1 Introduction

The new DC16 transmitter was developed and produced with the cooperation of professional and world champion pilots. This transmitter was created with the goals of maximum utility, simple handling, maximum durability and the ultimate reliability of its mechanical parts. The metal case, with its chemically resistant outside surface treatment, provides maximum protection for the interior components. The straightforward case shape makes servicing easy. The metal, quad ball bearing equipped, stick gimbals with their magnetic Hall sensors are another revolutionary design concept used to make the DC16 one of the world’s most advanced R/C systems.

Purposefully placed at the top of the transmitter, the 3.8“ backlit, LCD display with its wide viewing angle offers nearly perfect visibility in just about any lighting condition. Thanks to its high resolution display and use of a relatively large number of graphic images it was possible to create a simple and intuitive setup procedure for displaying telemetric data.

The DUPLEX EX family of products have been equipped with an improved telemetric data transfer system which can be viewed on the LCD transmitter display or saved for later analysis on a PC. The transmitter allows the setup of audible notifications (optionally created by the user), which can be related to actual telemetric values or to sound alarms or signals which have been assigned to conditions of various control elements.

After re-assembling and turning on your transmitter the software will sound a warning reminding you that you have executed a change. Always re inspect all assigned functions of the switches before attempting to fly.

4.5 Digital Trims.

Transmitter gimbals are used for controlling the basic flight functions like throttle, roll(aileron), pitch(elevator), and yaw(rudder). Immediately under the transmitter gimbal sticks you can see four push-buttons which are the programmable, digital trim buttons.

The digital trims are used for fine trimming of the flying model. When the transmitter is turned off, the trim values are stored in memory and are recalled when the system is turned back on.

Every model has its own trim setup. Also all flight modes may be configured to use different trim configurations. By pressing one of the buttons, the screen will automatically change to display the graphic position of that trim. The transmitter trims feature an acoustic step and centre beep alarm.

In the „Digital trim“ menu it‘s possible to enable a special function used as automatic trimming. Digital trim steps and trim

5 RF Transmitter Modules

In order to achieve the highest transmission quality and reliability of the DC-16 transmitter, we have decided to equip the radio with two independent DUPLEX 2,4GHz transmitter modules. The transmitter modules have separate antennas. From the point of transmission they are fully independent from each other. The RF modules of the transmitter can operate in following modes:

• „Initial“mode – the primary transmitter RF module is active.

The secondary module can act as redundant unit. If the primary module does not receive feedback from the receiver, the transmitter can switch to the secondary transmitter RF module and communicate with the receiver.

• „Dual“mode – the transmitter RF modules communicate

independently from each other with two different receivers. The receivers can be interconnected via an intelligent synthesizer, for instance the JETI Enlink, or the basic control functions can be divided between two independent receivers. In this mode one part of a model can be controlled with one receiver using the first transmitter RF module, the other part of a model with a second receiver and the second RF module. In an instant you have created a dual, redundant flying system with two receivers and two RF modules.

• „Trainer“mode – the secondary RF transmitter module is

assigned to communicate with the instructor/student transmitter only. Communication with the model takes place via instructor’s transmitter only. If the DC-16 transmitter is in the „Instructor“ mode, the primary RF module communicates with the model and the secondary RF module communicates with the student’s transmitter.

In the „Student“ mode the DC-16 transmitter communicates via the secondary RF module with the instructor’s transmitter. If you operate two of the DC-16 transmitters; one of them in the „Instructor“ mode and the other one in the „Student“ mode, the transmitters communicate between each other via the secondary RF transmitter module. With this advanced system NO additional equipment is necessary.

Note:

If you are going to operate the DC-16 transmitter in France, your transmitter should be setup for French transmitting mode „Main menu -> System ->Configuration -> French mode -> Yes“

Let’s create a simple model airplane. Our example will be a motor glider with ailerons controlled by two servos, an elevator and a rudder each controlled by one servo. Servo assignment:

1. Throttle

2. Aileron 1

3. Aileron 2

4. Elevator

5. Rudder

Before you begin creating a model make sure that you have set up the correct transmitter mode in „Main menu -> System -> Configuration -> MODE 1-4“. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection.

First it is necessary to first create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC-16 transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model. See chapter 8.4: Receiver->Binding.

Notice:

For safety reasons we recommend first removing the propeller.

1. Switch-on the transmitter. In the main

display push the key „menu“. Select the item „Model“ and push the „3D button“.

2. Select the item „New model“ and push

the „3D button“.

3. Enter the name of your model and press

„F5(OK)“ (Note: you must enter a model name to proceed.) Then select the model type „AERO“. Confirm by pushing the „F5(Next)“ button.

4. Select your wing type. Because this

example has 2 aileron servos, select „Wing type“ 0FLP/2WING. Do not change any

other setup items like tail assembly, number of motors, number of spoilers or number of landing gear servos. Continue by pushing the „F5(Next)“ button.

5. This page displays the flight control

functions and their transmitter switch assignments. Here you can verify that your

flight control functions are correctly assigned to the transmitter switches/sticks. If they are not, check and make sure that you have selected the proper transmitter mode. Confirm the assignments by pushing the

„F5(Next)“ button.

6. This page displays the assignment of

functions to your receiver outputs (servos). You may change the assignments by editing the output assignment for each receiver channel. Otherways c onfir m with t he

„F5(Next)“ button.

7. The screen will now display a request which

asks if you really want to create and activate the new model. Confirm with the „F5(Yes)“

button.

8. The Servo Setup menu is where you set the

servo neutral positions, servo output travel limits, servo reversing, delay etc. You will come back to this menu after binding the receiver with your transmitter. Press the „F5(OK)“ button and you are taken to the main screen where your new model is displayed in a desktop page.

Bind transmitter with the receiver, see chapter 8.4 Receiver->Binding.

Once your transmitter has been bound with the receiver and you have re-applied power to the receiver, the last setup phase is the tuning of your servo output functions. see chapter 7.3.4 Setup of receiver

outputs.

