Example 3
Using the three-position switch SW 6/7
This variant implements a three-stage solution for swit-
ching an electric motor on and off, and results in an “ab-
rupt “ motor start-up … unless the speed controller you
are using features what is known as a “soft start” func-
tion.
At the receiving end you need a suitable speed control-
ler.
First check which receiver socket (5 or higher) is avai-
lable for you to connect your speed controller. If you
have assigned two aileron servos in the »
Base set-
tings « 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 will use
in this example.
Move to the menu …
»Control settings« (page 50)
Hold the SELECT button pressed in, and use the right-
hand rocker button to select the desired input. Press SE-
LECT again to activate “Switch / transmitter control assi-
gnment”. Now move the switch SW 6/7. The highlighted
fi eld now shows “Transmitter control 8”.
In the third column you can adjust servo travel to suit the
speed controller you are using; alternatively you could
use the “Servo travel” column in the menu …

The last stage is to check the settings, so move to the
basic display and then on to »
Servo display «. In the
“OFF” position of the switch, 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%.

The last stage is to check the settings, so move to the
basic display and then on to »
Servo display «. In the
(upper) “OFF” position of the three-position switch the
control channel you have selected – in our example this
is channel “8” – should be at -100%. If you now move
the switch to the centre position, the bar should be in the
middle, and at the (lower) “full-throttle” setting it should
be at +100%.
