HoTT lets you program up to 7
discrete groups of settings for various conditions met
during the flight. The grouped settings are typically
termed "flight phases" and are programmed in the
corresponding menus.
Depending on the setting in the "Motor at Ch1" line of
the »Model type« menu ("Throttle min. forward/back"
or "none"), your transmitter's screen will offer you the
additional columns "Motor" and "Sw.time" (transition
time) or just the column "Sw. time" (transition time) for

timers) when you call up the »Phase settings« menu

Setting up flight phases
When you set up flight phases for fixed-wing aircraft
models, you start with this menu. You assign individu-
al phases a name and also assign a period of time for
a (soft) transition into each phase. Note that – depend-
ing on your model and your settings – switch times
much longer than the default 0.1 s have proven use-
ful. You can also set up several phases with names
and transition times even if you don't currently have
a use for them, since the decision as to which of the
"occupied" phases you activate is made only on the
»Phase assignment« menu, page 158, when set-
ting "phase switches".
SET
Whether or not one of the phases 1 ... 7 currently has
an assigned switch and the state of the switch can be

Note:
The "Copy flight phase" option on the »Copy / Erase«
menu is a useful aid when programming the vari-
ous flight phases. First, you need to determine the
parameters for a specific flight phase; these are then
copied to the next flight phase, where they can then
be modified as appropriate.

The definition of the phase name "Normal" could
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1".
The names themselves have absolutely no technical
significance for programming; their only purpose is to
help you to identify which phase is active at any time

Column "ph.Tim."
In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen
display, other timers are also available whose settings
are configured in the »Flight phase timers« menu,
page 166.
Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2
The flight phase timers "Clk 1 ... 3" plus "Time1" and
"Time2" run only in the flight phase to which they
have been assigned in this menu. During other flight
phases they are stopped (and hidden) and the as-
signed stop/start switch then has no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run
through changes of phase, however, although it can
be stopped during any flight phase via the center
ESC
key of the left four-way button.
While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap"
and a switch, the two timers "Time1" and "Time2"
have the following meaning:
•
Time1
This timer will only measure time during which the
switch or control switch assigned in the "Lap time/
Tim tab" line of the »Flight phase timers« menu,
page 166, is "closed". The frequency at which the
switch is activated is shown on the basic display.
