4. Fuselage linkage
Connect the throttle rudder, aileron, elevator, pitch,
and other servos in accordance with the kit instruction
manual. For a description of the connection method, see
"Servos connection by model type".
Note: The channel assignment of the T18SZ
is different from that of our existing systems.
(The channel assigned to each function can
be checked at the Function menu of the
Linkage menu.)
● If the direction of operation of the servo is
incorrect, use the Reverse function of the
Linkage menu. Also use the swash AFR
function in other than the H-1 mode.
● Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro.
(Gyro side function)
● Connect the throttle linkage so that the
carburetor can fully close at full trim throttle
cut.
● Adjust the neutral position at the linkage
side and fine tune with the Sub-Trim function
and End point function (rudder angle
adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit
position can also be set with the End point
function.

● Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)
*If any interactions are noticed, for a description of the
linkage correction function, please refer to the SWASH
function.
5. Throttle/Pitch curve setting
This function adjusts the throttle or pitch operation
curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for
each condition.
<Throttle curve setting example>
Call the throttle curve of each condition with the
condition select switch.
●Normal curve adjustment
Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve
centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted
together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the
engine speed is constant and up/down control is
easiest.
●Idle up curve adjustment
The low side Throttle curve creates a curve
matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).
●Throttle hold curve adjustment
The curve is not used when performing auto rotation
dives.
Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of
the stick is 0% (initial setting).
<Example of pitch curve setting>
Call the pitch curve of each condition with the
condition select switch.
●Pitch curve (Normal)
Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5º~6º.
Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at
the 50% point as the standard.
*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve.
Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function
and hovering pitch function together.
●Pitch curve (Idle up 1)
The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve
