Transmitter presettings

Depending on the bandwidth of the model type selection of the

transmitter used, either the model type "Copter" or alternatively a

"Fixed-wing model" should be selected. Some of the current HoTT

transmitters are even shipped with preconfigured model memory.
According to the transmitter instructions, the appropriate control

mode and, if necessary, "motor front / rear" must be set. Usually

"backwards" so that the channel 1 indicator in the servo display indi-

cates -100% in the "motor off" position of the "motor / pitch control

stick".

Flight mode

Flight mode has to be set to channel 5. To do this, program a 3-way

switch in the "Control settings" menu on Channel 5 as follows:

Attitude mode

The stick movements acts directly proportionally to Roll and Nick. In

the attitude mode, the maximum inclination angle is limited to

approx. 50° at 100% of the stick travel.
The attitude mode is active as long as the bar of channel 5 is on the

left of +49% in the »Servo display«.
(The 0% shown on the left are based on the switch programming

above.)
Flight mode suggested for beginners.

Rate mode

In this mode, the rate is determined by the rash of the stick without

inclination limit. In this aerobatic mode rolls and loops are possible.
The rate mode is active as soon as the bar of channel 5 in the display

»Servo Display« is +50% or higher.
(The +100% shown on the left are based on the switch programming

above.)
Not suitable for beginners.

Note

The third switch position is required for the autopilot mode

described below and it is available only after the connection of the

optional GPS module No. 33602.
