Programming examples – Fixed-wing models

Using ﬂ ight phases

Within any model memory you can program up to four

different ﬂ ight phases (stages of ﬂ ight), each incorpo-

rating settings which can be entirely different to the

others.

Each of these ﬂ ight phases can be called up by

means of a switch or a combination of switches. Flight

phases represent the simplest and most conveni-

ent method of switching between different model set-

tings in ﬂ ight, as they can be programmed suit diver-

se stages of a typical ﬂ ight, such as normal, thermal,

speed, distance, etc.. However, ﬂ ight phase program-

ming can also be used as a straightforward means of

trying out slight modiﬁ cations to the control system

while the model is in the air, such as different mixer

ratios. This makes it much quicker to ﬁ nd the optimum

settings for a particular model.

And this is how it’s done ...

We assume that you have already programmed the

model in the transmitter’s model memory, set it up ca-

refully, test-ﬂ own it and trimmed it accurately.

The ﬁ rst stage is to assign names to one or more

ﬂ ight phases, which should describe the various sta-

ges of ﬂ ight. The name is important insofar as it helps

you to differentiate between the individual phases, but

it has no signiﬁ cance at all in terms of programming

the transmitter. The name is always shown in the

basic display, as well as in all the menus which are

variable separately for each ﬂ ight phase.

Selecting the appropriate menu line, choosing a

name and setting the transition time are carried out

by the “usual” method, i.e. by turning and pressing the

rotary control.

Note:

The names you assign to the various phases are of

no signiﬁ cance in programming terms – with the ex-

ception of Phase 1, which should always be assigned

the name “Normal”. As such it is always active even if

you disable the ﬂ ight phases.

For general model ﬂ ying three ﬂ ight phases are gene-

rally quite sufﬁ cient:

• «Thermal» for launch and “staying up”,

• «Normal» for normal conditions, and

• «Speed» for ﬂ ying in “top gear”.

In the “Trans. time” column you can deﬁ ne the period

over which the transition from one phase into (!) ano-

ther ﬂ ight phase occurs; this provides a smooth tran-

sition between the different servo settings, and can

prevent a possibly damaging lurch when you make

the switch under unfavourable circumstances. An as-

terisk () in the “Status” column indicates the current-

ly active ﬂ ight phase.

2nd step

A physical switch must be assigned so that you can

switch between the different ﬂ ight phases. The ideal

unit for switching up to three ﬂ ight phases is the diffe-

rential switch, Order No. 4160.22, which should be in-

stalled towards the outside of the transmitter on eit-

her side.

One ﬂ ight phase is then assigned to each of the two

switch end-points, starting from the centre point.

The phase switch is assigned in the menu ...

First select the switch symbol below “B”,

press the rotary control brieﬂ y and move the

switch to one end-point, before returning it

to the centre position.

Now select the switch symbol below “C”,

give a brief press on the rotary control, and

move the switch to the opposite end-point.

The phase switch is now programmed cor-

rectly, but you still have to assign ﬂ ight phases to

each switch position. Since you have already assi-

gned names to the ﬂ ight phases, you will now see

the name of phase “1” on the right-hand side of the

screen.

Move the switch to the one end-point, and

select the SEL ﬁ eld on the right of the

screen. Use the rotary control to select the

name you wish to assign to this ﬂ ight phase

(in this example «2 Thermal»):

Repeat the procedure with the switch centre setting,

to which you assign the name «1 Normal».

Finally assign the name «Speed» to the

other end-point of the switch. A brief press

on the rotary control concludes the name

assignment process.
