLAPERON is activated, any time you program CH6 or "flap" (i.e. ELEVATOR mixing), the
radio commands both servos to operate as flaps. The amount of travel available as flaps is
independently adjustable in FLAPERON. A trimming feature is also available (see FLAP-TRIM) to
adjust both neutral positions together for straight-and-level flight or slight increases/decreases of
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
42
the flap angle. END POINT and SUB-TRIM both still adjust each servo individually.
Adjustability:
• Each aileron servo up travel can be set separate from its down travel, creating aileron differential.
(See example).
• Each aileron servo's travel when actuated as a flap is separately adjustable.
• AILE-2 can be utilized to use a 5-channel receiver and still have FLAPERON. NOTE: The AILE-2
function only commands the channel 5 servo to operate with the aileron servo as ailerons, and to
obey the primary flap control (travel adjusted in FLAP-TRIM.) It does not provide full flap mix
capability as when using a 6+ channel receiver and channel 6.
• The separate FLAPERON settings for each condition can be set. (GLID)
Note: Activating FLAPERON only makes the ailerons work as ailerons and tells the radio how far
you want them to move as flaps. If you then activate other programming that moves them as flaps.
FLAP-TRIM is the flap-trimming feature that allows the flaps to move in reaction to the channel 6
control. It is meant only for trimming the flaps' center but can also be used as full flap control.
ELEVATOR-FLAP would add elevator mixing into the flap movement from the flap dial after
FLAP-TRIM is activated.

Using FLAP-TRIM to adjust FLAPERON (ACRO/GLID)
ACRO GLID

FLAP-TRIM assigns the primary FLAPERON control [defaults to VR(A)] to allow trimming in flight of
the flap action of FLAPERON.
Note: Even if FLAP-TRIM is made active with AIL-DIFF, it will not have any effect. The ONLY
function that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AIL-DIFF configuration is AIRBRAKE. Most
modelers use AIRBRAKE, or programmable mixes, to move the flaps to a specified position via
movement of a switch.
FLAP-TRIM may also be used as the primary flap control in flight. By doing so, you can assign CH6
to a 3-position switch, with a "SPOILERON", neutral, and "FLAPERON" position, and even adjust
the percentage traveled as FLAPERON/SPOILERON by changing the Flap Trim travel.

3.3.5 AILE DIFF (ACRO/ GLID 2A+1F/ GLID 2A+2F)
ACRO GLID (2A+1F)/GLID (2A+2F)
Aileron differential is primarily used on 3 or 4-servo wings, with one servo operating inboard flap on
CH6 or CH5 & CH6, and AILE-DIFF controlling proper aileron operation of 2 aileron servos, plugged
into CH1 and CH7. The ailerons can not be moved like flaps when using AILE-DIFF, except if using
AIRBRAKE. (Note that even if you make FLAP-TRIM active while using AILE-DIFF, it will not have
any effect. ONLY AIRBRAKE controls the ailerons as flaps in the AILE-DIFF configuration.)
Note: When changing the polarity of a rate in camber-flap, "change rate dir?" is displayed for a

3.3.6 Air Break (ACRO/ GLID)
ACRO GLID
Like FLAPERON and AILEVATOR, AIRBRAKE is one function that is really made up of a series of
pre-programmed mixes all done for you within the radio. AIRBRAKE (often called "crow" or
BUTTERFLY - see GLID, p. 62 for details) simultaneously moves the flap (if installed), twin ailerons
(if installed) and elevator, and is usually used to make steep descents or to limit increases in
airspeed in dives.
This function is often used even on models without flaps as an easy way to use the FLAPERON and
FLAP-ELEVATOR mixing together.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Activation: be proportional by moving the THROTTLE STICK, or set positions by flipping the
assigned switch.
• Switch: Mix SWITCH is selectable.
• Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned.
• Linear(Inversely proportional to THROTTLE STICK): Provides a proportional increase in amount
of AIRBRAKE action as THROTTLE STICK is lowered and assigned switch is on. It provides
gradually more AIRBRAKE as you slow the engine. Includes selectable stick position where
AIRBRAKE begins, gradually increasing to the same setting as the THROTTLE STICK is lowered. If
you would like to have the airbrake be directly proportional to throttle stick, you will
need to reverse the THR-REV function. Note that this changes the throttle stick direction for all
models.
• Offset: Provide AIRBRAKE response immediately upon switch movement, going to a pre-set
travel on each active channel without any means of in-flight adjustment.
• During Airbrake operation, the elevator travel is displayed on the elevator trim display in the
Startup screen.
•Delayed reaction: You can suppress sudden changes in your model's attitude when AIRBRAKE
BUTTERFLY is activated by setting the delay (delay-ELEV) item, to slow down the elevator
response, allowing the flaps/ailerons/elevator to all reach their desired end point together. A setting
of 100% slows the servo to take approximately one second to travel the prescribed distance. (GLID:
B.FLY-ELEV function)
• Adjustable in flight (ACRO): Using the aileron (when AILE-DIFF or FLAPERON is activated) and
elevator trim lever in flight can be set to adjust the aileron and elevator settings in your airbrake
rather than adjusting the model's actual aileron and elevator trim. This allows easy adjustment for
any ballooning while in flight. When the airbrake switch is moved to off the trim is again adjusting
the normal elevator trim.
• Channels controlled: Elevator, twin ailerons and flap may be set independently in AIRBRAKE,
including set to 0 to have no effect.
• If FLAPERON is active, the travel of the ailerons can be independently adjusted for the servos
plugged into CH1 and CH6. The flap choice has no effect on the FLAPERON.
• If AIL-DIFF is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
• Normally both ailerons are raised equally in AIRBRAKE, and the elevator motion is set to maintain
trim when the ailerons rise. Different amounts may be set for each aileron to correct for torque

