Setting up fl ight phases
When you set up fl ight phases for fi xed-wing aircraft
models, you start with this menu. You assign individual
phases a name and also assign a period of time for a
(soft) transition into each phase. Note that – depending
on your model and your settings – switch times much
longer than the default 0.1 s have proven useful. You can
also set up several phases with names and transition
times even if you don't currently have a use for them,
since the decision as to which of the "occupied" phases
you activate is made only on the "
Phase assignment "
menu, (page 134) when setting "phase switches".
The "Status" column, second from the left, shows which
one of the phases 1 … 7 has already been assigned to
a switch, plus the current status of that switch:
Symbol Meaning
– No switch assigned
+ Phase can be accessed via switch

Indicates the phase currently active
Note:
The "Copy fl ight phase" option on the "
Copy / Erase "
menu is a useful aid when programming the various
fl ight phases. First, you need to determine the
parameters for a specifi c fl ight phase; these are then
copied to the next fl ight phase, where they can then be
modifi ed as appropriate.
Using the arrow keys on the left or right touch pad,
page to the menu option "
Phase settings " in the multi-
function list:

Tap the center SET key on the right touch pad to open
this menu.
Within one model memory, the
mc-20
HoTT lets you
program up to 7 discrete groups of settings for various
conditions met during the fl ight. The grouped settings
are typically termed "fl ight phases" and are programmed
in the corresponding menus.
Depending on the setting "Throttle min. forward/back"
or "None" in the "Motor on C1" line of the "
Model type "
menu, your transmitter's display will look as follows after
accessing the "Phase settings" menu …

… either the columns "Motor" and "Sw. time" (switch
time) to the right of the column "ph. Tim." (fl . phase
timers) or only the column "Sw. time" will be available for
your settings.
"Name" column
Briefl y tap the center SET key on the right touch pad
and use the arrow keys on the left or right touch pad to
assign the phases your require – phase 1 to max. phase
7 – appropriate names from the selection list.
The order in which phases 1 to max. 7 are assigned is
entirely irrelevant and you can leave gaps as you wish.
Nonetheless, you should always start with "Phase 1",
the "Normal phase", which is always active if …
no phase switch is set on the " • Phase assignment "
menu or if
no phase has been assigned to specifi c combinations
•
of switches.
The defi nition of the phase name "Normal" could
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1".
The names themselves have absolutely no technical
signifi cance for programming; their only purpose is to
help you to identify which phase is active at any time
and are thus displayed in all fl ight phase-dependent
menus and also on the transmitter's basic display.
"ph. Tim." column
In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen
display, other timers are also available, whose settings
are confi gured on the "
Fl. phase timers " menu
(page 142).
Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2
The fl ight phase timers "Clk 1 … 3" plus "Time1" and
"Time2" run only in the fl ight phase to which they have
been assigned in this menu. During other fl ight phases
they are stopped (and hidden) and the assigned stop/
start switch then has no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run through
