Heli-Specific Basic Menu Functions; Model Type ( Parameters Submenu) - RadioLink AT10 Instruction Manual

GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Learn how to operate HOVERING PITCH
and HOVERING THROTTLE
properly balanced and will track without checking.
Check receiver battery voltage! Always check voltage with a voltmeter prior to each and every engine start.(Never
and other problems can result in a dangerous crash with the possibility of injury to yourself, others and property.
Apply full collective and check that the swashplate remained level and there is no binding. Repeat for full cyclic pitch and
roll. If not, adjust as needed to correct in END POINT : see p. 27.
Important note: prior to setting up throttle hold, idle-ups, offsets, etc, be sure to get your normal condition operating
properly.
Checking setup prior to going airborne: Check voltage! Then, with the assistance of an instructor, and having completed
all range checks, etc, gradually apply throttle until the helicopter becomes "light on the skids." Adjust trims as needed to
correct for any roll, pitch, or yaw tendencies. If the tail "wags," the gyro gain is too high. Decrease gyro gain.
Where next? (Other functions you may wish to set up for your model.)
THROTTLE HOLD : P. 79.
SUB-TRIM p. 36 and separate trims for conditions ( OFFSETS ): p. 82.
Governor setup: p. 87.
IDLE-UP p. 81.
DELAYs to ease servo response when switching idle-ups: p. 82.
Rudder-to-throttle and other programmable mixes p. 53.

Periodically move the throttle stick to full and back down to ensure proper servo settings.
2
It is critical that dials A and C be centered when the pitch and throttle curves are setup.

HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE TYPES:
The AT10 radios support 8 basic swashplate setups, including "single servo" ( H-1 -most helicopters use this type) and 7 types
of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A "single servo" swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator
(cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the
3 axes of motion. There are 7 basic CCPM types, displayed below. CCPM has several advantages, the most obvious of
which is far less mechanical complexity to properly move the swashplate of the helicopter. Additionally, several servos
working in unison (ex: HR3, all 3 servos together create elevator movement) dramatically increases the torque available as
well as the precision and centering.
Please note that some helicopters are type HR3 or HN3 , except off by 180 degrees. If your model's swashplate is off by
180 you will still use that swashplate type, but also use SWASH AFR to adjust the functions as needed until it operates
properly. Additionally, different angles of CCPM may also be created utilizing the fully assignable programmable mixes.

STEPS:
Notice at half throttle, the VR(C) dial
adjusts the throttle separately from the
pitch. VR(A) adjusts the pitch separately
from the throttle.
