mc-16/20
Expandable Radio Control Set for a maximum of 16 channels

Using the proven computer system mc-16 as the basis of the new mc-16/20 Microcomputer Remote Control set was developed. With the series already equipped with 20 model memories, the mc-16/20 offers features to beginners and more experienced equally.
The controls and ergonomically optimised transmitter case have been developed further and gain an LCD for precise and clear display of all functions. It also enables, even in bright sunlight, secure adjusting and reading of all model-specific parameters.
A more intelligent chip and complex software offer a maximum of security and reliability. Owing to this innovative technology, modules for the implementation of complex coupled functions are no longer required in the transmitter, and complex mechanical mixers become unnecessary in the model construction.
The program selection, based on experience, are simpler and offer the scope and flexibility to adjust complex control functions to suit the requirements of the user. In particular, importance was attached to the interests of the intermediate user.
The user is persuaded by the simple and clear menu structure, and the conveniently fast selection of most functions. In addition, the mc-16/20 copes with every request up to the demanding competition application.
Half the program functions are common to the five different model types. Each type of model, from the simple glider to the modern high speed helicopter, contains model type specific functions, which allow programming of a flight model. Depending upon personal requirement and operator ability, individual functions can be switched off with optional external switches.
You should take notice of the organisation of the completely revised programming manual, and in particular to the clear and detailed operation and programming structure it represents.
Since the software covers special programs for the operation of both fixed-wing models and modern model helicopters, the operating instruction are arranged into several sections:
After a section concerning general operating instructions, the second section gives transmitter basic adjustments. Thus adjustments independent of model type, are described like model storage, name, type and modulation mode, among other things.
Following this are adjustments such as servo direction, servo reversal, freely programmable Mixers, etc., since these functions are common to all model types at your disposal. Afterwards the program descriptions for model types of the class of gliders and power planes follows.
STANDARD, UNIFLY, F3B / BUTTERFLY and AEROBATIC.
The fifth model type is dedicated to the helicopter. It covers all adjustment possibilities that available for the programming of a helicopter, even if they were already described for the fixed-wing models. This saves time consuming paging back and forward the instructions. Due to the complexity of the programs with this type of model it is recommended to observe the suggested programming order.
The reference sections are placed in front of the program sections for each type of model, and functions in clear flow charts and menu diagrams. Block diagrams clarify, in a simple way, the signal flow through the different functions that can be modified and between the control sticks and receiver outputs.
In the appendices the NAUTIC multi-function module is presented. It also contains information about further accessories, technical data etc.
Is advised that the beginner and less experienced model fliers initially attach as many servos as possible to the receiver and to first complete all functions in accordance with the guidance. He will learn, in the shortest possible time, the main operating steps of the mc-16/20 required to be able to make a meaningful program for the model to be finished.
