However, the visual display of current servo posi-
tions can not only be opened by selecting this menu,
but also – directly from the transmitter’s base screen
as well as nearly all other menu positions – with a
simultaneous tap on the  keys of the left four-way
button. A brief tap on the center ESC key of the left
four-way button will cause a return to the respective
point from which it was called.
The current position of each servo is displayed in a
bar diagram between -150 % and +150 % of normal
travel with consideration for the control and servo set-
tings, the dual-rate/expo functions, the interplay of all
active linear and curve mixers, etc. 0 % corresponds
precisely to the servo center position. This way, you
can quickly check your settings without having to
switch on the receiver. However, this does not absolve
you from first carefully testing all program steps, as
well as on the model, prior to the first operation of the
model in order to eliminate errors!
For winged models the display takes place ac-
cording to the following scheme:
Bar 1 Throttle/brake servo
Bar 2 Aileron or left aileron
Bar 3 Elevator
Bar 4 Rudder
Bar 5 Right aileron
Bar 6 Camber-changing flap (left) / free
channel
Bar 7 Camber-changing flap (right) / free
channel
Bar 8 Free channel / second elevator servo
Bar 9 Free channel / Left FL2
Bar 10 Free channel / Right FL2
Bar 11 Free channel / Left AI2
Bar 12 Free channel / Right AI2
… and for helicopter models::
Bar 1 Pitch or roll (2) or pitch (2) servo
Bar 2 Roll (1) servo
Bar 3 Nick (1) servo
Bar 4 Tail servo (gyro)
Bar 5 Nick (2) servo / free channel
Bar 6 Throttle servo or speed controller
Bar 7 Gyro sensitivity / free channel
Bar 8 Speed controller / free channel
Bar 9 Free channel
Bar 10 Free channel
Bar 11 Free channel
Bar 12 Free channel
Notes:
• However, please note that the servo display al-
ways refers to the original servo sequence, i. e. it
does not take into account any changes you may
have made to the output sequence in the »Tx.
output swap« menu (which is available as stand-
ard on the
mc-20 HoTT transmitter only, but
can be unlocked on the mc-16 HoTT transmitter
as an extra-cost option), or in the “Receiver out-
put” sub-menu of the »Base setup model« menu.
• Please also note that, by default, bar diagram
tracking is opposite to the left/right movements of
a stick.
• The number of channels shown in this menu cor-
respond to the control channels available in the re-
spective transmitter. However, the number of actu-
ally usable channels depends on the receiver type
as well as the number of servos connected to it
and, therefore, may be considerably lower under
certain circumstances.
• Use this display during the model programming,
because you can immediately check all settings
on the transmitter. However, this does not absolve
you from first carefully testing all program steps,
as well as on the model, prior to the first operation
of the model in order to eliminate errors!
