Switching On For The First Time; Creating A Model - Multiplex Cockpit SX 7 Mode D'emploi

6. Switching on for the first time

Switching on:
The transmitter is activated by briefly pressing the On / Off
switch. The first time you switch the transmitter on, it will start
in the Basic Settings menu.
In this menu you can start by personalising your transmitter
and selecting your preferred language. You should also
select the side of the transmitter on which the throttle / spoiler

7. Creating a model

The easiest way to create a new model is by using the
"Assistant".
1. Start the assistant
Under model type, select the one which is best suited to your
model. Specify a name and file path for your new model and
confirm using the arrow key
2. Model type selection
The model types are broken down as follows:
a. Easy
Template for a simple power model aircraft (e.g. Easystar)
without flight phases.
· Aileron with mixable inputs for landing flaps (spoilers), flaps
(warping), elevator (snap flap)
· Combi switch (linkage aileron –> elevator/elevator –> aileron)
· Elevator/alternatively
V-tail with mixable inputs to avoid unwanted side effects/
compensation of flaps (warping), spoilers (landing damper
function) and throttle.
· Channels 1-5 have already been permanently assigned in
order to ensure simple programmability.
b. Acro
The Acro template is the template for the classic aerobatic
planes and trainers (fun-cub, Funman, Extra....) In addition
to the functions listed under Easy, it is also possible to use
three flight phases. The servos can be freely assigned. On the
mixers (aileron and elevator), the flap mixer input has been
consciously deactivated.
c. Glider
The glider template also provides all the necessary functions
for gliders as well as those provided by the Easy and Acro:
· Three flight phases
· Two-, four- or six-flap wing
(= two ailerons + four flaps/camber-changing flaps) with
mixable inputs for landing flaps (spoilers) e.g. the butterfly

control is to be located.
When you are satisfied, press the arrow button at bottom right
to accept the settings; you are then moved on to the Model
Assistant.
At this point you can set up a new model with the help of the
Assistant.
function, flaps (warping), elevator (snap flap), offset for offset
linkage of the elevator and V-tail.
· The servos can be freely assigned.
d. Delta
· Two-,four- flap Delta
· Three flight phases
· Delta mixer for classic jets/deltas/flying wings
· Unrestricted servo assignment
e. Helicopter
· Four flight phases
· 90 degree flybarless (unmixed)
· 120 degree mixed
· Trims which can be switched off for gyros
· Nine point throttle/nine point pitch curve
· Unrestricted servo assignment
f. Multicopter
· Four flight phases
· Four multicopter main window functions
· Nine point throttle/nine point pitch curve
· Unrestricted servo assignment from the remaining
transmitter controls/switches
3. Delta/V-tail models
We have come up with something special to save you a lot of
time and effort adjusting settings.
Setting the direction of rotation of the servos on delta and
V-tail models is child's play. To do this, all you have to do is
test through all eight possible combinations for type/variant,
until the elevator and aileron function is working as desired.