reactions and other unique characteristics of the model.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in AIRBRAKE BUTTERFLY. Along
with creating an enormous amount of drag (desirable for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in",
a higher angle of attack where the ailerons are, and encourages tip stalling.
If you are using this for aerobatic performance and not "sudden stops", consider raising the ailerons
and dropping the flaps instead as shown in the diagram above.

3.3.7 ELEV-FLAP mixing (ACRO/GLID):
ACRO GLID
ELEV-FLAP mixing is the first pre-programmed mix we'll cover. This mix makes the flaps drop or
rise whenever ELEVATOR STICK is moved. It is most commonly used to make tighter pylon turns
or squarer corners in maneuvers. In most cases, the flaps droop (are lowered) when up elevator is
commanded.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
46
Adjustability:
• Rate: -100% (full up flap) to +100% (full down flap), with a default of +50% (one-half of the flap
range is achieved when the ELEVATOR STICK is pulled to provide full up elevator.)
• Switch: Fully assignable. Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned. IF you set it to NULL, the
mix does not work. (ACRO)
•Range (GLID): The range that mixing does not work near neutral of an elevator stick can be set up.

3.3.8 Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO):
Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. (Flying wings without
a separate aileron control use ELEVON. V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL,
ADVANTAGE:
•Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
• Ease of assembly, not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.
• Elevators acting also as ailerons for extreme stunt flying or more realistic jet flying (optional).
• Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• CH2 and CH8 only. (With programmable mixing, could utilize CH5 as the 2nd elevator servo.
THROTTLE-NEEDLE uses CH8 and cannot be active simultaneously).
• Direction of each servo's travel may be reversed in REVERSE or the set percentages may be
reversed here.
• Elevator travels independently adjustable (both directions and percent).
•Optional action as ailerons (defaults to 50% response). This response cannot be activated/
deactivated in flight. Setting AIL1 and 2 to 0 disables this feature.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
47
Note: if you want this, but on/off with a switch, set AIL1 and 2 to 0 here, and use 2 mixes.
AIL-to-AUX2 (link/trim off, assign a switch), get aileron action from the elevator servos when the
assigned switch is on.
The AILEVATOR mixing function uses one servo on each of the two elevators, and combines the
elevator function with the aileron function (unless aileron travel is set to 0). For aileron effect, the
elevators are raised and lowered opposite of one another in conjunction with the ailerons.’
Once AILEVATOR is activated, unless you zero out the aileron figures (see below), any time you
move your ailerons or any programming moves your ailerons (i.e. RUDDER-AILERON mixing), the
radio automatically commands both elevator servos to also operate as ailerons. To deactivate this
action, simply set the 2 aileron travel settings to 0 in the AILEVATOR function. This way the
elevators will work only as elevators.

3.3.9 Snap Rolls (ACRO)
This function allows you to execute snap rolls by flipping a switch, providing the same input every
time. It also removes the need to change dual rates on the 3 channels prior to performing a snap, as
SNAP-ROLL always takes the servos to the same position, regardless of dual rates, inputs held
during the snap, etc.
Note: Every MULTIROTOR snaps differently due to its C.G., control throws, moments, etc. Some
models snap without aileron; others snap on elevator alone. Most models snap most precisely with
a combination of all 3 surfaces. Additionally, rate of speed and acceleration when using the snap
switch will affect how the model snaps. For information using gyros with airplanes for cleaner
precision maneuvers, such as snaps and spins without over rotation.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Travel: Adjust the amount of elevator, aileron and rudder travel automatically applied.
• Range: -120 to +120 on all 3 channels. Default is 100% of range of all 3 channels.
• Directions: Up to 4 separate snaps is fully adjustable regarding travels and direction on each of the
3 channels.
Note: for simplicity, the radio refers to snaps that use “UP” or positive elevator as “U” or “UP” snaps.
This is more commonly referred to as a positive or inside snap. “D” or “DOWN” snaps are more
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
48
commonly referred to as negative or outside snaps.
• R/U = Right positive R/D = Right negative L/U = Left positive L/D = Left negative snap roll.
• Assignment of the 2 switches (DIR-SW1/2) to change snap directions is fully adjustable and
optional. If you wish to have only one snap, leave the switches as NULL. (If assigned,
SW1=up/down, SW2=left/right)
• Safety Switch (SAFE-MOD): a safety may be set up on your landing gear SWITCH, preventing
accidental snap rolls while the landing gear is down. The safety switch is turned on and off with the
landing gear SWITCH.
• ON: the safety mechanism is activated when the landing gear SWITCH is in the same position as

3.3.10 V-Tail (ACRO/ GLID)
V-TAIL mixing is used with v-tail MULTIROTOR so that both elevator and rudder functions are
combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel can be adjusted independently

