Then, in the fourth column from the left, enter the
switching time with which FROM phase should switch
TO the next respective phase. Approximately 1 s
should suffice:

This value can also be adjusted later according to your
personal preferences. Please observe in the process
that TO the autorotation phase, whose name is de-
fined as "Autorot", is switched without a time delay. If
necessary, enter the time with which a change FROM
the autorotation phase to a different phase should be
affected.
In order to be able to switch between the individual
flight phases, the assignment of the individual switches
or the three-stage switch is necessary.
The assignment of the switch takes place in the
menu ...
»Phase assignment«
Under "C" and "D", for example, assign the one of the
two standard 3-way switches mounted into the switch
panels, e. g.:

ph.Tim.
Now the given switch position must be assigned to
the respective flight phase in the »Phase settings«
menu. Since these phases already have names, the
name «1 Normal» will initially appear at the right in the
display. If the already assigned autorotation switch was
5.0s
activated, the following warning message appears in
1.1s
the display:

As a reminder:
The autorotation phase has absolute prec-
edence.
Therefore, move the autorotation switch back again
then put the selected switch, in the example the three-
stage switch connected to switch plug-in locations 5
and 6, initially to one of its limit positions. Now use the
selection keys to change to the bottom right and acti-
vate this entry field:

put the switch into its other limit position and define the
name for this new switch position, such as «3 Speed».

Note:
Exchanged or different name assignments for
the three switch positions are, of course, also
possible. Thus, for example, implementation
of a programmed speed controller (as described
beginning in the next column) can make a sequence
like "normal / hover / acro" quite logical.
The model settings made before the assignment of a
phase switch are now in the flight phase "Normal". This
is the phase which is called after the above definition in
