19. Setting up a new model
19.1. Introduction
When you set up a new model the ROYALevo7 helps
you by presenting a set of model templates. Eight dif-
ferent templates are available:
Templates for
standard and
fixed-wing models
Templates for
model
helicopters
1. BASIC1 7. HELImech
2. BASIC2 8. HELIccpm
3. ACRO
4. DELTA
5. GLIDER
6. 4 FLAPS
Setting up a new model based on a model template is
very simple, as all parameters and menus not required
for the selected model type are suppressed. This en-
sures that the menu system is always as clear and sim-
ple as possible, and goes a long way to avoiding pro-
gramming errors.
A detailed description of model templates and their ap-
plications, together with full information and set-up fa-
cilities, are found on the section starting with Î 20.
“Step by step to your destination”
There are various ways of proceeding when you are set-
ting up a new model. The following procedures for
fixed-wing models (Î 19.2.) and helicopters (Î 19.3.)
describe the method which in our opinion takes you to
the finishing post most quickly.
19.2. A new (fixed-wing) model
Step n Setting up a new memory
A new model is initially set up in Menu I Memory, in the
New Model sub-menu (Î 18.6.).
In this menu the following happens:
1. The first empty memory is automatically selected
for the new model.
(
Memory No. parameter Î 18.6.1.)
2. Select a model template to suit the new model.
(
Template parameter Î 18.6.2.)
From the eight templates available pick the one
which comes closest to your model.
(Description of model templates Î 20.)
3. Select the manufacturer-specific servo sequence at
the receiver (from MULTIPLEX HiTEC, Futaba or JR)
(
Servo config parameter Î 18.6.3.)
4. Select your preferred stick mode, i.e. which stick is
to control which model function (e.g. throttle right
or left, aileron right or left, …)
(
Mode parameter Î 18.6.4.)
5. Leave the menu by selecting
OK
 this completes setting up the new model.
6. In the Control sub-menu of the Setup menu, select
the control neutral settings for:
Thr. min Idle
Spoiler min retracted
(no braking effect)
(Î 13.3.3. und 13.3.4.)
Step
o Entering a model name
Enter the model’s name in the menu:
I
Memory / Properties.
(
Name parameter Î 18.5.6.)
Step
p Connecting the servos
Connect the model’s servos, speed controller etc. to the
receiver, taking care to use the socket sequence de-
scribed in the model template which you selected when
you initially set up the new model (
Servo config.
parameter). The channel sequence can also be seen in
Menu K
Servo / Assignment.
 TIP:
Not all receiver channel assignments are fixed; some
channels can be altered, i.e. they are unused and can be
assigned freely. For example, you can assign a throttle
or aero-tow channel if necessary for a glider or electric-
powered glider. You can assign additional functions to
the servo channels which are not in use by basic func-
tions (e.g. retracts, second elevator servo, aero-tow, va-
cant AUX channels, …). Changes to the servo assign-
ment can be made in Menu K
Servo / Assign-
ment
( Î 16.2.).
Note:
If you wish to connect devices (servos, speed controller,
…) which vary in signal format, it is possible to set up
each channel separately (options: UNI / MPX) in Menu K
Servo / Assignment
( Î 16.2.).
Step
q Switching on the transmitter and receiver
! Always keep to the standard sequence!
Always switch the transmitter on first,
and only then the receiver.
! Caution!
Injury hazard from motors bursting into life.
Check carefully that there is no danger of a motor
starting up accidentally when you switch on.
The model will now respond to control commands from
the transmitter. However, all the settings (servo direc-
tion, neutral setting, control surface travels) still have to
be checked and adjusted.
Step
r Calibrating the servos
The term “calibration” in this connection means adjust-
ing the following features of the servos:
- Direction of rotation
- Centre setting
- End-points
The servos are calibrated in Menu K
Servo, Cali-
brate
( Î 16.1.)
Note:
Please take great care when calibrating the servos. They
can only work accurately enough to provide precise
control of your model if this process is carried out prop-
erly and carefully. “Measuring is always better than
guessing!”
