… then touch the central SET button of the right-hand
touch-key. You are now immediately requested to select
the type of model you wish to program.
Sel model type
( empty mod mem )
Since in this example we are setting up a fi xed-wing
model, we simply confi rm the fi xed-wing model symbol
with a brief press on the central
SET button of the right-
hand touch-key; the screen now reverts to the basic
display.
Notes:
Naturally you can also use the pre-defi ned model •
memory 01 for programming your fi rst model; this is
the “fi xed-wing model” type by default.
Once you have called up the “Model select” option it •
is not possible to interrupt the process, i. e. you must
choose one or other model type. Even if you switch
off the transmitter at this point, you cannot avoid this
select procedure. However, if you make a mistake
you can always correct it simply by erasing the mod-
el memory.
If the battery voltage is too low, you will not be able •
to change model memories for safety reasons. The
screen then displays an appropriate message:
not possible now
voltage too low
Now that you have overcome this fi rst hurdle, you can
start programming the actual transmitter settings to suit
the model in the …
“Basic settings” menu (pages 56 … 62)

At this point you can enter the “Model name” by touch-

order to move to the character table:

You should also check the settings for “Stick mode” and
“Motor at Ch 1” and change them if necessary:
“none”:•
The brake system is “retracted” at the forward posi-
tion of the throttle / brake stick; the “Ch8 delayed” op-
tion and the “Brake ¼ NN *” mixers in the “Wing mi-
xers” menu are activated.
The warning message “Throttle too high” - see page
28 - and the “Motor stop” option are disabled.
“none/inv”:•
The brake system is “retracted” at the back position
of the throttle / brake stick; the “Ch8 delayed” option
and the “Brake ¼ NN *” mixers in the “Wing mixers”
menu are activated.
The warning message “Throttle too high” - see page
28 - and the “Motor stop” option are disabled.
“Throttle min. forward or rear”:•
Ch 1 trim works forward or back. If the throttle stick
is too far in the direction of “full-throttle” when you
switch the transmitter on, you will be warned of this
with the message “Throttle too high”.
The “Motor stop” option is activated, and the “Brake
¼ NN *” mixers in the “Wing mixers” menu are dis-
abled.
Note:
As mentioned previously, selecting “motor” or “no motor”
also affects the range of mixers available in the “Fixed-
wing mixers” menu. For this reason we shall initially
consider “none” (no motor) in the following programming
example.
In the next two lines you select the basic arrangement
of the servos in the model, and inform the transmitter of
