GLOSSARY
3D: Common name for certain types of aerobatic maneuvers. Aircraft: flying below the model’s stall speed, such as
torque rolls. Helicopters: combining 2 or more maneuvers, such as rolling loop.
4.8V: 4.8 volt battery pack, made of 4 Ni-Cd 1.2V cells. See Accessories.
5-cell: 6.0 volt battery pack, made of 4 alkaline cells or 5 Ni-Cd cells. See Accessories.
6V (6Volt): battery pack, made of 4 alkaline cells or 5 Ni-Cd cells. See Accessories.
ACCELERATION: a delay mix which richens engine mixture and then returns to normal to compensate for abrupt throttle
changes. See THR-NEEDLE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .56

ACT. Active. Make a feature able to be utilized. Opposite of INH. Only visible in certain features.
Adjustable Function Rate: see SWASH AFR.
Adjustable Servo Travel (AST): a specific type of end point adjustment. See END POINT.
Adjustable Travel Limited (ATL): End point adjustment for low end only, for throttle channel. See ATL.
Adjustable Travel Volume (ATV): an older, less specific term for end point adjustment. See END POINT.
ADVANCE menus: Specific menus for each model type which allow the modeler to access and program the radio’s more
advanced features.
AFR: Adjustable function rate. Used only in HELI model types with CCPM heads. See SWASH AFR.
AIL-2: second aileron servo assignment. See Twin aileron servos.
AIL1/2/3/4: Designation for the individual servos that are being commanded by the aileron command. Ex: when using
ailevators, the two elevator servos are also acting as ailerons 3 and 4 (unless you set their values to 0). See Twin aileron
servos and Twin elevator servos.
Aileron: surface that controls the roll of the model. Also called cyclic roll on a helicopter.
Aileron-to-flap mixing: Mixing used to create full-span aileron action. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable
mix. This is the default setup of one mix in GLID.
Aileron-to-rudder mix: Mixing that automatically creates a “coordinated turn”. Not a preprogrammed mix. See
Programmable mix. This is the default setup of one curve mix in HELI / GLID.
Aileron Differential: Decreased down aileron travel when compared to up aileron travel. Minimizes “dragging” the low
wing and creates more axial rolls. See Twin aileron servos. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .44
Ailevator: two elevators on separate channels, also capable of acting as additional ailerons. See Twin elevator servos.
AILEVATORS: (ACRO) Twin elevator servos plugged into separate channels, used to control elevator with the option to
also act as ailerons in conjunction with the primary ailerons. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .49
Airbrake-to-elevator mixing: (GLID) Applies up or down elevator when airbrakes are deployed, correcting for any pitch
change from the added drag. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix.
Airbrake: (GLID) Leading edge flaps on gliders, controlled by C
HANNEL 3 (NORMALLY THROTTLE) STICK.
AIRBRAKE: (ACRO) Combines elevator, flap, and optionally spoilers to suddenly slow the model for spot landings. May
be triggered by T
HROTTLE STICK POSITION. For similar glider programming, see BUTTERFLY. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55
