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

6. Switching on for the first time

To switch on:
Activate the transmitter by briefly pressing the on/off button. If
the transmitter has not yet been used, it automatically starts in
the basic settings menu.
First of all, you can enter your name and desired language. You
can also specify which joystick will be used for the throttle/
spoilers later on.

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 types
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- or four-flap wing
(= two ailerons + two flaps/camber-changing flaps) with
mixable inputs for landing flaps (spoilers) e.g. the butterfly
26
on the keyboard in the display.
After confirming by pressing the arrow button at the bottom on
the right, you are directed to the model assistant, as no models
have yet been saved on the SD card. A new model will now be
created 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
· 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.
