Glossary of technical terms
Throttle curve
Only used for helicopters. The throttle curve of the PROFI TX has 7 points and
determines how much throttle is assigned to the various individual positions of
the collective pitch stick. The aim is a constant speed, i.e. the higher the
collective pitch, the more the throttle is advanced.
Throttle limiter
Only used for helicopters. Restricts (limits) the maximum possible throttle value.
This allows safer model setups. For normal flying, the limiter is set to maximum.
After start-up of the power system, the throttle limiter can be used to slowly
increase the speed of the main rotor.
Throttle-cut
While this switch is switched on, the throttle channel is maintained in the
position which you earlier selected during travel adjustment as point P1 for the
throttle servo. This enables you to "switch off" an I.C. engine, assuming that the
carburettor barrel is fully closed at this position.
Trainer mode
Safest method for beginners to get started in model sport; two transmitters are
inter-connected using a second M-Link radio link. An experienced modeller has
control over the model, and is able to transfer control functions to the student by
operating the trainer button ("TEACHER" button). Initially these will be individual
control functions, and later all the main control functions when the "student" has
gained sufficient skill. If individual control functions are transferred, the teacher
retains control over the remaining control functions. If he releases the
TEACHER button, the teacher resumes full control of the model—typically if a
dangerous situation develops. The teacher transmitter carries out all the data
processing. This means that the student transmitter simply needs to be
switched to "Student" mode. No further configuration or programming is
required. All the teacher transmitter needs from the student transmitter are
the pure stick signals.
Trimming
Adjustment of the model aircraft to fly straight and level when you leave the
sticks exactly at centre.
Variometer
Device in the model aircraft that indicates the climbing and descending rate
through audible signals.
