FLT C (Flight Conditions)
FLT C (Flight Conditions)
This is a sophisticated function of the Optic 6 Sport's
programming that allows you to activate up to four different
flight condition modes with switches SW-1 and SW-3. In these
modes you can select four different amounts of dual-rate,
exponential and flaperon and elevator settings for each switch
position.
We already demonstrated this function previously when we set up
one additional flight mode with camber settings. Having the
ability to set up four flight modes with different dual-rate and
exponential functions offers some useful nuances of flight
control when you are flying in changing weather conditions or
performing advanced aerobatics.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you turn on your radio with one
(or more) of the switches turned on to an activated flight
condition, the radio will start beeping at you and the screen will
inform you which switch is on. If this happens don't panic: simply
move the switch(s) until the beeping stops and the "NOR"
symbol appears.

Setting up flight condition modes
1. Move both mode switches to their normal positions: SW-1
toward the back "0" and SW-3 to the middle).
2. To activate a flight mode on switch SW-1 move the switch
position toward you to "1" and hit both DATA buttons
simultaneously. The "Inh" symbol will change to "On" and
ST3 will be blinking. Now move the switch back to the "0"
position.
3. To activate two more flight modes, move switch SW-3 from
its center position (NOR) toward the back of the transmitter.
Activate the mode ST1 by hitting both DATA buttons
simultaneously. The "Inh" symbol will change to "On" and
ST1 will be flashing.
4. Move switch SW-3 to the front of the transmitter. Activate
the mode ST2 by hitting both DATA buttons simultaneously.
The "Inh" symbol will change to "On" and ST2 will be flashing.
5. The middle position, normal (NOR), is by default the fourth
flight mode.
To activate a certain flight mode condition while in flight, simply
move the appropriate switch. Note that SW-1 over-rides SW-3
in any of its three positions
Setting up flight condition modes with different dual rate and
exponential values
Let's set up two dual-rate and exponential settings in addition to
those established with the switch SW-3 in the center, normal
(NOR) position. We'll assume that you have already activated
modes ST1 and ST2 on this switch as instructed above:
1. Enter the Main Function menu by pressing both EDIT buttons
with the transmitter on.
2. Scroll to the dual rate (D/R) screen with the Right EDIT button:
CH 1 should be flashing and "NOR" should appear at the
bottom of the screen under the default value of 100%.
(If it isn't, you can return to the default value immediately by
pressing the Clear button). Next to the 100%, a "0" indicates
that switch SW-2 is in the 0 position-if it isn't, put it there.
3. Using one of the DATA buttons, enter a rate value for the
ailerons in CH 1-then move switch SW-2 to the "1" position
and enter another value. This will be the dual-rate range for
the ailerons in the normal (NOR) flight mode.

4. To establish a second set of dual rates for the ailerons in
flight condition mode ST1, move the switch SW-3 to the back
of the case: ST1 appears. Now set a dual rate when the
switch SW-2 in the "0" position and then in the "1" position.
5. To establish a third set of dual rates for the ailerons in flight
condition mode ST2, move the switch SW-3 to the front of the
case: ST2 appears. Now set a dual rate when the switch
SW-2 in the "0" position and then in the "1" position.
6. If you wish to set dual-rate ranges for the elevator and the
rudder follow the last three steps above-entering in the values
in elevator CH 2 and then in rudder CH 4.
7. To establish the two additional flight mode exponential
settings, scroll to the EXP screen and follow essentially the
same process outlined above for setting the dual-rate ranges.
(Note that both the dual-rate and exponential settings are
toggled on the same switch: SW-2).
