5. Using the trainer function

You can practice flying with the aid of another pilot or help

another pilot fly by connecting the SKYSPORT-6A transmit-

ter to another SKYSPORT-6A , PCM1024Z, 7UA, or 5UA

Series with a special trainer cable (sold separately).

(Use)

The model is controlled by the instructor transmitter when the

trainer switch is OFF and is controlled by the student trans-

mitter when trainer switch to ON.

(Usage precautions)

* Never turn on the student transmitter power switch.

* Make the student transmitter and instructor transmitter set-

tings the same.

* Make sure the modulation method of the other transmitter

is FM (PPM).

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The abbreviations used with the SKYSPORT-6A are defined

below in alphabetical order.

ACT (activate)

Means that a function is turned on. Its opposite is INH (in-

hibit).

To activate a function, its ACT/INH switch is set to the ACT

position. If the switch is not in the ACT position, the function is

not activated^

AILERON/AIL.

An auxiliary airfoil at the left and right wings of an airplane to

control its rolling.

AST (Adjustable Servo travel)

This feature allows adjustment of the travel of the servo

of a

certain channel. It is used when setting up the linkages.

ATL (Adjustable Throttle Limit)

This feature allows movement of the throttle trim lever that

operates only when the throttle stick is in the SLOW position.

It is convenient because it does not affect the HIGH side of

the throttle.

ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume)

This feature allows independent adjustment of the servo

travel in each direction. It is convenient when setting up the

linkages.

D/R (Dual Rate)

This function allows switching to one of two deflection angles

while flying. The deflection angle best for the aircraft can be

set for one switch position and spins, snap rolls, and other

aerobatics that require a maximum deflection angle can be

performed easily by setting up maximum deflection for the

other switch position.

DIFF. (aileron differential)

This feature allows application of a differential to the right

wing aileron and left wing aileron when the wing has two aile-

ron servos. It is used to correct undesirable tendencies and to

compensate the roll axis.

ELV.->FLP. (elevator->flap mixing)

This feature applies mixing from the elevators to the flaps

when the fuselage has flaps. When mixing is applied so that

the flaps are lowered when the elevators are raised, loops

and other aerobatics can be performed cleanly. The mixing

amount should be adjusted optimally for individual aircraft.

ELEVATOR / ELV.

A horizontal airfoil for making an airplane go up or down.

FLAPERON

This is a mixing function that gives the ailerons a flap func-

tion.

It is a convenient method of mixing aileron operation and flap

operation using only two aileron servos at the wings. (Flap

operation can be performed without the need for separate

flap surfaces.)

FLP. (Flap)

A movable auxiliary airfoil attached to the center of a wing to

increase the lift at slow speed when taking off and landing.

With models it can also be mixed with the elevator and used

in circular aerobatics.

FLP.TRIM (Flap trim)

This feature switches the flap servo deflection angle between

normal operating angle and trim angle. It is convenient when

mixing the flaps with other channels.

GEAR (Landing gear)

This is for airplane landing gear.

Since the landing gear is normally extended or retracted, this

channel can only be turned fully on or off. It cannot be

stopped midway.

INH (Inhibit)

Means that the function is turned off (stopped). It is the oppo-

site of ACT (activate). When a function is not used, its ACT/

INH switch is always set to the INH position.

NOR (Normal)

Used to represent the default or normal state of a function.

For example, the servo reversing function has a normal side

and a reverse side.

RATE

In the dual rate function for example, this is the rate of servo

travel in percentage relative to the normal servo travel. The

rate is adjusted with a trimmer for each function.

REV (Reverse)

Represents the servo reversing function that lets you reverse

the normal direction of servo movement, or the setting posi-

tion of a switch (reverse position). It is used when the direc-

tion of the transmitter stick and the direction of servo move-

ment are opposite of the desired movement after the servos

are mounted in the fuselage and each airfoil and servo are

connected by pushrods, etc. The direction of movement can

be corrected without changing the linkage.

RUD (Rudder)

A hinged directional surface attached to the vertical trailing

edge of the tail of an aircraft.

TH (Throttle)

Used to controls the fuel at the intake of an engine. When it is

opened, a large amount of fuel is drawn into the engine and

the engine speed increases. When it is closed, the engine

speed slows.

TRIM

A fine adjustment device that sets the deflection angle of

each airfoil for stable flight.

(OTHERS)

Mixing

A function that allows two or more different channels to be

operated together in a linked or dependent manner.

For example, when mixing is applied from elevators to flaps,

the elevator servo and flap servo can be operated simulta-

neously by operation of the elevator stick.
