16.18 FLIGHT MODE HOLD
The purpose of this function is to enable you to change the
settings in a different flight mode. The motor is held at the ‘idle’
setting, to prevent it being switched on accidentally.
CND HOLD can only be activated when the “Normal” flight
mode is selected, and only if the throttle stick is at the idle
position.
As soon as you activate CND HOLD, the transmitter sounds a
warning signal which alerts you to the fact that the throttle
servo or speed controller will not respond if you move the
throttle stick. You can now switch to the flight mode you wish
to adjust, and change any settings you wish.
Activating this function sets the throttle servo to a fixed, pre-
set position. This means that you must disable the ‘COND.
HOLD’ function if you actually wish to carry out adjustments to
the channel which operates the throttle servo.
Note that CND HOLD cannot be activated or disabled if:
- a flight mode switch has already been switched on, or
- the throttle stick is at a value higher than 1/3 of full stick
travel.
This option is controlled from the Start display for model heli-
copters.
To select the throttle setting you must first mark the field with
the cursor button, and then move the throttle stick to the des-
ired position. Note that the selected stick position must be
lower than 1/3 of stick travel. Pressing the ‘ENTER’ button
now activates the CND HOLD function.
The status of this option is shown in the base display. This is
the meaning of the display:
• Flight mode Hold on:
flight mode hold switched on
• Flight mode Hold off:
flight mode hold switched off
