1.2 Motion Principle of Fixed Wing
As below picture shown, besides the propellers, the two ailerons/horizontal tail/vertical tail are
also the moving parts of A560.
1.2.1 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.
1.2.2 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.

1.2.3 Rudder servo/Vertical Tail
Similar to elevator servo, when rudder servo moves left, the vertical tail gets pushed to right by
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 (prop rotation speed).
Because if the aircraft moves faster, the airflow applies more force on the servos.
1.3 Transmitter and Receiver
A560 RTF(Ready To Fly) is packed with RadioLink 8-channel transmitter T8FB and mini
receiver R8FM, with the stable control distance up to 2000m. （Maximum range tested in
unobstructed areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations）
If it is the BNP version purchased, transmitter and receiver needs to be installed. A560 is
compatible to all transmitters that SBUS/PPM signal supported.
1.4 Power System
The power system of A560 includes motor, ESC, propellers and battery.
1.4.1 Motors and Propellers
Motor installed on A560 is SZ 2206F 1500KV brushless motor. (motor with higher KV value,
means higher rotation speed and smaller torsion force, suits smaller propeller)
A560 adopts GEMFAN 8030 props, which is installed by factory default. If new prop needs to
be changed, fix the prop and motor with a rubber band.
Note 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 prop should be
same. That is, if the motor rotates clockwise, so is the prop.
1.4.2 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.
Therefore, there are three wires of ESC respectively for battery, motor and receiver. ESC
applied in A560 is FLYCOLOR 15A brushless ESC.
1.4.3 Battery
A560 supports 2S-3S LiPo battery. With 660mAh LiPo battery fully charged, pilots can enjoy
vertical flight for10min while level flight 20min.

1.5 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°. A560 uses a EMAX 8G servo as
aileron servo and 2 pieces of 4.3G servo for elevator servo and rudder servo respectively.
Chapter 2 Parameter Setup
2.1 Transmitter
2.1.1 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)

2.1.2 Model Type Setup
Transmitter with A560 by default is RadioLink T8FB. If it is the RTF set purchased or the
RadioLink transmitter T8FB used to work with A560 BNF version, there’s no need to setup
model type. If it is other transmitter to work with A560, model type needs to be set as fixed
wing. Take AT9S as example( same as AT10II/AT10/AT9):
Steps:
Power on the transmitter-Long press Mode to enter BASIC MENU-Turn the Dial to highlight
MODEL TYPE-Press Push to enter the menu and turn Dial to select ACROBASIC-Long press
Push for 1s and a notice “ARE YOU SURE”pops out-Press Push again and a notice”Please
wait...” pops out and there will be DEE sound heard, meaning setting complete.
2.1.3 Phase Setup
Transmitter phase relates to attitude calibration and servo phase needs to be calibrated by
flight controller(this step can be skipped for A560 RTF version).
Steps:
Long press Mode to enter BASIC MENU - rotate Dial to highlight REVERSE-Press Push to
enter the menu-rotate Dial to highlight 3:THRO -change NOR to REV-press Push to confirm
‘ARE YOU SURE?’

2.2 Aircraft Installation
The wing is not assembled by factory default. Therefore, when the box is received and unpacked,
please assemble the wing on the fuselage first. Please refer to the video for detailed instructions.
https://youtu.be/WkcsBdWsfMo
Channels on flight controller: Ch1-Aileron, Ch2-Elevator, Ch3-Throttle, Ch4-Rudder,
S.BUS/PPM-connect to receiver, SBUS/PPM signal supported.
2.3 Flight Controller Installation
RTF version is with flight controller Byme-A installed by default. If purchase separately,
make sure the arrow on Byme-A points to the aircraft head with the 3M paste on the
aircraft. It is advised to install the flight controller close to the core and connect the servo
wires to the corresponding flight controller pin.
2.3.1 Power on and Calibrate the Aircraft
Each time the flight controller is powered on, the flight controller will calibrate with the green
led quickly flashing, which means gyro calibration is under process. Put the aircraft still on the
ground until DEE sounds from the motor heard. When the green led is always on means
calibration done.
Note It takes approximately 1 minute for flight controller to do self-check after powering on
until the DEE tone finishes and green led is always on.
2.3.2 Attitude Calibration
Flight controller Byme-A needs o calibrate the attitudes/level to ensure the balance status.
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com

It is advised to lift up the model head with a certain angle to ensure the calibration accuracy
and it will be recorded by flight controller once the attitude calibration is complete with success.
Pull both joysticks to outside corners as below and hold for more than 3 seconds. The green
led on flight controller Byme-A flashes once means the calibration completed.
2.3.3 Servo Phase
Make sure to switch to MANUAL MODE(eg. T8FB SWA-UP/DWN, SWB-DWN) to check servo
phases are correct before each flight. Below Mode 2 is explained as example.
2.3.3.1 Transmitter Phase
（1）Aileron phase
Toggle the aileron joystick to left, left aileron is lifted and right one is pressed; toggle the
joystick to right, left aileron is pressed and right one is lifted, meaning the aileron phase is
correct.