With this type of wing configuration there is usually a mixer used to also raise the ailerons as spoilers (spoilerons). Follow the steps below the set up this mixer. In this example we will use the „right side control

lever(5)“ for the proportional control of the spoilerons.

a). From the main screen, push the „menu“

button. Select „Fine tuning“ and push the

„3D button“.

b). Next, select „Butterfly“ and push the „3D

button”.

c). In the first menu line push the „3D button“

,select „Switch“ and push the „3D button“ again. Next, move the „right side control lever(5)“. Confirm with the „F5(OK)” button. The last step in this menu is to set the amount of travel that your ailerons will move as spoilerons (or flaperons) and to set any desired elevator compensation.

3.3.

Page 23

Note:

When setting up your spoilerons be sure that the ailerons still have enough travel to control your airplane when the spoilerons are deployed. In this menu the „(Sym) F1“ button will link or unlink the spoilerons if you need to set them independantly.

7.3.2 Helicopter

Let’s create a simple model helicopter. In this example, the helicopter is controlled by a swash plate with three servos at 120° orientation and the motor has no governor.

Servo assignment for the receiver channels:

1. Throttle

2. Elevator (Swash 1F)

3. Collective (Swash 2L)

4. Aileron (Swash 3R)

5. Rudder (Yaw)

6. Gyro(Gyro sens.)

Before you begin creating a model make sure that you have set-up the correct transmitter mode in „Main menu -> System -> Configuration -> MODE 1-4“. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection.

First it is necessary to first create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC-16 transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model. See chapter 8.4: Receiver->Binding.

Notice:

For safety reasons we strongly recommend removing the main/tail blades or disconnecting the motor when working with an electric helicopter.

1. Switch-on the transmitter. In the main

display push the key „menu“. Select the item „Model“ and push the „3D button“.

2. Select the item „New model“ and push

the „3D button“.

3. Enter the name of your model and press

„F5(OK)“ (Note: you must enter a model

name to proceed.) Then select the model type „Heli“. Confirm by pushing the

„F5(Next)“ button.

4. Select the helicopter swash plate type „3

servos (def 120°)“. Change the second menu item „Position of front servo“ to „Rear“ – the swash plate servo orientation will be turned 180°. Confirm the change by pressing the „F5(Next)” button.

3.3.

Page 24

computer radio control system

When you create a new helicopter model you are required to define the swash plate configuration for the model. Please refer to your helicopter’s instructions and verify that you have the correct swash plate configuation. If you find that you need to change your swash plate configuration you can always go to the „Model -> Basic Properties“ menu to make the change.

5. The„Functions Assignment“ menu lists

the flight functions and their control switch/stick assignments. If you want to change any of the switch/stick assignments, select the „Control“ item for your flight function and then select your desired

switch/stick for that flight function. Press „F5(Next)“ to confirm.

6. The „Servo assignment“ menu displays

the receiver channels and their transmitter output assignments. If you want to change any of the output assignments, select the channel you want to edit and reassign its output. Otherways press „F5(Next)“ to confirm.

7. The „Swash Mix“ menu displays the travel

range of each particular helicopter flight function for the swash plate. The travel range is displayed as a percentage. You can use these these travel range adjustments to

prevent linkage binding and to tune the helicopter to suit your flying style. (Refer to your helicopter’s instruction manual.) Press the „F5(Next)“ button to confirm.

8. The screen will display a question which

asks if you really want to create and activate the new model. Press the „F5(Yes)“ button to confirm.

9. The „Servo Setup“ menu is where you

can set all of your servo neutral positions, servo output throw limits, servo reversing, delay etc. You should return to this menu after you have bound your receiver and transmitter. See chapter 8.4: Receiver-

>Binding.

10. Once your transmitter has been bound with a receiver and has

been connected to its power supply, the last step consists of tuning the servo output functions, see chapter 7.3.4: Setup of receiver

outputs.

In the „Fine tuning -> Flight modes“ menu you will setup these advanced model control functions for your helicopter:

Collective pitch curve, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes->Function Curves

Throttle curve, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes->Function Curves

Dual rates, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes -> Dual Rate/Expo

Autorotation, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes

7.3.3 General

The DC-16 transmitter is not only equipped with the assistants for airplanes or helicopters, but it also has a „General“ assistant which can be used to create just about any other type of model. If your model cannot be assigned to the category of an airplane or helicopter, select the general model. The following setup describes the creation of a boat model. This process could also be used to create a profile for any other land/water/air model craft. In this example, the model is controlled by basic functions like throttle and rudder as well as by extended functions like a motor sound generator, lighting system, siren and a smoke generator. The first three above mentioned functions are controlled proportionally and the rest are non proportional.

Servo assignment to receiver channels:

1. Motor

2. Rudder

3. Motor Sound Module

4. Lighting System

5. Siren Sound Module

6. Smoke Module

Before creating a model make sure that you have setup the correct transmitter mode in „Main menu -> System -> Configuration -> MODE 1-4“. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection.

First it is necessary to first create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC-16 transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model, see chapter 8.4: Receiver->Binding.

1. Switch-on the transmitter. In the main

display push the key „menu“. Select the item „Model“ and push the „3D button“.

2. Select the item „New model“ and push

the „3D button“.

3. Enter the name of your model and press

„F5(OK)“ (Note: you must enter a model

name to proceed.) Then select the model type „General“. Confirm by pushing the

„F5(Next)“ button.

4. The first item in the „Basic Properties“

menu is the number of motors in the model. In this example, this item will not be edited and we will proceed to the second item, which is how the motor needs to be controlled – i.e. whether the motor turns

only one direction (Single) or both directions (double). Edit the item „Motor type“ by selecting „Double direction“. Press the „F5(Next)“ button to confirm.

3.3.

Page 26

computer radio control system

5. In the „Function Assignment“ menu

use the „F3(Add)“ button to create all of your desired functions. Then you can assign transmitter control switches/sticks to the functions by editing each function’s

„Control“ item, see chapter: „S elect

control input“. The only exception is the motor sound module

function, which you cannot simply assign to a control switch/stick, because it wil be controlled by a mixer. The mixer will allow the motor sound will be played proportionally to the motor speed. For the siren function you may take advantage of the switch „Sa“ (spring-loaded switch). After you create of all of your desired functions press the „F5(Next)“ button to confirm.

6. The „Servo assignment“ menu displays

the receiver channels and their transmitter output assignments. The channels are assigned in the order that you created the functions in the previous menu. If you want to change any of the output assignments, select the channel you want to edit and reassign its output. Otherways press

„F5(Next)“ to confirm

7. The screen will display a question which

asks if you really want to create and activate the new model. Press the „F5(Yes)“ button to confirm.

8. The „Servo Setup“ menu is where you

can set all of your servo neutral positions,

servo output throw limits, servo reversing,

delay etc. You should return to this menu

after you have bound your receiver and

transmitter. See the chapter 8.4: Receiver-

>Binding.

Once your transmitter has been bound with a receiver and has been connected to its power supply, the last step consists of tuning the servo output functions, see chapter 7.3.4: Setup of receiver

outputs.

To complete this model we just need to configure a free mixer from the throttle function to the motor sound module. In this example we will set a switch to enable/disable the mixer so that when the switch is „on“ the motor sound module is controlled with the throttle (motor speed). Go to the „Fine tuning -> Free mixers“ menu.

a). Use the „F2(Add)“ button to create a

new mixer. Select „Engine“ in the „From“

item. Then select „Sound M“ (the name of

the sound function) in the „To“ item. The

item „Master Value“ represents the

amount of mixing from the input function

to the output function for this mixer. With

the „F5(Next)“ button you will create the

mixer and the display will change to show

the overview of your programmed free

mixers.

3.3.

Page 27

computer radio control system

b). To assign a switch for the activation and

deactivation of the free mixer press the „F4(Edit)“ button. Select and edit the „Switch“ item to assign a switch/stick to enable/disable the mixer.

7.3.4 Set-up of Receiver Outputs

Go to the „Model->Servo Setup“ menu. Use the „F2“ and „F3“ buttons to brows through the receiver outputs (channels).

You can scrol through the following servo adustment items for each channel:

„Servo reversing“ – reverses the servo throw direction.

Move the stick for your selected channel and observe the direction of the servo movement. If the servo moves in the opposite of your desired direction, change the direction by editing the „Reverse“ item for that particular servo. Continue with each channel until all of the servos travel in the required directions.

„Center (Subtrim)“- adjusts the center position of each servo’s output.

Note:

You should Mechanically adjust all of your servo arms and servo linkages to be as close to neutral or center as as possible so that you will need as little subtrim as possible. Using large amounts of subtrim can limit the overall throw of your servo.

„Max/Min. limit“ – sets the absolute maximum servo output throw

Use these to limit the maximum range of servo throw in order to keep your servos from exceeding their mechanical limits or to keep your servos from binding when moving their arms or linkages to their full travel. You should use the dual rate function to set your model’s useable control throws.

With your sticks in their neutral positions, scroll through each servo’s page and use the „Center (Subtrim)“ item to correctly set all of your servo‘s center or neutral positions.

8 Receiver

A part and parcel of the DC-16 transmitter is the receiver DUPLEX R9 EX, a nine channel full range receiver with telemetric data transfer.

8.1. Technical Data

8.2. Description

5 4

1. The R9 receiver has 9 channels (numbered 1-9). This receiver

uses the universal or „JR Type“ servo connectors.

2. Bat - receiver and servo power supply input. Whenever

possible, always supply power to your receiver using more than one of these inputs. You can either supply power through the use of a Ycable or through any unused receiver channel connection. To power the receiver you may use NiCd packs, the BEC from your ESC or Li-xx cells used with a voltage regulator, such as the JETIMAX BEC or similar.

3. SAT - auxillary input/output for PPM signals. This input allows

you to connect an additional JETI DUPLEX Rsat2 satellite receiver. This allows you to increase the number of receiver antennas in your system for increased reliabilty in installations with shielded or badly oriented antennas.

4. EXT - input for telemetry sensors. If you want to connect more

than one telemetry sensor then use the JETI EXPANDER E4. You can „daisy-chain“ several of the E4 Expanders to support many, many sensors.

5. A1/A2 - receiver antennas. The antennas should be installed

so that the wires form a 90° angle relative to each other.

3.3.

Page 29

computer radio control system

8.3. Installation

Whenever possible, you should wrap the receiver in foam and place it as far as possible from sources of interference (servos, electric motors). Arrange the receiver antennas so that their active ends form a 90° angle and try to put them as far as possible away from each other. Take care not to bend them with a radius smaller than 1 cm. The active part of the antenna should not be placed close to metal parts. If your model has a carbon fuselage it is very important to place the active antenna ends outside the fuselage.

8.4. Binding

In order to achieve communication between transmitter and receiver you must bind them. During this process the transmitter learns the receiver address and will automatically find it again when switched back on. Communication begins with this receiver automatically if the transmitter is not already communicating with another receiver. The binding process needs only to be done once for each receiver.

Procedure:

1. Switch off the transmitter and receiver.

2. Plug the „BIND PLUG“ into the EXT receiver input.

3. Connect receiver power supply.

4. Switch on the transmitter. The receiver will bind with the

primary transmitter module.

8.5. Range Test

The range test will verify that the transmitter and receiver are functioning properly.

Before the first flight of each flying session or if have any doubts about the transmitter or receiver function you should always check the range. During the range test the transmitter’s output power is decreased to 10%.

When performing a range test, both the model and the transmitter should be at a minimum height of 80 cm (31.5“) above the ground. A correctly functioning transmitter and receiver in range test mode should safely control a model to a minimum distance of 50m (164‘). If not, check your model’s antenna installation first. If the test is still not successful don´t fly the equipment and contact your retail shop or one of the Jeti authorized service centers.

8.6. Fail safe

All Duplex 2,4GHz system receivers are equipped with „fail safe“, a function which reacts to control signal transmission interruptions. When your receiver for any reason does not receive transmitter information it changes, after a pre-set time period, to one of the following modes.

