various conditions met during the fl ight. The grouped
settings are typically termed "fl ight phases" and are
programmed in the corresponding menus.
Depending on the setting "Throttle min. forward/

Setting up fl ight phases
When you set up fl ight phases for fi xed-wing
aircraft models, you start with this menu. You
assign individual phases a name and also assign
a period of time for a (soft) transition into each
phase. Note that – depending on your model and
your settings – switch times much longer than the
default 0.1 s have proven useful. 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«
HoTT lets
menu (page 148) when setting "phase switches".
Whether or not one of the phases 1 ... 8 currently has
an assigned switch and the state of the switch can be
seen in the "status" column at the far right.

The "Copy fl ight phase" option on the »Copy / Erase«
0.1s
menu is a useful aid when programming the various
0.1s –
fl ight phases. First, you need to determine the
0.1s –
parameters for a specifi c fl ight phase; these are then
copied to the next fl ight phase, where they can then be

right touch pad. In addition to this standard pool of

The order in which phases 1 to max. 8 are assigned is
entirely irrelevant and you can leave gaps as you wish.
Nonetheless, you should always start with "Phase 1",
the "Normal phase", which is always active if ...

The defi nition of the phase name "Normal" could
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1".
The names themselves have absolutely no technical
signifi cance for programming; their only purpose is to
help you to identify which phase is active at any time
and are thus displayed in all fl ight phase-dependent
menus and also on the transmitter's basic display.
Column "Fl.ph.Tim" or "Timer"
In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen
display, other timers are also available whose settings
are confi gured in the »Flight phase timers« menu,
page 156.
Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2
The fl ight phase timers "Clk 1 ... 3" plus "Time1"
and "Time2" run only in the fl ight phase to which
they have been assigned in this menu. During other
fl ight phases they are stopped (and hidden) and the
assigned 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 fl ight phase via the center

While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap"
and a switch, the two timers "Time1" and "Time2"
