Note:About flying While you are getting ready to fly,if you place your transmitter on the ground ,be sure that the wind won’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur. Other than 2.4GHz system: Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control.

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-TRIMs are large values, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.

(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 directio 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. 【THR CUT】 MIX：INH RATE： 0% THR:5%(100%) SW：SwH POST：DOWN Goals Steps Decrease the throttle setting(at idle) to stop the engine with the flip of a switch.
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.

Adjustability: • Count down timer: starts from the chosen time, displays time remaining. If the time is exceeded, it continues to count below 0. • Count up timer: starts at 0 and displays the elapsed time up to 99 minutes 59 seconds. • Count down timer (Stop type): starts from the chosen time, displays time remaining, and stops at 0. • Model timer: cumulates ON time up to 99 hours 59 minutes each model. Once Model timer function is turned off, the cumulate time will also be reset to "0:00".
• 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.
Adjustability: • Three logic switches can be used. (LSW1, LSW2, and LSW3 ) • SW(1): Any SWICH A-H or THRSTKS, SW(2): Any SWICH A-H • Switch position (POSI) • Logic mode: AND or OR (MODE) 2.3.15 SERVO display and cycle submenu: Displays radio's output to channels 1-10. The servo submenu includes two features: • real-time bar-graph display to demonstrate exactly what commands the transmitter is sending to the servos.
Find telemetry information: under BASIC MENU, select RECEIVE, press PUSH to enter, you can find the telemetry info, shown as below. RX is receiver voltage, EXT is external voltage. Also temperature and engine speed (EXT, TEMPERATURE, RPM, and GPS all need telemetry sensor). RSSI is signal strength, NULL is for no signal, and 0 is for max. Connection of telemetry sensor: sensor of EXT, TEMPERATURE, RPM, GPS can connect one by one with the receiver port DATA.
Part 3. ACRO ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS 3.1 AIRPLANE WING TYPES (ACRO/GLID): There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft models: • Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail. This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming. • Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. See TWIN AILERON SERVOS. • Tail-less model (flying wing).
channel CH6&5 Allow twin aileron servo operatin with a 5-channel receiver. Select AILE-2 and change to CH6&5. to AILE-2. to CH6&5 Close There are 4 basic tail types in aircraft 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 model. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. see ELEVON(ACRO/ GLID 1A+1F). • V-TAIL.
• 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 AT9 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.
MASTER SLAVE VR(D) LINK TRIM OFF N/A THRO SWITCH POSITION RATE OFFSET NULL ANY 5% 0 •Slave: the controlled channel. The channel is moved automatically in response to the movement of the master channel. The second channel is in a mix’s name (i.e. aileron-to-rudder). •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.
Optional:set Master as OFST or VR(A-E) Set LINK and TRIM as needed. Assign SWITCH and position. (Ex:change from E to C，Down) Optional:set switch to STK-THR to activate mix with THROTTLE STICK.

• 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.
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.
ACRO GLID FLAP-TRIM assigns the primary flaperon control [defaults to VR(A)] to allow trimming in flight of the flap action of flaperons. 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.
Activate twin aileron servosusing AILE-DIFF. Note that the function defaults to no difference in down travel vs. up travel. If you want differential travel, simply adjust each side. (Ex:90%) to BASIC menu, Open the FLAPERON. again to ADVANCE to AILE-DIFF .PUSH. Activate the function. to MIX，PUSH. Optional:adjust the up/down travel for 2 servos..(Ex:90% down) to ACT to AILE1 AILERON STICK.
CH1 and CH6. The flap choice has no effect on the flaperons. • 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.
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.
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 (ie. 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. Goals Activate twin elevator servos.
• ON: the safety mechanism is activated when the landing gear SWITCH is in the same position as at the time this feature is changed to ON. Snap rolls will not be commanded even if the snap roll SWITCH is turned on with the gear SWITCH in this position. When the landing gear SWITCH is moved to the opposite position, snap rolls may be commanded. • OFF: activates the safety mechanism in the opposite position from the ON function. • FREE: the safety mechanism is completely turned off.
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.
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 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.
Optional: delete the curve point.And return the curve point.(Ex:point 3) Adjust the next point. to P3 (-stk-). for 1sec.to delete the curve point. to P3 (-stk-)， for 1sec.to return Repeat as needed. Close 3.3.15 THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixingg (ACRO/ HELI): ACRO HELI 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.

PART 4 GLIDER MODEL FUNCTIONS Please note that nearly all of the BASIC menu functions are the same for airplane (ACRO setup), sailplane (GLID 1A+1F/ 2A+1F/ 2A+2F setups), and helicopter (HELI setups). The features that are identical refer back to the ACRO chapter. The glider BASIC menu includes MOTOR CUT and does not include IDLE-DOWN or THR-CUT.