„Repeat“ – This mode holds the last valid control throw signal ( this is the default mode for all receivers)

„Out off“ – There is no output signal provided by the receiver, i. e. servos do not keep their positions

„Failsafe“ – receiver outputs change to preset positions

3.3.

Page 30

computer radio control system

Each receiver channel can be configured to one of the modes described above. We recommend that you setup „fail safe“ positions for every output which enables your model to stay in a stable condition. For instance, the elevator and rudder in neutral positions, electric motor switched-off, gas engine idling, spoilers extended.

Configuration Method of the receiver failsafe function.

1. Bind receiver with transmitter. See chapter: 8.4 Binding. Leave

receiver and transmitter in switched-on condition.

2. In the transmitter, go to the menu „System->Jetibox“ and

proceed according to picture. Use the F1-F4 function buttons to move within the menu.

3. In the „Set Output Pin“ menu select the receiver output which

you want to configure (use the left/right buttons) and proceed (by using the down-button).

4. In the „Signak Fault Yn“ menu where n denotes the channel

number which has to be configured, use the right-button to edit the output function showing a signal failure (set-up „fail safe“). You have now activated the „fail safe“ function on receiver channel output n.

5. The „fail safe“ is adjusted by pressing the down-button and

changing to the „fail safe“ menu. With the left/right buttons edit the „fail safe“ value in a range of 0,8ms to 2,2 ms. Adjust all of the connected receiver outputs by repeating steps 3-5.

The last parameter to be set up is the elapsed time after signal failure when the „fail safe“ or other actions after signal failure will be initiated. In the „SignalFault Delay“ menu you can define the length of time after a signal fault occurrs in which the preset throws are applied. The values in this menu are changed by pressing the left/right.buttons.

9.1. Model

The „Model“ menu contains basic functions for working with your model, like:

• Select Model

• New Model

• Basic Properties

• Functions Assignments

• Servo Assignment

• Servo Setup

9.1.1 Model Selection

The menu displays a list of your models stored in the memory with their names, setup dates and model types. The currently selected model is marked by a check mark. In the menu you may select a model and manage all of your models. You can copying models, delete models (except for the currently selected model) and change the storage sequence of your models.

1. Model selection

In the list of models, select the required model and confirm it by pressing the „3D button“ or „F1(Ok)“ button. You will be prompted to confirm loading of the selected model.

The DC-16 transmitter offers a „Model checking“ function, which compares the series number of the receiver in the model profile with the series number of the receiver with which it is starting to communicate. If the two series numbers do not match, the transmitter displays a warning that a different receiver has been detected for the model. In this situation, you the user, will decide whether to:

• Confirm the change – this assigns the new receiver to the

model.

• Reject the change – the transmitter will not communicate with

the newly detected receiver and model will not be switched on.

Select another model from the transmitter register.•

The information about receiver discrepancies will also be displayed after the creation of a new model and binding or establishing communication with the receiver.

Through the use of this function, if you choose, the new receiver will be assigned to the given model for future checks.

2. Copying a model

The complete setup information of a model can be copied and used to create a new model with the same programming. Select the model from the model list that you want to copy and then create the copy by pressing the „F3(Copy)“ button. You will need to edit the name of your copied model before it can be saved. Once you edit the

3. Deleting a Model

A model can be removed from the memory. In the model list select the model you want to delete and press the „F5(Delete)“ button. For safety reasons it is impossible to delete the currently selected model.

4. Choice of model sequence

The sequence of models can the changed by using the „F1()“ button to move the selected model one position downwards or by using the „F2()“ button to move the model one position upwards. The transmitter allows storing of many models in the memory.

Note:

Try to arrange your most frequently used models at the beginning of the model list in order to avoid having to browse the whole list when selecting a model.

9.1.2 New Model

Selecting this menu item starts the new model creation assistant. The assistant begins creating a new model profile as soon as you select, „New model“. Howerver, the new model will only be created after the confirmation in the last assistant menu, „Servo Assignment“. Until you make the final confirmation the new model is NOT created or stored in the memory.

The setup possibilities of the DC-16 transmitter are very extensive. For simplicity, some of the possible adjustments are accessible only for certain combinations of wing and tail arrangements, aerodynamic brakes, landing gears and number of motors or engines.

Notice:

For safety, start creating a model with the receiver in the model switched-off. Be careful when handling electric models or servo binding, where an improper linkage connection may cause damage when power is applied. When handling electric models it is safer to remove the propeller or disconnect the motor during model creation and tuning.

9.1.4 Basic Configuration - HELICOPTER

Swash Plate Type

Enter the type of swash plate your helicopter is using. Refer to your helicopter’s manual if necessary.

• „3 servos (default 120°)“ – the swash plate controls the

elevator, aileron and collective pitch functions by coodinating three servos. In the swash plate configuration, the servo control points can be shifted closer to or farther away from each other around the main shaft axis in 1° increments to help eliminate any unwanted swashplate movement. You will also use this setting if your heli requires a swash plate configuration of 3 servos (140°) or 3 servos (90°).

Within this menu you can also change the effective swash plate servo „lever lengths“ to compensate for any nonlinear servo arm travel.

· „ 4 servos (90°) - the swash plate controls the elevator, roll

and collective pitch functions by coodinating four servos in 90° orientation. You can make the same changes to this type as with the swash plate described above.

4. 4.

Page 36

computer radio control system

• „Mechanical“ - this swash plate type uses a single servo for

each flight function. This is the swash plate type to select if you are

using a flybarless controller.

Reverse swash plate orientation by 180°

The „Front servo position“ item is accessible only for the swash plate type „3 servos (default 120°)“. If your helicopter requires, it is possible with a single button to turn the swash plate configuration in the setup by 180°.

Swash plate angle

The „Angle“ item is only accessible in the „3 servos (default 120°)“ swash plate type. The angle formed by swash plate points 1 - 2 and 1 – 3 can be configured by the user in 1° increments. This allows you to fine tune your swash plate configuration as needed.

