In order to change this value, select the "Centre"
SET
line then touch the
key. Now move the respec-
tive transmitter control, stick and/or trim wheel to the
desired position and store the current control's posi-
tion with another tap on the
SET
key. This position is
saved as the new neutral position.
TRIM (trim position)
In the "TRIM" line" you can carry out the fine adjust-
ment of the neutral position of a servo connected to
the control channel selected in the "OUTPUT CH"
line using the selection keys of the right touch pad in
1 µs increments. The value in the "Centre" line can be
adjusted by the TRIM value set here in a range of ±
120 µs.
Factory setting: 0 µs.
LIMIT–/+ (side dependent travel limit -/+)
This option is provided for the adjustment of a side-
dependent limit (limiting) of the servo travel (rudder
throw) of the servo connected to the control channel
selected in the "OUTPUT CH" line.
The settings for both directions are separate but both
are in a range of 30 ... 150 %.
Factory setting: 150 % each.
PERIOD (cycle time)
In this line you determine the time interval of the indi-
vidual channel impulse. This setting is adopted for all
control channels.
With the use of only digital servos, a cycle time of
10 ms can be set.
In mixed operation or with use of only analog servos,
20 ms should absolutely be set, because the lat-
ter can otherwise be "over-strained" and react with
"shaking" or "quivering" as a result.

The description of this menus necessitates a few
words of warning in advance:
"Do nothing" is the absolute worst thing to be
done in this regard. "HOLD" is prescribed in
the base setup model of the HoTT receiver.
In the event of a failure, in the best case scenario the
model flies straight ahead for an indefinite amount of
time and then hopefully "lands" somewhere without
causing significant damage! However, if something
like this happens in the wrong place at the wrong
time, the model may become uncontrollable and
"tear" across the flight field completely out of control,
putting the pilot and spectators at risk.
Therefore, it would obviously be beneficial to program
the the function "Motor off" at the very least, in order
to prevent such risks. If necessary, seek the advice of
an experienced pilot in order to find a "logical" setting
for your model.
And then another brief notice regarding the three pos-
sible versions of the
mc-32
HoTT transmitter for
the setting of Fail Safe:
The easiest, and recommended, way to fail-safe set-
tings is the use of the »Fail Safe« menu, which can
be reached from the multifunction menu, see page
224.
Similarly, in order to achieve the same result some-
what more laboriously, the "FAIL SAFE ALL" option
described on the following pages is also available.

In addition, there are the relatively elaborate meth-
ods of the individual adjustment using the options
"MODE", "F.S.Pos." and "DELAY". The description of
these variants begins with the "MODE" option further
below.
