Phase settings

Setting up ﬂ ight phases

Setting up ﬂ ight phases

When you set up ﬂ ight phases for ﬁ xed-wing
aircraft models, you start with this menu. You
assign individual phases a name and also assign
a period of time for a (soft) transition into each
phase. Note that – depending on your model and
your settings – switch times much longer than the
default 0.1 s have proven useful. You can also set up
several phases with names and transition times even
if you don't currently have a use for them, since the
decision as to which of the "occupied" phases you
activate is made only on the »

Phase assignment

menu (page 148) when setting "phase switches".
Whether or not one of the phases 1 … 8 currently has
an assigned switch and the state of the switch can be
seen in the "status" column at the far right.

Note:
The "Copy ﬂ ight phase" option on the »

Copy / Erase

menu is a useful aid when programming the various
ﬂ ight phases. First, you need to determine the
parameters for a speciﬁ c ﬂ ight phase; these are then
copied to the next ﬂ ight phase, where they can then be
modiﬁ ed as appropriate.

HoTT lets

you program up to 8 discrete groups of settings for
various conditions met during the ﬂ ight. The grouped
settings are typically termed "ﬂ ight phases" and are
programmed in the corresponding menus.

The order in which phases 1 to max. 8 are assigned is
entirely irrelevant and you can leave gaps as you wish.
Nonetheless, you should always start with "Phase 1",
the "Normal phase", which is always active if …

combinations of switches.

The deﬁ nition of the phase name "Normal" could
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1".
The names themselves have absolutely no technical
signiﬁ cance for programming; their only purpose is to
help you to identify which phase is active at any time
and are thus displayed in all ﬂ ight phase-dependent
menus and also on the transmitter's basic display.

Column "Fl.ph.Tim" or "Timer"

In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen
display, other timers are also available whose settings
are conﬁ gured in the »

Flight phase timers

« menu,

page 156.

Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2

The ﬂ ight phase timers "Clk 1 … 3" plus "Time1"
and "Time2" run only in the ﬂ ight phase to which
they have been assigned in this menu. During other
ﬂ ight phases they are stopped (and hidden) and the
assigned stop/start switch then has no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run
through changes of phase, however, although it can
be stopped during any ﬂ ight phase via the center

ESC

key of the left touch pad.

While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap"
and a switch, the two timers "Time1" and "Time2"
have the following meaning:

Time 1

This timer will only measure time during which
the switch or control switch assigned in the "Lap
time/Tim tab" line of the »

menu, page 156, is "closed". The frequency at
which the switch is activated is shown on the
