GRAUPNER mx-12 Hott, Programming Manual

192 Programming example: model helicopter
throttle, and stops again when you move the limiter back
to the idle range.
Suggested refinement: speed governor
At some time you may wish to install a speed governor
(regulator) in your helicopter, e. g. the mc-Heli-Control,
to try flying with a system rotational speed which is
automatically maintained at a constant value. It makes
sense to couple the individual rotor speeds with the
flight phases, as this enables you to carry out further
fine-tuning.
The initial requirement when programming the transmit-
ter is to install and program the speed governor exactly
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Of
course, the
mx-16
HoTT provides further facilities to
allow you to implement different rotational speeds in the
individual flight phases. A practical suggestion, which
includes the throttle limiter function, can be found in the
section starting on page 117.
If you have set up your helicopter as described in this
programming example, you will find that it is capable
of carrying out extremely challenging flight tasks even
though it is not suitable for competition work.
We suggest that you should not make use of additional
functions until your model is flying perfectly, so that you
will be in a position to recognise and appreciate any
improvements. Whenever possible, it is always best to
implement additional refinements one at a time, other-
wise you won’t know which change has brought about
any improvement. Bear in mind that the good pilot is
not recognised by the number of complex functions with
which he can cope, but by the results he can obtain
when flying a relatively simple set-up.
