The transmitter has four proportional channels, which means the controlled surfaces will move proportionally to the movements of the Control Sticks. These proportional channels are usually assigned to channels 1 through 4 as default. Depending on the selected Control Stick Mode, the channel's mapping to each stick will be different, as explained in the images below. Additional channels (5 through 12) are controlled by switches, sliders, or knobs and are used to control the operation of landing gear, flaps, airbrakes, etc.
The AT10II incorporates Five Control Stick modes(-,1,2,3,4). The default mode is selected by the consumer at the time of purchase. The following displays indicate the available mode layouts.
Mode 5 "-" is a custom programmable mode. This mode allows the user to program AUX channels to the left or right stick functionality (replacing the default CH1 to 4)
Note: This section explains the necessary steps to mechanically change the gimbal locations. The Mode Function must be programmatically changed to suit the new gimbal layout. Please refer to STK-MODE for software changes.
1. To change the Mode layout of the gimbals, remove the back cover from the transmitter by removing the battery cover, battery pack(or tray), and the four #1 Phillips head scews holding the back cover to the main case.
Do not lay the transmitter on the gimbal sticks(control sticks). This may damage the gimbal's components, which could result in an uncontrolled flight characteristic.
Circuit boards contain static-sensitive components. Discharge any static electricity from your hands by touching a proper ground device before working or touching a circuit board.
2. Slowly remove the back cover by lifting it slightly and then laying it beside the main case. Locate the Trainer Port Wire cable coming from the back cover and disconnect its connector, which is located in the middle of the main circuit board, then set the cover aside.
3. To switch gimbal modes, remove the Tension Plate's two #1 Phillips Head srcews[A] and then the Tension Plate[B].
4. Next, using tweezers(or a similar tool) remove the Lever Arm Spring[C] and then the Lever Arm[D] by gently lifting it back and upwards.
5. Adjust the sticks' tensions as needed.
6. Reconnect the trainer's port wire lead, then reinstall the back cover.
7. Proceed to changing the software setting for the mode position:
Long-press the Mode key to enter the BASIC MENU->Rotate the Scroll Dial to highlight the PARAMETER option and depress the Enter key->Select the STK-MODE and change the Mode as required.
8. Finally, perform a Control Stick Calibration to ensure accuracy.