Rotation

The „Rotation“ Item is only accessible in the „3 servos (default 120°)“ and „4 servos (default 90°)“ swash plate types. This item

allows you to rotate the entire swash plate by a defined angle. This allows you to add fine tune your swash plate as required by some scale models.

Servo arm lengths (servo 1 – 4)

This item allows you move your swash plate control points either closer to or farther away from the axis of rotation. This allows you to compensate for any nonlinear servo movements.

Governor

In some helicopter setups a governor function is used for motor control – this allows the motor to run at a constant speed independantly from any collective pitch. If your model helicopter setup includes a governor which can be controlled through the receiver then switch on this function. once you enable this function, the governor configuration becomes accessible in the „Fine tuning/Gyro/Governor menu.

9.1.6 Basic Configuration-GENERAL

1. Number of Motors in the Model

This is where you select the number of motors in your model. It is possible to select 0-4 motors. The number of transmitter control outputs used to control the motors are automatically increased or decreased according to number of motors that you select.

2. Motor Type

Do the motors in your model only turn in one direction or are they able to rotate in both directions?

9.1.7 Assignment of functions

Based on your selected configuration a list of all flight functions will be created with basic transmitter channel assignments.

The menu allows you to rename flight functions, assign a flight function to any arbitratry transmitter stick, switch, knob or slider and also allows you to setup additional flight function trims.

You can allow the software to automatically assign your flight functions by pressing the „F2(Auto)“ button and then press the „F5(Yes)“ button.

1. Flight function Renaming

By editing each „Function“ item you can rename a flight function from its original name to any name that you choose.

2. Assignment of a Control Element to a Flight Function

By editing each „Control“ item you can assign any arbitrary stick, switch, knob or slider to a given flight function. The proportional channels 1 – 8 are marked P1–P8. The markings Sa-Sj designate switches with the same designation as on the transmitter front panel.

When you select one of these items you will enter the menu: „Select control input“, see chapter 9.7. The assignments can easily be verified by the graphic found beside the control element description in the „Control “ section, which shows the actual setup of the assigned control element.

3. Choice of an Additional Trim

The transmitter allows you to also create a trim function for any arbitrary flight function. By editing one of the „Trim“ items you can assign an arbitrary control element (stick, switch, knob or slider) to control the trim of the selected flight function. When you select one

4. 4.

Page 38

computer radio control system

of these items you will enter the menu: „Select control input“, see chapter 9.7. The assignments can easily be verified by the graphic

found beside the control element description in the „Trim “ section, which shows the actual setup of the assigned control element.

The trim functions for the gimbal sticks P1-P4 are automatically assigned to the quad push-buttons located below the gimbals. It is not necessary to assign them manually.

4. Range of Additional Trim

If you set up a trim function, you can use the „Trim-Max“ to set the maximum trim influence on the given flight function. The default value is 50%. If you set the value to 0% the trim control element will not have any effect on the flight function at all. If you set a value of 100%, the trim control element will control the flight function to its full travel.

5. Adding a Function

With the „F3(New)“ button you can create (add) your own flight function.

6. Deleting a Function

With the „F4(Delete)“ button you may delete the selected flight function.

Make sure that you have assigned all of your flight functions to the correct transmitter control elements (stick, switch, knob or slider) and make sure that the trims are assigned and functioning as you wish. By pressing the „F5(Next)“ button you will enter the next assistant step, the „Servo assignment “ menu.

Note:

The initial assignment is carried out in accordance with your selected transmitter mode. If the initial assignment is incorrect check the transmitter mode setup in the „Main menu->System>Configuration- >MODE 1-4 menu.

9.1. 8 Servo Assignment

This menu shows the assignment of transmitter output functions to the receiver channels. This assignment can be changed as you wish. The order number at the beginning of the column shows the channel number and the assigned transmitter output function is next to it. In this menu you can rearrange your output functions as needed, i. e. any transmitter function can be assigned to any of the receiver channels. The only restriction is the number of channels which the transmitter can control (16 channels). The transmitter can automatically set up your servo configuration based on your previous model setup. If you want the transmitter to automatically assign the servos in the same order as the last model that you set up, press the „F3(Auto)“ button and then press the „F5(Yes)“ button.

4. 4.

1. Assignment of Transmitter Output Functions to Receiver

Channels

Select the required receiver channel and press the „3D button“. Now you can choose which function you want assigned to the selected receiver channel.

With the „F5(Next)“ button you will enter the next step of the assistant which creates and stores the model into transmitter memory.

a) The assistant asks you to confirm the creation of the model by

displaying the question „Create and select a model?“. If you answer by pressing the „F1(No)“ button, the model will not be saved and you will return to the assistant to continue with further configuration of your model.

If you press the „F5(Yes)“ button, the model will be stored in the memory and at the same time will be activated. After that, you are automatically taken to the „Servo Setup“ menu. Your stored model can, of course, at any time be configured by selecting the „Main

menu->Model“> „Servo Setup“ menu.

Advice:

Once your model is created and activated you should bind your receiver with the transmitter and then proceed with „Servo Setup“.

9.1.9 Servo Setup

This menu is for the additional tuning of output functions of the transmitter->receiver channels->servos. The assignment of a transmitter output function to a receiver channel is shown in the upper part of the menu (first item below the menu description).

1. Display of a Receiver Channel Throw

In the upper part of the menu the actual throw of the selected channel is displayed using a live graphic. If you make a change to your setup in this menu, you will immediately see how the output will be influenced by the change.

2. Selection of Receiver Channel

In the first position F1 in the lower bar you see the actual selected channel. With the F2() or F3()buttons or by editing the item „Servo #“ you will select the receiver channel which you intend to configure.

3. Center (Subtrim)

With this item you can adjust the servo neutral position of the selected receiver channel.

4. 4.

Page 40

computer radio control system

Advice:

When building a model try to mechanically adjust the neutral positions as perfectly as possible. If you are going to use a high „Center (Subtrim)“ value in order to set-up a servo neutral, the resulting servo throw will be restricted.

