Operating timers using a stick function or switch
Programming examples: Fixed-wing model
Examples 4 and 5 on the preceding pages
If you have been following the example of model pro-
gramming described on the preceding pages, and de-
cided to adopt Example 4 (page 167) or 5 (page 169),
or if you are using the C1 stick (throttle / brake stick)
to control the power system regardless of these pro-
gramming examples, you can use a control switch to
turn the stopwatch on and off automatically.
The two control switches “G1” or “G2” are pre-pro-
grammed to the C1 stick. To assign one of them to the
timer you wish to use, move to the menu …

… and select the “Stopwatch” line by holding the ro-
tary control pressed in. Assign one of the control swit-
ches “G1” or “G2” to the selected timer by moving the
C1 stick from the desired motor “OFF” position in the
direction of motor “ON”.
The stopwatch in the basic display will now start run-
ning when you move the C1 stick in the direction of
full-throttle. It will stop again when you move the C1
stick back beyond the switching point.

gramming described on the preceding pages and de-
cided to adopt Example 1, as described on page 166,

G3 to G8 with the rotary control pressed in. Press the
rotary control with the left-hand
SEL fi eld highlighted,
and then simply move the associated side-mounted
proportional control, e. g. CONTROL 10, from the mo-
tor “OFF” position in the direction of motor “ON”.
Now use the rotary control to move to the STO fi eld,
and move the selected transmitter control close to the
motor “OFF” position (e. g. move the proportional con-
trol back towards you) …

shown “closed”, and below it, “open”.

The stopwatch in the basic display now starts when
you move the transmitter control towards full-throttle,
and stops when you move it back again.
Examples 2 and 3 on the preceding pages
If you prefer to control your motor with a switch, then
you do not need any of the control switches just de-
scribed. All you have to do is assign the same switch
to the stopwatch, so that the timer starts running
when you switch the motor on.
Tip:
When using an electric motor, the motor run is usu-
ally 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 time in the “Timer” column, e. g. “5 min.”, and set
the transmitter to emit warning tones shortly before
