20 Description of transmitter: screen contrast, position display, servo display
Holding the rotary cylinder pressed in while you are at
the transmitter’s basic display calls up a visual display of
the current positions of the two INC / DEC buttons (CTRL
5 + 6). This display disappears again when you release
the rotary cylinder. At the same time a small symbol ap-
pears on the left, adjacent to the channel display:
When you hold the rotary cylinder pressed in, the posi-
tion display on the basic transmitter screen (consisting
of the two central vertical bars) also changes: it switches
from a display of the current trim position to the cur-
rent position of the INC / DEC buttons, CTRL 5 + 6, but
only for as long as you hold the rotary cylinder pressed
in. Since the position of these two controls is stored
separately for reach fl ight phase, you will need to switch
between the individual fl ight phases if you wish to see
the positions in those phases.
As you would expect, the left-hand bar represents the
position of the INC / DEC button CTRL 6, located to
the left of the aerial base, and the right-hand bar shows
the position of CTRL 5 (however, both horizontal bars
continue to show the current position of the correspond-
ing transmitter stick trim levers):

As soon as you release the rotary cylinder, the screen
reverts to a display of the current position of the four trim
levers of the two dual-axis stick units.

The contrast of the

is variable, to ensure that you can read the information
clearly in all weathers and at all temperatures.
Adjust the control by holding the rotary cylinder pressed
in and rotating it when the transmitter screen is showing
the basic display: turn it to left or right as required:

This display shows the current position of every servo
in the form of a bar diagram, taking into account the
transmitter control and servo settings, the Dual Rate /
Expo functions, the inter-action of all active mixers etc..
The display is accurate, and covers the range -150%
to +150% of normal travel. 0% means the exact centre
position. This allows you to check your settings quickly
without even having to switch the receiver on. However,
this does not mean that you don’t need to bother check-
ing all the programming steps on the model; you must
do this carefully before operating it for the fi rst time, as
this is the only reliable method of picking up and correct-
ing errors.
For fi xed-wing model aircraft the display shows the
information arranged in the following way:
Bar 1 = Throttle / brake servo
Bar 2 = Aileron or left aileron
Bar 3 = Elevator
Bar 4 = Rudder
Bar 5 = Right aileron
Bar 6 = (Left) camber-changing fl ap / free channel
Bar 7 = Right camber-changing fl ap / free channel
Bar 8 = Free channel /second elevator servo