Note: NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON or AILEVATOR functions. If one of
these functions is active, an error message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last
function prior to activating ELEVON.
Note: Be sure to move the elevator and rudder sticks regularly while checking the servo motions.
If a large value of travel is specified, when the sticks are moved at the same time, the controls may
bind or run out of travel. Decrease the travel until no binding occurs.
Adjustability:
• Requires use of CH2 and CH4.
• Independently adjustable travels allow for differences in servo travels.
• Rudder differential is not available. (To create rudder differential, set RUD1 and 2 to 0, then use
two programmable mixes, RUD-ELE and RUD-RUD, setting different percents for up and down.
These are your new rudder travels. Trim and link off, switch assignment null so you can’t
accidentally turn off rudder.
3.3.11 ELEVON
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Requires use of CH1 and CH2.
• Independently adjustable aileron travel allows aileron differential.
• Independently adjustable elevator travel allows for differences in up vs. down travel.

3.3.12 Gyro Sense
The gyros have two operations modes: GY mode and STD mode.
•STD mode: This mode performs general proportional control operation. For instance, it controls the
gyro so that changes are countered when the attitude of the MULTIROTOR is changed by
cross-wind, etc.
•GY mode: This mode performs both proportional and integrated control operation. The difference
between Normal mode and GY mode operation is that where as the Normal mode only counters
changes in attitude, the GY mode returns to the original controlled variable simultaneously with
countering changes in attitude. For example, during knife edge flying, aileron and elevator meeting
rudder is normally necessary, but in the GY mode, meeting rudder is performed automatically by the
gyro.
Adjustability:
• Plug the gyro's sensitivity adjustment to channel 5, 7, or 8 of the receiver. (Selectable)
• Full switch assignable (SWITCH A-H)
• Each rate setting may be set from 0 to NOR100% or AVC100% gain. NOR: GY mode gain. AVC:
STD mode gain
• Larger percentages indicate more gain, or gyro responsiveness.
• MIX-1,2: Two surfaces' sensitivity can be adjusted independently.
GYRO GAIN ADJUSTABILITY:
• When the servo hunts, the gyro gain is too high. Lower the gain until the hunting stops.
• The gyro will display best performance at a gain just before hunting occurs. Perform adjusting by
flying the MULTIROTOR repeatedly.
Precaution:
• When taking off and landing, always switch to the Normal mode. Taking off and landing in the GY
mode is dangerous.
•We recommend that you use the rudder control gyro in the Normal mode. In the GY mode, rudder
operation is necessary when turning because the weather vane effect is lost. Use the gyro in the
Normal mode unless you are an expert in rudder operation.
• And we recommend that you also set to off (0%) mode for safety as follows.

3.3.13 THR-DELAY (ACRO)
The THR-DELAY function is used to slow the response of the throttle servo to simulate the slow
response of a turbine engine. A 40% delay setting corresponds to about a one-second delay, while
a 100% delay takes about eight seconds to respond. This function may also be used to create a
“slowed servo” on a channel other than throttle. This is accomplished by plugging the desired servo
(Ex: gear doors) into CH3 (THR), throttle into an auxiliary channel such as 8, and then using some
creative mixes.

3.3.15 THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing (ACRO/ HELI):
ACRO HELI
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
53
THROTTLE-NEEDLE is a pre-programmed mix that automatically moves an in-flight mixture servo
(CH8) in response to the THROTTLE STICK inputs for perfect engine turning at all throttle settings.
This function is particularly popular with contest pilots who fly in a large variety of locations, needing
regular engine tuning adjustments, and requiring perfect engine response at all times and in all
maneuvers. Also popular to minimize flooding at idle of inverted engine installations or installations
with a high tank position. Not needed for fuel injection engines, which do this automatically.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Five-point curve allows adjustment of engine mixture at varied throttle settings.
• The in-flight mixture servo must connect to receiver CH8.
• In-flight mixture servo may also be used as a second servo for tuning a twin.
• Throttle cut feature also moves the in flight needle servo.
• The CH8 knob adjusts the high throttle mixture (may be deactivated. see AUX-CH).
• Because both use CH8, this function cannot be used simultaneously with AILEVATOR.
• An acceleration (ACCE) function (ACRO only) helps the engine compensate for sudden, large
amounts of throttle input by making the mixture suddenly richer, then easing it back to the proper
adjustment for that throttle setting. This function requires some adjustment to best fit your engine
and your flying style. Adjust engine's response until no hesitation occurs on rapid throttle input.
• Separate curves are available (HELI only) for normal, idle-ups 1 and 2 combined, and idle-up 3.
Immediately below MIX the radio displays the curve you are editing; ex: >NORML; and then which
condition is currently active by your switches ex: (ID1/2). Note that you can edit the mix for a
different condition without being in that condition, to allow editing without having to shut off the
helicopter’s engine every time. Be sure you are editing the proper curve by checking the name after
the > and not the one in parentheses.

