four-way button. Once in a stopped state, it can be
reset to its starting value with a simultaneous tap on
the or keys of the right four-way button at
the same time (CLEAR).
If you wish to assign a control switch, you must first
define the switch on the »Control switch« menu
and specify the switching point along the travel of the
transmitter control. As an example, the timer can then
be started by “opening the throttle” or by opening the
throttle limiter for helicopter models.
Note:
The combination of the flight time timer and stop-
watch means that you can glance at the display at
any time and see how long you have been flying
since the timers were started, plus the total motor
runtime within this particular period of flight time.
“Frame (time)”
The time frame timer is intended primarily for use by
competition pilots, who are frequently given a time-
frame within which they must complete certain tasks.
The timer is started in precisely the same way as the
flight time timer. To stop the timer, first ensure the
timer switch is at its OFF position. Then touch and
hold the or selection keys then touch the
center ESC key.
Switch assignment
Use the selection key of the left or right four-way
button to move the marker frame next to the triangle
as shown in the screen image shown below to the
rightmost column of the relevant line:

Here, you assign a switch as described in the section
„Physical control, switch and control switch assign-
ments“ on page 68.
Typical application:
The “stop watch” and “flight timer” are both to be
started simultaneously using the C1 stick as soon as
a user-defined switching point is exceeded.
For this purpose, define a control switch, e. g. “C1”, in
the »Control switch« menu, page 145. To complete
the procedure, you select this from the expanded
switches (see the section „Physical control, switch
and control switch assignments“ on page 68) and
assign it to both these lines:
Alarm

The stopwatch will now stop when the stick is below
the switching point and resume running above the
switching point. The same is not true for the flight time
timer, however, which also starts the first time the
switching point is exceeded. It can be stopped (with a
tap on the center ESC key of the left four-way but-
ton) only once the stopwatch is stopped; it can then
be reset to its starting value with a simultaneous tap
on the or keys of the right four-way button
(CLEAR).
Switchover between “forward” and “backward”
Timer runs forwards (stopwatch function)
Following switch assignment, if the stopwatch shown
on the basic display is started with the initial value of
“0:00”, then it will run forwards for max. 180 min and
59 s and then restart from 0:00.
Timer runs backwards (countdown function)
In the – left – minutes field, select a start time between
0 and 180 min …

6. Following a switch back to the basic display (by
tapping the center ESC key of the left four-way
button as many times as required), make sure the
stopwatch is stopped then simultaneously tap on
the or keys of the right four-way button
(CLEAR) to switchover the stopwatch to the “tim-
