der functions. These functions can also be assigned to the outputs more than
once. For instance, if you are setting up a model with three aileron servos in each
wing, then you will nd three instances of Right aileron and Left aileron.
Gyro channels not assigned through the Setup Assistant are designated Ai-
le-ABC, Elev-ABC and Rudd-ABC.
- Sequencer
This function type contains four outputs for each of the door sequencer func-
tions. As in the case of the gyro, the sequencer outputs have general designa-
tions if the Assistant has not yet been completed - for example, Sequ-1. Once
the Sequencer Assistant has been used, they are assigned specic names such
as Door F (front) or Door RR (rear right).
• Function
At the Function point you can use buttons I and II to choose the function you
wish to assign to the output. Various options are available here, depending on the
function type you have selected.
• Hold/Fail:
This is where you set the Failsafe response for the selected output. By default, all
outputs are set to Hold mode. However, it is really essential to set Failsafe (FS) on
throttle, so that the power system is throttled back or cut completely should the
signal be lost. In many countries this is a legal requirement in any case.
If you set an output to Failsafe, all current positions are adopted from the trans-
mitter when you leave the menu point. This means: you should move all channels
to the desired position at the transmitter before you set an output to Failsafe.
The usual way to check the setting is to move the throttle channel to the half-way
point, then switch the transmitter off: the throttle servo must now immediately
move to the Idle position.
If you are using a PowerBox radio system, the Failsafe settings are adopted from
the transmitter; this overwrites any Failsafe settings which you select at the
PowerBox Mercury SR2.
