GLOSSARY

3D: Common name for certain types of aerobatic maneuvers. Aircraft: flying below the model's stall speed, such as
torque rolls. Helicopters: combining 2 or more maneuvers, such as rolling loop.
4.8V: 4.8 volt battery pack, made of 4 Ni-Cd 1.2V cells. See Accessories.
5-cell: 6.0 volt battery pack, made of 4 alkaline cells or 5 Ni-Cd cells. See Accessories.
6V (6Volt): battery pack, made of 4 alkaline cells or 5 Ni-Cd cells. See Accessories.

ACT. Active: Make a feature able to be utilized. Opposite of INH. Only visible in certain features.
Adjustable Function Rate: see SWASH AFR.
ADVANCE menus: Specific menus for each model type which allow the modeler to access and program the radio's more
advanced features.
AFR: Adjustable function rate. Used only in HELI model types with CCPM heads. See SWASH AFR.
AIL-2: Second aileron servo assignment. See Twin aileron servos.
Aileron: Surface that controls the roll of the model. Also called cyclic roll on a helicopter.
Aileron-to-flap mixing: Mixing used to create full-span aileron action. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable
mix.
Aileron-to-rudder mix: Mixing that automatically creates a "coordinated turn". Not a preprogrammed mix. See
Programmable mix.
Aileron Differential: Decreased down aileron travel when compared to up aileron travel. Minimizes "dragging" the low
wing and creates more axial rolls. See Twin aileron servos. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .42

act as ailerons in conjunction with the primary ailerons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45
