First steps in programming a new model

Example: non-powered fi xed-wing model aircraft
When programming a new model you should start with
the ...
"select model"
..., sub-menu in the »mod.mem.« menu, where you
select a vacant memory and confi rm your choice by
pressing the ENTER button or the rotary cylinder.

Once you have selected a free model memory, you are
immediately requested to select the type of model to be
programmed:

( e mpty mo d me m )
Since in this example we are setting up a fi xed-wing
model, we simply confi rm the fi xed-wing model symbol
with ENTER or a brief press on the rotary cylinder. The
screen now reverts to the basic display.
Notes:
• Naturally you can also use the pre-defi ned model
memory 01 for programming your fi rst model; this is
the "fi xed-wing model" type by default.
• Once you have called up the "Model select" option it
is not possible to interrupt the process, i. e. you must
choose one or other model type. However, if you
make a mistake you can always correct it simply by

erasing the model memory.
• If the battery voltage is too low, you will not be able
to change model memories for safety reasons. The
(page 44)
screen then displays an appropriate message:

Now that you have overcome this fi rst hurdle, you can
start programming the actual transmitter settings to suit
the model in the ...

by selecting the symbol in order to move to the
character table:

You should also check the settings for "Stick mode" and
"motor on C1" and change them if necessary:
• "no":
The brake system is "retracted" at the forward posi-
tion of the throttle / brake stick; in the »wing mixer«
menu the "Brake

As mentioned previously, selecting "motor" or "no motor"
also affects the range of mixers available in the »wing
mixer« menu. For this reason we shall initially consider
"no" (no motor) in the following programming example.

"no/inv":

menu the "Brake N.N.*" mixers are activated.
The warning message "Throttle too high" – see page
18 or 46 ... 47 – is disabled.
"Throttle min. fr(ont) or re(ar)":
Ch 1 trim works on idle range (front or rear) only. If
the throttle stick is in the "full-throttle" direction when
you switch the transmitter on, you will be warned of
this with the message "Throttle too high".
The "Brake N.N.*" mixers in the »wing mixer«
menu are disabled.
