GRAUPNER mx-16 HOTT, Programming Manual

Page: 172 / 180

172 Programming example: model helicopter
when you move the throttle limit slider towards full-
throttle, and stops again when you move the limiter back
to the idle range.
Suggested refi nement: 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 fl ying with a system rotational speed which is
automatically maintained at a constant value. It makes
sense to couple the individual rotor speeds with the
fl ight phases, as this enables you to carry out further
fi ne-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 fl ight phases. A practical suggestion, which
includes the throttle limiter function, can be found in the
section starting on page 97.
If you have set up your helicopter as described in this
programming example, you will fi nd that it is capable
of carrying out extremely challenging fl ight 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 fl ying perfectly, so that you
will be in a position to recognise and appreciate any
improvements. Whenever possible, it is always best to
implement additional refi nements 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 fl ying a relatively simple set-up.
