5) Press then ENTER key. F-MODE COPY OK?>Y will be displayed.
6) Press the YES/+ key to begin the F-MODE Copy process. When the
F-MODE Copy process is completed the F-MODE COPY menu will be
displayed, indicating that the Flight Mode programming data has been
copied.
If you want to go back and change the Flight Mode or you don't want
to copy the Flight Mode programming data for any reason, press the
NO/- or END keys.

18.F-MODE DELaY (FLigHT MODE DELaY)

The Flight Mode Delay function allows you to program custom delays for each of the channel functions within each of the
separate Flight Modes. This function helps to prevent drastic changes in channel settings when switching between Flight Modes.
For example, if you switch from Flight Mode N (Normal) to Flight Mode 4 (Land), the flaps will immediately deploy to the position that
the flap control stick is in. The Flight Mode Delay function allows you to program a Delay in the flap channel, so that the transition
to the flap position when you switch back and forth between Flight Modes is smooth.
If you program Flight Mode Delays for all five Flight Modes separately, you can program up to 10 different Delays for each Flight
Mode. If you are using fewer Flight Modes, you can program more than 10 different Delays for each of the Flight Modes that you're
using. You are able to program 50 different Delays in total. The Flight Mode Delay function can be programmed for each of the
channels you're using, and separate Flight Mode Delays can be programmed in both directions. For example, when switching from
Flight Mode N (Normal) to Flight Mode 4 (Land) and back from Flight Mode N (Normal) to Flight Mode 4 (Land).
Choosing a Flight Mode Delay
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight F-MODE DELAY, then press the ENTER key to display the F-MODE DELAY
menu. The cursor will default to 01>0% CH>EL >N 4 1.
2) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight the Flight Mode Delay you
would like to program. If this is the first Flight Mode Delay that you're
programming, choose 01>0%
Flight Mode Delays do not have to programmed in sequence (e.g.,
01, 02, 03), but programming them in sequence does make it easier
to keep track of them.
Changing the Flight Mode Delay Rate Percentage Value
The Rate percentage value changes the speed of the servos as they move to their new positions when you switch between
Flight Modes. For example, if you're flying with flaps up in Flight Mode N (Normal), but the flaps fully deploy when you pull the
flap control stick all the way back, increasing the Rate percentage value will slow the speed at which the flap servos will move to
their maximum travel when you Activate Flight Mode 4 (Land). This allows the flaps to smoothly lower to the new travel position
instead of immediately jumping to the new travel position.
1) Press the YES/+ and NO/- keys to change the Rate percentage value
for the selected Flight Mode Delay.
The Rate percentage value is displayed as a percentage of Delay
time and is based on the amount of change in servo travel when
switching between different Flight Modes. When the Rate percentage value
is set to 100%, the servo will take approximately 15 seconds to travel from
neutral to 100% or -100%.
RATE setting range is 0% to 100%. The default setting is 0%. When the Rate percentage value is set to 0%, there is no Delay
when switching between Flight Modes. When the Rate percentage value is increased, the Delay when switching between
Flight Modes is increased.