4. Max Positive/Max Negative Throw

This item sets the useable end points of the transmitter output function, i.e. how far the transmitter control element can move each surface. This functon is used to set your maximum control throws for flight and to limit any potential binding of a linkage or surface. This limit can be exceeded by the use of mixes or combined functions.

Note:

The size of the maximum throw can influence trim settings, dual rate throws and other proportional setups.

5. Max Positive/Max Negative Limit

These restrict the absolute throw of the receiver channel output. This limit can never be exceeded by any combination of functions or mixes.

6. Servo Reversing

Use this item to reverse the direction of a servo’s travel.

7. Delay of positive/negative

This item allows you to delay the servo channel‘s travel time between both end points. This can be defined for the positive and for the negative value (each travel direction). For instance, the opening of a landing gear can be slower, than when it retracts.

Advice:

This function is great for timing retract gear servos.

Advice:

You can adjust the throw limit to prevent a surface or linkage from hitting a mechanical stop or to prevent the servo from over-driving its mechanical throw range. This allows you to prevent mechanical servo damage.

9.2.1 Flight Modes

The purpose of programming Flight Modes is to provide the ability to activate a group of settings that will optimize your flight control of your model. Flight Modes can just as easily represent settings for Take Off, Soaring, Landing and much more. They can be used in any particular situation where different settings of basic flight parameters is desirable. The DC-16 gives you the advantage of a wide variety of programing options.

Up to 10 different flight modes are available for every single model. Each one of these flight modes can be named differently for instant recognition. Only one of the flight modes can be active at any given time. With a little practice you will discover that creating your flight modes in logical order can prevent confusion in a critical situation. Flight mode control can be assigned to any of the switches, sticks, or knobs of the transmitter.

Flight Mode Configuration

• Some of the configuration settings come in two options. G-

global (globe symbol) and S-Separate. Switching from G to S, system let you set up each flight mode individually.

Warning:

When you switch from Global to Separate settings; all values will be copied directly to existing flight modes.

• If the flight mode configuration is set to S, each flight mode’s

values can be set independently from the other flight modes. When you switch to different flight modes the pre-set position of an output (a control surface, for example) can be changed to optimize the control system of your model.

• Also, if the flight mode configuration is set to S, different

variables for each function can be assigned to each flight mode. The assigned control switch can control multiple values within each flight mode.

• After creating a flight mode, this will become system wide

settings for all future models.

4. 4.

Page 42

computer radio control system

Advice:

If no flight mode is required, do not change the pre-set configuration.

Adding Flight Modes1.

Pressing the “F3 (Add)” button creates a new flight mode. Simply highlight existing mode and press “F3 (New)” button. A copy confirmation menu appears on the screen, use the function keys to continue.

Press the “F5 (Yes)” button to create copy of the existing flight mode.

Press the“F3 (No)” button to create a new flight mode.

Press the“F1 (Esc)” button to be taken to main flight mode menu screen.

Naming Flight Modes 2.

We recommend naming flight modes according to their function, for

example: Take Off, Soaring, Autorotation….

Flight mode names/labels can be easily edited at any time.

3. Flight Mode Delays

The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one flight control state to another. Sudden changes in the positions of your control surfaces can negatively affect performance or even create a critical situation. The Time delay can help you avoid this situation.

Advice:

If the desired result is not already tested or fully known (maiden flight), always make sure that you have set enough time delay for all of the changes to be implemented and that you have plenty of time to properly respond.

Warning:

4. Flight Mode Activation

A flight mode ca n b e a ctivated by any control de vice (Switch/Knob/Stick). When you select a switch and by editing its desired assignment you can activate and pick the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn flight mode ON or OFF (see chapter 9.7). You can use the visual indicator in the switch

Throttle hold is not affected by the time delay. This function will always be performed instantly.

4. 4.

column to help you determinate the ON or OFF switch position for each flight mode.

• Check Mark – ON Position

• X Mark – OFF Position

When the flight mode is activated the flight mode name can be seen the top of the desktop screen.

Name of the current flight mode.

Flight Mode Activation Priorities5.

If you have created multiple flight modes that can match a given flight condition but that vary in their specific details (Landing in strong or light wind). You can create the order in which those modes can be turned on. The Numeric order will determine your priorities.

A lower number equals a higher mode priority. The initial flight mode has always the lowest priority.

6. Flight Mode Default and Reset

Any of the created flight modes can be pre-set as a future default. Simply highlight your choice and press the “F4 (Opt.)” button to see confirmation menu. Pick the, “Set as a Default Flight Mode” option and the flight mode is now set as your new default.

7. Deleting a Flight Mode

To delete a flight mode:

Highlight the desired flight mode and press the “F4 (Opt.)” a) button to see the options menu.

Scroll and select the “Delete flight mode” option and press the b) “F5 (OK)” button to make the final confirmation.

The initial flight mode is set as a default and can not be deleted.

8. Flight Mode Reset

All of the flight modes can be reset to basic settings at the same time. Simply highlight any flight mode and press the “F4 (Opt.)” button then use the “Reset all flight modes” option to reset all flight modes to their basic settings. All previous changes will be deleted and the flight modes will be reset to the G (Global) setting.

4. 4.

Page 44

computer radio control system

This is useful when you are setting up a new model from a copied model and you want different flight modes.

Advice:

After you make a configuration change or perform a reset, always check all flight modes.

9.2.2 Digital trim

Fully programmable digital trims are located right under transmitter gimbals as a set of four directional buttons. All adjustments and step changes are made in the “Digital Trim” menu. You can assign different trim ranges and trim steps to every trim control function.

The “F3 (Trim)” button switches your desktop display to the main trim screen where you can instantly observe your setup changes.

1. Digital Trim Programmable Steps

Trim step changes are made in the “Step” menu column, a larger percentage number equals more movement with each press of the trim button.

Advice:

For a maiden flight we recommend using larger trim steps. After familiarizing yourself with your model’s behavior you can switch to smaller steps for finer trimming.

