Within one model memory, the
mx-20
HoTT lets you
program up to 6 discrete groups of settings for various
conditions met during the fl ight. These are in addition to
the auto-rotation fl ight phase that can be set up in the
"
Base setup model " menu. The grouped settings are
typically termed "fl ight phases" and are programmed in
the corresponding menus.
Setting up fl ight phases
When you set up fl ight phases for helicopter 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
Phase settings
Setting up fl ight phases
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 … 6 has already been assigned to
a switch, plus the current status of that switch:

+ 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.
"Name" column
The fi rst line, and thus the fl ight phase with top priority,
is reserved for auto-rotation fl ight – see the "
Base setup
model " menu. Accordingly, the predefi ned name cannot
be changed.
Use the arrow keys to move to the line "Pha1". 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
each of the phases your require – phase 1 to max.
phase 6 – an appropriate name from the selection list.
The order in which phases 1 to max. 6 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
(page142).
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
changes of phase, however, although it can be stopped
during any fl ight phase via the center
ESC key on the
left touch pad.
While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap"
and a switch (SW), the two timers "Time1" and "Time2"
have the following meaning:
Time1 Only the times are measured at which the switch
or control switch assigned in the "Lap timer/
timer" line of the "
Fl. phase timers " menu (see
