Setting up a new model

19.1. Introduction

When you set up a new model the ROYALevo7 helps
you by presenting a set of model templates. Eight dif-
ferent templates are available:
Templates for
standard and
fixed-wing models
BASIC1

BASIC2
2.
ACRO

DELTA

GLIDER

Setting up a new model based on a model template is
very simple, as all parameters and menus not required
for the selected model type are suppressed. This en-
sures that the menu system is always as clear and sim-
ple as possible, and goes a long way to avoiding pro-
gramming errors.
A detailed description of model templates and their ap-
plications, together with full information and set-up fa-
cilities, are found on the section starting with
"Step by step to your destination"
There are various ways of proceeding when you are set-
ting up a new model. The following procedures for
fixed-wing models ( 19.2.) and helicopters (
describe the method which in our opinion takes you to
the finishing post most quickly.

19.2. A new (fixed-wing) model

Step Setting up a new memory
A new model is initially set up in Menu I Memory , in the
New Model sub-menu (
In this menu the following happens:
1. The first empty memory is automatically selected
for the new model.
( Memory No. parameter
2. Select a model template to suit the new model.
( Template parameter
From the eight templates available pick the one
which comes closest to your model.
(Description of model templates
3. Select the manufacturer-specific servo sequence at
the receiver (from MULTIPLEX HiTEC, Futaba or JR)
( Servo config parameter
4. Select your preferred stick mode, i.e. which stick is
to control which model function (e.g. throttle right
or left, aileron right or left, ...)
( Mode parameter
18.6.4.)
Leave the menu by selecting OK

this completes setting up the new model.
6. In the Control sub-menu of the Setup menu, select
the control neutral settings for:
Thr. min
Idle
Spoiler min
retracted
(no braking effect)

ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions
Step Entering a model name
Enter the model's name in the menu:
I Memory / Properties .
( Name parameter
Step Connecting the servos
Connect the model's servos, speed controller etc. to the
receiver, taking care to use the socket sequence de-
scribed in the model template which you selected when
you initially set up the new model ( Servo config.
parameter). The channel sequence can also be seen in
Menu K Servo / Assignment .
TIP:
Not all receiver channel assignments are fixed; some
channels can be altered, i.e. they are unused and can be
assigned freely. For example, you can assign a throttle
or aero-tow channel if necessary for a glider or electric-
powered glider. You can assign additional functions to
the servo channels which are not in use by basic func-
tions (e.g. retracts, second elevator servo, aero-tow, va-
cant AUX channels, ...). Changes to the servo assign-
ment can be made in Menu K Servo / Assign-
ment (
16.2.).
Note:
If you wish to connect devices (servos, speed controller,
...) which vary in signal format, it is possible to set up
each channel separately (options: UNI / MPX) in Menu K
Servo / Assignment (
Step Switching on the transmitter and receiver
!
Always keep to the standard sequence!
Always switch the transmitter on first,
and only then the receiver.
!
Caution!
Injury hazard from motors bursting into life.
Check carefully that there is no danger of a motor
starting up accidentally when you switch on.
The model will now respond to control commands from
the transmitter. However, all the settings (servo direc-
tion, neutral setting, control surface travels) still have to
be checked and adjusted.
Step Calibrating the servos
The term "calibration" in this connection means adjust-
ing the following features of the servos:
- Direction of rotation
- Centre setting
- End-points
The servos are calibrated in Menu K Servo , Cali-
brate (
16.1.)
Note:
Please take great care when calibrating the servos. They
can only work accurately enough to provide precise
control of your model if this process is carried out prop-
erly and carefully. "Measuring is always better than
guessing!"
