Programming example - ﬁxed-wing model

Using ﬂight phases

Within any of the twenty model memories you can

program up to four different ﬂight phases (states of

ﬂight), each incorporating settings which can be entirely

different from the others.

Each ﬂight phase can be called up by means of a switch.

Flight phases represent the simplest and most conven-

ient method of switching between different model set-

tings in ﬂight, and are programmed for different stages

of a typical ﬂight, such as “normal”, “thermal”, “speed”,

“distance” etc.

We assume that you have already programmed the

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

fully, test-ﬂown it and trimmed it out properly. First move

to the …

“Base settings” menu (pages 74 … 81)

… and then to the line “Phase 2”, “Phase 3” and / or

“Phase 4”, where you can either accept the default

name or assign a speciﬁc, more appropriate, name to

each ﬂight phase. The purpose of this name is just to

help you differentiate between the ﬂight phases; it has

no signiﬁcance in terms of programming. It will later ap-

pear in the transmitter’s basic screen display, and also in

the “Phase trim” and “D/R Expo” menu.

A physical switch must be assigned so that you can

select the different ﬂight phases. The ideal one for

switching a maximum of three ﬂight phases is one of the

three-position switches SW 4/5 or 6/7, located at front

left and right on the transmitter.

Each of the two end-points of this switch should be

assigned to one ﬂight phase, starting from the centre

position. We recommend that the switch direction should

match the phase numbering: as shown in the left-hand

illustration, for example, “Phase 2” is “forward” from the

centre position, while “Phase 3” is “back” (towards you).

Select the appropriate line, name, and switch assign-

ment in the “usual” way, i. e. using the various touch-

keys.

Note:

In principle it makes no difference which names you as-

sign to the various phases - with the exception of Phase

1, which is assigned the name “normal”, and is always

active when ﬂight phases 2, 3 and 4 are disabled.

For general model ﬂying three ﬂight phases are usually

quite sufﬁcient:

“Launch” or “Thermal” for launch and “staying up”,•

“Normal” for normal conditions, and•

“Speed” for ﬂying in “top gear”.•

At this point all three phases have been set up and

assigned names, and you can switch between them;

however … if you operate the phase switch you will soon

notice that nothing has changed, i. e. all the settings for

the control surfaces, and especially the wing ﬂaps, are

the same.

To change these settings, call up the …

“Phase trim” menu (page 106)

… move the phase switch (or switches) to the appropri-

ate position, and enter the desired values in the stand-

ard way by touching the input buttons, in a similar way to

the method of adjusting transmitter control centres and

offsets with other radio control systems.

AIL ELEFLA

If you now switch the receiving system on and select the

different phases in turn, you will see a difference in con-

trol surface response. The differences are also reﬂected

in the bar display for the servos in the “Servo display”

menu, which you can call up from virtually any menu

position by simultaneously touching the  buttons of

the left-hand touch-key.

Note:

Depending on the information you have entered in the

“aile/ﬂap” line of the “Base settings” menu, the “ELE”

column alone, the “AIL” and “ELE” columns, or - as

shown above - “FLAP”, “AIL” and “ELE” may appear on

the screen for “Phase trimming”.
