S8R
Automatic level mode: S6RIS8R uaes the Internal
thn~•axls
accelerometer and the
111n~.axls
gyroscope on tile AIL and ELE channels,
to return tile model to level orientation when the sticks are raleased to neutral. The RUD channel will operate In ateblllzatlon mode only.
Hover mode: When active the S6RIS8R uses the internallh.--xis accelerometer and the lh.--xis gyroscope on the ELE and RUD
channels, to point the
nose
straight up. While in this mode the user can conlrol the rotation of the modal with AIL, THR is used to adjust
the allltude. ELE and RUD Inputs (by uaerj an1
not
required In tills mode as tile S8RIS8R will hold tile noaa pointing up. The AIL
channel will opera!& In ateblllzatlon mode only.
Knlf&.edge mode: When aotive the S6RIS8R uses the internal
thn~•axis
acceleromater and the three-axis gyroscope on the AIL and
RUD channels, to roll the plana on its side (Wing points up). While this mode &leering is done with ELE, and altitude cen be maintained
with THR ancllor RUD. AIL Inputs (by user) an1 not required In this mode as tile S8RIS8R will hold the wing pointing up. The ELE
channel will opera!& in atebilizalion mode only.
Delta wing (ftytng wing)
ELE
When using tile Delta wing (flying wing) type option, tile signal produced by the lranamltter should be without active mixes on tile AIL
and ELE channels. The S8RJS8R will mix the AIL (CH 1) and ELE (CH2) input signal with a fixed mix percentage automatically. The
RUD(CH4), AIL2 (CH5), ELE2 (CH6), 0 7(CH7), 8(CH8) signals can behave as required by the user. The S6RIS8R supports &lebiliza-
llon, auto level and oil modee when using Delta wing (llylng wing). CH9 can be used to adjust gyro gain
by
assigning a knob or allder,
this will change tile aenaiiMiy of the counteracting signal produced by the Internal three-axis gyroacope.
•only S8R have 7(CH7), 8 (CH8).
Three dllrarant ftlght modee can be eelected by using channel CH10 In comblnaHon wltl1 a three position

RUD
When ualng the V-tell type option, tile signal produced by tile transmitter should be without actlva mixes on tile ELE and RUD channels
(rates/expo are allowed). The S8RIS8R will mix the RUD (CH4) and ELE (CH2) input signal witl1 a fixed mix percentage automatically.
AIL 1 (CH1), AIL2 (CH5), ELE2 (CH6), •7 {CH7), 8 (CH8) signals can behave as requin1d by the user. Tha S6RIS8R supports stabiliza·
lion, auto level and oil modes when using V-Iall. CH9 can be uaad to adjust gyro gain by IIB1IIgnlng a knob or slider, this will change
the senaiiMty of the counteracting signal produced by tile Internal 111ra•axla gyroscope.

oonneciBd to the corresponding
SIIIVOII.
S.PORT can be ueed to update, edit peramater llllltlngs via the FrSky ST1< PC tool and
to
connect tslamelry eeneora.
• only S8R has 7(CH7) and 8 (CH8).
For S8R, 1-18CH can output from SBUS port. RSSI
PWM
(0- 3.3V) can output from RSSI port.
Functions
The S6RIS8R supports ateblllzatlon, automallc level, hover and Knlfa-edge night modes for conventional models, stabilization and
automatic level for Delts wing (llying wing) and V-tail. These model types can be enabled via the S8RIS8R.Conlig or S6RIS8R.Iua. If
rwquired the SBRIS8R can ba used
as
a standard 618 channel X series receiver.
•ssR can be also uaed as 16 channela X ee~ea receiver when SBUS used.
Conventional model layout
S8R/S8R supports stabilization, automatic level,
hovar, Knife..edge and an oil function when salacting a
conventional modal layout. The
available flight modes can be
set
asalgned to channels CH1 0 and CH11, In combination wltlllhree position switches as shown below:

represents the required signal change to activate the mode. When using the factory
sailings the switch position shown above represents the mode eelection.
Oft' mode: When active the S8RIS8R proceasas the received commands from the transmitter and acts on the plane without
compensating.
Stabil ization mode: When active the S8RIS8R compensates outside forcee inatently and compensatee during orders from the
lr&nsmltter using the date from the three-axis gyroacope. This to enhance the stability on all three axas of the modal (Pitch-Roll-Yaw),
thereby Improving the ateblllly by reacting to wind generated forcas encountered by the modal. CH9 can be used to adjust gyro gain
by assigning a knob or slider (gain~ abs (CH9-M)), lhls will change the aansiHvlly of the counteracllng signal produced by the Internal
thre.axls gyroscope.

Configuration
Use either a FrSky radio (win~less) or the PC configuration sol\wan1 (FrSky STK (usb adapter)) to configun1 tha S8R/S8R settings,
these an~: wing type, moundng type, gain aetllng, offllet angle aetllng and accelerometer calibration. When using a FrSky transmitter
running OpenTX, make sura the transmitter has ftrmware version 2.2 or above Installed. Copy tile S6RIS8R .lua flle on the SD card af
the lr&nsmitter, bind tile S8RJS8R ID the lransmitter and run the file.
Using the PC connguratlon software
Connect the SSR I S8R
as
shown below to the FrSky STK usb adapter, and plug ~ in to a PC.
