CHAPTER III. GLOSSARY OF TERMS, KEYSTROKE COMMANDS, AND
PRIMARY MANUAL PAGE REFERENCES
All terms and abbreviations are in alphabetical order, with abbreviations listed with manual page
references then keystroke comands to activiate. For Example,
P. 1.4. Q A I
indicates chapter 1 page 4 of
this guide, and access by pressing key Q then A then I.
Note:
If a feature is used in more than one
model type, such as ADF in acro and glider, the keypad strokes to open the feature are identical.

A

R
O C G
Aileron-to-Rudder Mixing
. Air and all gliders only. Mix from aileron to rudder which automatically creates a
“coordinated turn” and keeps model from sliding in turns. Manual P. 81.
ABE
O C J
Airbrake (or gear)-to-elevator mix
. For trim compensation: all gliders only. This pre-programmed mix applies up or
down elevator when airbrake or gear are deployed, correcting for any pitch change from the added drag. Manual P. 129.
ABK
P. 2-15
O D I
Airbrake.
Air only. Combines elevator, flap, and optionally spoilers to suddenly slow the model for spot landings.
May be triggered by throttle position. Manual P. 91.
ABT
Abort
. Used to terminate certain accidental settings such as selecting the wrong channel while in the FRQ option.
ACC
O D J
Acceleration
. Heli only. This is a unique
delay mix
. When throttle is applied, opposite rudder is automatically applied
to counter torque, then gradually decreased to 0. Set up is complex, setting the desired amount of rudder at immediate
response and the delay time to compensate. Heading-hold gyros provide this automatically. Manual P. 116.
Acro
Powered aircraft model type. See TYP.
ACT
Adjustable Function Rate: see AFR.
Adjustable Servo Travel: see AST.
Activate
. Make a feature able to be utilized. While inhibited, a function can not be used even if the assigned switch is on.
Setting a feature from ACT to INH turns off its functionality without losing any settings. Only in specific features.
ADF
P. 2-4
O C F
Aileron Differential
. Decreased down aileron travel when compared to up aileron travel. Minimizes “dragging”
the low wing and creates more axial rolls. Manual P. 80.
AFR
P. 2-2
O B G
Adjustable function rate, high rate
. Adjusts the travel in each direction of a
function
. For example, used to adjust
total aileron travel whether ailerons are a single servo in channel 1, or two servos set up as flaperons, elevons, or
aileron differential. Manual P. 62.
ALT
P C K
Alternate switch
. Sets the action of the spring-loaded switch. Normal is “on” only when switch is held
on. Alt is one pull to turn on, a second pull to turn off. Manual P. 52.
ALV
P. 2-4
O D G
Ailevators.
Air only. Twin elevator servos plugged into separate channels used to control elevator with the option to also
have the 2 elevator servos act as ailerons in conjunction with the primary ailerons. Manual P. 88.
ASF
O C H
Aileron-to-speed flap mix
. 4- and 5-servo gliders only. This is a pre-programmed mix which commands the speed flaps
(main flaps on a 5-servo glider) to operate in unison with the ailerons. Manual P. 127.
Aileron Differential: See ADF; also a sub-feature of Flaperon, FPN.
Aileron to Speed Flap mixing: see ASF.
Ailevators: see ALV.
Air: Aircraft model type. See Acro and TYP.
Airbrake function. See ABK.
Airbrake trim mix. See ABE
Alternate switch set up: see ALT.
AST:
Adjustable servo travel
. End point adjustment which has only a single adjustment for both ends of the servo travel.
Not used on 9Z. See ATV.
ATV
P. 2-2
O B F
Older, less clear terminology for end point adjustment. See EPA.
Manual P. 60.
