c) Model Type Selection "Type select"
As there are different functions available for each of the respective model types, such as mixers or switching functions,
it is necessary to enter the right model type during programming. You can pick between model planes "Airplane or
glider" and helicopter models "Helicopter". Among the helicopter models, the following versions are also available with
different swash plate linkages:
"Fixed pitch":
Select these settings in speed-controlled model helicopters in which the
angle of attack of the main rotor blades cannot be adjusted.
"Variable pitch":
Choose this setting for helicopters that use a separate servo each for rolling,
nodding and pitch functions.
"Swash 90° / 120° / 140°":
Select this setting when the swash plate for your model helicopter is
controlled with 3 servos and the linkage points at the swash plate are offset
against each other by 90°, 120° or 140°. Depending on angle of the linkage
points, different mixing ratios of the three swash plate servos are required
that the transmitter will be considered automatically then. On demand, you
can find more information on the swash plate linkage in the documents of
your model helicopter.
Selection of the model type
• Switch on the transmitter and call the system setting menu.
• Move the cursor arrow to the menu item "Type select" with the scroll wheel.
• Briefly confirm the scroll wheel button or the button "OK" to activate the
menu item.
The display shows the currently set model memory with the model name
and model type. Additionally, the model type is displayed at the bottom display
edge with a figure that is later shown in the operating display as well.
• Turn the scroll wheel to select the desired model type.
• Push the button "OK" to save the set model type. The display then shows
the system setup menu again.
• Push the button "CANCEL" repeatedly until you return to the operating
display and check if the correct figure is displayed.
