Programming example - fi xed-wing model
Example 3
Using one of the three-position switches SW 4/5 or
6/7
This variant implements a three-stage solution for
switching an electric motor on and off, and also results
in an “abrupt “ motor start-up … unless the speed con-
troller you are using features what is known as a “soft
start” function.
At the receiving end you need a suitable speed controller.
First check which receiver socket (5 or 6) is available to
connect your speed controller. If you have assigned two
aileron servos in the “Basic settings” menu, and if you
have not connected any other auxiliary function, then
this would be channel 6; this is the option we will use in
our example.
Move to the …
“Transmitter control settings” menu (page 74)
… and use the arrow buttons cd of the left or right-
hand four-way button to select the desired line. Press
the central SET button of the right-hand four-way button
to activ
ate “Switch / transmitter control assignment”.
Move the selected three-position switch; the highlighted
fi eld now shows the number of this transmitter control,
for example “Transmitter control 9”.
