3. Next you'll put in the Slave channel, the one that is affected
by
motion of the master channel. Press the Cursor Right
key to get slave channel indicator SLV flashing on and off,
then
press the Data +Increase or -Decrease keys to move
the bottom arrow underneath the number of the desired slave
channel.
4. Now you'll input the mixing percentage, which tells how much
the
slave channel responds to the master channel. Press the
Cursor Right key to cause the percent (%) sign to the right of
the
large number to flash on and off. Note that you can set
the
percentage for the mixer on each side of the master
channel's
control's motion by moving the master channel's
control
back and forth. The motion of the master channel's
control
is also indicated by the R/D (= Right/Down) or L/U
(= Left/Up) indicator in the window.
5. Hold the master channel's control to one side, and then use
the
Data +Increase or -Decrease key to change the
percentage
for the mixer. Verify that you get the proper
motion
of the slave channel when you move the master.
If you don't get a response to the master movement,
check
that the mixer is turned on with its on-off switch.
Change the percentage if the amount of travel is incorrect.
If
you want to set the percentage to ZERO, press the
Active/Inhibit (Clear) key.
6. Move the master control to the other side of its travel and
then
repeat the actions in the previous step to set the
amount
of mixing on the other side. Use the Data +Increase
or -Decrease key to change the percentage for the mixer
until
you get the response you want for the second side.
[ Knife-Edge Example: for a model that tucks during knife-edge
flight,
set up a mixer with Master = 4 (Rudder), and Slave = 2
(elevator). You want to get up elevator mixed in for either
direction
of full rudder. Therefore, you'll set plus mixing on one
side
of the rudder stick, and minus mixing on the other side.
Normally
only 5% to 10% mixing is needed to solve this problem.
S/W SEL - Switch Selection For Auxiliary Functions
Your Optic system allows you to customize your radio and
choose
what switches are used to turn on the following
functions:
A->R, E->F, CAMB, CROW, LAND, PMX1, and
PMX2. Note that each of these functions may be chosen to be
turned
on by flipping a switch, or to be on all the time.
Choosing The On-Of
f
Switch For Certain Radio Functions
1. Call up the Switch Select screen by repeatedly pressing one
of
the Edit Up Down keys until the highlighted words S/W
SEL appear. The window may appear with any of the
following
displayed: A->R, E->F, CAMB, CROW, LAND,
PMX1, and PMX2.
2. Use the Data +Increase or -Decrease keys to select the
desired
function.
3. Use the Left Right Cursor keys to select from the following
on-off
possibilities for the selected function
a. On indicates the function is ALWAYS on.
b. 1 represents Switch SW-1, the "ELEV RUDD D/R"
switch. On is down .
c. 2 represents Switch SW-2, the "GEAR AUX" switch.
On
is down .
d. 3 represents Switch SW-3, the "AIL D/R" switch.
On
is down .
e. 4 represents Switch SW-4, the "FLT MODE" switch.
The
FLT MODE switch has three positions to
select from:
i. NOR =onat forward position
ii.
ST1 =onat middle position
iii.
ST2 =onat aft position
4. Repeat Steps 2-3 for any additional functions you wish to set.
AILV - Ailevator Function
Your Optic system contains special programming to allow you
to
fly a model with two independent elevator servos which
respond
together to the elevator stick, and in opposite
directions
to the aileron stick. This combination of aileron and
elevator
results in the name "ailevator" and allows you to do
torque
rolls with 3-D aircraft! Note that the AILV function is on
all
the time once it is activated.
Setting Up the Ailevator Function
1. This function requires two elevator servos, one for each side.
Plug
the right elevator servo into channel 2, and the second
elevator
servo into channel 5. If you need retracts, you will
have
to use the output from channel 6.
2. Call up the mixer screen by repeatedly pressing the Edit Up
or Down key until the AILV window appears. The default is
for
the function to be inhibited. To activate, press the CLEAR
key. This will cause the AILV INH display to change to AILV
ON . AILV is not a switch able function, it is either ON or
OFF .