4.2 SET GLID TYPE
TYPE: (GLID 1A+1F), GLID (2A+1F), GLID (2A+2F)
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
56
Before doing anything else to set up a glider or sailplane, first you must decide which MODEL TYPE
best fits your MULTIROTOR.
• GLID(1A+1F): The GLID (1A+1F) MODEL TYPE is intended for sailplanes with one or two aileron
servos (or none), and a single flap servo (or two connected with a y-connector). This TYPE is meant
to be a very simplistic version to set up a basic glider without a lot of added features. Additional
flight condition is available.
• GLID (2A+1F): The GLID (2A+1F) MODEL TYPE is intended for sailplanes with dual aileron
servos and a single flap servo (or two connected with a y-connector). Additional flight conditions are
available. These flight conditions contain different offset trims and aileron differentials to make the
sailplane perform certain maneuvers more easily.
• GLID (2A+2F): The GLID (2A+2F) MODEL TYPE supports dual flap servos that can also act as
ailerons, creating full-span ailerons and flap. Additional flight conditions are available. These flight
conditions contain different offset trims and aileron differentials to make the sailplane perform
certain maneuvers more easily.
4.3 GLID ADVANCE MENU
MIXES:
• Linear Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX1-4): Fully assignable programmable mixed with a linear
response.
• Curved Programmable mixes (PROG.MIX5-8): Fully assignable programmable mixed with a
curved response.
• ELEV-FLAP pre-programmed mix creates elevator movement from the inboard flaps as well as
elevators.
• BUTTERFLY: Often called crow, BUTTERFLY is the glider version of AIRBRAKE. (BUTTERFLY
does not have the option to activate it solely from a switch, and its activation switch. It always
provides progressively more BUTTERFLY as the CHANNEL 3 (THROTTLE) STICK is lowered, or
raised if used THR-REV) See AIRBRAKE.
• CAMBER-MIXAILE-FLAP: This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span flap/aileron
action on a glider with 4 wing servos. This changes the camber over the entire wing, which
produces less drag than just dropping the flaps by themselves.
Note: When you have ELEV-FLAP mixing also, the trailing edge droops with the elevators,
increasing pitch response.
• FLAPERON (GLID 1A+1F only): 2 aileron servos operate in opposite directions as ailerons and
same direction as flaps.
• CAMBER FLAP: Provides camber movement or trimming of flaps. For sailplanes, this function is
also used as wing camber. The amount depends on the model but usually a small amount (less
then 10%) is preferred, since too much camber produces excess drag. Don't use more than about
1/16" travel up or down for glider camber. Some airfoils, such as the RG15, should be flown with NO
reflex/camber. Be sure to consult your model's manual for guidelines.
Note: even though you may make CAMBER FLAP active while using AILE-DIFF, it will not have
any effect. The ONLY function that allows control of the ailerons as flaps in the AILE-DIFF
configuration is airbrake/ butterfly
• ELEVON: for flying wings
• V-TAIL: For models with 2 servos operate together to create roll and pitch control.
• AILEVATOR: Not available in GLID model types.

4.3.3 V-TAIL (FIND IN ACRO FUNCTION MENU 3.3.10)
4.3.4 OFFSET (GLID 2A+2F):
Additional flight conditions are available specifically for sailplanes.
These additional flight conditions contain different offset trims to make the sailplane perform certain
maneuvers more easily. Aileron differential functions may be set to provide separate rates per
condition selected.
Prior to setting up OFFSET, you must active the conditions and assign the switches in the
CONDITION/FUNCTION.
Unnecessary fuselage motion is generated when there are sudden changes in the servo position
and variations in the operating time between channels can be suppressed by using the delay
function.
Note: The same delay amount for elevator and rudder is recommended when using V-tail
function.
The AT10II provides 5 additional setups along with the normal flight condition. (NORMAL,
START, SPEED, DISTANCE and LANDING) These offset trims have same setting abilities
basically except the switch and dial assignment. For an example of trim settings, please see the
following:
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Separate adjustments for each aileron, elevator, rudder and flap servo, for each condition.
• SWITCH G (AT10) or E (AT10) is programmed for NORMAL, START, and SPEED trims. SWITCH
C is programmed for DISTANCE and LANDING trims. These switch/position assignment is
adjustable. (CONDITION/FUNCTION)
• TRIM item (Digital trim operation mode):
NORM: normal trim operation mode.
MIX: offset rate trim operation mode while mixing is on.
• Optional assignable knob (CAMBER MIX) to allow trimming in flight of the aileron and flap action
of each flight condition.
• During OFFSET operation, the aileron and elevator travels are displayed on each trim display in

4.3.8 BUTTERFLY (crow) mixing
BUTTERFLY simultaneously moves the flaps, twin ailerons and elevator, and is usually used to make
steep descents or to limit increases in airspeed in dives. Separate two BUTTERFLY settings are
available. (CRI1/CRI2)
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Activation: Get proportional by moving the THROTTLE STICK.
• Switch: Mix SWITCH is selectable. A to H: SWITCH A to H. Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be
assigned. NULL: always on.
• Inversely proportional to THROTTLE STICK: provides a proportional increase in amount of airbrake
action as THROTTLE STICK is lowered (when SWITCH A (assignable) is in down position). Includes
selectable stick position where airbrake begins. If you would like to have the airbrake be directly
proportional to throttle stick, you will need to reverse the THR-REV function.
Note:
this changes the throttle stick direction for all models.
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Elevator settings: (Adjustable in the B.FLY-ELE)
B.FLY-ELE works linking with BUTTERFLY function. Elevator rate is adjustable in a 3 point curve.
Point 1: PRESET point. (Fixed)
Point 2: MID point. Position and rate are adjustable.
Point 3: END point. Position and rate are adjustable.
• Delayed reaction: You can suppress sudden changes in your model's attitude when BUTTERFLY is
activated by setting the delay (DELAY) item, to slow down the elevator response, allowing the
flaps/ailerons/elevator to all reach their desired end point together. A setting of 100% slows the servo to
take approximately one second to travel the prescribed distance.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
61
• Channels controlled: Twin ailerons, flap and spoiler may be set independently in BUTTERFLY,
including set to 0 to have no effect.
• Twin aileron servos: If AIL-DIFF function is inhibited, then AIL1 and AIL2 settings will have no
effect. If AIL-DIFF is active, then CH1 and CH7 may be independently adjusted.
• Normally both ailerons are raised equally in BUTTERFLY, and the elevator motion is set to
maintain trim when the ailerons rise. Different amounts may be set for each aileron to correct for
torque reactions and other unique characteristics of the model.
Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in BUTTERFLY. Along with creating an
enormous amount of drag (desirable for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle
of attack where the ailerons are, and encourages tip stalling. If you are using this for aerobatic
performance and not "sudden stops", consider raising the ailerons and dropping the flaps in stead
as shown in the diagram above.

4.3.9 AILE/ RUDD MIX
You can select a pre-programmed mix which is used to mix the rudders with aileron operation or the
ailerons with rudder operation.
Aileron-to-rudder mix (AILERUDD): automatically creates a "coordinated turn".
Rudder -to-aileron mix (RUDDAILE): used to counteract undesirable roll (roll coupling) that
happens with rudder input, especially in knife-edge.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• RATE range of -100 to +100. Negative setting would result in opposite rudder (aileron) action from
aileron (rudder).
• SWITCH A-H fully assignable. Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned.
• POSITION fully assignable, including NULL (mix always on) and Up&Cntr and Cntr&Dn to activate
the mix in 2 separate positions of the same SWITCH.
• Condition: The separate AILERUDD setting for each flight condition can be set.

value of about 50% is often used. For slope racing or F3B models in speed runs, you may wish to
use a larger value approaching 100%.

Part. 5 HELICOPTER MODEL FUNCTIONS
Please note that nearly all of the BASIC menu functions are the same for airplane (ACRO setup),
sailplane (GLID setups), and helicopter (HELI) setups. The features that are identical refer back to
the ACRO chapter.
5.1 BASIC SETTING WITH HELICOPTER
This guideline is intended to help you set up a basic (H-1) helicopter, to get acquainted with the
radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction on
how to do even more with this powerful system than you may have already considered.
Briefly, the typical helicopter's controls are as follows:
• Aileron: Changes cyclic lateral (roll). Roll the helicopter. Tilt the swash plate to the left or right CH1.
• Elevator: Changes cyclic pitch. Change the helicopter’s angle of attack (nose up or nose down).
Tilt the entire Swash plate fore and aft. CH2.
• Rudder: Change the angle of the tail rotor and yaw the helicopter left or right. CH4.
• Collective Pitch: Adjusts main rotor collective [angle of the paddles], changing the main blades’
pitch. Increased collective pitch (with throttle) causes the helicopter to rise. Moves in conjunction
with throttle on the THROTTLE STICK. CH6.
• Throttle: Open/close carburetor. Move in conjunction with collective pitch on the THROTTLE
STICK. CH3.
• REVO: mix that adds rudder in conjunction with pitch. This helps compensate for rotation of the
helicopter caused by the increased engine torque. (Never use REVO. mixing with a
heading0hold/AVCS gyro; the gyro already does this.)

start.(Never assume being plugged in all night means your radio gear is ready to fly).Insufficient charge,
binding servo linkages ,and other problems can result in a dangerous crash with the possibility of injury to
yourself, others and property.

:
Important note: prior to setting up throttle hold, idle-ups, offsets, etc, be sure to get your normal condition
operating properly.
Checking setup prior to going airborne: Check voltage! Then, with the assistance of an instructor, and having
completed all range checks, etc, gradually apply throttle until the helicopter becomes “light on the skids.”
Adjust trims as needed to correct for any roll, pitch, or yaw tendencies. If the tail “wags,” the gyro gain is too
high. Decrease gyro gain.
1. Periodically move the throttle stick to full and back down to ensure proper servo settings.
2. It is critical that dials A and C be centered when the pitch and throttle curves are setup.

5.2 HELI-SPECIFIC BASIC MENU FUNCTIONS
MODEL TYPE: This function of the PARAMETER submenu is used to select the type of model
programming to be used. Before doing anything else to set up your model, first you must decide
which MODEL TYPE best fits your MULTIROTOR.
HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The AT10II radios support 8 basic swash plate setups, including "single servo" (H-1-most
helicopters use this type) and 7 types of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo"
swash plate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator (cyclic pitch), and collective pitch.
CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the 3 axes of motion.
There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious
of which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swash plate of the helicopter.
Additionally, several servos working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator
movement) dramatically increases the torque available as well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3, except off by 180 degrees. If your model 's
swash plate is off by 180 you will still use that swash plate type, but also use SWASH AFR to adjust
the functions as needed until it operates properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also
be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.

Radio emits a repeating “beep” and shows progress on screen as the model type is being changed.
Note that if the power switch is turned off prior to completion, the model type will not be changed.
5.2.2 SWASH AFR (not in SWH1)
Except SWASH PLATE, function menu of helicopter is same as GLID/ ACRO. Please find the
former instructions.
Swash plate function rate settings (SWASH AFR) reduce/increase/reverse the rate (travel) of the
aileron, elevator (except H-2) and collective pitch functions, adjusting or reversing the motion of all
servos involved in that function, only when using that function. Since these types utilize multiple
servos together to create the controls, simply adjusting a servo's REVERSE or END POINT would
not properly correct the travel of any one control. Since H-1 uses one servo for each function, there
is no need for AFR in H-1.
Since aileron always uses no more than 2 servos, check it first. Either both operate properly (no
change needed), both operate backwards (reverse the whole function), or one servo operates
backwards (reverse that servo alone). Next check elevator. Remember, the aileron servo(s) operate
correctly, so if elevator does not, we should only have 2 choices left—the whole function needs to
be reversed, or the servo(s) not shared with aileron need to be reversed. If aileron and elevator are
not working properly, the only thing that could be wrong is the whole direction collective operates
(reverse the whole function). In our example, HR3 is 180 degrees off from the swash plate of the
Caliber. Therefore, it is very likely that several functions will not operate properly. The collective
pitch operation is backwards; but reversing all three servos would also reverse the aileron and
elevator operations. Changing the collective pitch rate, however, from +50% to -50%, will reverse
the collective pitch without affecting the aileron action.

5.3 HELI-SPECIFIC ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS
5.3.1 THR-CURVE and PIT-CURVE:
These 7-point curves are utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for
consistent load on the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, idle-up 2, and
idle-up 3. In addition, a separate collective pitch curve is available for throttle hold. Sample curves
are displayed in the appropriate setup types (ex: normal flight condition) for clarity.
Suggested defaults:
• Normal: Collective pitch curve that results in points 1, 4 and 7 providing .4, +5, (+8 to +10)*
degrees pitch. A throttle curve setting of 0, 25, 36, 50, 62.5, 75, 100%.
• Idle-ups 1 & 2: Idle-ups 1 and 2 are typically the same except for the gyro settings, with one being
heading-hold/AVCS and the other being normal mode. The pitch curve will likely be similar to the
normal curve above.
• Idle-up 3: Collective pitch curves that result in points 1, 4 and 7 providing (.8 to .10), 0, (+8 to +10)
degrees. A throttle curve of 100, 75, 62.5, 50, 62.5, 75, 100 provide full throttle for inverted
maneuvers.
• Throttle Hold pitch curve: Start with the normal pitch curve (for inverted autos, start from the
idle-up 3 pitch curve), but increase the last point approximately 1-2°, if available, to ensure sufficient
pitch at landing.
This default recommendation assumes you are doing forward flight. If you are just learning, please
follow your instructor's guidance. Some instructors like a +1 base point for training so that the
helicopter comes down very slowly, even if your instincts pull the throttle/collective stick to the
bottom in a hurry.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Normal condition curves are editable in the BASIC menu for convenience.
• All curves may be adjusted in the ADVANCE menu.
• Automatically selected with the proper condition.
• The idle-up curves are programmed to maintain constant RPM even when the collective pitch is
reduced during flight (including inverted).
• To change which condition’s curve is being edited, cursor up to <COND> and change the curve
named.
• For clarity, the name of the condition currently active (switched on in the radio) is shown in
parentheses behind name of condition whose curve is being edited. (Example: see curve displays
below. Note that the normal condition is active but the idle-up 1 condition’s curves are currently
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
70
being edited.
• Moving and deleting the curve point: The curve point (-stk-) can be moved to the left or right by
turning the DIAL (up to 2% in front of the adjoining point) and deleted/returned by pressing the DIAL
for one second alternately.
• Idle-ups and throttle hold pitch curves may be edited even before the conditions have been made
active. Activating their throttle curves activates these conditions.
5.3.2 REVO MIX:
This 5-point curve mix adds opposite rudder input to counteract the changes in torque when the
speed and collective pitch of the blades is changed.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Three separate curves available: normal for hovering; idle-ups 1 and 2 combined; and idle-3.
• Normal condition curves are editable in the BASIC menu for convenience.
• All curves may be adjusted in the ADVANCE menu.
• Correct mix is automatically selected in-flight with each condition and automatically activated
when the throttle setup for that condition is activated in the programming (i.e. THROTTLE HOLD or
THR-CURVE.)
• To change which condition’s curve is being edited, cursor up above POINT5 and select. For clarity,
the name of the condition currently active (switched on at the radio) is shown in parentheses behind
the name of the condition whose curve is being edited.
Revo. Mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the
clockwise direction when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite.
Change the operating direction setting by changing the signs of the numbers in the curve from plus
(+) to minus (-) and vice versa.
Suggested defaults:
Clockwise rotation: -20, -10, 0, +10, +20% from low throttle to high.
Counterclockwise rotation: +20, +10, 0, -10, -20% from low throttle to high.
Adjust to the actual values that work best for your model.
Revo. Curves for idle-ups are often v-shaped to provide proper rudder input with negative pitch and
increased throttle during inverted flight.(Rudder is needed to counter the reaction whenever there is
increased torque. In inverted flight, throttle stick below half has increased throttle and negative pitch,
therefore increasing torque and rotating the helicopter unless the revo. Mix is also increasing
appropriately.)
Note: The throttle and pitch curves for the normal condition is always on. They cannot be
inhibited. The other four conditions are activated with their throttle curves or throttle hold.
• THR-CURV/NOR: Inputs the normal (NORM) throttle curve, which is usually not a linear response
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
71
to THROTTLE STICK motion. Adjusting point 4 of the curve adjusts the engine's RPM at the
THROTTLE STICK midpoint, the desired position for hovering. The other 6 points are then adjusted
to create the desired idle and maximum engine speed, and a smooth transition in-between.
• PIT-CURV/NOR: inputs the normal (NORM) collective pitch curve, the collective pitch curve for
flight near hover. The normal collective pitch curve is adjusted to match the throttle curve, providing
the best vertical performance at a constant engine speed, with a starting curve of 4 base, +5 neutral,
and +8 to +10 degrees of blade pitch maximum. You can program the response over a 7-point
curve for the best collective pitch angle relative to THROTTLE STICK movement.
• REVO./NORM: mixes collective pitch commands to the rudder (a PITCH-RUDDER mix) to
suppress the torque generated by changes in the main rotor's collective pitch angle, keeping the
model from yawing when throttle is applied.
Note: There are three revo, mixes available: normal (NORM), idle-up 1/2 (IDL1/2), and idle-up 3
(IDL3). All 3 are adjustable in the ADVANCE menu. Never use revo mixing in conjunction with
heading-hold/AVCS gyros. For details on revo, including default points for clockwise and
counterclockwise rotating rotors.

About GYRO SENSE, please refer to 3.3.12, by following steps:
5.3.4 THROTTLE HOLD
This function holds the engine in the idling position and disengages it from the THROTTLE STICK
when SWITCH AT10II is moved. It is commonly used to practice auto-rotation. Prior to setting up
THR-HOLD, hook up the throttle linkage so that the carburetor is opened fully at high throttle, then
use the digital trim to adjust the engine idle position. To have THR- HOLD maintain idle, move the
THROTTLE STICK to the idle position, then move the hold SWITCH on and off and keep changing
the offset value until the servo does not move. To lower the engine idle speed, or if you want to shut
off, input a more negative number.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Idling position: Range of -50% to +50% centered about the throttle idle position to get the desired
engine RPM.

• Throttle curve: Since the throttle is moved to a single preset position, no curve is available for
THR-HOLD.
• Collective pitch curve: Independent curve, typically adjusted to create a blade pitch range of -4%
to +10% to +12%, is automatically activated with THRHOLD.
• Revo. mix: Since revo. mix adjusts for torque from the engine, no revo. mix is available for
THR-HOLD.
• Priority: The throttle hold function has priority over idle-up. Be sure that the throttle hold and
idle-up SWITCHES are in the desired positions before trying to start the engine. (We recommend
starting your engine in throttle hold for safety reasons.)
• Gyro: Gyro programming includes an option to have a separate gyro setting for each condition,
including THR-HOLD. This avoids the potential problem of the user being in the wrong gyro setting
when going to THR-HOLD, resulting in an improper rudder offset and the model pirouetting.

5.3.5 HOVERING ADJUSTMENTS (HOV-THR and HOV-PIT):
Hovering throttle and hovering pitch are fine-turning adjustments for the throttle and collective pitch
curves individually, affecting performance only around the center point and only in the normal
condition. They allow in-flight tweaking of the curves for ideal setup.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Rotor speed changes caused by temp., humidity, altitude or other changes in flying conditions are
easily accommodated.
• Both adjustments may be inhibited if not desired.
• Both adjustments may also be set to NULL, temporarily turning off the knob but maintaining the
last memorized setting.
• Adjustments may be memorized and then the knobs returned to center point to use that amount of
adjustment, allows easy use of the trimming knobs for multiple models. (Note that when
memorization is repeated with the knob offset from center, the trim value accumulates.)
• Adjustments are quickly reset to the initial value by turning the dial until the trim reads 0%,
memorizing, then returning the knob to its center position.
• Note that all functions, including these, assume the model hovers at half stick.
•Available in normal (NORM) or normal/ idle-up1 (NORM/IDL1) condition only.

5.3.6 HIGH/LOW PITCH (HI/LO-PIT):
This function may be used to adjust the curves high and low side individually for each flight
condition (normal, idle-up 1, idle-up 2, idle-up 3, throttle hold).
ADJUSTABILITY:
• You may define high and low side rate trim knobs (the high side pitch trim control is defined as the
right side lever at initial setting).
• The conditions are activated in the CONDITION SELECT function.
• Both adjustments may be set to MANUAL, temporarily turning off the knob.
• Adjustments may be memorized and then return the knobs to center point to use that amount of

5.3.7 OFFSET
Optional separate trims in addition to those for the normal condition. This function is used to
automatically change the trim of a helicopter, for example, when transitioned from hover to flying at
high speed. A clockwise-rotation rotor helicopter tends to drift to the right at high speed, so an
aileron offset may be applied to offset the helicopter to the left.
The necessary elevator offset varies with model geometry, so it must be determined by noting
collective pitch changes at high speed. The rudder offset is affected by both revo. mixing and trim
lever movement while in the offset function.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Complete switch assign ability, plus a CONDITION option that creates/ switches between
individual trims for each of the idle-ups.
• When OFFSET is active (its switch is on), moving the TRIM LEVERS adjust the stored offset, not
the trims in the normal condition.
•When OFFSET is inactive (its switch is off), the OFFSET and any trim adjustments to it have no
effect (model obeys the trim settings of the currently-active flight condition.)
• When OFFSET is inhibited, trim adjustments made in any flight condition affect all flight
conditions.
• Rapid jumps caused by large offsets can be slowed using the DELAY function.
• During OFFSET operation, the aileron, elevator, and rudder travels are displayed on each trim
display in the Startup screen.
Note: Remember, offsets and revo mixes are not recommended when using heading-hold/AVCS
gyros because they conflict with the automatic corrections to trim and torque that AVCS provides.

5.3.8 DELAY:
The Delay function provides a smooth transition between the trim positions whenever OFFSET,
REVO, MIXING, or THROTTLE HOLD functions are turned on and off.
ADJUSTABILITY:
• Separate delay times are available for aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, and pitch.
• With a 50% delay setting, the servo takes about a half-second to move to its new position, quite a
long time.
• In general, delays of approximately 10-15% are sufficient.

5.3.9 GOVERNORS:
The Governor mixing function is used to adjust the Governor speed settings (rS1, rS2, rS3) from
the transmitter.
What is a governor? A governor is made up of a set of sensors which read the RPM of the
helicopter’s head, and a control unit that automatically adjusts the throttle setting to maintain a
constant head speed regardless of changes in pitch of blades, weather conditions, etc. Governors
are extremely popular in competition helicopters due to the consistency provided.
How does it help in helicopter setup? The governor eliminates the need to spend large amounts of
time setting up throttle curves, as it automatically adjusts the engine’s RPM to maintain the desired
head speed.
Radiolink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
77
ADJUSTABILITY:
• On/off may be separate from speed switching by plugging governor on/off into CH8 and changing
CUT-CH setting.
• If using separate on/off, switch assignment is totally adjustable. Be careful not assign governor off
to a condition switch if you want the governor to function in that condition.
• Speed switching and governor ON/OFF may be together using one switch or ON/OFF switching
may be performed using an independent switch/channel.
• When speed setting control uses CH7 and separate ON/OFF switch is not used, CH8 can be used
for other functions.
• In-flight adjustment of the head speed (for easy adjustment during turning) may be created using
an additional channel and a programmable mix.
The GV-1 controls throttle when it is active, so the throttle will not obey any Failsafe settings preset
for throttle in the transmitter. Always set the Failsafe setting for the GV-1's on/off channel to OFF.
This way the governor is shut off and the throttle obeys the Failsafe throttle commands.

5.3.12 THROTTLE NEEDLE (see ACRO MENU 3.3.15)
5.3.13 PROG MIX (see ACRO MENU 3.3.1)
5.3.14 CONDITION
Revo., curves for idle-ups are often v-shaped to provide proper rudder input with negative pitch
and increased throttle during inverted flight. (Rudder is needed to counter the reaction whenever
there is increased torque. In inverted flight, throttle stick below half has increased throttle and
negative pitch, therefore increasing torque and rotating the helicopter unless the revo. mix is also
increasing appropriately.)
Additional flight conditions are available specifically for helicopters. These additional flight
conditions contain different throttle curves, collective pitch curves, revo. mixing, and trims (except
IDLE-3) to make the helicopter perform certain maneuvers more easily. Lastly, the gyro and dual
rate functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition selected, including one for each
idle-up.
Additional idle-ups may be used to maximize the helicopter's flight characteristics in certain
types of flight (i.e. fast forward motion, backward) or maneuvers (loops, rolls, stall turns), or even
the same maneuver but changing from heading-hold/AVCS gyro mode to normal gyro mode. The
AT10II provides 3 idle-ups to allow the modeler 3 additional setups along with the normal flight
condition. (Note that IDL3 does not include governor settings.)

ADJUSTABILITY:
• SWITCH G (AT10II) or E (AT10II) is programmed for normal (NORM), idle-up 1 (IDLE-UP1), and
idle-up 2 (IDLE-UP2) curves, adjustable in CONDITION SELECT (IDLE-UP1/2, IDLE-UP3 items).
(IDLE-UP1/2 3-position type switch only, IDL3 2-position type switch only)
• Activated with the throttle curve for that condition in THR-CURVE.
• Curves are adjusted to maintain constant RPM even when the collective pitch is negative
(inverted). Note that REVO mixing has one curve for idle-ups 1 and 2 and a second curve just for
idle-up3.
•Gyro settings may be set separately for each idle-up.
• Governor settings may be set up to follow Normal/Idle1/Idle2, but do not offer a setting to adjust
for each of the 5 conditions like gyro.
• Activating OFFSET makes the TRIM LEVERS adjust the trim separately in each of the idle-up
conditions.
