Trainer Trainer system set up and use.
T18MZ trainer system makes it possible for the
instructor to chose which channels and operation
modes that can be used in the students transmitter.
The function and rate of each channel can be
set, the training method can also be matched to
the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be
connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the
Instructors’ transmitter should be programmed for
trainer operation, as described below.
When the Instructor activates the trainer switch,
the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/
FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor
can make corrections while the student has control).
When the switch is released the Instructor regains
control. This is very useful if the student gets the
aircraft into an undesirable situation.
● Setting data are stored to model data.
● Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/
NORM mode.
● Activated student channels can be selected
by switches.
NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the
following manner;
1. In the T18MZ (including FX-40, T12Z and
T12FG) transmitter and a conventional
transmitter, if the channel order is different.
It is necessary to match the channel order
in the Linkage Menu when connecting it
with other than a T18MZ.
2. Be sure that all channels work correctly in
both transmitters before flying.
