  • Page 4 The unit’s main function is a telemetry receiver for the RC Multi 2 system with the RC TRX30 and RC GPS modules. With this system the user can view several parameters of the plane (vario, altitude, GPS position and battery). The Software is designed for many competition tasks or free flying. The user can fly predefined or manually created tasks.

  • Page 5: Audio Jack

    There is no data carried on the USB port – no direct communication between the RC T3000 and PC via USB. Only power can be supplied (5V max) via the USB connector. The RC T3000 has a micro SD card slot positioned on the left side of the unit. The SD card is used for: ...
  • Page 6 The main page consists of basic flight parameters. In the upper section the ground speed information, GPS signal status with green bars, (1 bar represents 3 satellites and 5 bars more than 6 satellites) and the battery indicator are displayed. The main part of this page is the vario indicator with a yellow needle and a numeric value (current vario or average) in the middle.

  • Page 7: Thermal Assistant

    Pressing the navigation switch while on the main vario page will activate the thermal assistant. An automatic switch from the main page is also possible by selecting the Thermal assistant item in the setup/vario menu. The Thermal assistant page shows the thermal profile in colors as a percent of the maximum climb rate in the last circle.
  • Page 8  last known latitude and longitude If the RC T3000 is powered OFF all this data (except last known latitude and longitude) will be reset. Last known latitude and longitude will be stored until “init memory” is done in Setup.

    The GPS triangle task is a complex navigation procedure which guides the pilot from the start point around 3 turn points until the finish line. The task can be created manually or imported from the SD card. On this page the pilot can find basic information on how to approach the next TP on the task.

  • Page 10: Load

    Load To load a pre-generated task you should upload the task file (.afg file) into the RC/TSK folder on the SD card. After selecting the “LOAD” option, all .afg task files in that folder will be shown. Select the required task file from the list and it will be uploaded.

    Course tracking - The XC soaring navigation page shows the course as a solid green line connecting the turn points. Current bearing to the next turn point is shown as a solid white line. The turn points are shown as yellow circles which depict the turn cylinders.

  • Page 12: Setup

    Setup This menu allows you to change the turn cylinder radius. Press Enter and use the up/down functions of the navigation switch to change it. The task will be recalculated when you leave this menu. Start To start/restart the task, select the “START” option. On the Task navigation page “ARMED” text will be displayed when the start is triggered.
  • Page 13 The F3F navigation page shows the course as a solid green line connecting the turn points. The two turn points are shown as yellow lines. These yellow lines define an infinite plane that is the turn point. The course and turn point lines are perpendicular.
  • Page 14 Load To load a pre-generated task you should upload the task file (.f3x file) into the RC/TSK folder on the SD card. After selecting the “LOAD” option, all .f3x task files in that folder will be shown. Select the required task file from the list and it will be uploaded.
  • Page 15 The F3B distance navigation page shows the course as a solid green line connecting the turn points. The two turn points are shown as yellow lines. These yellow lines define an infinite plane that is the turn point. The course and turn point lines are perpendicular.
  • Page 16 Load To load a pre-generated task you should upload the task file (.f3x file) into the RC/TSK folder on the SD card. After selecting the “LOAD” option, all .f3x task files in that folder will be shown. Select the required task file from the list and it will be uploaded.
  • Page 17 The F3B speed navigation page shows the course as a solid green line connecting the turn points. The two turn points are shown as yellow lines. These yellow lines define an infinite plane that is the turn point. The course and turn point lines are perpendicular.
