12. Programming the Flight Controller
Theightcontrollerisnowcorrectlysetexworks.
The neutral position (motor off) and the motor brake can be programmed on demand.
a) Neutral Position (Motor Off)
Theightcontrollerautomaticallyrecognisesthecontrolsignalofthetransmitterformotorcontrol.If,forexample,
thecontrolleverforthemotorcontrolisnotinthe„Motoroff“positionwhentheightbatteryisconnected(leverisnot
pulledallthewaybacktothebody),thecurrentpositionofthecontrolleverisrecognisedandsavedas„motoroff“.
However, this causes the problem that the control path for controlling the motor speed at the transmitter is now shorter
andthatthespeedcontrolmaynotbeneenoughanymore.Therefore,observethatthecontrolleverforthemotor
controlispulledbackallthewaywhenconnectingtheightbattery.
b) Motor Brake
Theightcontrollerhasanintegratedmotorbrake.This„EMKbrake“stops(brakes)themotorimmediatelyafterthe
controlsignal„Motoroff“.Themotorwillthennolongerrunonduetotheairowingthroughthepropellerinight,and
the folding propeller may fold in against the fuselage. This reduces air resistance in pure gliding.
The motor brake can be switched on and off as follows:
• Switch on the transmitter on and then put the throttle lever for motor control to the full throttle position.
• Thenconnecttheightbatterytotheightcontrolleragain.
• Theightcontrollersignalsthebatteryconnectionwithtwolowandtwohighsoundsinaquicksequence.
• Push the control lever for the motor function from the full throttle position to the bottom position (motor off) right
after this.
• Theightcontrollerwillnowemitoneortwosounds,dependingonwhetherthebrakewasactivatedordeactivated
before. The motor brake is now deactivated or activated.
c) Undervoltage recognition
Theightcontrollerhasanundervoltagerecognitionthatreducesthemotoroutputordeactivatesthemotoratavolt-
age below 3.0 V per cell (for the rechargeable battery in the model plane, i.e. at 6.0 V). Thus avoids a harmful deep
discharge of the battery. The undervoltage recognition cannot be reprogrammed.