2. Trim Range

Trim range changes are made in the“Rate” menu columns which show the trim’s percentage of possible travel. Both negative and positive travel can be adjusted individually.

3. Global or Separate Trim Setting

The trim configuration for all main functions can be set collectively for all flight modes by keeping the “G (globe symbol)” setting or they can be set in each flight mode individually by selecting the “SSeparate” setting.

9.2.3 Flight Mode Trims

This menu allows you to set the function output position (if needed) for each flight mode individually. For example: if your elevator needs to be raised in one of your flight modes but not the others. Each function output can be set either globally or separately.

1. Servo Position

A transmitter output channel can be assigned to more than one receiver output channel if needed. Adjusting the values in the individual columns marked “S1-S4” will change the position of the servo (surface) for each output function. The servo position is displayed as a percentage of the total servo travel.

Pressing the “F3 (Clr)” button resets the highlighted line’s travel values to 0%.

4. 4.

Page 45

computer radio control system

Pressing the “F1 (Sym.)” turns ON/OFF the lock which allows each output to be adjusted either together (symmetrically), or independantly.

2. Trim Travel Global or Separate Setting

The servo trim position for each function output can be set either collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe symbol)” or individually for each separate flight mode by selecting “S-

Separate”.

9.2.4 Dual Rate/Exponential

This menu allows you to set up dual or triple rates for any of your created output functions. Any of the channels can be set with dual/triple rates and custom exponential settings. Exponential settings can significantly increase your control precision by making your stick movements (around center point) yield less control movement. At the same time, the end points of the control surface throw can be set to its extremes.

1. Expo Global or Separate Setting

Expo configuration for all channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-Global (globe)” symbol or you can allow individual expo settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. Expo/Dual Rates Switch Assignment

By selecting “Switch Option” you will access the“Select Input (e) Control” screen where you can select the control element that you

wish to control the dual rate and/or expo for the selected function. For simple dual rates; a 2-position switch is sufficient. For more complex triple-rates; any 3-position switch or one of the fully proportional channels can be selected. After your selected switch has been assigned. While the “Select Input Control” screen is still visable you can change the switch travel by using “F2 (Prop.)” button to select the proportional setting. The correct function can be verified in the “Dual Rate Edit” screen by activating the switch and observing the position number change to “Position 1-2” for a two position switch or, if 3-position switch is used, to “Position 1-23”. For a 3-position switch you will also need to use the „F1 (Centr)“ button before all three positions will be correctly displayed.

Expo/Dual Rates Travel Setting 3.

Every switch position can define a different function and (b) exponential value. Any change made to the settings can be directly observed on graphic interface .(f)

Dual/Triple rate setting is defined by percentage of the travel . A (c) higher number increases travel, a lower number decreases travel.

Expo rate is defined by percentage of the function curve Zero (d). rate represents linear function. As expo rate increases linear travel changes to exponential “curve” travel.

Exponential and Dual rate settings combined with flight modes create virtually unlimited customizability.

Advice:

For smooth, precise flight we highly recommend setting up exponential and dual rates.

Flight Mode Delay Enable

In the menu Fine Tuning->Function Curves, it is possible to activate/deactivate a delay for a specific function while switching between flight modes. Specifically, in the picture, it is the 5th column (FM. Delay) that allows this. The activation of a delay also might be flight-mode specific (i.e.: in first flight mode the delay is activated

and in the second mode it is disabled). There are some specific conditions where setting this option for one function has an effect in another function.

• If V-Tail is selected, the option influences both rudder and

elevator.

• If Delta wing is selected, the option influences both elevator

and aileron.

• If electronic heli swash mix is selected, the option influences all

functions of the swash plate (roll, pitch, and elevator).

1. Programming Function Curves

The Function Curves programming screen can be accessed by highlighting “Curve” window and pressing “3D Control” button or directly accessed by simply pressing “F4” button. Either way, you will be taken to the highlighted function’s curve option screen.

Available Options:

1. Function Curve Setting

You can select the function curve which best fits your application. You can choose one of the pre-programmed 3-9 point ones or select any of custom symmetrical curves.

You can edit a function curve from inside the graphic interface by moving the displayed control points.

All of the points can be moved in both horizontal and vertical directions. Using the “3D Control” or the “F3” and “F4” buttons you can move the curve points in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction by using the “F1” and “F2” buttons.

By pressing the “3D Control” button you can switch between the individual curve points. Pressing the “Esc” function will return you to the previous control point. On the left side of the graphic interface you will see the percentage representation of your selected control point’s position. “In” and “Out” percentage numbers represent

actual input and output position of a given control point.

2. Function Curve Delay

The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. The function of the “Delay” is to slow down the movement of a control surface in relationship to the position of the stick. Example: a negative number “-” slows movement of the rudder from moving right to left, a positive “+” number slows rudder movement from left to right.

4. 4.

Page 49

computer radio control system

3. Global or Separate Function Curve Setting

The function curve configuration for all channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-Global (globe)” symbol or you can set individual function curve settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

9.2.6 Aileron Differential

The aileron differential function reduces the downward travel of the aileron(s) to help eleminate any adverse yaw tendencies in rolling maneuvers. Semi-Symmetrical airfoils with an aileron in the down position induce higher drag than when the aileron is in the up position. Therefore, the aileron travel up and down has to be set differently. The number of aileron servos displayed depends upon the selected wing type of your airplane; the maximum number is four “S1-S4”.

1. Aileron Differential Global or Separate Setting

The aileron differential for all channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-Global (globe)” symbol or you can allow individual aileron differential settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. Aileron Differential Setting

All of the ailerons can have different travel ranges. The different adjustments are displayed in columns marked „S1-S4”. The number of servos in use is equal to the number of displayed setup columns. The travel range for each servo can be set. Scroll and highlight either the “Up” or “Down” menu line with “3D Control” button. Press the „3D Control“ button to access and edit the settings for each servo. If

4. 4.

Page 50

computer radio control system

the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the “F1 (Sym.)” button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line.

