MODEL TYPE
: sets the type of programming used for this model.
The AT10 has 15 model memories, which can each support:
•one powered aircraft (

(Each model memory may be set to a different model type.) If your transmitter is a AT10, the default is
ACRO
. If it is a
AT10, the default is
HELI(H1)
.
ACRO
is the best choice for most powered airplanes, but in some circumstances,
GLID(2A+1F)
may be a better choice.
ACRO
is usually a better choice because of functions it offers that the
GLID
types do not:
•
ACRO
adds:
•
SNAP-ROLL
•
AILEVATOR
(twin elevator servo support)
•For fuel-powered airplanes:
IDLE-DOWN
,
THR-CUT
,
THROTTLE-NEEDLE
mixing and
THROTTLE DELAY
programming.
•But
ACRO
lacks:
•5 seperate conditions for optional setups (
START
SPEED
DISTANCE
LANDING
)

Adjustable travel limit (
ATL
): makes the channel 3 TRIM LEVER (THROTTLE TRIM) effective only at low throttle,
disabling the trim at high throttle. This prevents pushrod jamming due to idling trim changes. This function defaults to
ON
.
If you are not using channel 3 for throttle, you may want trim operation the same as on all other channels. To do so, set
ATL
to
OFF
. If you need the
ATL
to be effective at the top of the stick instead of the bottom, reverse the
THR-REV
setting. Note
that this affects all models in the radio, not just the model you are currently editing. See servo

, p. 26.
Second aileron (
AILE-2
) (
ACRO
GLID 1A+1F
GLID 2A+1F
only): changes the default choice for dual aileron servos from
channels 6 (
FLAPERON
) to channels 5 and 6, or 7(
AIL-DIF
) to channels 5 and 7. This allows you to utilize these 2 great
functions while utilizing a 5-channel receiver.
NOTE: Changing
AILE-2
only tells the system which servos to utilize if
FLAPERON
or
AIL-DIF
is activated. You still must
activate that function and complete its setup. For details on twin aileron servos, including using
AILE-2
, see p. 42.
