Press short RIGHT to enter the first of the Model Setup pages for the chosen model.
Don’t be surprised if you see an ALERT screen telling you that switches need to be moved to safe
positions. The default switch settings in Ersky9x are associated with individual models and thus may
vary from one to another. They are checked every time you change models, not just when the
transmitter is turned on. This is an important safety feature but can be turned off if desired. The
throttle position is also checked when the active model is changed.
If a blank memory slot is made the active model, a basic fixed wing model based on the simple four-
channel template (see page 41) is created by defining standard mixes for channels 1 through 4. The
new model is initially named MODEL XX, where XX is the slot number.
Other Commands
Note that the commands in the Model Select menu (SELECT, COPY, etc.) apply to the model whose
number you have highlighted (which may not be the active model).
To COPY a model, highlight it and press MENU. Choose COPY and press MENU again to confirm
that you want to proceed with the duplication. The copy will be created in the first available blank
slot.
To MOVE a model, highlight it and press MENU. Choose MOVE, press MENU again. Use the
UP/DOWN keys to move it to a different memory slot and press MENU to drop the model there.
Moving a model will not overwrite other models.
To DELETE a model, highlight it and press MENU. Choose DELETE and press MENU. You will be
asked to confirm. Deleting a model moves up the models below it in the list. Note that you cannot
delete the active model; you first need to make another model the active one.
To BACKUP a model to the Micro-SD card, highlight it, press MENU and choose BACKUP. Press
MENU to complete the action. You will see “MESSAGE: MODEL SAVED” on the transmitter screen.
To RESTORE a model from a backup file, highlight a blank memory slot, press MENU and choose
RESTORE. Highlight the model you want to restore and press MENU. You will see “MESSAGE:
MODEL RESTORED” on the transmitter screen. Note that you can`t use Restore to replace an
existing model without first deleting that model.
Backup files are saved on the SD card with a “.eepm” extension in a folder called MODELS. They
can be copied to the computer via USB or by using the SD card for the transfer (see
Communicating
with a Computer
).
In addition, .eepm files (which contain a single model) can be imported from the SD card into the
Eepskye program. There they can be edited and saved to the SD card, the computer or the
transmitter’s EEPROM file. See the manual
Using Eepskye
.
