Within one model memory, the mc-32 HoTT lets
you program up to 7 discrete groups of settings for
various conditions met during the flight. These are in
addition to the auto-rotation flight phase that can be
set up in the »Basic settings, model« menu. The
grouped settings are typically termed "flight phases"
and are programmed in appropriate menus.
Setting up ight phases
When you set up flight phases for helicopter models,
you start with this menu. You assign individual phases
a name and also assign a period of time for a (soft)
transition into each phase. Note that – depending on
your model and your settings – switch times much
longer than the default 0.1 s have proven useful.

Setting up flight phases
You can also set up several phases with names and
transition times even if you don't currently have a
use for them, since the decision as to which of the
"occupied" phases you activate is made only on the
»Phase assignment« menu (page 160) when setting
"phase switches".
The "Status" column, second from the left, shows which
one of the phases 1 … 7, including the autorotation
phase this is 8, has already been assigned to a switch,
plus the current status of that switch:

"Name" column
The first line, and thus the first flight phase, is re-
served for autorotation flight, see »Basic settings,
model« menu (page 100). Accordingly, the prede-
fined name cannot be changed.
Use the selection keys to move to the line "Phase 1".
Briefly tap on the centre SET key of the right touch
pad then assign the needed phase (phase 1 up to
maximum of 7 phases) by picking the respective
name from the selection list with the selection keys of
the left or right touch pad. In addition to this standard
pool of names, the »General basic settings« menu,
page 280, permits up to 10 names of personal prefer-
ence to be defined.
The order in which phases 1 to max. 7 are assigned is
entirely irrelevant and you can leave gaps as you wish.
Nonetheless, you should always start with "Phase 1",
the "Normal phase", which is always active if …
• … no phase switch is set in the »Phase assign-
ment« menu or if
• no phase has been assigned to specific combina-
tions of switches.
The definition of the phase name "Normal" could
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1".
The names themselves have absolutely no technical
significance for programming; their only purpose is to
help you to identify which phase is active at any time
and are thus displayed in all flight phase-dependent
menus and also on the transmitter's basic display.
"ph. Tim." column
In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen
display, other timers are also available whose settings
are configured in the »Flight phase timers« menu,
page 156.
Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2
The flight phase timers "Clk 1 … 3" plus "Time1" and
"Time2" run only in the flight phase to which they
have been assigned in this menu. During other flight
phases they are stopped (and hidden) and the as-
signed stop/start switch then has no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run
through changes of phase, however, although it can
be stopped during any flight phase via the centre
ESC key of the left touch pad.
While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap"
and a switch, the two timers "Time1" and "Time2"
have the following meaning:
• Time1
This timer will only measure time during which the
switch or control switch assigned in the "Lap time/
Tim tab" line of the »Flight phase timers« menu,
page 168, is "closed". The frequency at which the
switch is activated is shown on the basic display.
This counter field is highlighted as soon as the
switch for the "Time1" timer is "opened", i. e. the
timer is stopped:
