MIXER
Up to three mixers can be programmed simultaneously.
You can switch between mixer 1, mixer 2 and mixer 3
using “MIXER”.
The following settings on this screen always apply to the
mixer selected in the MIXER line.
Important note:
If you have already programmed mixer functions in
the “Tail type” menu, page 105, check very carefully
that those mixers do not overlap with those of the
“RX FREE MIXER” menu.
MASTER CH (“from”)
The signal present at the MASTER CH (master chan-
nel) is mixed into the SLAVE CH (slave channel) to a
user-variable extent, following the same principles as
described in detail in the section entitled “Free mixers”
on page 107.
Select “00” if no mixer is to be set.
SLAVE CH (“to”)
A proportion of the signal of the MASTER CH (master
channel) is mixed into the SLAVE CH (slave channel);
the mixer ratio is determined by the percentage fi gures
entered in the “TRAVEL-” and “TRAVEL+” lines.
Select “00” if no mixer is to be set.
TRAVEL–/+ (mixer ratio in %)
The mixer ratio in relation to the MASTER signal is
determined separately for each direction by the values
entered in these two lines.
TAIL TYPE
The following model types are also available in the “Tail
type menu (see page 105), and should normally be set
up at that point. If you have done this, you should always
leave the TAIL TYPE at NO MIX.
However, if you prefer to use the receiver’s integral
mixers, you can select the pre-set mixer function for the
corresponding model type:
NORMAL•
This setting corresponds to the classic aircraft type
with tail-mounted stabiliser panels and separate rud-
der and elevator. No mixer function is required for this
model type.
V-TAIL•
For this model type the control functions elevator and
rudder are linked together in such a way that each of
the two control surfaces - actuated by a separate ser-
vos - carries out superimposed elevator and rudder
functions.
The servos are usually connected to the receiver as
follows:
OUTPUT CH 3: left V-tail servo
OUTPUT CH 4: right V-tail servo
If you fi nd that the servos rotate in the wrong direc-
tion, please see the notes on page 111.
ELEVON (delta / fl ying wing models)•
The servos connected to outputs 2 and 3 assume su-
perimposed aileron and elevator functions. The ser-
vos are usually connected to the receiver as follows:
OUTPUT CH 2: left elevon
OUTPUT CH 3: right elevon
If you fi nd that the servos rotate in the wrong direc-
tion, please see the notes on page 111.

In most cases a non-linear control function is used for
aileron (channel 2), elevator (channel 3) and rudder
(channel 4), and the default settings assume that this is
the case.
For example, if you have set “AIL” at the transmitter, and

Using the transmitter for the fi rst time
Firmware update
Firmware updates for the transmitter are carried out at
the owner’s discretion using the three-pin PC interface
on the back of the transmitter, in conjunction with a PC
running Windows XP, Vista or 7. To connect the transmit-
ter to a PC you also require the optional USB adapter,
Order No. 7168.6 and the connecting lead, Order No.
7168.6A.
The latest software and information can be found in the
Download section for the corresponding product at www.
graupner.de.
Note:
Once you have registered your transmitter at http://
graupner.de/de/service/produktregistrierung you will
automatically be informed of new updates by e-mail as
they become available.
Updating the mx-16 HoTT software
Attention:
It is essential to check the state of charge of your
transmitter battery before carrying out any update.
To be on the safe side we recommend that you give
the battery a full charge.
1. Installing the driver
In order to be able to use the transmitter’s integral
port you must fi rst install the driver software required,
which is included in the program packages in the
“USB driver” folder.
Start the driver installation by double-clicking on the
appropriate fi le and following the on-screen instruc-
tions. When the installation is complete, your comput-
Important notes:
The transmitter included in the set is prepared at •
the factory with the correct settings for most Eu-
ropean countries (except France).
If you wish to operate the RC system in France,
you MUST fi rst set the Country setting on the
transmitter to “FRANCE” mode; see page 104
or 108. IT IS PROHIBITED to use the system IN
FRANCE using the Universal / EUROPE mode!
You can operate up to fi ve servos using the • mx-
10 HoTT transmitter and the receiver supplied in
the set, which is already bound to the transmitter.
When switching on, binding or setting up the ra-•
dio control system, please ensure at all times
that the transmitter aerial is an adequate distance
from the receiver aerials. If the transmitter aeri-
al is too close to the receiver aerials, the receiver
will be swamped, and the green LED on the re-
ceiver will go out. At the same time the down-link
channel will stop working. In parallel the orange
status LED blinks four times in quick succession
and starts the corresponding buzzer warnings. At
the same time the radio control system switches
to Fail-Safe mode.
If this should happen, simply increase the dis-
tance between transmitter and receiver until the
displays revert to “normal”.
Transmitter fi rmware update
er must be re-started. The driver only has to be
installed once.
2. Connecting the transmitter to the PC
Make sure the transmitter is switched off, then con-
nect the USB lead to the 3-pole socket on the back
of the transmitter. Install the cable so that the orange
cord shows to the left (center of the transmitter) and
the brown cord to the right edge of the transmitter.
Do not apply excessive force.
3. Updating the mx-16 HoTT transmitter software
Start the program “Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio_
Ver-SX.X.exe” from the appropriate folder by a
double-click. (The at the time of printing this manual
current version 1.3 starts without prior installation.):
Select “Port Setup” under “Menu”; alternatively open
the “Controller Menu” and click on “Port select”:
