Within one model memory, the

HoTT lets

you program up to 7 discrete groups of settings for
various conditions met during the ﬂ ight. These are in
addition to the auto-rotation ﬂ ight phase that can be
set up in the »

Basic settings, model

« menu. The

grouped settings are typically termed "ﬂ ight phases"
and are programmed in appropriate menus.

Setting up ﬂ ight phases

When you set up ﬂ ight phases for helicopter 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

Phase settings

Setting up ﬂ ight phases

"occupied" phases you activate is made only on the

Phase assignment

« menu (page 148) when setting

"phase switches".
The "Status" column, second from the left, shows which
one of the phases 1 … 7, including the autorotation
phase this is 8, has already been assigned to a switch,
plus the current status of that switch:

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.

"Name" column

The ﬁ rst line, and thus the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight phase, is
reserved for autorotation ﬂ ight, see »

Use the selection keys to move to the line "Phase 1".

pad then assign the needed phase (phase 1 up to
maximum of 7 phases) by picking the respective
name from the selection list with the selection keys of
the left or right touch pad. In addition to this standard
pool of names, the »

General basic settings

« menu,

page 261, permits up to 10 names of personal
preference to be deﬁ ned.
The order in which phases 1 to max. 7 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.

"ph. Tim." column

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:

Time1

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 basic display. This counter
ﬁ eld is highlighted as soon as the switch for
the "Time1" timer is "opened", i.e. the timer is
stopped:
