Teacher/pupil
Connecting two transmitters for trainer mode with a trainer lead
The mc-32 HoTT transmitter is equipped stand-
ard – as viewed from the front, under the left front
flap – with a DSC socket. This is not only usable for
connecting flight simulators – as described on page
24 – but also to integrate the transmitter into a cable-
coupled teacher/pupil system.
To accommodate the settings necessary for this,
scroll with the selection keys on the left or right touch
pad to the »Teacher/pupil« menu option in the Multi-
function menu:
Phase trim
Non-delayed chan
Timers (general)
Fl. phase timers
Wing mixers
Free mixers
MIX active/phase MIX-only channel
Dual mixer
Fail-safe adjust
Teacher / pupil Tx. output swap
Non-delayed chan Timers (general)
Fl. phase timers
Helicopter mixer
Free mixers
MIX active/phase
MIX-only channel Dual mixer
Swashplate mixer Fail-safe adjust
Teacher / pupil Tx. output swap
Briefly tap the centre SET key of the right touch pad
to open this menu option:

Note:
The screen image shown above shows the
menu in its initial state: No transmitter
controls have been released by the pupil ( )
and no switch is assigned ("SW: ---" bottom left in the
screen image).
When assigning control functions, the usual conven-
tions must be observed:
Channel Function
1 Motor throttle/collective pitch
2 Aileron/roll
3 Elevator/pitch-axis
4 Rudder/tail rotor
Teacher-pupil settings
Up to twelve function inputs (see "Term definitions" on
page 54) of the teacher transmitter "T" can be indi-
vidually or in any combination transferred to the pupil
transmitter "P".
The lower display line, designated with "T", therefore
indicates the function inputs with which control func-
tions 1 … 4 (stick functions for fixed-wing and heli-
copter models) are permanently connected as well
as inputs 5 … 12, which can be freely assigned in the
»Control adjust« menu.
Note:
Just which controls are assigned to any
inputs turned over to the pupil is basically of
no consequence. However, their assignment
in the »Control adjust« menu is possible only
when the trainer mode connection is inactive.
Use the  selection keys of the left or right touch
pad to select the function inputs 1 through 12 for
transfer to the pupil () then briefly tap centre SET
key of the right touch pad for each switch to be
switched between "T(eacher)" (
) and "P(upil)" ( ):

To be able to carry out the transfer, you must then
assign a trainer mode switch on the left of the display.
Do this by placing the marker just to the right of the
“SW” at the bottom left of the screen display by using
the selection keys of the left or right touch pad then
assign a switch as described in the section "Assign-
ing transmitter controls, switches and control switch-
es" on page 60.
Preferably you should utilize one of the two standard
momentary switches on the switchboard to allow a
return of control to the teacher transmitter at any time.

Since at this early stage of programming a trainer
system it is unlikely that an operational pupil transmit-
ter is connected to the teacher transmitter, the trans-
mitter responds immediately to the switches closed
during the switch assignment process with appropri-
ate visual and audible warning notices. You should
therefore re-open the switch you have just assigned:
