Fig. 9.1.1.: Front face of transmitter
(Switches K and P retro-fitted; not included as standard.)
The front face of the transmitter features the following
elements:

Two extremely accurate, ballraced stick units for
controlling the four primary axes. Stick ratchet for
throttle / spoiler can be activated right or left. Both
stick units can be swivelled to suit the pilot's ergo-
nomic preferences ( 9.4.7.). The stick tops rotate
and are infinitely variable in length; various types of
stick top are available.

Two permanently installed proportional controls
(sliders "E" and "F") with centre detent; available for
use with freely assignable channel functions and / or
switched functions.

Two cruciform trim groups below the stick units
for digital trimming of the primary control axes. They
consist of pairs of buttons for left / right and up / down.

Audible sounder (piezo beeper).

When the transmitter is switched on, the RF sta-
tus indicator / LED (red LED) indicates whether an
RF (Radio Frequency) signal is being transmitted:
LED glows constantly
 no RF transmission
LED flashes every two seconds
 RF being transmitted
The LED is controlled by the current drain of the RF
module. If the RF module is not drawing the corres-
ponding current, or is not installed, the constantly
glowing LED warns you that an RF signal is not being
transmitted.

Keypad consisting of eleven buttons in two rows.
The six buttons in the top row provide fast, direct ac-
cess to the six main menus (direct menu access but-
tons). The five buttons in the second row are used for
programming the transmitter.
With the exception of the "ENTER" button, all the but-
tons have a dual function for text input. Text is entered
in a similar way to mobile telephones ( 11.1.1.c.).

OFF / ON switch ("O" / "1").


The screen is a modern, UV-stable, non-reflective
graphic LCD unit (132 x 64 dots) featuring variable
contrast ( 14.1.4.). The screen can be hinged
through around 40° to optimise the viewing angle.

Two 3-D digi-adjusters are used for program-
9
ming and set-up tasks. They are fitted as standard,
and are permanently installed. For programming, both
adjusters work in parallel with the "ENTER" button and
the "" (UP) / "" (DOWN) buttons. When using the
1
transmitter it is possible to allocate many different set-
2
tings / parameters to the 3-D digi-adjusters, enabling
the pilot to adjust the settings quickly and easily while
3
the model is in the air ( 20.1.).
4

Neckstrap lug for attaching a support strap (e.g.
5
# 8 5161 or # 8 5646).
All the remaining control elements ...
... (switches / buttons "G" to "O", apart from installa-
tion wells "K" and "P" ( 20.6.6.)), are installed as
standard in easily accessible locations. They cannot
be altered or interchanged.
The switch and button designations are neutral ("G",
"H", "I", ... "O", "P") and are only intended for identifi-
cation purposes, as they can be assigned to any
channel and / or switched function (transmitter control
or switch) ( 14.3.).
