Integration of an electric drive into the model programming
An electric drive can be controlled in different ways:
The simplest method to integrate one such drive into
the model programming is with the use of a throttle/
brake joystick (C1). However, since this is already
specifi ed for the brake system in the course of the
model programming described above, either the
switchable solution described beginning on page 279
or even the use of an alternative control is possible.
As a suitable alternative, one of the two 3-position
switches would be better than one of the
proportionals controls. However, either one of the two
side proportional rotary controls are also well suited
to activation of a motor without having to let go of the
joystick. An alternative would also be one of the two-
stage switches. Basically, whatever switch is used
should be located where it is within convenient reach.
Before we turn to the individual examples, it is
important must be noted that all inputs in the
»Control adjust« menu can be selectively
programmed as fl ight-phase specifi c ("PH" in the
"Type" column) or model memory specifi c ("GL" in the
"Type" column)!
However, since the drive should usually be
available depending on the current fl ight phase,
we recommend leaving the standard default "GL"
("global") in the "Type" column which your are using.

A common option in the following examples 1 ... 5,
the automatic tracking of the elevator trimming in
the power fl ight, should also be mentioned at the
beginning of this section:
If it becomes apparent after the initial power fl ights
that the model must be continuously corrected with
the elevator while the motor is switched on, this
situation can be corrected by setting a free mixer and
adjusting it accordingly. For this purpose, switch to
the menu ...
»Free mixers«
... and program one of the linear mixers, Linear MIX
1 ... 8, or even one of the curve mixers, Curve MIX 9
... 12, from "channel controlling the motor" according
to "Ele", for example:

Example 1
Proportional control usage
If one of these controls is used, the connection is very
simple. Only the motor controller (speed control) has
to be connected to a free servo connection 5 ... 16 of
the receiver.
Bear in mind that, depending on the model type and
number of aileron and fl ap servos, the output 2 + 5 or
6 + 7 are already linked.
Therefore connect your speed controller to the next
free input and assign the selected input – for example,
"Inp. 8" – to one of the transmitter's proportional
