Operation Manual

lf
you
want to adiust the
following rate in flight
(Digi-
Adjustor
required):
Before launching the
model, move to the
menu
as de-
scribed and
press
the
Z
key, to
release
the
value input
field.
Don't leave the
menu! While
you
are f lying
your
model
you
can
now vary the value of the following
rate
by
rotating the
Digi-Adjustor. Land the model and
press
the
@
key to store the value
you
have found to
be
cor-
rect.
Caution!
Never attempt to
make
changes
via the
keypad while
the model is
flying. You would have to take
your
eyes
off the
model to find the right
key;
and
if
you
made a
mistake, the results could be catastrophic!
For in-
flight adjustments use the
Digi-Adiustor, which
you
can operate
"blind".

When
you
were deciding
which radio
set
to
purchase,
the fact that the
PROFI mc 3010 transmitter can store,
or memorise,
up to 30 different
models was
undoubt-
edly
an important
factor.
First a little information on the
way in which the PROFI
mc 3010 records and stores
the model information.
Then we
will move on to the more
practical
matter
of
the
"
Memory"
Menu
and
its
sub-menus,
which are used
for:
copyrng memones
erasrng
memones
switching
memories
namrng memofles
checking and
matching trim settings
The model
list
-
a simple
principle
lmagine one
ot
your
models. And now
imagine all the
asoects
of that model
for which the transmitter
has to
be
ad.iusted
(the
technical
term is
"configured").
For example,
the settings
might
be:
Aileron on the
right-hand stick; elevator
left;
exoonential
on elevator:
differential
ailerons, adjusted
to a
particular
value;
sweet
bomb
release, actuated by a switch,
the normal
position
of the trim sliders;
direction
of servo
rotation;
elc....
lf
your
transmitter
had no
"
memory",
you
would
prob-
ably
write down all these
points
in
a
list and
-
when
you
change
models
-
re-adjust the transmitter according
to
this list. You
would write the name of the
model at the
too of the list.
The
PROFI mc 3010 transmitter does
exactly that.
lf
you
have already owned
a transmitter
with
a
memory,
it is best to
forget right now that
it
used
"programs"
and
"adjustment
values".
These
"programs"
were nothing
more exotic than
lists oi mixing arrangements,
control
characteristics
etc.,
made
up by
the radio manufacturer;
usually
they could only be
modified slightly,
if
at all.
You
might have liked a
flap
-
elevator mixer
instead ot the
V-tail mixer
-
but that
was only available
in
another
"program"
. . .
The PROFI
mc
3010
is
quite
honest about the
matter
ol
"
programs".
For each model
your
transmitter draws up a
"list".
lt in-
cludes everything
that applies to that
particular
model.
You do
not need to speciJically create this
list: when
you
set up the transmitter
to meet
your
requirements, the
transmitter
assembles the
list
automatically:
everything
that
you
select or adjust
is
"noted
down" by the trans-
mitter.
Thus
you
do not need to store the
list in
a
sepa-
rate
procedure;
if
you
switch
off, then on again, the
list
you
last used
is
"there
again"
immediately.
You
might object at this
point:
"that's
all very well, but
now
I
always
have to make up
this list before I can fly a
new
model, i-e. scratch around
for the
different
assign'
ments, mixers etc. That sounds complicated,
and other
manufactu rers offer ready-made
programs!"
We have two answers to this:
1.) You will soon see
that the
procedure
is
by
no means
complicated
or difficult.
For
your
slight effort, how-
ever,
your
reward is that
you
can
seek out and as-
semble
precisely
those options and
features that
you
want,
"a
la carte".
And
you
can
leave out what
you
don't need.
2. In any case,
iJ the rdea of so
much
"work"
is off-
putting,
or
you
do
not trust
your
ability at
first, the
transmitter
includes 10 ready-made
lists as stand-
ard,
which cater for the
vast majority of models.
Some
other manufacturers
would call this
provision
"
10
programs"
. . .
How many lists are available?
The transmitter
can store 30 such
lists, and recall any
one ol
them at any time,
when
you
want to change
mod-
els.
This is
probably
the most frequently used
"memory
operation", and
it could hardly be easier.
When
you
want to
"call
up"
a different
list, move to the
"Memory"
menu, select
"SHIFT",
then
"leaf
through"
to the model
you
want lo
fly
(model
names
in English
'
no codes!),
and that's
(almost)
all there
is to it. See
page
43 for
more details of this
procedure.
But there are other
"memory
operationst'.
For
example,
you
can create a
copy of a tried and
tested list, and
you
can then
give
the copy a
new name. You can
"clear
the
decks"
and erase
lists which
you
no longer
need;
and
much more.
