In the third column you can adjust servo travel to suit the

The last stage is to check the settings, so move from
the basic display to “
Servo display ” by simultaneously
touching the
ef
buttons of the left-hand touch-key: in
the switch’s “OFF” position, the control channel you have
selected - in our example this is channel “8” - should be
at -100%, and at the “full-throttle” setting at +100%.
Example 3
Using one of the three-position switches SW 4/5 or
6/7
This variant implements a three-stage solution for
switching an electric motor on and off, and also results
in an “abrupt “ motor start-up … unless the speed con-
troller you are using features what is known as a “soft
start” function.
At the receiving end you need a suitable speed controller.
Example 2
Using a two-position switch, SW 2, 3 or 8
This variant implements a pure ON / OFF function, and
results in the motor starting “abruptly” … unless the
speed controller you are using features what is known
as a “soft start” function.
At the receiving end you need either a simple electronic
switch or - if you want a smoother motor start - a suit-
able speed controller.
The settings for this arrangement are entered in the …
“Transmitter control settings” menu (page 74)
First check which receiver socket (5 or higher) is avail-
able for connection to your speed controller. If you have
assigned two aileron servos in the “
Basic settings ”
menu, and if you have not connected any other auxiliary
function, then this would be channel 6; if your model
features two aileron servos and two fl ap servos, then
channel 8 would be available for connecting the speed
controller; the latter option is the one we wish to use in
this example.
First set the selected switch to the “OFF” position, then
use the arrow buttons
cd
of the left or right-hand
touch-key to select the desired line in the menu. Touch
the central
SET button of the right-hand touch-key to
activate “Switch / transmitter control assignment”, then
move the selected switch from the “OFF” position to
the “ON” position. The highlighted fi eld now shows the
switch number together with a symbol which indicates
the direction of switching:
