AST: Adjustable Servo Travel. See
END POINT
.
ATL
: Adjustable Travel Limited. Standard type of trim used for throttle, where the trim is effective only in the idle portion
of the THROTTLE STICK POSITION. Normal trims affect the entire travel of the servo (ex: elevator trims), but
ATL
trims only the low end of the throttle movement, allowing throttle idle adjustments that donit over-drive the servo at full
throttle. ................................................................................................................................................................................. 38
ATV: Older, less clear terminology for end point adjustment. See
END POINT
.
Autorotation: The ability of a helicopter to land safely without engine power, using the stored energy in the bladeis rotation
to produce lift for fl aring.
AUX-CH
: Auxiliary channel setup. Used to assign which KNOBS/SWITCHES/SLIDERS control channels 5-9. Includes
CH9 servo reverse. Also allows assignment of a channel to mixing only (assigned as
NULL
), with no primary control. .... 46
Backup battery: battery used to protect data storage in case of removal of master transmitter battery. In most Futaba radios,
including the 10C, EEPROM data storage is used, so no backup battery is used or needed.
BACKUP ERROR
: transmitter's hard-coded memory has been lost. Send for service immediately. ....................................... 24

Battery FailSafe: determines how the receiver indicates an airborne pack low-battery warning. Defaults: 56% throttle,
requires throttle to idle to override. To adjust the warning point, set a THROTTLE STICK POSITION in
F/S.
.............. 50
BEEP: tone emitted by transmitter to signify a variety of situations. See Error messages.
Binding: friction in a joint exceeding the movement of the linkage. Sticking or inability to continue movement. The servo
continues to attempt to move the surface beyond its power/capabilities, rapidly draining battery power as it continues to
struggle.
Brake fl ap mixing: (
GLID
) Three mixes: brake fl ap- to-elevator, to-aileron and to-speed fl aps. 1) compensate for unwanted
reaction to lowering the brake flap, 2) increase brake flap area by including the flaperons, and 3) add lift to increase
maneuverability. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix.
Buddy Box: see Trainer box.
BUTTERFLY
: (
GLID
) [also called crow,
AIRBRAKE
(
ACRO
)]. Activates up fl
aperons and down fl aps for gliding speed control
without spoilers or airbrakes. Note: More adjustable programming is available in
ACRO
,
AIRBRAKE.

CAMBER FLAP
(
GLID
): assigns the primary fl ap control to allow trimming in fl ight of the fl ap action. The up/down travel of
each fl ap can be adjusted independently. Also the center position of fl ap servo can be offset. ........................................... 86
CAMBER MIX
(
GLID
): adjusts the mixing rate of camber operation which operates the wing camber (ailerons and fl aps) in
the negative and positive directions. The aileron, fl ap, and elevator rates can also be adjusted independently and attitude
changes caused by camber operation can be corrected. ....................................................................................................... 85
CAMPac: Optional extended data storage module. Futaba stock # DP16K/64K/128K. .................................................... 10
CCPM: Cyclic (pitch and roll) Collective Pitch Mixing. Multiple servos work in unison on the helicopteris head to create
one or more of the control functions. Ex: 3 servos set at 120 degrees operate the entire head. The 2 forward servos work
together to rotate both the blade's pitch and the roll cyclic (aileron) in a
HR3
head type. See

CH5&6
: setting in
AILE-2
that allows the second aileron servo to be in channel 5. See Twin aileron servos.
CH6 or 7
: default setting in
AILE-2
. Second aileron servo is in channel 6 or 7 depending on function used. See Twin aileron
