If you feel that the center position of your self-neutra-
lizing control stick (controls 1 … 4) does not precisely
correspond to 0 % control travel, you can check and
correct it as follows:
As described for example starting on page 45,
initialize a free model memory. Whether the model to be
initialized is a winged aircraft or a helicopter is irrelevant.
Then switch to the submenu "Servo" found in the base
menu without adjusting the trim or performing any addi-
tional programming.
If all four of your transmitter's control stick functions are
still self-neutralizing, this display should ideally look like
the one shown below.

Note:
In contrast to the display of the 12-channel
mz-24 HoTT transmitter in this section, only
channels 1 … 9 are shown in the display of
the 9-channel mz-18 HoTT transmitter.
Otherwise the graph bars show current setting
percentages for stick control functions which are not
self-neutralizing – typically for the "CH1", throttle/brake
or throttle/pitch control stick. For example, if the throttle/
brake control stick is in its "idle LOW" position, the
display would appear as shown below.

One after the other, put both control sticks into each of
their four possible limit positions without exerting force
at the limit position. In each of these eight possible limit
positions, the – side-dependent – indication for exactly
-100% or +100% should be displayed. For example, if
control 2 is at its right limit and the other three other
control stick functions are in their respective middle
positions, then your transmitter's display should look like
the one shown below.

Regardless of the number of self-neutralizing control
stick functions available on your transmitter, if these
checks produce four 0% results and eight 100% results,
then your transmitter's control sticks are optimally
calibrated. You can terminate this process and then, if
appropriate, delete the model memory just created.
Otherwise, switch to the submenu "Stick Cali" of the
system menu in which you can cyclically select the
positions of the four calibratable control stick levels,
starting with the neutral position of the right control stick
system:

The blue point (in the midpoint of the square in the
display above) indicates the control stick position to be
adjusted.
The percentages in white in the red rectangles on the
left of the display under VERTI(cal) and HORIZ(ontal)
indicate the current control stick position.
In the above display, the horizontal, self-neutralizing
right control stick (for example) is precisely in the middle
of its travel. The vertical position is contrastingly angled
rather far toward the pilot since the throttle/brake control
