Tip:
When using an electric motor the motor run is usually
limited by the capacity of the battery, and in this case
you would normally set the stopwatch to “count down”.
Simply enter the maximum permitted motor run in the
“clock” column, e. g. “5 min.”. As described on pages 48
and 53, the piezo buzzer starts to emit warning tones
“30 sec” before “zero”.

With the stopwatch halted, press the CLEAR button
in the basic display, so that the stopwatch switches to
the “Timer” function. The timer can now be started and
stopped using the throttle control.
Alternatively, if you control your motor using one of the
switches SW 1 … 4 or 6/7, as described in
Examples 2
and 3 , you do not need any of the previously described
control switches. All you need to do is locate the switch
which you use to turn your motor on and off, and assign
the same switch to the “clocks”, with the same switching
direction, so that they start running at the same moment
as you turn the motor on.
In contrast, if you have decided on the solution de-
scribed in
Example 1 , then unfortunately there is no al-
ternative but to operate the motor and timers separately.
If, following on from the model programming described
on the preceding pages, you have decided on
Example
4 , or you are using the Ch 1 stick (throttle / brake stick)
to control motor power – independently of this program-
ming example – then you can use the associated control
switch to turn the stopwatch on and off automatically.
To assign this control switch, move the Ch 1 stick to the
Idle position, then move to the “clock” line in the …

Select the switch symbol and press the rotary cylinder
briefl y to activate the switch assignment. Now move the
throttle / brake stick from its idle position in the direction
of “full throttle”. After a short period the switch “C1l” or
“C2l” will appear on the screen as a switch at a particu-
lar position of the Ch 1 stick. If you now move the stick
back towards idle, you will see that the switch symbol
changes again at around 80% of stick travel: between
the “idle position” and the switching point the switch
symbol is “open”, beyond this it is “closed” (“Control
switches”: see page 33.)
If you now return to the transmitter’s basic display to
check the system, you will see that the stopwatch and
fl ight timer start running when you move the stick past
the switching point in the direction of full-throttle, and
that the
stopwatch alone halts again when you move the
stick back to the idle position.
When the stopwatch is halted, you can stop the fl ight
