4. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by a
switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of
the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle cut
function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle
position so that the carburetor becomes full open. For
safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle
stick in the slow position.
5. Idle down setting
The idling speed can be lowered with one touch by
a switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the
Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function
and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed.
For safety, the idle down function acts only when the
throttle stick is in the slow position.
*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle
Down function does not work.
6. AFR (D/R)
AFR function is used to adjust the throw and
operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions
for each flight condition. This is normally used after
End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw
directions (End Point acts on ALL flight condition
settings). When mixing is applied from one channel to
another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the
same time by adjusting the operation rate through the
AFR function.
7. Airbrake
This function is used when an air brake is necessary
when taking off or diving, etc.
The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake
flap) offset amount can be activated by a switch.
The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and flap
servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the
aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted. (IN
side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition,
and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can be
chosen. Trim amounts can be fine-tuned by setting a
VR . You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link
Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick
switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch.
8. Addition of flight conditions
The transmitter can install up to eight flight
conditions per model. You can assign all switches
including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim
switches as flight-condition selection switches. You
can also add delayed mixing to these functions in
order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can
set priority order for flight conditions when you set
more than one condition. In addition, you can copy
conditions and/or change names of conditions. This
command may also be used to define what switches
and/or controls are used to activate each flight
condition.
The Condition Select function automatically
allocates the Condition 1 for each model type.
Condition 1 is the default condition, also referred to
as Normal, and is the only one active when a new
model type is defined. This condition is always on,
and remains on until other conditions are activated
by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each
channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the
servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
*When a new condition is added, "Condition1" data is
automatically copied.
*Select the condition switch and set the new condition data
with the switch in the ON position. However, if the group
mode (Gr.) was selected in advance, the same data will be
input to all new conditions. Select the single mode (Sngl)
and adjust the condition you want to change.
