User Manual For RadioLink Transmitter
Attention:
This switch is also
for gyro sensitivity
change.
Main features:
●Economic design to save OEM helicopter cost.
●Extremely low power consume, only 70mA current drain in the working condition.
●Stable control range : 500 meters ground.
●Easy Link technology will help you to synchronize the receiver and transmitter easy and fast.
●One combined IDLE-UP/GYRO switch design makes the 3D situation change more user-
friendly. Only 1 switch operation rather than normally 2 switches( Idle-up and gyro switches)
change movement while turning into 3D flying.
●Separated trim for each servo inside the LCD program(even for the CCPM setting)- you can
freely adjust the neutral position of any channel(such as aileron, elevator..) separately,
meanwhile the center position of all other channels won’t be changed.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Radiolink digital proportional R/C helicopter system. If this
is your first “computer” radio, rest assured that it is designed to make initial setup and
field-tuning of your helicopter easier and more accurate than would be if using a “non-
computer” radio. Although this is a beginner or sport system with the requirements of
those flyers in mind, in order to make the best use of your Radiolink T6EHP-E and to
operate it safely, you must carefully read all of the instructions .Suggestion: If, while
reading the instructions, you are unclear of some of the procedures or functions and
become “stuck,” continue to read on anyway. Often, the function or procedure will be
explained again later in a different way providing another perspective from which to
understand it. Another suggestion is to connect the battery, switch and servos to the
receiver
1 and actually operate the radio on your workbench as you make programming
changes. Then, you'll be able to see the effects of your programming inputs.
Transmitter: T6EHP-E
T6EHPE Transmitter with 6-model memory.
Transmitting on 2.4GHz band
Operating system: 2-stick, 6-channel system
Modulation: FHSS
Power supply: 9.6V Ni-Cd battery or 12V alkaline battery
Current drain: 70mA
Receiver: R6EH
R6F narrow band, 2.4GHz 6 channel receiver
Receiving on 2.4GHz
Power requirement: 4.8V-6V
Current drain: [email protected]
IMPORTANT!: Always turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver. When turning off the system,
always turn off the receiver first. The object is never to have the receiver on by itself. Otherwise, the
servos or control surfaces could be damaged, or in the case of electric-powered models, the motor
may unexpectedly turn on causing severe injury.
IMPORTANT!: Never collapse the transmitter antenna by pushing down from the top. If one of the
segments becomes momentarily stuck you may damage the antenna. Instead, collapse the antenna
from the bottom, drawing in one segment at a time.
Transmitter
The LCD on the face of the compact, ergonomically-designed case is easy to read and allows rapid
data input. The system also holds independent memories for six different models. The new,
adjustable-length control sticks provide an improved feel. Dual rate (D/R), Idle up, Throttle hold, and
Gyro sense can be operates by switch.

DESCRIPTIONS:
Throttle hold switch - This switch operates to hold the engine in the idling position and disengaged
it from the Throttle stick. It is commonly use to practice auto-rotation.
Aileron/Throttle control stick - Operates the servos connected to channel 1 (aileron) and channel
2 (throttle) in the receiver.
Trim levers (all) - Used to shift the neutral or center position of each servo.
NOTE: The throttle trim lever is intended for fine tuning the throttle servo when the engine is at idle.
Throttle trim does not affect the throttle servo when the throttle control stick is all the way up (so idle
r.p.m. can be adjusted without affecting throttle settings through the rest of the stick movement)
DATA INPUT Button - Used to change the values of the various functions displayed on the LCD
screen
Liquid - crystal display screen (LCD) - Displays programming modes and values entered.
MODE key - Used to scroll through different functions.
SELECT Button - Used to display the values for the current function.
Throttle/Rudder control stick - Operates the servos connected to channel 3 (throttle) and channel
4 (rudder) in the receiver.
2
Idle up(Gyro) switch - This switch operates to change the flight condition which is set the
throttle Curve and pitch curve of mid air maneuvers (rolls, loops, stall turns) and 3D flight.
When you change the Idle up switch , the gyro sense will be changed to Idle setting too.
So you don’t need to operate 2 switch (Idle up and Gyro sense switches ) while you want to
change to 3D flying situation.
Antenna - Radiates signals to the receiver. Never fly a model without fully extending the antenna or
you may create interference to other modelers and decrease operational signal range of the
transmitter. The antenna may be removed and replaced with another in case it is inadvertently
broken.
RADIO INSTALLATION
Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery.
Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors are oriented correctly
and “keys” into the corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in.
When unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead.
3
After the servos are installed, operate each servo over its full travel and check that the pushrods
and servo arms do not bind or contact each other. Also make sure the controls do not require
excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is
probably too much resistance in the control. Find and correct the problem.
Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result.
When you install the switch harness to the helicopter, please use switch cover. Generally sandwich
the frame by switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws. It might be different
installations on model by model. In that case, please follow the model instruction manual
.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cut the receiver antenna or mount it in the model folded back on itself.
Doing so will change its electrical length, possibly reducing the distance from the pilot that the
model can be controlled (“range”).
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. It is the most delicate radio component on-board
the model and should be protected from vibration, shock and temperature extremes. To protect the
receiver, wrap it in R/C foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. If appropriate, waterproof
the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and closing the open end
with a rubber band before wrapping it in foam. If moisture enters the receiver, intermittent operation
or a failure may result.
Wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag also protects it from fuel and exhaust residue which, in some
models, can work its way into the fuselage.

When the transmitter is initially turned on, the model memory number, model memory name,
modulation type and transmitter battery voltage are displayed on the LCD screen. When prompted
by the user, the functions and settings stored in the memory can also be read on the screen. The
user access the different functions using the MODE and SELECT buttons and changes the values
and settings using the DATA INPUT button.
Note: Feel free to explore by scrolling through the programs and viewing the displays by using the
MODE and SELECT buttons. The MODE and SELECT buttons only determine what will be
displayed on the screen and will not change any of the settings.
Only when using the DATA INPUT buttons will you be able to change any of the settings.
The T6HP stores model memories for six models. This means all the data (control throws, trims,
end points, etc.) for up to six different models can be stored in the transmitter and activated at any
time (depending upon which model you choose to fly that day). This eliminates the requirement for
reconfiguring the transmitter each time you decide to fly a different model with it! When the
transmitter is turned on the model number, model name, modulation and the transmitter voltage will
be indicated on the LCD screen. Before every flight BE CERTAIN that the correct model number for
the model you intend to fly appears on the screen. If the transmitter is not operating the correct
model, some (or all) of the controls could be reversed and the travels and trims will be wrong.
Flying a model with the wrong program will result in a crash, so always be certain the model number
and model name in the transmitter is correct. One way to ensure this is to write the corresponding
model number directly on the helicopter, or attach a list to the bottom or back of the transmitter.
In addition to the model number, the LCD screen also displays the
transmitter battery voltage. When the voltage goes below MDL 1 PPM
approximately 8.5 Volts the “battery” icon will flash and the low-
battery alarm will continuously beep until the transmitter is turned off. 1 10.6 V
You should never allow the transmitter voltage to become this low
while flying, but if it does, land immediately.
Note: When the transmitter voltage reads 8.9 Volts you will still have approximately ten minutes (or
less) before losing operational range, so this is the recommended absolute
minimum voltage. If the transmitter ever reaches 8.9 Volts,land as soon as safely possible. A more
reasonable margin of safety would be to quit flying for the day (or recharge the batteries) when the
transmitter battery.
The Mixer alert warning is displayed to alert you whenever you turn on
the transmitter with many of the mixing switches active. This warning will

To reset data:
1. Access the Model Select function in the programming mode (by
pressing the MODE and SELECT buttons simultaneously and
holding them down for one second). Use the DATA INPUT button
to select the model memory you wish to reset.
2. Once the desired model number is displayed on the screen,
press the SELECT button. A“REST” will appear on the screen.
3. Press DATA INPUT "+" or "-" for about 2 seconds to clear and

“CLR” blinks first, and then it stops blinking with a sound. Now the
model data is reset to the initial setting that is the default factory
value. The existing modulation and swashplate type settings are
not reset. If the power switch is turned off while reset is underway,
the data may not be reset.

