Using Fl Ight Phases Example 1 - GRAUPNER mx-20 Hott Programming Manual

Use of fl ight phases
Up to seven different fl ight phases (fl ight statuses)
can be programmed with settings independent of one
another within one of the model memories.
Each of these fl ight phases can be called with a switch
or a switch combination. This makes it possible to switch
between different settings for the various fl ight statuses,
such as "Normal", "Thermal", "Speed", "Distance", etc.,
simply and conveniently. However, with the fl ight phase
programming you can also make slight modifi cations,
e. g. of mixers, to try out by switching during the fl ight in
order to fi nd the optimal settings for each model more
easily.
Before you begin with the actual programming of
fl ight phases, you should consider whether the digital
trimming of transverse, altitude and side should have
be "global" – in other words, the same for all fl ight
phases – or per "Phase" – in other words, each fl ight
phase is individually variable.
If you decide in favor of a phase-specifi c trimming of the
elevator, for example, switch the menu ...
"Joystick setting" (page 92)
... and change the standard "global" default accordingly.
The same applies for the number
of trimming steps in the column "St":
Ch.1 GL 4 0.0s
Aile GL 4 0.0s
Elev PH 4 0.0s
Rudd GL 4 0.0s

The control of the E-drive takes place independently of
the C1 joystick with one of the two proportional rotary
controls CTRL 7 or 8 or with one of the two three-stage
switches CTRL 9 or 10. The motor control is connected
to receiver Output 9 according to the description
beginning on page 244 and Examples 1 and two which
serve as the basis of this continuation. In the "Model
type" menu, therefore, "None" was selected in the
"Motor to C1" line, which has the consequence, among
other things , that the "Motor" column in the "Phase
setting" menu is hidden and the "Brake settings"
submenu of the "Wing mixers" menu is available
without limitation.

Initially, one or multiple fl ight phases are provided with
a specifi c identifi cation ("Name") for the respective
fl ight status. This identifi cation has no infl uence on the
programming of the transmitter; it only serves for an
improved differentiation of the individual fl ight phases
and is shown later in all fl ight-phase dependent menus
and in the base screen.
The selection of the respective line, a name and the
setting of the switching time take place, as "usual", by
pressing the corresponding key(s) of the two four-way
touch pads.
Notice:
With the exception of Phase 1, which should always
be assigned with the name "Normal" since it is
always active, if the fl ight phases are deactivated, it is
completely irrelevant which name is assigned to which
phase!
In everyday use by a model pilot, three to a maximum of
four fl ight phases are usually completely suffi cient:
• "Start" with the climb settings
• "Thermal" for "Flying high",
• "Normal" for normal conditions and
• "Speed" for high gear.
