Programming example - fi xed-wing model
when you move the stick past the switching point in the
direction of full-throttle, and that the stopwatch alone
halts again when you move the stick back to the idle
position.
When the stopwatch is halted, you can stop the fl ight
timer by pressing the central ESC button of the left-hand
f
our-way button, and then reset both timers to their
starting value by simultaneously pressing the two arrow
buttons cd of the right-hand four-way button (CLEAR)
… or re-start them by moving the stick beyond the
switching point again.

Tip:
When using an electric motor the motor run is usually
limited by the capacity of the battery, and in this case
you would normally set the stopwatch to “count down”.
Simply enter the maximum permitted motor run, e. g.
“5 min.”. As described on pages 59 and 67 … 68, the
transmitter’s sounder starts to emit warning tones “30
sec” before “zero”.

With the stopwatch halted, press the central ESC but-
ton of the left-hand four-way button (CLEAR) button
in the basic display, so that the stopwatch switches to
the “Timer” function. The timer can now be started and
stopped using the throttle control.
Alternatively, if you control your motor using one of the
switches SW 1, 3 … 7, as described in Examples 2
or 3, you do not need any of the previously described
control switches. All you need to do is locate the switch
which you use to turn your motor on and off, and assign
the same switch to the “Timers”, with the same switching
direction, so that they start running at the same moment
you turn the motor on.
In contrast, if you have decided on the solution de-
scribed in Example 1, then unfortunately there is no al-
ternative but to operate the motor and timers separately.
If, following on from the model programming described
on the preceding pages, you have decided on Examp-
le 4 from the previous page, or you are using the Ch 1
stick (throttle / brake stick) to control motor power - inde-
pendently of this programming example - then you can
use the associated control switch to turn the stopwatch
on and off automatically.
To assign this control switch, move the Ch 1 stick to the
Idle position, then move to the “Timers” line in the …
“Basic settings” menu (pages 56 … 62)
Press the central SET button of the right-hand four-way
b
utton to activate the switch assignment, then select the
input fi eld above the switch symbol and move the throt-
tle / brake stick from its idle position in the direction of
“full throttle”. Depending on the direction of movement,
the switch “C1l” or “C2l” will appear on the screen at a
particular position of the Ch 1 stick:

If you now move the stick back towards idle, you will see
that the switch symbol changes again at around 80% of
stick travel: between the “idle position” and the switch-
ing point the switch symbol is “open”, beyond this it is
“closed” (see “Control switches” on page 39).
If you now repeatedly press the central ESC button of
the left-hand f
our-way button to return to the transmit-
ter’s basic display, in order to check the system, you
will see that the stopwatch and fl ight timer start running
