CA glues will attack foam.
‡ CCPM
Cyclic-Collective-Pitch-Mixing. Type of swashplate mixing which requires a radio with CCPM mixing
functions. This uses three servos to control the cyclic, while all three work together to raise and lower the
swashplate for collective control. Please refer to the swashplate FAQ for further information.
‡ CG (Center of Gravity)
For modeling purposes, this is usually considered—the point at which the airplane balances fore to aft. This
point is critical in regards to how the airplane reacts in the air. A tail-heavy plane will be very snappy but
generally very unstable and susceptible to more frequent stalls. If the airplane is nose heavy, it will tend
to track better and be less sensitive to control inputs, but, will generally drop its nose when the throttle is

‡ CAMPac
Optional extended data storage module for certain Futaba transmitters.
‡ Carburetor
The part of the engine which controls the speed or throttle setting and lean/rich mixture via setting of the
needle valve.
‡ Chandelle
A very steep climbing turn where the airplane makes a 180o change of direction.
‡ Channel
The number of functions your radio can control. Ex: an 8 channel radio has 8 available servo slots used for
separate control surfaces or switches. These channels can also be mixed on many radios, for such functions
as collective, which increases pitch when throttle is increased.
‡ Channel delay (Servo Slow/speed)
A feature within ATV which slows servo operation any time the radio is in the particular condition which
has the delay set.
