Programming examples - Using ight phases
Using ight phases
Up to 8 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 pos-
sible to program different settings for various flight
states, such as «Normal», «Thermal», «Speed»,
«Distance», etc., then make in-flight changeovers in
a most convenient manner. However, with the flight
phase programming you can also make slight modifi-
cations, e. g. of mixers, to try out by switching during
the flight in order to find the optimal settings for each
model more easily.
Before actual programming of flight phases can be-
gin, consideration should be given to whether the
digital trimming of transverse, altitude and side should
be "GL(obal)" – in other words, applicable to all flight
phases – or per "PH(ase)" – in other words, each flight
phase individually variable.
If you decide in favor of a phase-specific trimming of
the elevator, for example, switch the menu …
»Stick mode« (page 114)
… and change the standard "global" default accordingly.
The same applies for the number of trimming steps in
the "Tr. step" column:

Control of the electric motor is accomplished, in-
dependent of the C1 stick, with one of the two side
proportional rotary controls or one of the two stand-
ard 3-way switches mounted into the switch panels.
The motor's speed control is connected to receiver
output 8 as described on page 296 and continued in
Examples 1 and 2. This is why "none" was selected
for the "Motor on C1" line in the »Model type« menu
(page 104). This not only causes the column "Mo-
tor" in the »Phase settings« (page 154) 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 (page 185).

Initially, one or more multiple flight phases are pro-
vided with a specific identification (“Name”) for the
respective flight status. This identification has no influ-
ence 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 touch pads.

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) …
