However, if you erase a model memory which is not
currently active, after the procedure you will see the
memory marked as " empty " under "Model Se-
lect".
• All the transmitter's functions are barred, and the
transmitter does not broadcast a signal, until you
confi rm the model type you have selected. If you
switch the transmitter off before you set the model
type, the screen will automatically switch to the Mod-
el Type Select display when turned on again. You
must always defi ne a model type!
• If the warning

appears on the screen, move the throttle stick back in
the direction of idle.
This warning only appears in accordance with the
settings you have entered in the "motor on C1" or
"pitch min." section of the »base sett.« menu, as
described on pages 46 and 50. If you are setting up
a non-powered fi xed-wing model, enter "no" or "no
/ inv" at this point; this disables the throttle warning
message, and makes available the "Brake
mixers in the »wing mixer« menu, which would
otherwise be suppressed.
• If the transmitter's model memories are already occu-
pied, then a pictogram of the selected model type ap-
pears in the appropriate model memory, followed by
a blank line, or the model's name if a name has been
entered in the »base sett.« menu (pages 46 and 50).
• If the battery voltage is too low, the software prevents

you switching model memories in the interests of
safety. In this case the screen displays this message:
n o t p ossible now

Basically there are now four different methods of assign-
ing the four control functions aileron, elevator, rudder
and throttle / airbrakes (fi xed-wing model), and roll,
pitch-axis, tail rotor and throttle / collective pitch (model
helicopter) to the two primary dual-axis sticks. Which of
these options is adopted depends on the personal pref-
erence of the individual model fl yer. This function is set
in the "stick mode" line for the currently active model
memory in the »base sett.« menu (page 46 or 50):
model name
stick mode
motor on C1
tail type
As mentioned earlier, for maximum fl exibility the
transmitter controls 5 ... 8 are not assigned to trans-
mitter controls by default, and can be assigned to any
channels you like; this also helps to avoid accidental

mishand ling.
This means that in the default state of the equipment
only those servos connected to receiver outputs 1
... 4 can be controlled by the two dual-axis sticks,
whereas servos connected to sockets 5 ... max. 8
remain steadfastly at their centre position. If you set
up a new model helicopter, servo 6 also responds to the
controls. In both model types this situation only changes
once you have carried out the appropriate assignments
in the »contr set.« menu.
You will fi nd a description of the basic steps for program-
ming a fi xed-wing model aircraft in the Programming
Examples section starting on page 96; for model heli-
copters the equivalent section starts on page 116.
In contrast, the following menu descriptions are ar-
ranged in the order that they are listed in the individual
menus in the multi-function list.
