Travel, symmetrical adjustment:
Ailerons only.
Centre adjustment:
All tunctions except throttle, flap and spoiler.
ldle trim:
Throttle and spoiler only.
Differential:
Ailerons only, provided that at least 2 servos are
assigned to this function.
Fixed value:
Not for ailerons, elevatot Iudder or throttle; all
other functions.
You can also use two or more of these options together;
for example, exponential and Dual Rates on aileron (il
you think this will be to your advantage),
plus differential
and centre adjustment also. All you need to do to apply
these options is increase the value in the display.
In the case of helicopters there are turther possibilities;
we will discuss these in detail on page 53.
But now, finally, to business.
How to set
transmitter control options
As we are now talking about adjusting the characteris-
tics of transmitter controls, move to the "Transmitter
Control Adiustment" menu.
From the Status display you reach the menu with the
key sequence EINN. lf we return to the first example
- 01 BIG LIFT - you will see this display:
rt:t: HILEF:
fl:rip't_tr
E F F E L : T :
E 1 : : J
Press the Z key. The transmitter control letter (in our
example "A') starts to f lash.
Now you can "leaf through" the options with the El and
E) keys. The various transmitter controls will appear one
after the other; at the same time the display shows
which function they operate.
Select, for example, " Elevator" (leave it flashing) and
press the N key.
The option "Expo" flashes in line 3.
You can now leaf through again, using the E and El
keys, and the transmitter will offer you all the available
ootions in turn.
The "DualRate" option
Press Z then E E E to switch to Control D (ELEvator),
then to D-RATE (Dual Rates) with N followed by OEl.
The display will look like this:
r[:' : ELEtJt:t [r-Fjt-tTEr
r5I+'
TFll.J: F-,lli:r
Press the tr key. The value at bottom right flashes. You
can alter it using the El and El keys. 1000/0 is full travel,
i.e. no throw reduction when the switch is operated; at
50o/o it will be reduced to half when the switch is oper'
ated. You have set up " Dual Rates" for the elevator.
But wait a moment - there's something else!
In the bottom left corner are more symbols. Press the
Sl key: and this area of the display will begin to flash.
Press the E key until "ON" or "OFF" is shown there.
This much will probably be clear: this shows whether
the ootion is switched on or off. You can switch between
ON and OFF by pressing the E key.
Switch to ON, then press the @ key. You will see this:
r51+.+ TF:t"t. Et:tl'lr
This part is also easy to understand: Dual Rates is one
option which requires a switch, namely to switch be-
tween full and reduced travel; and you have just se-
lected the switch 51 for this purpose. ll you don't like
this arrangement, press El again and 32 will be se-
lected. You can continue up to 55 - even the
Teacher/Pupil
switch can be used (it you insist).
You are free to choose which switch it "ought to be".

However, it is important that you establish your own
" personal layout", otherwise sooner or later you will lind
yourself totally contused.
Our suggested layout:
Dual Rates, aileron: 51
Dual Rates, elevator: 52
Dual Rates, rudder: S3
The asterisk (star)
And now an explanation of what the symbols after the
switch mean: this rs a real connoisseur's
refinement:
Let us suppose that you have selected S2, and that
"52" is still flashing. Press the tr key. The small arrow
atter "52" is reversed. You have now reversed the
swttch. And the point ot that? Well, many pilots want
Dual Rates "active" when the switch toggle faces away
from them; others the opposite way around. You can se-
lect it vourself.
