16. Conversion of the Control Lever Functions
If you want to control a motor-powered flight model with your "HT-10" remote control, the left control lever must not
return to the middle position on its own at forward or reveres movement (throttle/pitch function). It must remain in the
position into which it was last moved. For this, the return mechanic must be deactivated and the control lever move-
ment friction must be enlarged.
To make the necessary changes, some experience with remote control transmitters is required. Therefore you should
consult an experienced model maker or a model construction club if you do not feel capable of undertaking the pro-
cedures described in the following.
Always convert the control lever mechanics (the right control lever mechanics viewed from the rear with
the transmitter open), even if you want to have the throttle/pitch function on the right control lever later! For
further notes in this respect, refer to the following section.
Remove the transmitter batteries. Unscrew the four
screws by means of a Phillips-tip screwdriver from the
rear panel of the transmitter and lift the rear panel care-
fully.
After you have disconnected the plug connector of the
student socket, you can fold the rear of the transmitter
down.
Take a pin (1) and bend the tip into a small hook. You can
use this tool to easily remove the return spring (2) from
the setting hook (3) of the left (the right when viewed
from the rear) control lever mechanics.
Then disconnect the lower end of the return spring at the
return lever (4) and remove the spring. The setting hook
can then be pulled out of the guide upwards.
The return lever cannot be taken out of the mechanics.
Therefore, you should fasten it in its bearing with a nar-
row strip of adhesive type (5) to keep it from slipping and
the lever unit from catching.
Then attach the latching bracket (6) enclosed with the
remote control according to the lower illustration in figure
11. Observe correct installation position of the bracket.
The lower screw (7) must be tightened firmly and the
upper screw (8) only until the desired resistance in the
control lever movement is reached.
When installed correctly, the control lever for the throt-
tle/pitch function always must remain in the position into
which it was last put. Then close the connection plug of the student socket again and place the rear panel on the
transmitter housing.
Tighten the four attachment screws again and check for correct function of the remote control.
