12. Creating a new model
12.1. Basic information
With the ROYALevo you create a new model by select-
ing a model template. A total of eight model templates,
or sample models, are available, sub-divided into fixed-
wing and helicopters (detailed description of model
templates Î from 12.4. on):
1. BASIC 7. HELImech
2. ACRO 8. HELIccpm
3. HOTLINER
4. DELTA
5. GLIDER
6. 4 FLAPS
The values defined by the template serve as starting
points, and have to be adjusted to suit your model. All
the settings and definitions can be altered at any time
and changed in any way you wish.
" Take it in easy stages "
When you wish to create a new model with the
ROYALevo there are various ways you can proceed. In
our opinion the procedures described in the following
sections for fixed-wing models (Î 12.2.) and helicop-
ters (Î 12.3.) are the swiftest means of getting to your
destination.
12.2. A new fixed-wing model
Step
n
Creating a new memory
New models are created by moving to the sub-menu
New Model in the I Memory menu (Î18.6.).
This is the procedure once you have reached this menu:
1. The software automatically selects the first vacant
spot memory for the new model.
(Parameter Memory nr.)
2. You select a template to suit the model
(Parameter Template).
From the eight available model templates select
the one which is closest to your model (description
of model templates Î 0.)
3. Choose the servo type and the servo assignment
(sequence) at the receiver.
(Parameter Servo conf.)
4. Select your preferred control mode (stick mode)
(Parameter Mode)
5. Select an assignment list (which transmitter con-
trols operate the various functions).
(Parameter Assignment)
!
Note re. assignment list
In each case you must use the stated assignment
list (from the three lists available) depending on
the model template you have selected. If you do
not do this, the model template cannot be guaran-
teed to function as described in the text (Î 12.4.).

TIP: Changing the assignment
If the default assignment of transmitter controls and
switches does not meet your requirements, you can
change the set-up at any time.
(Î 13.3. L Setup, Assignment)
6. Leave the menu by selecting OK;
you have successfully created the new model.
Step
o
Entering the model name
The model is assigned a name in the menu
I Memory/Properties (Î 18.5.)
Step
p
Connecting servos
Connect the servos, speed controller, ... to the receiver,
keeping to the sequence of receiver outputs described
in the model template. The receiver output sequence
can be checked in the menu K Servo/Assignment
(Î 16.2.).
!
Note:
If you wish to connect devices (servos, speed control-
lers, ...) designed for different signal formats, you can
change this parameter separately for each channel in
the menu K Servo/Assignment ( Î 16.2.).

TIP:
In the same menu you can also change the assignment
of the receiver outputs if necessary (in sequence and/or
function).
Step
q
Switch on transmitter and receiver
!
Note the correct sequence when switching on!
Always switch on the transmitter first,
and only then the receiver.
!
Caution!
Injury hazard: power systems
may burst into life!
In principle you can now control your model, but in fact
you need to set up the various values to suit the model
in question.
Step
r
Calibrating the servos
Please work with the greatest care when calibrating.
Your model will only respond accurately to the con-
trols if the servos are correctly calibrated.
The servos are calibrated in the menu
K Servo, Calibrate ( Î 16.1.).
Step
s
Setting up mixers
The mixers are set up in the menu G Mixer. This menu
is dynamic in nature, i.e. in the interests of clarity the
screen only displays the mixers used in the current mo-
del. The values assigned to the mixers in the model
templates are default (standard) values, and they will
n e e d t o b e a d j u s t e d t o s u i t y o u r m o d e l .
Please refer to Section Î 15 for all you need to know on
the subject of setting up mixers.
