Although the basic hardware features of the mc-16
HoTT and mc-20 HoTT transmitters are the same,
i. e. two dual-axis sticks for control functions 1 to 4
and the associated trim levers, the standard sup-
plementary controls fitted to the two transmitters are
different.
•
mc-16 HoTT
• two 3-way switches (SW 5/6 & 11/12)
• two proportional sliders on the middle console,
designated Sl 1 & 2 in the menu
• two side-mounted “rotary sliders”, designated
Lv1 and 2 in the menu
•
mc-20 HoTT
• three 3-way switches (SW 2/3, 5/6 & 11/12)
• five 2-way switches (SW 4, 7, 9, 13 & 15)
• two self-restoring 2-way switches (SW 8 & 14)
• two unlockable 2-way switches (SW 1 & 10)
• two push-buttons on the back-side of the trans-
mitter (SW 16 & 17 bzw. 18 & 19)
• two switch-keys (Gb5 & Gb6)
• two proportional sliders on the middle console,
designated Sl 1 & 2 in the menu
• two side-mounted “rotary sliders”, designated
Lv1 and 2 in the menu
In contrast to the two sticks which, when initialized for
a new model memory as a “Winged aircraft” model
type will already be configured to operate the servos
connected to receiver outputs 1 … 4, these “other”
operating elements initially remain inactive.
Thus, at least in the system’s delivered state – as
already mentioned on page 77 – or even after
initialization of a new model memory with an “aircraft”
model type and its “binding” to the receiver intended
for installation, only those servos connected to the
two sticks by way of receiver outputs 1 … 4 are able
to be operated; any servos which may be connected
to receiver outputs 5 and upper will initially remain
inactive in their middle positions.
While this may appear a bit awkward at first glance
… this is the only way to ensure a completely free
selection from among “additional” operating elements
while, at the same time, not requiring the “deactiva-
tion” of unused operating elements. This is because
the only way to ensure an unused operating ele-
ment can have no effect on the model, even if
operated by accident, is to make it inactive, i. e.
not assigned to any function.
All of the aforementioned operating elements can
be freely assigned in this »Control adjust« menu to
any function input, see page 66, just to accommo-
date personal requirements. Equally, this also means
that each of these operating elements can also be
assigned to multiple functions at the same time, as
needed. For example: the exact same toggle switch
assigned to an input in this menu can, at the same
time, also have an assignment in the »Timers (gen-
eral)« menu as an “On/Off” switch, etc.
Furthermore, all inputs can be selectively set to
global or flight-phase specific operation if they have
been defined for flight-phases in the »Phase set-
tings« menu, page 152, and »Phase assignment«
menu, page 158. The names assigned to given flight
phases then appear in the second-from-the-bottom
display line, e. g. «Normal».
Basic procedure
1. Use the  selection keys of the left or right four-
way button to select the desired input, “In5 … In8”
or “In5 … In12”.
2. If necessary, use the  selection keys of the left
or right four-way button to change to the desired
column.
3. Briefly tap the center SET key of the right four-
way button. The corresponding input field is shown
highlighted.
4. Operate the chosen operating element or set the
desired value with the selection keys of the right
four-way button.
5. Briefly tap the center SET key of the right four-way
button to complete data entry.
6. A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of
the right four-way button (CLEAR) will any setting
made back to its respective default value.
Column 2, “Typ”
Similar to the previously described »Stick mode«
menu, this column can be used to define whether
further settings for the given input are to have a
“GL(obal)” or a “PH(ase-specific)” effect. Do this by
using the selection keys of the left or right four-way
button to select the desired input 5 through 8 or 5
through 12 in the column labeled “Typ”, for example:
