subsequently be marked as "free" in the
"Model select" menu.
After the selected model memory is initialized with
the desired model type, the display will switch to
the base screen of the freshly occupied model
memory. At this time the warning ...
BIND. N/A
OK
... will appear for several seconds as notifica-
tion that a binding connection to a receiver is "not
available". A brief tap on the center
right four-way button will cause a direct jump to
the appropriate option:

Further details about binding a receiver can be
found on page 87 or 95.
The "BIND n/a" warning closes automatically, after
which the following warning also appears for a few
seconds ...

... will appear (also for just a few seconds) to indi-
cate that no fail safe settings have yet been made.
More about this can be found on page 220.
If the screen should display the warning ...

... then move the throttle stick, or the limiter for a
helicopter, (by default this is the right-side rotary
slider Lv2) into its idle position.
Whether or not this warning appears also depends
on the settings selected for the "Motor on C1" and
"Pitch min." options in the »Model type« menu,
see page 104, or »Helicopter type« menu, see
page 108. For winged aircraft models, select
"None" to deactivate this message if you have no
motor to enter.
If the transmitter already has occupied mod-
el memories then sub-menus of the »Copy /
Erase« menu will display a pictograph of the se-
SET
key of the
lected model type at the respective memory loca-
tion followed by a blank line or the model name
which was entered in the »Basic settings, mod-
el« menu, page 86 or 94.
If battery voltage is too low, the model switchover

cannot be made due to reasons of safety. An ap-

As a basic principle, there are four different ways to
assign the four control functions, aileron, elevator,
rudder and throttle or brake flaps for winged models
as well as rolling, pitching, tail rotor and throttle/pitch
for helicopter models, to the two sticks. Just which of
these methods is used depends on the preferences of
the individual model pilot. This function is set for the
currently active model memory in the "Stick mode"
line of the »Basic settings, model« menu, page
86 or 94:

It should be noted here once again that, in the inter-
est of greatest flexibility in combination with the pre-
vention of unintentional operating errors, no controls
are preassigned to control channels 5 ... 8 respec-
tively 5 ... 12 by default.
This means that, in the system's delivered state,
only servos attached to receiver outputs 1 ... 4
can typically be operated by the two sticks and
that any servos attached to receiver connectors
5 ... max. 12 will remain in their middle positions.
A newly initialized helicopter model is also able to
more-or-less move servo 6 – depending on the posi-
tion of the right-side proportional rotary slider, which
is the default throttle limiter control. With either model
type, this situation will only change after appropriate
assignments have been made in the »Control ad-
just« menu.
On the other hand, if a newly initialized model mem-
ory is to be put into operation then it MUST first be
appropriately "connected" with one or more receivers
before the servos attached to the receiver/s can be
operated. More about this can be found in the section
"Binding" on page 87 or 95.
A fundamental description of programming steps for
a winged aircraft model can be found in the program-
ming examples section beginning on 280, or for
helicopter models beginning on page 318.