（2）Elevator phase
Toggle the elevator joystick downward, elevator servo(horizontal tail) is lifted; toggle the
joystick upward, elevator servo(horizontal tail) is pressed, meaning the elevator phase is
correct.
（3）Rudder Phase
Toggle the rudder joystick to left, rudder servo(vertical tail) turnsto left; toggle the joystick to
right, rudder servo(vertical tail) turns to right, meaning the rudder phase is correct.
（4）Throttle Phase
Toggle the throttle joystick to the bottom and the motor stays still. Gently push the throttle stick
upward, motor moves faster and faster, meaning throttle servo correct.
Note The servo phase of each channel for fixed wing should be always: CH1 AILE-NOR, CH2
ELEV-NOR, CH3 THRO-REV, CH4 RUDD-NOR.
If any of the phases on transmitter is reversed, it needs to be reset in the parameter setup
menu,
The standard transmitter of A560 RTF is T8FB. To calibrate the transmitter phase, connect the
transmitter to the android mobile/computer and setup the parameters with APP or software.

2.3.3.2 Flight Controller Phase
After checking transmitter phase , flight controller phase on A560 also needs to be checked as.
Note Transmitter phase should be checked before flight controller one. When checking flight
controller phase, flight mode should be set as STABILIZE MODE(eg. T8FB SWA-UP,
SWB-UP)..
（1）Aileron Phase on FC
Hold A560 with the aircraft body level. Lean/roll it to left, if left aileron is pressed and right one
is lifted; then lean/roll it to right, if left aileron is lifted and right one is pressed, meaning the
aileron phase on FC is correct.
（2）Elevator Phase on FC
Hold A560 with the aircraft body level. Lift up the aircraft head, the elevator servo(horizontal
tail) will be lifted. Pitch down the aircraft head, the elevator servo(horizontal tail) will be
pressed. Then the elevator phase on FC is correct.
（3）Rudder Phase on FC
Hold A560 with the aircraft body level. Turn it left, the rudder servo(vertical tail) will turn to left.
Turn it right, the rudder servo(vertical tail) will turn to right. Then the rudder phase on FC is
correct.
If flight controller phase is reversed, press the button at the top of flight controller Byme-A to
change servo phase. All flight controller phases can be reset except throttle phase. If throttle
resetting is necessary, please enter the transmitter parameter setup menu-servo phase.
Note Make sure attitude calibration is done before servo phase calibration. Because flight
controller will auto identify NOR/REV and modify gyro direction when doing attitude calibration.

2.4 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 specially for
3D fixed wing, is different from traditional manual mode. Working with gyro to assist
stabilization, Byme-A makes the flight much easier.
There are five flight modes: Vertical Mode, Stabilize Mode, Gyro Mode, Acro Mode, Manual
Mode.

Flight mode setup of other transmitter from RadioLink is the same. Channel 5 and channel 7
are for flight mode setup by default. First select the model type of fixed wing in the setting
menu, then set a three-way switch(Ch5) and a two-way switch(Ch7) in the auxiliary channel
menu. Five flight modes can be switched with this combination.
2.4.1 Vertical Mode
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.
Below is the picture illustration with Mode 2 as example:
When the aircraft is vertical, toggle the aileron joystick(Ch1) to control the aircraft moving left
or right.
When the aircraft is vertical, toggle the elevator joystick(Ch2) to control the aircraft moving
forward or backward.
Note If keep toggling this joystick upward, the aircraft will flight forward with a certain angle.
If the joystick on right is toggled to left, A560 flights to left horizontally.
If the joystick on right is toggled to right, A560 flights to right horizontally.
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
12
When the aircraft is vertical, toggle the rudder joystick(Ch4) to control the aircraft moving
(anti)clockwise.
If the joystick on right is toggled upward, A560 flights forward.
If the joystick on right is toggled downward, A560 flights backward.
If the joystick on left is toggled to left, A560 flights anticlockwise.
If the joystick on left is toggled to right, A560 flights clockwise.
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.radiolink.com
13
If toggle the throttle joystick(Ch3) upward, A560 rises vertically; toggle the throttle joystick
downward, A560 descends vertically.
2.4.2 Angle Mode
Different form manually control, Angle 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, A560 will level. The max inclination angle is 70° for rolling while that for pitching
is 45°.

If the throttle (joystick on left)is toggled upward, A560 accelerate. If toggled downward, A560
decelerate.
2.4.3 Rate 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 aircraft. That is, when rolling, pitching or rudder joystick is toggled,
A560 will rotate with the corresponding speed.
2.4.4 Horizon Mode
Combination of Angle Mode and Rate 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, aircraft will rotate to the corresponding directions.
2.4.5 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 landing then switch to level
flight(Stabilize Mode/Gyro Mode/Acro 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 aircraft will crash.
When at Vertical Mode, the joystick operation is same as that of multicopters.
When at Stabilize Mode/Gyro Mode/Acro Mode/Manual Mode, the joystick operation is
