As long as the
AUX
switch is maintained in the center position, the ECU continues
functioning in
thrust control
mode and turbine thrust can only be determined by the
throttle stick position.
Available options:
Value
Explanation
Hold-Speed
Maintains the current flight speed.
Flight speed is measured at the time the
AUX
switch is placed in
the
SW0
position. This action establishes the ECU in
speed
control
mode (i.e.: the model maintains the flight speed measured
at the time the mode is activated, despite the throttle stick position).
This mode remains active until the
AUX
switch is returned to the
SW1
position.
WARNING:
When the
AUX
switch is set in the
SW0
position, the
model must be flying faster than 40 km/h, otherwise the turbine will
shut off.
DISABLED/NONE
No function.
Thrust control
mode remains active.
Turbine OFF
Immediately shuts down turbine. Normal
thrust control
mode
remains active.
LrnSpeed Lo/Hi
Learns the current flight speed.
•
If the throttle stick is set at less than half throttle and the
AUX
switch is momentarily placed in the
SW0
position, the current
flight speed is assigned and recorded as the Min.AirSpeed
parameter.
•
If the throttle stick is set at greater than half throttle and the
AUX
switch is momentarily placed in the
SW0
position, the
current flight speed is assigned and recorded as the
Max.AirSpeed parameter.
By momentarily activating the
AUX
switch, this option makes it
possible to store a particular slow or fast model speed, while in
flight. These values then become the parameters for the
Cruise
Control
mode, plus the operator can also display the values in the
limits
menu, after landing.
WARNING:
When the
AUX
switch is set in the
SW0
position, the
model must be flying faster than 40 km/h, otherwise the turbine will
shut off.
