With many functions, it makes sense not to trigger
their actuation by using one of the normal switches,
but to trigger them automatically by the specific, freely
programmable position of a transmitter control or
stick.
Typical applications:
•
On/Off switching of an on-board glow plug in con-
junction with the carburetor setting and/or motor
speed. (The glow plug heater switch for this will be
controlled by a transmitter-side mixer.)
•
Switching a stopwatch on or off to measure the
simple running time of electric motors
Automated switch-off of a combi "aileron rud-
•
der" mixer when extending the airbrakes, e. g. so
as to match the bank attitude of the model to the
ground slope when landing on a ridge, without the
direction of flight also being affected by the rudder
(if the mixer were active).
•
Lowering landing flaps, adjusting elevator trim
and/or executing specific Dual Rate, Exponential
and Differential switchings when coming in to land,
as soon as the throttle stick is moved beyond the
switching point. If required, a control switch can be
overridden using a separately assigned switch in
the 5th column.
The programs of the transmitters
mc-20
HoTT are equipped with a total of four so-
called control switches ("C1" to "C4").
Accordingly, anywhere where switches can be as-
signed you have the option not only of using the
SET
maximal 19 possible transmitter switches, but also of
choosing and assigning one of the "C1" ... "C4" con-
trol switches from the list of expanded switches – as

described in the section "Physical control, switch and
–––
control switch assignments" on page 68.
–––
Furthermore, combining a control switch with an ad-
–––
ditional switch (as described later) also permits more
complex switching permutations.
Basic procedure:
1. If no transmitter control is assigned, the corre-
sponding input field of the column labeled SEL
(second column from the left) will be empty.
2. Use the selection keys of the left or right four-way
button to select the line for the desired control
switch (1 to 4).
3. Briefly tap the center
button .
4. Move your selected transmitter control.
The associated transmitter control number ap-
pears in the input field of the column above the left
SEL.
5. Use the selection keys on the left or right four-way
button to move to the right into the column labeled
STO.
6. Move the transmitter control to the desired switch-

final tap on the center

For example, the right-side proportional slider is now
to be assigned to control switch "C1", the default
throttle limiter for a helicopter model memory. So just
move this control in any direction. As soon as this is
detected, the control name appears on the display:
