Trainer (teacher / pupil) mode

"Trainer" mode, sometimes called the "buddy-box"
method, is the safest means of getting started in model
flying. Two transmitters are inter-connected using a
special lead. An experienced model pilot has control of
the model, but can transfer individual functions to the
pupil by operating the trainer button ("TEACHER").
Later, when the pupil has gained some experience, the
teacher can transfer all the functions at once. If individ-
ual control functions are transferred, the teacher retains
control of the remaining functions. If he releases the
"TEACHER" button, the tutor instantly regains full con-
trol of the model, e.g. if a crash appears to be imminent.
Only the teacher's transmitter radiates an RF signal; it
also provides power to the pupil transmitter and carries
out all the data processing, i.e. the pupil transmitter
only has to be set to pupil mode (depending on type).
No other programming is necessary, and no settings
have to be altered. All the teacher's transmitter requires
from the pupil transmitter is the pure stick signals.
The ROYALevo7 can be used both as teacher and pupil
transmitter.
As teacher transmitter the ROYALevo7 can transfer up
to 5 functions to the pupil.
With a fixed-wing model these are:
Aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, spoiler
With a model helicopter:
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw, collective pitch
As pupil transmitter the ROYALevo7 generates the
same functions as listed above, which can be accepted
by the teacher transmitter. If the ROYALevo7 is set to
pupil mode, the trims, mixers and all transmitter control
and servo settings are switched off.

The ROYALevo as teacher transmitter

1. Connect the teacher and pupil transmitters using
the Trainer lead, # 8 5121, connected to the multi-
function sockets. Take care to connect the cable
correctly: the pupil end of the lead is marked
"Schüler" (pupil), the teacher end "Lehrer"
(teacher).
The following transmitters can be used as the pupil
unit: ROYALevo7 / 9 / 12, Cockpit MM, Commander
mc, EUROPA mc, PiCOline, PROFI mc 3010 / 3030 /
4000.
Many older models of MULTIPLEX transmitter are
also suitable for use as pupil transmitters. If your
pupil transmitter is not listed above, please check
with our Customer Services Department.
2. Now switch on the teacher transmitter
(ROYALevo7) this automatically switches on the
pupil transmitter, which is powered by the teacher
transmitter.
Important: the ON/OFF switch on the pupil trans-
mitter must be left at the OFF position!

3. Move to the Setup / Training sub-menu.
You will see the following display:
Fig. 1: SETUP / Training menu Fig. 2: SETUP / Training menu
for fixed-wing models
The "<M" display means that the button on the left-
hand side (<) of the transmitter is the one used to
transfer control (the Trainer switch). If you operate
this button, an asterisk (*) appears to indicate that
the pupil can control the model.
4. Select:
Mode = Teacher M, if the pupil transmitter gener-
ates signals in the MULTIPLEX format
(neutral pulse width = 1.6 ms)
(e.g. ROYALevo 7 / 9 / 12 with "Train M", Cockpit
MM with servo format setting to "M", Commander
mc, EUROPA mc, PiCOline, PROFI mc 3010 / 3030 /
4000).
Mode = Teacher U, if the pupil transmitter gener-
ates signals in the UNIVERSAL format.
(Neutral pulse width = 1.5 ms)
(e.g. PiCO-line, ROYALevo transmitter with "Train
U", COCKPIT MM with servo format setting to "U"
(UNI).
5. Select the function which the pupil is to control,
and press the "ENTER" button or one of the 3D
digi-adjustors.
The cursor is now located at the input field for
channel assignment.
6. On the pupil transmitter move the transmitter con-
trol with which the pilot is to control the selected
control function (Quick-Select). The corresponding
channel number is displayed (e.g. "Ch1" for aile-
ron). Check that the model's control surfaces move
in the correct "sense" (direction). If not, you can re-
verse the function by pressing the REV/CLR button
(# or ').
Note: Quick-Select can only be used if the
ROYALevo7 is switched on and radiating an RF
signal.
7. Press the "ENTER" button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors to complete the assignment process.
Hold the "TEACHER" button pressed in to check
that the system is working correctly. The pupil pilot
should now operate the control function you have
just assigned. Check that the control surfaces on
the model work in the correct direction!
8. Repeat steps 5. to 7. until all the control functions
which are to be transferred to the pupil have been
assigned. You can then return to the status display
and start the training session.
