14. Flight Conditions Switching
If you like, you may set up the system to call up
more than one function or switch to a new set of trims
or control settings simultaneously by moving a single
switch. You can have different subtrims, coupling,
differential, exponentials, and throw volumes. In fact
you may change E V E R Y parameter between flight
modes.
We recommend that you fly the model and adjust
trims and control responses to your liking before
defining another flight condition. Any bad tendencies
may be corrected with custom programmable mix
settings PMX . Then, copy the set of adjustments to
a new flight condition, where they may be modified
for the new desired conditions. After copying you
may add new functions as necessary.
Use the Condition Select
CSL
button in the
Model Menu. This function allocates the necessary
number of flight conditions to the model memory.
Note the condition number next to the D (default) in
the display. This is the set of conditions that will be
copied into a new condition and modified. Also note
the number after the next display. You will copy to
this condition.
Use the Copy Condition CPC from the System
menu. This function copies the contents of one condi-
tion into another. Choose the default flight condition
number, press the SET button, then choose the second
condition number in the lower box "TO CONDI-
TION." Give the command to copy.
15. Volume Setting
Some functions can have their mixing ratio vary
with the motion of another slider or knob: use the
VOL key O to get to this choice (for example, see
ADF). Move the selected control to determine how it
affects the mix. You can also add a time delay on
many of the menus: look for a DELAY setting.
16. Programmable Mixers
Up to five mixers are available in all flight condi-
tions. These may be used to enhance flight capabilities
or to correct bad tendencies by adjusting mixing from
one control to another. For example, you may use
Elevator->Flap coupling to tighten up the corners on
square loops, Throttle->Rudder coupling to correct
for torque tendencies, etc. There is no limit to the
number of corrections that can be made.
Your PCM 1024Z system is filled with powerful,
predefined mixing functions. Be sure to browse through
the various function menus in the Aircraft section follow-
ing this example.
The switch that calls the flight conditions should
be selected. Return to the Condition Select CSL
function, press the desired flight condition number,
and use the SWT button to choose the desired switch
location. Once you have selected a condition, use the
CNA (Condition NAme) button to label the new con-
dition (you may have to flip the chosen switch to the
correct position to get the desired condition). Now,
you may go through the Condition menu items to get
the desired settings in the new mode. Read the condi-
tion name after the model name to be sure you are
changing the condition you want.
