PROGRAM
This reverse function is effective for all model types.
This code provides a means to alter the direction of
operation of the throttle stick (transmitter function 1)
to suit your preference. You can toggle between
“NORM” and “REV” by pressing the INC or DEC
buttons.
There are several mixers which involve the throttle
(function 1), and they can only work correctly if this
setting is correct. In the helicopter program this
means that throttle and collective pitch functions, e.g.
throttle idle-up, tail rotor mixer, collective pitch trim,
etc.
The idle trim is automatically switched to the other
end of the stick arc when you reverse this function.
Important
:
The effect of the idle trim system is that the trim
slider for the throttle servo has no influence around
the centre position and at the full throttle end of the
stick arc.
When you first select a model (or after a reset) a
standard 3 character entry appears in the display
above the model number. Example: 1FL, 19L, …
Model number 1 – 20 and current model type
(FL = standard, UN = Unifly, Fb = F3B / Butterfly,
AC = Aerobatic, HE = Helicopter).
The left-hand character flashes and can be changed
by pressing the INC or DEC buttons. The
characters available are A – Z, 0 – 9, + and –.
You move to the next character by pressing the
CH SEL button. The name entered is stored as soon
as you leave this code.
(For model numbers 10 – 20, only the last letter of
the model type is displayed).
The “NA” function can only be selected if the
transmitter is set to PPM mode.
Switching the NAUTIC function on using INC / DEC
automatically reserves transmitter channels 7 and 8
exclusively for the NAUTIC module. Any mixers
which involve channels 7 or 8 are automatically
blocked, as the channels used by a NAUTIC module
cannot be linked with other channels using a freely
programmable or ready-made mixer (see block
diagrams).
The channel number after the letters “NA” indicates
which channel can be used.
Model Type NAUTIC channels
FL (standard) 7 and 8
UN (Unifly) 7 and 8
Fb (F3B/Butterfly) 8 only
AC (Aerobatic) 8 only
HE (Helicopter) 8 only
You can switch to the second channel by pressing the
CH SEL button. More information on installation is
included in the Appendix, page 82.
Note:
When using the model types “AC” and “HE” channels 5 and 7 can
also be used for NAUTIC modules if necessary, in addition to the
NAUTIC code.
