Chapter 1 General Introduction
1.1 Motion Principle of Fixed Wing
As below picture shown, besides the propeller, the two ailerons/horizontal tail/vertical tail are
also the moving parts of A560.
1.1.1 Aileron
Ailerons are controlled by a servo. When the left aileron moves up and the right down, left
aileron gets pushed by airflow downward and the right aileron is pushed by airflow upward,
then A560 will lean to left or roll over to left. When the left aileron moves down and the right up,
left aileron gets pushed by airflow upward and the right aileron is pushed downward, then
A560 will lean to right or roll over to right.
1.1.2 Elevator Servo/Horizontal Tail
When the elevator servo moves upward, the horizontal tail gets pushed downward by airflow
and the head of A560 will go up. When the elevator servo moves downward, the horizontal tail
gets pushed upward by airflow and the head of A560 will go down.
1.1.3 Rudder Servo/Vertical Tail
Similar to elevator servo, when rudder servo moves left, the vertical tail gets pushed to right by

RadioLink Electronic Ltd

6
airflow and the head of A560 will turn left. When rudder servo moves right, the vertical tail gets
pushed to left and the head of A560 will turn right.
Note The direction mentioned above is relative to aircraft instead of the ground. That is, if the
aircraft is reversed (body upside down), its above is the ground instead of the sky/ceiling.
When there’s no flight controller assisting or at MANUAL MODE, if maximize the elevator
servo, the aircraft will roll over like roller coaster instead of moving upward. When under the
assistance of the flight controller with VERTICAL MODE or STABILIZE MODE, the max pitch
angle is limited. The aircraft will keep heading upward instead of rolling over if the elevator
servo is maximized.
Besides, the function of all servos are related to the motor/throttle (propeller rotation speed).
Because if the aircraft moves faster, the airflow applies more force on the servos.
1.1.4 Drive Principle
Servo outputs signal and voltage by receiver and adjust corresponding angle in real time.
Generally, angle that servo can adjust is no more than 90°.

1.3 Usage of A560 Units
1.3.1 Notice for Use
No foreign matter such as water, oil, sand etc inside the A560.
Make sure the complete device incl. A560 and transmitter, battery functions well.
Never self-change the aircraft or related parts. Or it may influence its functionality and possibly
cause flight accident.
1.3.2 Transmitter & Receiver
A560 RTF(Ready To Fly) is packed with RadioLink 8-channel transmitter T8S and mini
receiver R8XM, with the stable control distance up to 4000 meters and real-time built-in
telemetry function. (Maximum range tested in unobstructed areas free of interference and may
vary depending on local regulations.)
If it is the PNP version purchased, please refer to the manuals of the transmitter and receiver
used for more details.
Joystick Mode
To beginners, it’s very important to understand what joysticks connect to different channels
and choose the most suitable mode .
First, throttle is controlled by toggling joystick up(top-max 100%) and down (bottom-min 0%).
Below explanation takes MODE 2 with throttle joystick on left as example.
Left Joystick: Toggle up and down to control the motor (up as accelerate while down as
decelerate). Toggle left and right to control the rudder (left as anticlockwise while right as
clockwise).
Right Joystick: Toggle up and down to control the elevator servo(up as descend while down to
lift the fixed wing). Toggle left and right to control the aileron servo( left to make the fixed wing
rolling to left while right as rolling to right)

RadioLink Electronic Ltd

Usage of T8S Transmitter:
Make sure the transmitter power is fully charged.
If transmitter is changed, binding process needs to be redone before use. Please refer to
the user manual of T8S for more details. You can visit RadioLink official website for
detailed user manual of T8S: https://www.radiolink.com/t8s_manual
Make sure to power off the A560 before the transmitter when landing.
The standard packed receiver of A560, R8XM supports real-time transmission of RSSI,
receiver voltage, and model voltage. The telemetry range is the same as the control range,
4000 meters. Connect the balance head of the battery to the telemetry port of R8XM, the
model voltage will be displayed. (For A560 RTF, the telemetry port of R8XM is connected to
ESC directly, with no need to connect it to the battery balance head.) And R8XM supports up
to 6S (25.2V) battery voltage telemetry.
When the returned RSSI, receiver voltage, and model voltage are lower than the set alarm
value, the transmitter will emit alarm tone:
1Low transmitter voltage alarm: keep DDDD beep quickly and continuously
2Low receiver voltage alarm: five DDDDD beeps as a unit continuous beeping prompt
3Low model voltage alarm: three DDD beeps as a unit continuous beeping prompt
4Low RSSI alarm: four DDDD beeps as a unit continuous beeping prompt
Note: The returned model voltage alarm is set to 7.4V (2S battery) by default. When the
battery voltage of A560 is lower than 7.4V, the transmitter will emit three DDD beeps to alarm.
For detailed manual of R8XM receiver, please check it on RadioLink official website:
https://www.radiolink.com/r8xm_manual
1.3.3 Flight Controller Byme-A V2.0
A560 RTF version is with flight controller Byme-A V2.0 installed by default. When
installing or replacing the flight controller, make sure the arrow on Byme-A V2.0 points to

RadioLink Electronic Ltd

the A560 head with the 3M paste on the A560. It is advised to install the flight controller
close to the core of the A560 and connect the servo wires, ESC and receiver cables to the
corresponding flight controller pin.
Channels on Byme-A V2.0 flight controller: CH1-Aileron, CH2-Elevator, CH3-Throttle,
CH4-Rudder, S.BUS/PPM-connect to receiver, SBUS/PPM signal supported.
1.3.4 Motor
Motor installed on A560 is SZ-SPEED 2206F 1450KV brushless motor. (Motor with higher KV
value, means higher rotation speed and smaller torsion force, suits smaller propeller.)
Usage of Motor:
Make sure motors are installed tightly and rotate smoothly. If fail to rotate, stop operating
transmitter immediately and pull the throttle to the bottom position in case of possible
damage to motors.
Never self-change the motor structure.
When motors stop rotating, never touch it at once, otherwise may get burnt.
Never cover the air vent on the motor. Make sure no foreign matter inside the motors.
Make sure motors completely stop before powering off the A560 and the transmitter.
1.3.5 ESC
The function of ESC is to change the direct current to alternating one to power supply motor
and change its rotation speed basing on the throttle command. Another function of ESC is to
lower the model voltage to 5V for receiver as the battery applied for A560 is 7.4V 2S LiPo
Battery. Therefore, there are three wires of ESC respectively for battery, motor and receiver.
ESC applied in A560 is FLYCOLOR 15A brushless ESC.
Usage of ESC:
Make sure there’s a tone from ESC when power on the aircraft.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd

1.3.6 Servo
A560 uses a EMAX 8G servo as aileron servo and 2 pieces of EMAX 4.3G servo for elevator
servo and rudder servo respectively.
1.3.7 Propeller
A560 adopts GEMFAN 8038 propeller, which is installed by factory default. If new propeller
needs to be changed, fix the propeller and motor with a rubber band.
Propeller need to be identified correctly. If forward and reverse mistaken, the aircraft couldn’t
take off even maximize the throttle. The rotation direction of motor and propeller should be the
same. That is, if the motor rotates clockwise, so is the propeller.
A560 is standard packed with 2 GEMFAN 8038 propellers. If you need to replace the propeller,
please put the below No. 2 propeller ring into the propeller, as shown in the following pictures.
Usage of propeller:
Make sure to check the propeller is in good condition before flight. If aged, damaged or
deformed, please change to good one then flight.
Make sure to disconnect the power supply before touching the propeller.
As propeller is thin, use tools to (un)install if necessary and be careful to avoid accidental
scratch.
Make sure propeller is installed well and tight before flight.
Do not get close to rotating propeller and motor (for example, to pick up a landing plane
by hand ) to avoid cuts
1.3.8 Battery
A560 supports 2S-3S LiPo battery. A560 is packed with FULLYMAX 2S 7.4V 500mAh LiPo
Battery. With the LiPo battery fully charged, pilots can enjoy vertical flight for 10 minutes while
level flight for 20 minutes.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
11
Usage of battery:
Make sure the power connection of transmitter and aircraft is dry.
Make sure the transmitter and aircraft are fully charged.
When A560 flies for about 10 minutes, if the power of the aircraft drops when the throttle
is pushed, the battery voltage on the aircraft is insufficient. At this time, please return to
the flight immediately to avoid the failure of the aircraft to return due to the insufficient
power battery voltage and the over-discharge of the battery.
1.3.9 Charger
A560 is packed with RadioLink CM210 balance charger (Only for 2S lipo battery) to charge the
battery.
The connection of CM210, battery, cable is as shown below:

Chapter 3 Flight Mode
3.1 Flight Mode Setting
With the three-axis gyroscope and three-axis acceleration sensor and the full attitude
algorithm, control algorithm and digital filter, the integrated flight controller Byme-A V2.0
specially for 3D fixed wing, is different from traditional manual mode. Working with gyro to
assist stabilization, Byme-A V2.0 makes the flight much easier.
There are six flight modes: Stabilize Mode, Gyro Mode, Manual Mode, Acrobat Mode,
Vertical Mode(Multirotor), and Vertical Mode(Fixed Wing).
No.
Flight Mode
Brief
1
Stabilize Mode
Flight controller assists to balance A560. When joystick back to
center, A560 will back to level. There’s max roll angle and pitch
angle.
2
Gyro Mode
flight controller assists to balance A560. When joystick back to
center, A560 will NOT back to level.
3
Manual Mode
No flight controller or gyro assist to balance. The most
advanced level for professionals.
4
Acrobat Mode
Combination of Stabilize Mode and Gyro Mode. When joystick
is back to center, A560 will back to level. There’s NO max roll
angle or pitch angle. Rolling over is possible.
5
Vertical Mode
(Multirotor)
Stabilization achieved by flight controller. One switch to flight
vertically. The joystick operation is same as that of multi-rotors.
6
Vertical Mode
(Fixed Wing)
Stabilization achieved by flight controller. One switch to flight
vertically.
Flight modes are set by CH5(3-way switch SWB) and CH7(3-way switch SWA) by default as
below.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
14
3.2 Six Flight Modes
All the settings will take Mode 2 as example.
3.2.1 Stabilize Mode
Different form manually control, Stabilize Mode with flight controller balancing, is suitable for
beginners to practice level flight.
The model attitude (inclination angles) is controlled by joysticks. When the joystick is back to
central point, the A560 will level. The max inclination angle is 70° for rolling while that for
pitching is 45°.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
15

RadioLink Electronic Ltd

16
If the throttle is toggled upward, the A560 accelerate. If toggled downward, the A560
decelerate.
3.2.2 Vertical Mode (Multirotor)
Vertical Flight Mode can be changed with one switch and control as multicopter, pilots can
make the fixed wing automatically fly with the vertical posture. Tutorial video can be checked
via https://youtu.be/N2Gm4OUhu-c
At this mode, A560 will keep vertical attitude automatically. The attitude algorithm of flight
controller will convert the joystick output to the horizontal coordinates and control with full
posture.
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the aileron joystick(CH1) to control the A560 moving left or
right.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
17
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the elevator joystick(CH2) to control the A560 moving
forward or backward.
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the rudder joystick(CH4) to control the A560 moving
(anti)clockwise.
If the throttle joystick is toggled upward, the A560 climbs upwards at a vertical attitude. If
toggled downward, the A560 descends at a vertical attitude.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
18
3.2.2 Vertical Mode (Fixed Wing)
At Vertical Mode (Fixed Wing), the A560 will remain vertical posture and direction.
The altitude algorithm of Byme-A V2.0 maps the joystick operation onto horizontal ordinates
and takes control of full altitude.
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the aileron joystick(CH1) to control the A560 moving
(anti)clockwise.
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the elevator joystick(CH2) to control the A560 moving
forward or backward.

RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
19
When the A560 is vertical, toggle the rudder joystick(CH4) to control the aircraft moving left or
right.
If the throttle joystick is toggled upward, the A560 climbs upwards at a vertical attitude. If
toggled downward, the A560 descends at a vertical attitude.
3.2.4 Gyro Mode
At this more advanced mode, the integrated three-axis gyro assists to increase the stability.
But A560 won’t level even the joystick is back to central point. The joystick control the
rotation(angle speed) of the A560. That is, when rolling, pitching or rudder joystick is toggled,
A560 will rotate with the corresponding speed.
3.2.5 Acrobat Mode
Combination of Stabilize Mode and Gyro Mode makes it easy to realize various free styles
such as rolling, rapid pitching, backward, side flight and spiral descending.
A560 will level when the joystick is back to central point. If the joystick is toggled with small
range, A560 will move to the corresponding directions.
When toggle joysticks with large range, A560 will rotate to the corresponding directions.
3.2.6 Manual Mode
No assistance from flight controller algorithm or gyro, all flight movements are realized
manually, which requires the most advanced skills.
It’s strongly advised for beginners to choose Vertical Mode or Stabilize Mode to practice. Or if
in small space, Vertical Mode can be set to take off and land then switch to level flight(Stabilize
Mode/Gyro Mode/Acrobat Mode/Manual Mode) when reach a certain height. If switch to other
flight modes from Vertical Mode, remember to pull the elevator joystick to ensure rising of A560.
Otherwise the A560 will crash.
When at Vertical Mode, the joystick operation is same as that of multi-copters.
