8.8 Snap-roll function (SNAP)
Snap-rolls are violent rolling manoe-
uvres. This function allows you to
determine stick positions which result
in a particular manoeuvre when a
switch is operated.
This manoeuvre is then carried out automatically when you opera-
te an external mixer switch (Pin 2). To operate and set up the
manoeuvre this switch or push-button is absolutely essential, and
should be connected before you start the set-up procedure.
-
Move to the Snap Roll menu (SNAP) at the Select level.
-
Press the "S" button to reach the Setup menu level
The screen displays arrows under the
numbers, indicating which control
functions can be assigned a pre-set
position.
-
Press the "H" button to activate the function: "INH" (OFF) now
flashes. Turn the 3-D hotkey to the left to switch the mixer (ON).
The symbol "OFF" or "ON" now appears on the screen, depen
ding on the position of the physical switch. At the same time the
symbol "Mix" appears to indicate that a mixer is switched on.
-
Switch the SNAP function ON.
-
Press the "H" button again, and an arrow appears under the
number 4; the "%" symbol flashes.
-
Now turn the 3-D hotkey to set the desired control surface tra
vel for channel 4 - Rudder. The adjustment range is +/- 100%.
Hold the 3-D hotkey pressed in for 1 second to revert to the
default value of +70%.
-
The settings for the other control functions are made in the
same way; key to the numbers on the screen:
1 = Aileron
2 = Elevator
4 = Rudder
If a mixer for a second aileron has been set up in the WING menu,
both servos are actuated, as you would expect.
The SNAP function cannot be over-ridden, i.e. the control functions
1, 2 and 4 are switched off for the period of time that the SNAP
function is active.
Note:
Switch position 2 has two functions, and affects both V-MIX 2 and
the SNAP-ROLL function.
You should bear this in mind when programming your transmitter.
V-Mix 2 can therefore only be invoked as an alternative to the
SNAP-roll function.
If you wish to use both functions, use another free mixer (V-Mix 1 or
3).
8.9 Landing pre-sets (LAND)
With this option you can determine
the servo position of the landing flaps
or spoilers and the elevator for the
approach phase and landing.
This manoeuvre is carried out when you operate an external mixer
switch (Pin 8). This switch or push-button is essential if you are to
use and adjust this function, and should be connected before you
start the set-up procedure.
-
Move to the LAND menu within the Select level.
-
Press the "S" button to move to the Setup menu level
The screen displays arrows under the
numbers, indicating which control
functions can be assigned a pre-set
position.
-
Press the "H" button to activate the function: "INH" (OFF) now
flashes. Turn the 3-D hotkey to the left to switch the mixer (ON).
The symbol "OFF" or "ON" now appears on the screen, depen
ding on the position of the physical switch. At the same time the
symbol "Mix" appears to indicate that a mixer is switched on.
-
Switch the LAND function ON.
-
Press the "H" button again, and an arrow appears under the
number 2; the "%" symbol flashes.
-
Now turn the 3-D hotkey to set the desired control surface tra
vel for channel 2 - Elevator. The adjustment range is +/- 100%.
Hold the 3-D hotkey pressed in for 1 second to revert to the
default value of +20%.
-
The settings for the other control functions are made in the
same way; key to the numbers on the screen:
1 = Left aileron (landing flap)
2 = Elevator (default 20%)
6 = Right aileron (landing flap)
This function assumes that a mixer to a second aileron has already
been activated in the WING menu.
The pre-set LAND settings can be over-ridden.
The effect of the trim values for channels 1, 2 and 6 varies
according to the output you selected for the 2nd aileron in the
WING menu.
2nd aileron output: channel 6
In this variant the landing position settings affect channels 1, 2 and
6. The settings for the left and right ailerons are carried out separa-
tely.
2nd aileron output: channel 7
In this variant the value which is set for channel 1 affects both chan-
nels (1 and 7). The value entered for channel 6 then only affects
channel 6 as landing flaps. In each case the settings for the ailerons
and flaps are carried out in pairs.
