Glossary of technical terms
Mode
Defines the assignment of the main control functions Aileron, Elevator,
and Rudder to the stick units.
Model template
Template for creating new models; thanks to model templates, new models
can be created more easily and quickly since the basic configuration is more
or less completed by selecting the template. Model templates also contain
the basic configuration for mixers, controls, servos and flight phases.
Range check
Is used to check the proper operation of the radio link. The transmitter power
is reduced to approx. 1% so that the check can be performed at a shorter
distance.
Ratchet
Ratchet system in which a mechanism assumes and holds a specific position.
Servo
Positioning device; converts a default setting that is provided as an electrical
signal into a physical position.
Servo calibration
Servo curve
Used to define the maximum control surface travels, set the neutral position,
and set the control surface travels of servos with the same function to the
same value. Also for trimming servos on control surface pairs to synchronous
operation.
Snap flap
Switchable elevator mixer to the camber-changing flaps (flaps) or the ailerons.
Spoiler
Used for glide path control or for "braking" the model.
Standard trim
Shifts the entire setting range of the stick in parallel up and down (by the trim
value). To allow this shift without limiting the control signal, the control signal
must be reduced by the maximum trim value possible. Thus, unlike centre trim,
the servo travel cannot be fully used.
Switch
Controls that switch functions on or off or toggle between functions; multiple
menus are available for assigning switches to functions. Standard functions
(D/R, Timer, etc.) are compiled in a list.
