Setting up the transmitter controls
The transmitter controls are set up in the H Control.
Like the Mixer menu, this menu is dynamic in nature, i.e.
in the interests of clarity the screen only displays the
transmitter controls used for the current model.

Pre-flight checks
Your newly created model is now ready to fly. Before
you operate the model for the first time be sure to test
all the working systems carefully.
You will probably need to fine-tune various aspects of
the control system, especially relating to mixers and
transmitter control settings, and this is done during the
test-flying process. Don’t be tempted to make changes
in a menu while the model is in the air. The safe, con-
venient method of altering values is to use the 3-D digi-
adjustor (Î 10.2.2.).
Step
v
Activating flight phases
Once you have test-flown the model in one flight phase
(usually the Normal flight phase) and successfully
trimmed it out, with all the mixer and transmitter con-
trol values set to your satisfaction, you can consider
setting up additional flight phases (if you wish). Flight
phases enable you to optimise the model for use in
different flight situations. The first step is to activate a
new flight phase and copy the values from the first
flight phase into the newly activated phase (Î 18.4).
The transmitter control settings can now be adjusted (H
Control menu) to suit the new task. All the transmitter
control settings marked with a small number (1 …4) can
be adjusted separately for each flight phase (Î 14).
12.3. A new helicopter
!
Safety note
Radio-controlled model helicopters are technically de-
manding flying machines which require fastidious set-
ting up, maintenance and general care. If operated in-
competently or irresponsibly they represent a serious
hazard.
If you are a beginner we recommend that you:
x Contact an experienced model pilot, your local
model club or a model flying school, and ask for
help.
x Ask your local model shop for advice.
x Increase your knowledge by reading all you can
find on the subject.

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 two available model helicopter tem-
plates select the one which is closest to your
model:
HELImech
Model with
mechanical rotor head mixing
Heliccpm
Model with electronic rotor head
mixing (CCPM); at this stage the type
of swashplate (e.g. 3-point 120°, 3-
point 90°, 4-point 90°, ...) does not
matter. Setting up the appropriate
swashplate is carried out later.
By default the HELIccpm model tem-
plate assumes a 3-point 120° swash-
plate with the “pitch-axis servo” ar-
ranged at the rear in flight direction.
(Description of model helicopter templates Î
12.11.)
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 Î 13.3.1.)
5. Select an assignment list (which transmitter con-
trols operate the various functions).
(Parameter Assignment Î 13.3.2.)
!
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 (also the idle position, e.g. collective pitch
minimum forward or back) does not meet your re-
quirements, 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
Modellname eingeben
The model is assigned a name in the menu
I Memory/Properties (Î 18.5.)
Step
p
Servos am Empfänger anschließen
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: Models with CCPM swashplate
If you want to set up a model with electronic swashplate
mixing (CCPM), but it features a swashplate other than
the default arrangement in the HELIccpm template (3-
point 120°, pitch-axis servo at rear), you must first alter
the servo assignment in the menu K Servo, Assign-
ment (Î 16.2). Please also read the notes relating to
Rotor head mixers (electronic swashplate mixer/CCPM
Î 15.5.).
