Programming examples – Fixed-wing models

Including an electric power system in the model programming

There are various ways of switching electric power

systems on. The simplest method of including an

electric motor in a model set-up is to use the thrott-

le / brake stick. However, since we have already re-

served the Ch1 transmitter control for the airbrakes

in the course of programming, we have to explore

other possibilities for controlling the motor: either the

switchable solution described in the section starting

on page 129, or the use of an alternative transmitter

control. Depending on the features of your particular

transmitter, this could be one of the two sliders which

are ﬁ tted as standard in the transmitter’s centre con-

sole, or one of the optional two-channel switch mo-

dules, Order No. 4151 or 4151.1 – see Example 1 on

the right-hand side of the page.

However, the centre console controls are not parti-

cularly easy to reach during a hand-launch, which

means that it is usually necessary to let go of one

stick in order to operate them. The selected transmit-

ter control should therefore be in a more accessible

position, e.g. “outside left” or “outside right”. In those

positions it can be reached, for example, with the little

ﬁ nger, without having to let go of a stick.

A cheaper solution would be to remove one of the

three external switches in the centre console and re-

position it, although a better solution in the long-term

would be to install an optional differential switch, Or-

der No. 4160.22 – see Examples 2 and 3.

The next step is to turn to the individual examples,

but ﬁ rst please note that inputs 5 to 8 are program-

mable separately for each ﬂ ight phase in the »Cont-

rol adjust« menu. This means that they must also be

programmed separately for each ﬂ ight phase.

However, you may want the power system to be avai-

lable independently of the currently selected ﬂ ight

phase, and this means that you would need to repeat

your settings in each ﬂ ight phase separately, and also

adjust the settings again after any changes you make

– assuming that you wish to use these inputs 5 to 8.

This is clearly an extremely complicated procedure,

and one which invites errors, so we strongly recom-

mend that you use one of the inputs 9 to 12, which

are independent of the ﬂ ight phases, and therefore

only have to be programmed once for a particular mo-

del.

This option does require you to program an additional

free mixer if the receiver features fewer than nine out-

puts. However, the advantage is that you will not nor-

mally have to change anything else once you have

completed the programming.

Note:

Since the program of the mc-22s has been expanded

compared to the mc-22 by the addition of the “Recei-

ver output” sub-menu, you can achieve the same ef-

fect as setting up a free mixer from “9 to NN” (which

is still described here in the interests of compatibili-

ty) simply by assigning servo 9 to the output NN; see

page 51.

Example 1

Using a linear slider or a two-channel switch mo-

dule

If you wish to use one of the integral two-channel sli-

ders or an optional two-channel switch module (Or-

der No. 4151 or 4151.1), then it is a relatively simple

matter to set it up to control an electric motor: all you

have to do is connect the speed controller to a vacant

servo socket at the receiver – in this example output

“8” – then carry out adjustments in the »Control ad-

just« menu, and program a free mixer.

Note:

If – in contrast to our example – you wish to use re-

ceiver output “1” because your model does not fea-

ture airbrakes, or you want to use a “small” receiver,

then start the programming in the »MIX-only chan-

nel« menu (see page 108) and set channel “1” to “Mix

only”.

After this, continue as described here, but note that

you should now program the “LinearMIX” from “9” to

“1”.

Connect a two-channel module to the (ﬂ ight phase-in-

dependent) input CH9 on the transmitter circuit board,

switch the transmitter on, and move to the menu …
