… you should determine whether you would like the
minimum throttle position in the “front” or “rear”, be-
cause “none (motor)” is entered by the program in the
creation of a model memory as a basic principle.
The difference between “none” and “idle front/rear” is
not only the effect on C1 trimming, which covers the
entire scope of stick travel with “none” but with “idle
front/rear” only has an effect in the idle direction. In
the process, the “effective direction” of the C1 stick
is adapted accordingly, so that with a change from
“front” to “rear” or vice versa, the rotational direction of
the throttle servo or brake system do not have to be
adapted as well. In addition, with an “idle front/rear”
setting, a warning indication appears in the display
for safety reasons and issues a warning beep, if the
throttle stick is too far in the full-throttle direction:

In any case, it will be necessary to give some thought
to “special functions”.
With electro gliders, on the other hand, it is only oc-
casionally different. In this regard, one must ask how
the drive and brake system are actuated. Certain
solutions have shown to be practical and others have
shown to be less practical.
For example, it is certainly less practical, if you have
to release a stick for the approach of a glider model
in order to be able to appropriately control the spoi-
lers or a crow position using one of the other controls.
It may be more advantageous to either design the
function of the C1 stick to be switchable, see Example
4, beginning on page 291, or to leave the control of
the brake system at the stick and to control the mo-
tor through one of the other controls or even with a
switch! Since this type of model does not normally
have a motor, and just a “start assistance” function
to either “lift” the model in the sky with full force or, in
any case, to “tow” it with “half” force by a wind field,
When this is also mounted in a convenient to grip
location, the motor can be switched on and off with-
out letting loose of one of the sticks – even during the
landing approach.
If you do not decide immediately to have the three-
function stick switch, Order No. 33000.3, installed
by a Graupner Service Centre, then we recommend
that you use one of the three-position switches fitted
as standard, and preferably the switch on the side of
the transmitter away from the hand which holds the
model when launching. In other words: If the model is
started from the right hand, the motor switch should
be mounted on the left side and vice versa.
The idea is the same for the control of flaps, regard-
less of whether only ailerons or flaps covering the en-
tire wingspan (combinations) are raised or lowered. A
3-position switch with a long grip generally suffices for
control of camber flaps, preferably mounted outboard
on the throttle/brake stick side There it is always ac-
cessible without having to let loose of the stick.
If everything is now in order, you can begin with the
programming.
