How OpenTx handles inputs
:
Starting with the first Input line, OpenTx reads the flight mode and/or switch. If these
correspond to the actual FM and switch states, OpenTx uses the rate and expo values specified in that line.
If there is no match, OpenTx advances to the next line and repeats the test. The cycle is repeated until either a match
is found or the end of the input list is reached.
If no match is found in any line, the control will be inoperative
. As a
defence against this possibility, the last line
must
be a ‘CATCHALL’ with
all flightmodes checked and no switch
.
If both flightmode and switch are specified in the same line, both must match for the line to be active.

Adjusting crow stick deadband
The crow stick response incorporates some deadband at the idle end to help prevent accidental
deployment. The default value should be fine for most pilots; however it can be adjusted as follows:
1.
Go to Curves menu
2.
Open Curve4:CCt
3.
Adjust pt2 -> X. Decrease value to increase the deadband. Default value is 90.
11.8
Selecting an alternative arming method
New in version 3 is the ability to select between three different arming/disarming methods. Selection is by
altering the first parameter of logical switches L4 and L5. You can also choose which switch to use.
Safety
note:
If you’re not 100% confident with data entry, then stick with the default setup.
11.8.1
Method 1(default): stick in corner, pull SH
To arm
: motor lever off. Full back on elevator stick, full right aileron, pull SH and hold until confirmation
To disarm
: pull SH until disarm confirmation
This method is the default, and it works like previous versions of ESP. It is the most secure method, and is
recommended for beginners and sport flyers.
Settings
: L4: V1 =
L30
L5: V1 =
L31
L2: V1= spring switch↓.
Safety note
: use a spring switch only
(not a regular 2- or 3-p switch).
11.8.2
Method 2: Pull SH
To arm
: motor lever off. Pull SH until arming confirmation
To disarm
: pull SH until disarming confirmation
This method is better suited if you need to disarm and re-arm in flight.
Settings
: L4: V1 =
L35
L5: V1 =
L36
L2: V1= spring switch↓.
Safety note
: use a spring switch only
(not a regular 2- or 3-p switch).
11.8.3
Method 3: Two-position switch
To arm
: motor lever off, SF down.
To disarm
: SF up
This method offers fast arming/disarming whether on the ground on in the air. At startup, the motor will be
disarmed irrespective of the position of SF, so switch checks are not required.
This method is inherently
less secure than the first two, and is for experienced flyers only.
Settings
: L4: V1 =
L38
L5: V1 =
L39
L3: V1= 2- or 3-pos switch. Default is SF↓
