The Newest Generation of Remote Control Technology
The technical advances across the entire spectrum of
model building is an ever-present challenge to design
engineers. This is why the introduction of new trans-
mission technology in the 2.4 GHz band represents a
new milestone.
The HoTT-System (Hopping Telemetry Transmission)
developed by Graupner is a synthesis of know-how,
engineering and testing done around the world by
professional pilots.
Established Graupner HoTT techniques theoreti-
cally permit over 200 models to be operated at the
same time. However, because of the interspersed
radio-frequency utilization permitted by certifi cation
for the 2.4 GHz ISM band, this number is signifi cantly
lower in practical application. Nevertheless, in general
more models can be operated simultaneously in the
2.4 GHz band than would be the case in conventional
35 or 40 MHz frequency bands. The real limiting fac-
tor is – as often before – is still likely to be the size of
available operating space (i. e. airspace for aircraft).
Alone the fact that it is no longer necessary to coor-
dinate transmitting frequencies with other pilots in the
vicinity (which is sometimes quite diffi cult in broken
landscapes, such as on hillside slopes) represents an
enormous boost for remote control operating security.
Bidirectional communication between transmitter
and receiver, by way of a return channel built into
the receiver, permits convenient access to data and
programming in the HoTT receiver. For example, this
makes it possible to swap receiver outputs or to divide
up control functions among multiple servos (channel
mapping). Servo travel and servo rotation directions
in the receiver can also be matched to one another
with these facilities. Telemetry data, like VARIO and
GPS data, can be called up from optionally available
modules.
Based on the mc-24 Graupner/JR computerized
remote control system, the mc-32
control system has been especially developed for ex-

be readily operated with the
regardless of whether the model is a winged aircraft,
helicopter, ship or land vehicle.
Complex mixed-control functions of guiding surfaces
are often necessary for winged aircraft (rudder, eleva-
tors) and helicopter models (swashplate). Thanks to
modern computer technology, very diverse model
requirements can be programmed in the simplest
conceivable manner with touch-sensitive keys (CAP
Touch). Simply select the given model type from the
mc-32 HoTT program and its software will assem-
ble all signifi cant mixer functions and coupling func-
tions automatically. This eliminates the need for sepa-
rate modules in the transmitter to implement complex
coupled functions and also makes sophisticated
mechanical mixer mechanisms in the model unnec-
essary. For example, this makes the
transmitter fully equipped with both software and
hardware to operate the well-known NAUTIC modules
on the receiver side. The "channel sequencer" is new.
It permits the operation of up to three servos to be
automated.

convenience. The
tem has 80 model memory locations. Additional fl ight-
phase-specifi c settings can be stored in every model
memory location. For example, such settings can be
made for various parameters that can be called up to
implement particular fl ight maneuvers at the "press of
a button". Additional model memories can be stored
on the SD card, which is included standard with the
set. Even telemetry data can be recorded for subse-
quent evaluation on a PC.

Functionally-related options are clearly arranged by
content in a simple organization. The clear, compre-
hensible program structure permits a beginner to
quickly become familiar with the various functions and
able to use all options pertinent to his level of exper-
tise with remote control models.
This handbook describes every menu in detail. There
are tips, many notices and programming examples to
supplement the descriptions and also explanations for
model specifi c technical terms, like transmitter con-
trol, dual rate, butterfl y, and so on.
Please observe the safety notices and technical
notices. Read through the instructions attentively.
Before usage, test all functions by simply attaching
servos to the receiver included in the set. While doing
this, observe respective notes on page 68. This will
help you learn the essential operating techniques and
functions of the mc-32 HoTT.
Always handle your remote controlled model with a
sense of responsibility so that you do not endanger
yourself or others.
The Graupner team wishes you much pleasure and
success with your mc-32 HoTT, the newest gen-
eration of remote control systems.
