RadioLink AT10 Instruction Manual page 36

HELI models only: OFFSET is available in the idle ups. If OFFSET is inhibited, adjustment of the TRIM LEVERS will adjust
condition. See OFFSET , p. 81.
Trim reset ( RESET ): electronically centers the trims to their default values. Note that the SUB-TRIM settings and the trim
STEP rate are not reset by this command.
GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Reset trims to neutral after having
adjusted all linkages.

Trim step ( STEP ): changes the rate at which the trim moves when the TRIM LEVER is activated. It may be set from 1 to
40 units, depending on the characteristics of the aircraft. Most ordinary aircraft do well at about 2 to 10 units. Generally
GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Double the sensitivity (larger step) ofthe
AILERON TRIM LEVERS for a first
flight of an aerobatic model to ensure
sufficient range to trim the model for
Where next?
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 .
The recommended procedure is as follows:
• measure and record the desired surface position;
• zero out both the trims ( TRIM RESET menu) and the SUB-TRIMs (this menu);
• mount servo arms and linkages so that the control surface's neutral is as correct as possible; and
• use a small amount of SUB-TRIM
OFFSET is active, then moving the trims within any one condition will effect only that

Open BASIC menu, then open TRIM
submenu.

Close.
Adjust SUB-TRIMs : see p. 36.
Adjust trim rate ( STEP ): see below.
Adjust END POINTs : see p. 27.
STEPS:
Open TRIM submenu and choose the
STEP you wish to change. (Ex: aileron)
Adjust the size of the step.
(Ex: incr. to 8 )
Repeat as desired for other channels.
Close.
Adjust sub trims: see p. 36.
Adjust END POINTs : see p. 27.
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.
