THROTTLE
DIRECTION
Reversing the Direction of Throttle Control
(access via System Menu)
This reverse function is effective for all model types.
This code provides a means to alter the direction of
operation of the throttle stick (transmitter function 1)
to suit your preference. You can toggle between
"NORM" and "REV" by pressing the
buttons.
There are several mixers which involve the throttle
(function 1), and they can only work correctly if this
setting is correct. In the helicopter program this
means that throttle and collective pitch functions, e.g.
throttle idle-up, tail rotor mixer, collective pitch trim,
etc.
The idle trim is automatically switched to the other
end of the stick arc when you reverse this function.
Important:
The effect of the idle trim system is that the trim
slider for the throttle servo has no influence around
the centre position and at the full throttle end of the
stick arc.

NAUTIC
PROGRAM
Connecting Nautic Modules (only in PPM Mode)
(access via System Menu)
The "NA" function can only be selected if the
transmitter is set to PPM mode.
Switching the NAUTIC function on using
automatically reserves transmitter channels 7 and 8
exclusively for the NAUTIC module. Any mixers
which involve channels 7 or 8 are automatically
blocked, as the channels used by a NAUTIC module
cannot be linked with other channels using a freely
programmable or ready-made mixer (see block
diagrams).
The channel number after the letters "NA" indicates
which channel can be used.
Model Type NAUTIC channels
FL (standard) 7 and 8
UN (Unifly) 7 and 8
Fb (F3B/Butterfly) 8 only
AC (Aerobatic) 8 only
HE (Helicopter) 8 only
You can switch to the second channel by pressing the
button. More information on installation is

included in the Appendix, page 82.
Note:
When using the model types "AC" and "HE" channels 5 and 7 can
also be used for NAUTIC modules if necessary, in addition to the
NAUTIC code.
