After the initial flight and over the course of the further
flying in of a model, it may be necessary to occasion-
ally adjust some of the settings. As a pilot's experience
increases, however, so does the desire for enhance-
ments and expansions of settings. For this reason, the
sequence of options is not always adhered to or some
options are even mentioned multiple times.
Of course, just the opposite can also be the case,
that not everyone of the described steps is relevant
for a certain model, just as some users may miss the
description of a certain step for their model ...
Whatever the case may be, you should consider a
logical assignment of the control mechanisms before
you begin with the model programming.
For models in which the emphasis is on the "motor",
regardless of whether it is powered by an electric
or combustion motor, there should be no problem in
this respect, because the assignment of the two stick
units essentially lies in the four basic functions "Power
regulation (= throttle)", "Side", "Altitude" and "Trans-
verse"! However, in the menu ...

... you should determine whether you would like the
minimum throttle position in the "front" or "rear", be-
cause "none (motor)" is entered by the program in the
creation of a model memory as a basic principle.
The difference between "none" and "idle front/rear" is
not only the effect on C1 trimming, which covers the
entire scope of stick travel with "none" but with "idle
front/rear" only has an effect in the idle direction. In
the process, the "effective direction" of the C1 stick
is adapted accordingly, so that with a change from
"front" to "rear" or vice versa, the rotational direction
of the throttle servo or brake system do not have to
be adapted as well. In addition, with an "idle front/
rear" setting, a warning indication appears in the dis-
play for safety reasons and issues a warning beep, if
the throttle stick is too far in the full-throttle direction:

In any case, it will be necessary to give some thought
to "special functions".
With electro gliders, on the other hand, it is only oc-
casionally different. In this regard, one must ask how
the drive and brake system are actuated. Certain

For example, it is certainly less practical, if you have

It may be more advantageous to either design the
function of the C1 stick to be switchable (see Exam-
ple 4, beginning on page 300) or to leave the control
of the brake system at the stick and to control the
motor through one of the other controls or even with
a switch! Since this type of model does not normally
have a motor, and just a "start assistance" function
to either "lift" the model in the sky with full force or, in
any case, to "tow" it with "half" force by a wind field,
When this is also mounted in a convenient to grip
location, the motor can be switched on and off with-
out letting loose of one of the sticks – even during the
landing approach.
If you cannot decide to have your Graupner service
location retrofit a three-function control switch, No.
33000.13, for this purpose then use preferably the
single-pole, three-function switch, No. 33001.25, and
mount it to the side of the sender opposite from the
hand in which you hold the model. In other words: If
the model is started from the right hand, the motor
0
switch should be mounted on the left side and vice
versa.
The idea is the same for the control of flaps, regard-
less of whether only ailerons or flaps covering the en-
tire wingspan (combinations) are raised or lowered. A
3-position switch with a long grip generally suffices for
control of camber flaps, preferably mounted outboard
on the throttle/brake stick side There it is always ac-
cessible without having to let loose of the stick.
If everything is now in order, you can begin with the
programming.
