Example 3
Using the three-position switch SW 6/7
This variant implements a three-stage solution for swit-
ching an electric motor on and off, and results in an “ab-
rupt “ motor start-up … unless the speed controller you
are using features what is known as a “soft start” func-
tion.
At the receiving end you need a suitable speed control-
ler.
First check which receiver socket (5 or higher) is avai-
lable for you to connect your speed controller. If you
have assigned two aileron servos in the »Base set-
tings« menu, and if you have not connected any other
auxiliary function, then this would be channel 6; if your
model features two aileron servos and two fl ap servos,
then channel 8 would be available for connecting the
speed controller; the latter option is the one we will use
in this example.
Move to the menu …
»Control settings« (page 50)
Hold the SELECT button pressed in, and use the right-
hand rocker button to select the desired input. Press SE-
LECT again to activate “Switch / transmitter control assi-
gnment”. Now move the switch SW 6/7. The highlighted
fi eld now shows “Transmitter control 8”.
In the third column you can adjust servo travel to suit the
speed controller you are using; alternatively you could
use the “Servo travel” column in the menu …

The last stage is to check the settings, so move to the
basic display and then on to »Servo display«. In the
“OFF” position of the switch, the control channel you
have selected – in our example this is channel “8” –
should be at -100%, and at the “full-throttle” setting at
+100%.

The last stage is to check the settings, so move to the
basic display and then on to »Servo display«. In the
(upper) “OFF” position of the three-position switch the
control channel you have selected – in our example this
is channel “8” – should be at -100%. If you now move
the switch to the centre position, the bar should be in the
middle, and at the (lower) “full-throttle” setting it should
be at +100%.
