1. Copying flight modes
This is how it used to work:
All switch assignments and adjustments for the con-
trols had to be entered afresh for each flight mode.
You would be pleased to have programmed a model
correctly for one flight mode and adjusted all the set-
tings to your satisfaction. You then found that the
business had to be repeated for the next flight mode.
This is how it works now:
You set up a flight mode in which everything works as
you want it, then copy the data into another flight
mode to form the „basic settings“. The settings can
then be modified in the new location as you wish.
This is how it’s done:
We have placed the new Copy function point in Menu
3, next to the FLIGHT MODE menu point. The menu
points Operating Time and Base Type have been re-
moved. The new menu now looks like this:
Menu 3:
;COMBISW.
,COPY FLIGHTMODE_
The following menu appears when you select the
Copy function by pressing the g button:
Copy flight mode
confirm with R
from :Norm. flightÄ
to :Mode 2_
The function works in the same way as when copying
whole model memories: you are asked which flight
mode you want to copy from, and the flight mode into
which you want to place the copy.
x opens the „from“ (source) select field
w opens the „to“ (destination) select field
y starts the „copy“ and returns you to Menu 3
The following data is copied: all the servo and con-
trol settings.
The following data is not copied: the name of the
flight mode and the switch which selects the flight
mode.
The name of the flight mode to which you have cop-
ied the data (to: ...) is therefore retained along with
the associated switch.
If you have not assigned a name to the flight mode,
the word „Mode“ is always displayed followed by the
mode number.
If you have not assigned a switch, the default setting
is „OFF“.
'' TIP:
If you find that you cannot alter the destination when
you press the w button, you have selected a base
type which only includes one flight mode. In this
case the Copy function has no purpose and does not
work.
2. Servo travels as graphic CURVES
This is how it used to work:
Servo travel could be altered in two ways:
1. In the TRAVEL+SW menu
2. In the CURVE menu
If you were using a curve with 5 or more points it was
quite easy to „overlook“ individual points, and this
would cause a „kink“ in the curve which would result
in the servo jumping about unexpectedly.
This is how it works now:
The new TRAVEL/CURVE menu shows the servo
travel settings in graphic form as well as in percent-
age values. Thus you can see „everything at a
glance“ and can immediately detect and correct un-
wanted kinks in the shape of a curve.

This menu brings together the settings for servo
travel and curve.
The term „servo travel“ really just means a curve with
the three points end-point left, centre and end-point
right. If you select a curve with more than three points
the principle stays the same, but the curve gains a
number of adjustment points.
The illustration above shows a 13-point curve for the
SPOILER input of servo 1.
• Each of the horizontal lines represents a range of
travel of about 15%.
"•œ›š™˜— " 50%
" •œ›š™˜—"P: 2•
• The centre (approx. -7% to +7%) is marked by a
double line.
As has always been the case, the first step in adjust-
ing a curve is to select the relevant servo and then
the appropriate input. If the servo only has one input
which you can process, the second line on the left
does not include the select button and the number of
the input.
