[. . . ] Next, set the 2ND ATV trimmers on aileron and elevator to the desired deflection angles on the aircraft. The deflection angle decreases when the 2ND ATV trimmer is turned counterclockwise. Throttle control can be adjusted with the ATL trim lever 19 This completes the settings for basic 8 channel use. ·USING ATV (ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL VOLUME) GENERAL - ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume) allows independent adjustment of servo maximum throw in each direction (without affecting the neutral position). This is also sometimes referred to as "separate endpoint adjustment". ATV is very convenient when for example: a model requires more DOWN elevator deflection than UP for equal inside and outside loops (with equal control stick deflection). Other aircraft may require slightly different RIGHT or LEFT aileron or rudder deflection to give equal response in each direction (due to engine torque, precision of the model, etc. ). Memory (Pushbutton) ATV and 2ND ATV. MEMORY (PUSHBUTTON) ATV This type of ATV is available on all eight channels. NOTE: Memory ATV settings are retained in the transmitter memory circuit even when the power switch is turned OFF. They are lost however, if the transmitter Nicd battery nears full discharge or is removed for servicing. ATV SETTING Switch switches (S), [49] and (R) [48] Fig. 30 MEMORY (PUSHBUTTON) ATV - (Aileron CH1 used as example) First, set Function Select Switch [49] to ATV position. Set the transmitter and receiver power switches ON and check for proper servo operation. Move the Aileron stick to full RIGHT aileron, hold it in that position, and set servo movement to the desired Right aileron deflection angle by pressing Button [46] or 47. For other channels, select the channel with switch 48 and adjust ATV as desired. When all adjustments are completed, set the Function Select and Channel Select switches ([48]and [49]) to OFF. To clear the ATV settings on all channels, set the Function Select switch [49] to RESET and Channel Select switch 48 to POSITION 2 (Pos. 2 = ATV when 49 is on RESET) and press Buttons 46 and 47 simultaneously. ATV is cleared on ALL CHANNELS and servos will move to 100% of their maximum throw. If only one channel is to be cleared or changed, simply repeat Steps I through 5 with Channel Select Switch [48] set to the appropriate channel. ATV/FS BUTTON ·These two pushbutton switches are used for servo deflection angle setting of ATV, FS or HOLD function, servo test start & stop; reset; battery FS memory set, etc. This pushbutton switch is used when: Making the ATV servo deflection angle larger. This pushbutton switch is used when: Making the ATV servo deflection angle smaller. When button 46 and 47 are pressed at the same time, reset or battery FS memory setting is possible. At this time, lamp A of memory lamps 22 goes out momentarily so that setting can be monitored. Fig. [. . . ] Otherwise, it will remain ON and Control Switch 16 is available for use as the Rudder Dual Rate ON/OFF Switch. MIX ON/ OFF Switch, Rudder Dual Rate cannot be switched manually, but Auto Dual Rate Rudder can still be used. Use Trimmers 11 and 12 to set the amount and direction of desired Rudder movement when the Aileron stick is deflected. Fig. ·Programmed Mixing can be used to correct an unwanted UP or DOWN pitch movement of the aircraft when Rudder is during knife edge and rolling maneuvers. [. . . ]
