Throttle Cut
The Throttle Cut menu option enables you to assign a switch
position to stop an engine or motor. Throttle Cut activates
regardless of fl ight mode.
When you activate Throttle Cut, the throttle channel moves to the
pre-programmed position (normally off).
You may need to use a negative value to move the throttle channel
to the off position.
CAUTION: Always test the model after making
adjustments to make sure the model responds to
controls as desired.
Mixing
Mixing allows control
input for a channel to
affect more than one
channel at a time. Mixing
functions support:
• Mixing a channel to
another channel.
• Mixing a channel to itself.
• Assigning offset to a channel.
• Linking primary to secondary trim.
These mixes are available for each model memory:
Select a channel for master and slave. Inputs for the master
channel control both the master and slave channels. For example,
Elevator to Flap makes elevator the master channel and fl ap the
slave channel.
Offset
Change the offset value
to move the effective
center position of the
slave channel. Positive
or negative value deter-
mines the direction of
the offset. Offset is not
available for curve mixes.
Trim
If the master channel
trim should also adjust
the slave channel, set
Trim to Act. A channel
monitor on the left side
of the screen shows how
channels respond to
input. To view a switch-
assigned mix on the monitor, the mix switch must be in the active
position.
Assigning a Mix to a Switch
If you wish to assign a
mix to a switch position:
1. Scroll to Switch and
press the scroll
wheel.
2. Scroll left or right to
the switch you wish
to use and press the scroll wheel to save the selection.
3. Scroll to the switch position where you want the mix to be
active.
The mix is Active when the box is fi lled and Inactive when the box
is open. You can assign a mix to be active in multiple switch posi-
tions (0,1 or 2).
CAUTION: Always do a Control Test of your model after
changing mixes.
Throttle Curve
You can use the Throttle Curve menu option to optimize the throttle
response. A maximum of 7 points are available on the throttle
curve.
To add points to a Throttle Curve:
1. Move the throttle stick to the position where you wish to add
the new point.
2. Scroll to Add Pt. and press the scroll wheel to add the point.
To remove points from a Throttle Curve:
1. Move the Throttle stick until the cursor is near the point you
wish to remove.
2. Scroll to Remove Pt. and press the scroll wheel once to remove
the point.
If you program multiple throttle curves and you wish to edit one of
the curves, that curve must be active in the Throttle Curve screen
before you can make any changes.
