… continuing with the previous programming of
an electric glider with 2 aileron servos.

Control of the electric motor is accomplished, inde-
pendent of the C1 stick, with one of the two side
proportional rotary controls or one of the two standard
3-way switches mounted into the switch panels. The
motor’s speed control is connected to receiver output 8
as described on page 289 and continued in Examples
1 and 2. This is why “none” was selected for the “Mo-
tor on C1” line in the »Model type« menu. This not only
causes the column “Motor” in the »Phase settings«
menu to be unavailable but also allows all options to be
available without restriction in the “Brake settings” sub-
menu of the »Wing mixers« menu.

»Phase settings« (page 148)
Initially, one or more multiple flight phases are provided
with a specific identification (“Name”) for the respective
flight status. This identification has no influence on the
programming of the transmitter; it only serves for an
improved differentiation of the individual flight phases
and is shown later in all flight-phase dependent menus
and in the base screen.
The selection of the respective line, a name and the
setting of the switchover time is done in the “usual”
manner, with a tap on the appropriate key(s) of the two
four-way buttons.

Note:
With the exception of Phase 1, which should
always be assigned with the name “Normal”
since it is always active, if the ight phases
are deactivated, it is completely irrelevant which
name is assigned to which phase!
In everyday use by a model pilot, three to a maximum
of four flight phases are usually completely sufficient:
• “Start” with the climb settings
• “Thermal” for “Flying high”,
• “Normal” for normal conditions and
• “Speed” for high gear.
In the “Sw.time” column (switching time).
a “blend-in” time can be established for the time in
which a changeover from any other flight phase into
Up to 7 different flight phases (flight conditions) can be
programmed with settings independent of one another
within each the model memory.
Each of these flight phases can be called with a switch
or a switch combination. This makes it possible to pro-
gram different settings for various flight states, such as
«Normal», «Thermal», «Speed», «Distance», etc., then
make in-flight changeovers in a most convenient man-
ner. However, with the flight phase programming you
can also make slight modifications, e. g. of mixers, to
try out by switching during the flight in order to find the
optimal settings for each model more easily.
However, as owner of an
mc-20 HoTT you really
should think about the use of flight phases even before
you start the actual programming procedure, and con-
sider whether you wish to be able to adjust the digital
trims for aileron, elevator and rudder separately in each
flight phase – this is the default “PH(ase)” setting – or
whether you want them to take effect in all flight phas-
es – the alternative “GL(obal)” setting.
If you decide in favour of a phase-specific trimming of
the rudder, for example, switch the menu …
»Stick mode« (page 108)
… and change the standard “GL(obal)” default accord-
ingly:
