    A560 will lean to left or roll over to left. When the left aileron moves down and the right up, left aileron gets pushed by airflow upward and the right aileron is pushed downward, then A560 will lean to right or roll over to right.

    RadioLink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com airflow and the head of A560 will turn left. When rudder servo moves right, the vertical tail gets pushed to left and the head of A560 will turn right. Note The direction mentioned above is relative to aircraft instead of the ground. That is, if the aircraft is reversed (body upside down), its above is the ground instead of the sky/ceiling.
  • Page 8: Usage Of A560 Units

    1.3.2 Transmitter & Receiver A560 RTF(Ready To Fly) is packed with RadioLink 8-channel transmitter T8S and mini receiver R8XM, with the stable control distance up to 4000 meters and real-time built-in telemetry function. (Maximum range tested in unobstructed areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations.)

  • Page 11: Servo

    RadioLink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com 1.3.6 Servo A560 uses a EMAX 8G servo as aileron servo and 2 pieces of EMAX 4.3G servo for elevator servo and rudder servo respectively. 1.3.7 Propeller A560 adopts GEMFAN 8038 propeller, which is installed by factory default. If new propeller needs to be changed, fix the propeller and motor with a rubber band.
  • Page 12: Charger

    Make sure the transmitter and aircraft are fully charged.  When A560 flies for about 10 minutes, if the power of the aircraft drops when the throttle  is pushed, the battery voltage on the aircraft is insufficient. At this time, please return to the flight immediately to avoid the failure of the aircraft to return due to the insufficient power battery voltage and the over-discharge of the battery.
  • Page 13 LED indicator will be always on. 2. Insert the balance port of the standard 2S lithium battery of A560 into the charging port of CM210 (as shown in the picture above). Then the green LED indicator starts flashing, which means it starts to charge the battery.
  • Page 14: Chapter 2 A560 Assembly

    Chapter 2 A560 Assembly All electronic components of A560 RTF have been debugged and the aileron and tail (Horizontal Stabilizer) are not assembled by factory default. Please follow the packed A560 Assembly & Disassembly Instruction to complete the assembly of the aileron and tail (Horizontal Stabilizer).
  • Page 15: Six Flight Modes

    The model attitude (inclination angles) is controlled by joysticks. When the joystick is back to central point, the A560 will level. The max inclination angle is 70° for rolling while that for pitching is 45°.
  • Page 16 RadioLink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com...
  • Page 17: Vertical Mode (Multirotor)

    At this mode, A560 will keep vertical attitude automatically. The attitude algorithm of flight controller will convert the joystick output to the horizontal coordinates and control with full posture. When the A560 is vertical, toggle the aileron joystick(CH1) to control the A560 moving left or right.
  • Page 18 When the A560 is vertical, toggle the rudder joystick(CH4) to control the A560 moving (anti)clockwise. If the throttle joystick is toggled upward, the A560 climbs upwards at a vertical attitude. If toggled downward, the A560 descends at a vertical attitude.
  • Page 19: Vertical Mode (Fixed Wing)

    The altitude algorithm of Byme-A V2.0 maps the joystick operation onto horizontal ordinates and takes control of full altitude. When the A560 is vertical, toggle the aileron joystick(CH1) to control the A560 moving (anti)clockwise. When the A560 is vertical, toggle the elevator joystick(CH2) to control the A560 moving...
  • Page 20: Gyro Mode

    Combination of Stabilize Mode and Gyro Mode makes it easy to realize various free styles such as rolling, rapid pitching, backward, side flight and spiral descending. A560 will level when the joystick is back to central point. If the joystick is toggled with small range, A560 will move to the corresponding directions.

    4. Make sure that the front and back of the propeller are installed correctly and the propeller is not inclined. 5. Keep A560 face up, rather than upside down during power-on calibration and attitude calibration. 6. After the setting of channel direction in the transmitter, please calibrate the attitude once.

    NOR/REV and modify gyro direction when doing attitude calibration. At Stabilize Mode, hold the A560 and simulate the actual flight movement to check the gyro phase of aileron, elevator, and rudder are right or not. There is no need to operate the transmitter when testing the gyro phase.
  • Page 23: Gyro Phase Adjustment

    RadioLink Electronic Ltd www.radiolink.com In Stabilize Mode, if the gyro phase is reversed, please adjust the gyro phase by the flight controller Byme-A V2.0. See the below chapter for the adjustment method. 7.2 Gyro Phase Adjustment If gyro phase is reversed, the phase needs to be adjusted by the flight controller. Press the button on the front of the flight controller Byme-A V2.0 to change the gyro phase.

    Please refer to A560 RTF Chapter 2 A560 Assembly. 2.2 Receiver Connection For A560 PNP version, transmitter and receiver needs to be installed. A560 is compatible to all transmitters that supports SBUS/PPM signal. 1. First, install the receiver on A560 aircraft. Make sure the receiver is switched to SBUS/PPM signal mode, and then connect the receiver to Byme-A V2.0 flight controller.
