Function sequence, assigning transmitter controls
The transmitter automatically allocates the appropriate function
sequence and transmitter control assignment when you select
the model and type.
Important: if you change the function sequence, any existing
AFR curves will be erased. For this reason you should always
select the channel sequence first, and only then select the
transmitter control settings.
TIP: if it should prove necessary to interchange functions, we
recommend that you initially select the functions to be moved,
then ‘park’ them on a free channel before reconfiguring the
model in the correct sequence.
• Select FUNCTION in the Base menu.
• Re-configure the function sequence if necessary.
• Now assign the transmitter controls and trim controls, and
determine whether they are to affect all flight modes (Global)
or only one flight mode (Separate).
• Select SERVO REVERSE in the Base menu.
• Set the direction of servo rotation: Normal / Reverse.
• Important: it is essential to set the correct servo directions
before you adjust the servo centre offset values.
• Select SERVO CENTRE in the Base menu.
• Adjust the servo centre settings if necessary.
• Select END-POINT ATV in the Base menu.
Adjust the servo travels in such a way that the maximum
mechanical travel is available, but without the servos binding
or being stalled.
• In the interests of safety, we recommend that you invoke the
Limit function to restrict maximum travel, so that mixed func-
tions do not exceed the set travel.
• Adjust the servo transit speed if necessary.
• Select FAILSAFE in the Base menu.
• Enter your preferred settings for Fail-Safe and Hold mode,
plus Battery Fail-Safe.
Power models: fail-safe is automatically set on the throttle
channel; check the settings and adjust them if necessary.
• Select MOTOR CUT in the Base menu.
•
Assign a switch, and set the ‘motor stopped’ position in
order to be able to cut the motor (if present) reliably.
• Select TRIM DISPLAY in the Base menu.
• Set the trim increment size (STEP) for the individual rotary
trims.
• Select TRANSMITTER CONTROL AFR in the MODEL menu.
• Adjust the travels and curves for the individual transmitter
controls to suit the requirements of the model.
• Select DUAL RATE in the MODEL menu.
• If required, set up a second, switchable curve or travel for
individual transmitter controls.
• Select FLIGHT MODE in the MODEL menu.
• Activate and set up additional flight modes if necessary.
• If you wish to use multiple flight modes with different settings
or assignments, you must ensure that the SEPARATE func-
tion is selected.
• In the MODEL menu, activate and adjust the individual
model-specific mixer functions, and configure the switches
and transmitter controls appropriately.