CAUTION: Resetting the current model memory will permanently erase ALL programming
information for that model. The data cannot be recovered (unless you recorded it on a Model Data
Recording Sheet in the back of this manual). Do not reset the model unless you are certain you want
to clear-out that memory and start from scratch.
When actually setting up a model you should have the model in front of you with the power on so you
can actually see the effects of your programming inputs and measure the control throws.
The servo reversing function is used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input
from the transmitter (stick or switch). After using the reversing function, check all the controls on the
model to be certain they are operating in the correct direction and that you did not inadvertently
reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong servo (and not checking the
response of the controls before each flight) may be the most common cause of a crash!
To reverse a servo:
1. Enter the programming mode and use the MODE button to
access the REVR function.
2. Use the SELECT button to select the channel you wish to
reverse.

Note: Since changing the “end points” will also change the dual rates, the end points should be set
prior to setting the dual rates. If you set the dual rates first, and then go back and change the end
points, the dual rate throws will also change.
The control throws should be set up so that the “end points” are as near to 100% as possible.
If the EPA values must be set below 70% or above 120% to get the desired throw, you should
strongly consider changing the pushrod connections so the values can be set closer to 100%.

There are four trim levers (“trims”) on the front of the transmitter. Three of the trims are for adjusting
the neutral position of the aileron, elevator and rudder servos. The fourth trim is for setting the idle
r.p.m. of the engine when the throttle stick is all the way down. The intended use of the trims is to
make small servo adjustments, in flight, to get the model properly “trimmed” (so it will fly straight-
and-level). Because the trims are intended to be used while the model is in flight, you do not have to
“enter the program” to adjust the trims. Simply push or pull on the trim levers while flying and the
neutral position of the servos will shift. Keep in mind that you should start out with the control
surfaces centered when the servos are centered and the trims are “zeroed” (or near zero). THEN
you can adjust the trims once airborne.
Center the servos:
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver. Operate the controls to make sure the servos respond in the
correct direction. Use the reversing function to reverse any servos necessary.
2. Center the throttle control stick.
3. Place the servo arms on the servos so they are perpendicular to the pushrods, It is okay to cut
off any unused servo arms.
4. Connect the pushrods to the control surfaces. Adjust the length of the pushrods until the
control surfaces are centered when the servos are centered. While there’s small inaccuracy
of the servo which cause the unbalance of the control surface, you can used the related servo
trims to change the neutral position of each servo separately, not like other CCPM system, it’s
separated trim but not linkage trim like Futaba’s system. Which will be very convenient for
CCPM swashplate control surface setup.
Used to set pitch curve for normal flight. 5-point pitch curve is utilized to best match the blade
collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent load on the engine. Pitch curve can be adjust from
0-100% each point.
This normal pitch curve create basic curve for around hovering. Use this function together with the
normal throttle curve so that up/down control has a constant engine speed.

Used to set pitch curve for idle up flight. 5-point pitch curve is utilized to best match the blade
collective pitch to the consistent engine RPM when idle up is used. Pitch curve can be adjusted
from 0-100% each point.
The high side pitch curve should be set to not to over load the engine and keep consistent engine
RPM. Generally set less pitch than normal maximum pitch. The low side pitch curve is to set for
desired maneuver such as loops, rolls, and 3D flight.
To set the idle-up pitch curve:
1. Enter the programming mode and use the MODE button to access
the “I-PI” function. IPT PPM

Trainer function (student only)
The T6EHP-E trainer function lets you practice flying as student by connecting the T6EHP-E to the
instructor's transmitter. When two radios are connected with the trainer cord, they are both capable
of operating the model, but it's usually best for the instructor to hold the radio that has been setup for
the plane to be flown (as it is already programmed to fly the model). When the instructor holds the
trainer switch on his radio, the student will have control. When the instructor wishes to regain control
he simply releases the switch. Then he will have immediate, full control.
If you replace the receiver or transmitter for your Helicopter, you will need to re-establish a link
between the two units by synching them, which is a very straightforward procedure.
To synchronize you should do the following:
1. Remove the canopy so that you can access the receiver
2. Switch on the transmitter, ensuring that the helicopter is in Normal but not Idle up mode. and
then put the throttle control stick is at its lowest position
3. Connect the Li-Po battery to the helicopter and wait
until the LED on the receiver glows solid
4. Whilst holding the helicopter tightly, press and hold the
switch (see illustration) on the receiver for approximately 5
seconds until you here the servos in the helicopter twitch
this signifies that the helicopter and transmitter are now
synchronized and you can fly normally.
