304 Programming examples - Using flight phases

on C1 forward / back” in the »Model type« menu,
page 104, AND the “Motor” column of the »Phase
settings« menu, page 152, are set to “yes” for the
currently active flight phase. Change the flight phase,
if applicable.

• Crow

Further above in this text section, the C1 stick was
set for brake system steering.
In this line you determine the share with which
the AI and FL should be included on actuation of
C1 in the manner that both ailerons are deflected
“slightly” upward and both flaps are deflected as
far downward as possible.
Now with a simultaneous tap on the



keys of

the left four-way button, a change to the »Servo
display« menu can be affected for observation of
servo movements and, in particular, to ensure that
no influence on the flaps takes place above the
adjusted brake offset, e. g. +90 % and beyond to
the throw limit of the C1 control (“Idle travel” of the
C1 stick).

• D.red

The value previously entered into the aileron dif-
ferentiation line should also be entered in this

“

Dif-

ferentiation reduction

”

line to fade this out during

braking.

• Elevat. curve

This line is used for the entry of any correction fac-
tor that may be required for the elevator, see page
185.

Insofar as necessary, again check all flap throws and,
by way of the »Servo adjustment« menu, adjust the
servo center, the servo travel and the travel limit.
It may also be time to start the initial flight testing,
insofar as all global settings – that is to say, all flight-
phase independent settings – are completed.

Two additional flight phases are now to be set up
below, each of which requires a somewhat differ-
ent flap position.

Therefore, switch to the menu …

»Phase settings«

(page 152)

… and activate the assignment of phase names in the
“Name” column with a brief tap on the center

of the right four-way button:

Now give Phase 1 – the “Normal phase” – that is also
the phase which includes the previous settings, the
name “Normal”, which you select from a list with the
selection keys.
Phase 2 is given the name “Thermal” and Phase 3 is
given the name “Speed”. Now conclude the entries
with a brief tap on the

ESC

key of the left four-way

button or the

SET

key of the right four-way button:

Now move the marker frame beyond the “ph.Tim”
column to the right into the column “Sw. time” and set
a “switching time” from any other phase into the given
phase in order to avoid an abrupt phase change; in
other words to avoid erratic changes of flap positions.
Now try out different switching times. In this example
we have specified 1 s in each case:

Whether or not one of the phases 1 … 7 currently has
an assigned switch and the state of the switch can
be seen in the “status” column at the second column
from left:

Since, except for phase 1, all other phases are still
designated with a “–” symbol, now switch in the menu
…

»Phase assignment«

(page 158)

… and assign the previously defined flight phases
to appropriate switches with which a selection from
among three phases is possible.
Since there is no particular priority here, assign for
example switch “C” in the display to one of the two
end settings of one of the two 3-way switches. Af-
terward put the selected switch again into its middle
position, activate the switch assignment under “D”
then move the selected 3-way switch again out of its
middle position and into the other end position, as
shown below:
