- Page 6 Symbols explication Always follow the information marked with the CAUTION or WARN- ING symbol. The signal word WARNING indicates the potential for serious injury, the signal word CAUTION indicates possibility of lighter injuries. The signal words note and caution indicate potential damages to objects.
- Page 7 Only use the components and spare parts that we recom- mend. Always use matching, original Graupner plug-in con- nections of the same design and material. Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When disconnecting the plug-in connections, do not pull the cables.
- Page 8 (-) is brown, the posi- tive (+) red and the signal orange. The servo sockets of Graupner HoTT 2.4 receivers are numbered sequentially. The socket for channel 6 can also be programmed to deliver a (digital) sum signal (see following section).

batteries must be of the same nominal voltage and capacity. Never connect different battery types or batteries with strongly different charges since this can cause an effect similar to a short circuit. In such cases for safety reasons, insert voltage stabiliz- ing elements such as PRX-5A (No. -

Cycle time (PERIOD) If your system is used exclusively with digital servos, you can set Setting necessary when servos are installed for additional a cycle time (frame rate) of 10 ms. If your system includes some functions or uses exclusively analogue servos, you should always select 20 ms, as many analogue servos cannot process the higher frame rate and may respond by "jittering"... -
Page 11: Initialization Of The Gyro
Program always the motors stop switch on the transmitter. (See Program motor-off switch! transmitter manual) This prevents accidental starting of motors, thus reducing the risk of injury. In Acro 3D Mode: In addition to the motors stop switch you need Mixer motors stop with channel 5 to program a mixer to be able to switch the motors off in 3D Acro mode too. - Page 12 Connection scheme of different type of copter Tri L Tri R R+L= Servo direction R+L= Servo direction Servo 4= Yaw Servo 4= Yaw Quadro X Quadro + Hexa V Hexa I Hexa-rotor Y Hexa-rotor IY Octo-rotor I Octo-rotor V Octo-rotor X 12 - 24 GR-18_3D_jh_V1...

Optional: If the motor off area is not desired in Attitude mode Optional mixer for reduction of then you can reduce the lower servo travel to -70%. Thus the throttle curve in attitude mode reduction has no effect on the rate mode, program the reduc- MIX 2 tion through a switchable free mixers. - Page 16 Now do the same for nick: on the transmitter, briefly set the nick command so that it is fully forward. Roll the copter more than 45 degrees forwards; the axis is displayed, the field is no longer highlighted and identification of this axis is complete. Finally complete the procedure for yaw: on the transmitter, briefly set the yaw command fully to the right.
- Page 17 Copters the value can be 100. If, because of its gravity centre, the Copter is more agile on the Roll axis than on the Nick axis, then you can change here the roll factor. In the Graupner ALPHA RACE 250 Q this value is set about 65%.

Multicopter Yaw settings Yaw P - Factor Multicopter Yaw<v> Default setting: +45 >Yaw P Yaw I The P factor is responsible for the harder snap to yaw. Higher Yaw D values result in a faster stop. At too high P-values the copter starts to “swing”. - Page 19 No. 7168.6A or 7168.S, which are available separately. The programs and files required can be found in the Download area for the corresponding products at www.graupner.de. Connect the adapter lead to the USB interface No. 7168.6. The connectors are reverse polarity protected: note the small cham- fers on the sides.
