Base settings
Basic model-specifi c settings for model helicopters
Before you start programming specifi c parameters,
some basic settings must be entered which apply only to
the currently active model memory.
Stick mode
Basically there are four possible ways of arranging the
principal control functions of a model helicopter on
the two dual-axis sticks: the primary functions are roll,
pitch-axis, tail rotor and throttle / collective pitch. Which
of these options you select depends on your individual
preferences and fl ying style:
To select the stick mode, fi rst select the transmitter
mode „ normal“ with the mode switch. Turn the transmit-
ter OFF and insert the supplied programming plug into
the DATA socket on the back of the transmitter. Turn ON
the transmitter: you can now call up the desired stick
mode by cycling through the modes with a brief press of
the BIND-button:

To choose a mode, hold the BIND-button pressed for
approx. three seconds. When you release the button, the
transmitter should emit an audible signal and the buzzer
sound stops. Switch OFF the transmitter and remove
the programming plug.
Never use the remote control with programming
connector plugged in!
Later, to check the stick mode which is programmed,
watch out for the Status-LED on the transmitter.
Country setting
After you have set the stick mode, the country setting
must be done in a second step.
The Country setting is present in order to cater for vari-
ous directives (FCC, ETSI, IC etc.). The HoTT 2.4 radio
system features a restricted frequency band for France.
If you wish to use the RC system in France, the country
setting on the transmitter must be set to “France” mode,
as described. It is essential not to use the Universal/
EUROPE mode.
To select a Country setting, you must fi rst switch the
transmitter off, then insert the supplied programming
plug in the DATA socket on the back and the Jumper
in the position „NO MIX“ on the front of the transmitter.
Switch the transmitter on: you can now toggle between
the “GENERAL” and “France” settings by briefl y pressing
the BIND-button:

Fixed-wing model aircraft
Fixed-wing model aircraft
This program provides convenient support for normal
model aircraft with up to two aileron servos, V-tail
models, fl ying wings and deltas with two elevon (aileron
/ elevator) servos.
The majority of power models and gliders belong to the
“normal” tail type with one servo each for elevator, rud-
der, ailerons and throttle or electronic speed controller
(airbrakes on a glider).
If your model features two separate aileron servos (and
also in some cases two fl ap servos), the aileron travel of
both pairs of control surfaces can be set up with diffe-
rential movement in the “Tail type” menu.
If the model features a V-tail instead of a conventional
tail, you need to select the tail type “V-tail” with in the
“Tail type” menu, as this automatically superimposes
the elevator and rudder control functions in such a way
that each tail panel can be actuated by a separate servo.
For deltas and fl ying wings it is easy to set up mixed
elevons, i. e. the aileron and elevator functions can be
carried out via common control surfaces at the trailing
edge of the right and left wing. As standard the program
contains the appropriate mixer functions for the two
servos.
More functions are programmable with the optional
Smart Box. See the section „Telemetry“ on page 113.
