5. The operating philosophy

5.1. Introduction

In the development of the COCKPIT

we gave priority to useful, practical adjustment

facilities and mixer functions in conjunction with a simple, easily understood

method of programming which could be implemented quickly. The two elements

which form the basis of programming the COCKPIT

are the 3D digital adjustor and

the LCD screen, which clearly and unambiguously shows the settings you have

selected.

All programming is based on ready-made menus. This is the simplest method of

programming, and is quick and easy to learn. Just select the menu you wish to use,

and then activate and adjust the settings. To do this all you need to use is the 3D

digi-adjustor: rotate it to leaf through menus, view settings and select values; press

it to change levels and switch from line 1 to 2 and back again.

The COCKPIT

offers a wide range of settings, and as this could be confusing they

have been assigned to two separate model types:

• UNIversal model type (U)

• HELIcopter model type (H)

The first step is always to define the type of model you wish to control, i.e. to select

the appropriate model type, as this makes available the settings appropriate to that

model, and suppresses irrelevant functions. This guarantees a high level of clarity in

the programming procedure. The settings are assigned to six different menus, again

with the purpose of keeping the process simple and easy to understand.

The table below represents a summary of these programming instructions in the

form of a flow chart covering the menu structure, together with a short-hand indi-

cation of how to operate the 3D digi-adjustor to move through the menus.

Keep this flow chart to

hand at all times when

you are programming

your COCKPIT

for the

first time. You will find it

a useful guide and re-

minder, and you will

soon find that you intui-

tively know how to

manipulate the 3D digi-

adjustor to get the

results you want.