(Ex: flap servo). Close the function. Choose D/R,EXP to END POINT.
Before doing anything else to set up a glider or sailplane, first you must decide which MODEL TYPE best fits your aircraft. • 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.
4.3.1 AILE DIFF (FIND IN ACRO FUNCTION MENU 3.3.5) 4.3.2 FLAPERON (GLID 1A+1F, FIND IN ACRO FUNCTION MENU 3.3.3) 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.
Close 4.3.5 START DELAY (GLID 1A+1F only): START DELAY automatically switch the offset trims (OFFSET) from the START condition's trims to the normal condition’s trims after proceeding the delay time (max.10sec.) which is set by the -dly- item when activating the START condition. (It is convenient for hand launch glider.) Note: The same delay amount for elevator and rudder is recommended when using V-tail function. ADJUSTABILITY: • Delay time (-dly-) range of 0 to 100%. The delay time is 10 second at 100%.
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. Goals Steps Inputs to BASIC . Open the CAMBER FLAP function. Ex: Set the maximum travel of 35% of the total flap travel. again to ADVANCE to CAMBER-FLP, to FLP Adjust the up/down trim amount separately.(Ex: adjust to 35%) Or: adjust the center position of flap servo 。 VR (A)， to 35%， VR (A)， Repeat.

Close 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.
Activate BUTTERFLY. Adjust the aileron and flap travel to 75% to BASIC . to BUTTERFLY, Activate the function SWA to UP position to MIX Elevator setting are adjustable in the B.FLY-ELE.

This pre-programmed mix is used to create full span aileron action on a glider with 4wing servos. This increases the roll rate and decreases induced drag. For normal flying, a 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%. ADJUSTABILITY: • RATE range of -100 to +100. Negative setting would result in opposite aileron action from flaps. • SWITCH A-H fully assignable. Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned.

If it is not the correct model (Ex:3) see MODEL SEL. for 1s to BASIC.
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.
• 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 curve that results in points 1, 4 and 7 providing (.8 to .10), 0, (+8 to +10) degrees.
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.

(Ex:rudder to +8%.) to RUDD Close menus and confirm slowed transitions. ， to +8%， E (AT9) from NORMALto IDL2.Check the changes of rudder trim. 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.
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.
governor settings automatically when changing conditions. Consider setting the battery Fail Safe settings and other helpful functions on the governor itself. Activate the function. to MIX Option al : chang e cut- of f channe lto channel 8 and assign switch and direction for on/off (channel 8). Optional: Changes switch assignment to select governor settings. Ex : se l e c t sw i t c h th a t se l e ct s th econditions. Adjust governor speed settings perswitch position or condition as needed.
• Initial: 100% • adjusting range: 0-200% Goals Steps Inputs Open SWASH-RING To prevent damaging the swash linkage by simultaneous operation of function. the ailerons and elevators, set the limit point where swash throw stops. Activate the function. ＊Adjust the rate at the maximum swash tilt by simultaneous operation of the ailerons and elevators. Adjust the rate Ex: 90% to BASIC menu, ADVANCE again to to SWASH-RING to MIX to RATE ， ， to ACT to 90%， Close 5.3.12 THROTTLE NEEDLE (see ACRO MENU 3.
• SWITCH G (AT9) or E (AT9) 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).
Part 6. AIRCRAFT FUNCTIONS AIRCRAFT menu is the most differ between AT9 and AT10. The menu makes it easier to fly multi copters. The basic function menu is same like ACRO, GLID and HELI, please find the detail in the former chapters. Now let’s start the basic setting, take a quad copter for example: Goals Prepare your aircraft. Steps Inputs Install all servos switched, receivers, etc.per your model’s instructions.
Adjust AUX-CH and Knob. set the first (Ex:low) rate throws and exponential. to D/R SwA to down，repeat to set low rate. Optional: change dual rate switch assignment. to SW ， SwG， SwG to center position. rd Repeat steps above to set 3 rate. On BASIC menu, then open AUX-CH function. to AUX-CH, Choose CH5 to set ATTITUDE to CH5, to ATTITUDE Assign the switch to control attitude.Ex: SW3 is SWC，SW2 is SWB to SW3, ， to SWC， to SW2, ， to SWB， to ATTI ， to 50% Set the rate in each attitude.
6.1.2 AUX Channel setting AUX channel for aircraft is channel 6 to 10, same like ACRO, GLID and HELI, to set auxiliary channel. CH5 is special for ATTITUDE, enter CH5 and press PUSH for ATTITUDE. Select 3-section and 2-section switch to get 6 different attitudes. By DIAL set 6 different rates according to the attitudes. 6.2 ADVANCE MENU FOR AIRCRAFT 6.2.1 ATTITUDE There are 6 different attitude modes for aircraft: NORMAL, ATTI, GPS, HOVER, F/S and AUX.
