FLIGHT CONDITION SWITCHING
Flight control switching is among the most
powerful features available in your PCM 1024Z
system. It is a function that allows you to change
virtually all the models' trims, mix settings, and
responses with the flick of a switch — while your
model is airborne! You can think of this as a
means of switching between as many as eight dif-
ferent model setups as you desire.
All the mixing and deflection angles can be
changed during flight condition switching. You
may pick and choose those settings that result in
the best flight characteristics for your model, and
leave the rest alone.
As an example, you may set up different condi-
tions corresponding to varying crosswind situa-
tions, or you can have different response "feels",
like a reduced control authority for smoother
landings. You may call up an entire group of
settings for a snap roll on a single switch. Helicop-
ters may be set up for best response for aerobatics
and autorotation. Sailplanes may have settings
matched to the very different flight conditions for
launching, normal cruise, speed, distance, and
landing.
You may think of the different condition set-
tings as sheets of paper in a folder, and the trans-
mitter as an envelope with a clear window. As you
select each flight condition, you see its parameters
through the window, and not those of the others.
Each "sheet" can have completely different set-
tings on it.
