FUNCTION MODE -
Functions Common to GLIDER, ACRO and HELI model types
Programs found in the function mode are more
frequently used. Not only are these functions used
during initial setup, but many of these are commonly
adjusted at the field to change/optimize the flight
characteristics and response of an aircraft.
To enter function modes, turn on the transmitter then
press the ENT button. To enter the function list mode,
press the list mode after the function mode has been
selected
This section describes the functions that are common to
all 3 model types, ie. the Trainer and Fail safe
functions, and the Throttle Cut and Trim Select funtion
common to the Heli and Acro functions. Functions that
are specific to each model type are covered in the each
of the glider, acro and heli sections.
Throttle Cut and Trim Select
The PCM9X II features an intelligent throttle trim as well
as a throttle cut function. One or the other can be
activated at a time. The throttle cut function turns the
trainer switch into an engine kill switch.
The trim select allows the throttle trim to remember a
predetermined position. When a good idle point is found
with the trim, activate the trim memory. This allows
stopping of the engine with the throttle trim, but one
click forwards on the trim will return the digital trim to
the predetermined idle position.