3. Tuning of Aileron Differential

You can now assign a proportional control and the adjustment rate. When moving the control, the differential rates are updated accordingly: up-rate is increased and the down-rate is decreased depending on the adjustment rate and position of the control. In the picture the real differential rates are enclosed in parenthesis.

The „F(3) Apply” button clears the adjustment rate and stores the real differential values into the editable fields so that the control no longer has any influence.

9.2.7 Ailevator Function

The ailevator function uses two servos for the elevator channel. Both sides can be programmed to be controlled independently. With ailevator function both servos can be mixed together with ailerons and work in sync for better roll control. The Ailevator mix has to be activated by choosing the “Ailevator2H1V” tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the initial settings for “Ailevator” function are 50% of the elevator and aileron travels.

1. Ailevator Global or Separate Setting

The Ailevator configuration for both channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G (globe)” symbol or you can set individual Ailevator settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. Ailevator Setting

Ailevator configuration has four different adjustable parameters. The lines marked “Elevator” and “Aileron” contain two columns “S1” and “S2” which represent the elevator and aileron surface throws as a percentage. Scroll and highlight the lines marked as

“Elevator” or “Aileron” with the “3D Control” button and press the “3D Control” button to access the individual setting of each servo. If

the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the “F1 (Sym.)” button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line.

4. 4.

Page 51

9.2.8 V-Tail Mix

If your model is equipped with a V-Tail, The two basic tail functions (rudder and elevator) are mixed to control the tail of the airplane. The V-Tail mix has to be activated by choosing the “V-Tail 2H” tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the initial settings for “V-Tail” function are 50% of the rudder and elevator travels.

1. V-Tail Global or Separate Setting

The V-Tail configuration for both channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G (globe)” symbol or you can set individual V-Tail settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. V-Tail Setting

The V-Tail configuration has four different adjustable parameters. The lines marked “Elevator” and “Rudder” contain two columns “S1” and “S2” which represent the elevator and aileron surface throws as a percentage. Scroll and highlight the lines marked as “Elevator” or “Rudder” with the “3D Control” button and press the “3D Control” button to access the individual setting of each servo. If the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the “F1 (Sym.)” button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line.

9.2.9 Delta/Elevon Mix

The Delta/Elevon Mix uses two servos for the control of both the elevator and aileron functions. This mix is most commonly used for Delta type aircraft. The elevon mix has to be activated by choosing the “None – Elevon/Delta” tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the default settings for the “Delta/Elevon” function are 50% of the aileron and elevator travels.

1. Delta/Elevon Global or Separate Setting

The Delta/Elevon configuration for both channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G (globe)” symbol or you can set individual Delta/Elevon settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. Delta/Elevon Setting

Delta /Elevon confi guration has four different adjustable parameters. The lines marked “Elevator” and “Aileron” contain two columns “S1” and “S2” which represent the elevator and aileron surface throws as a percentage. Scroll and highlight the lines marked as “Elevator” or “Aileron” with the “3D Control” button and press the “3D Control” button to access the individual setting of

each servo. If the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the “F1 (Sym.)” button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line.

9.2.10 Butterfly Mix (Crow Mix)

The basic configuration of the butterfly mix (also known as crow) is created by using ailerons, flaps, and elevator flying surfaces. The Butterfly/Crow mix is helpful for maintaining speed during fast descends and creating controlled drag for spot landings.

1. Butterfly/Crow Activation

The Butterfly mix can be activated by any control element (Switch/Knob/Stick). By selecting the switch and by editing the desired assignment you can activate and select the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn the Butterfly mix ON or OFF. This menu line includes a visual graphic to show the ON or OFF position of your selected switch.

2. Butterfly/Crow Delay

The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. Function of the “Delay” is to slow down the

movement of the control surfaces during the change. Increasing the number on the positive side “+” slows the deployment while increasing the number on the negative side “-” slows return of the surfaces to their original positions.

3. Butterfly/Crow Global or Separate Setting

The Butterfly/Crow mix configuration settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe)” symbol or you can allow individual aileron differential settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

4. Butterfly/Offset

Due to the request of many sailplane pilots this function was updated. Now expanded to four screens, there are several added options in this menu.

a. You can set an offset to the butterfly control so that there will be

a specified dead zone at the beginning of the control stick’s travel.

4. 4.

below).

b. Ailerons/Flaps Adjustment

In the Ailerons/Flaps Adjustment menu you can set all the travel needed for butterfly braking (for the flaps and ailerons). Also, you can set a parameter called Diff. adjust which influences the aileron differential. Positive values increase the upper travel of the aileron servos, negative values increase the lower travel of the aileron servos.

d. Butterfly Tuning menu

Screen of the Butterfly menu allows you to fine tune all braking travels through one proportional control (stick, knob or switch). The values you set in this screen are added/subtracted to the appropriate butterfly travels. The way these values influence servo deflections depends on the position of the butterfly's control stick and the position of the butterfly's Tuning control.

The „F(3)Apply” button operates similarly as in the Aileron Differential menu. If you press this button, the values set in the „Butterfly Tuning” menu are copied into the appropriate travels in the „Butterfly Ailerons/Flaps/Elevator Adjustment” menu. After that, all values in the Butterfly Tuning menu are initially set to zero (so that the tuning control no longer has an effect).

c. Elevator compensation

The butterfly mixing is always from zero to the full stick position so the curve is a little bit modified to control the whole travel range. You can choose between a standard curve, constant and X-point curve types.

9.2.11 Free Mixes

The Free (programmable) mixes are used to make a second or „slave“ channel react as a result of the original channel’s input or by moving any Switch, Knob or Stick. Any of the channels can be (Freely) mixed with any other function, assignment or logical switch. Up to 20 free mixes can be programmed for any given model. The primary channel (“Master/From”) specifies the control or input function, while the channel that reacts to the Master is called the “Slave/To” channel. The “Master Value” represents the percentage of „slave“ channel travel output performed when the „Master“ channel function is used.

1. Copying a Free Mix

Highlight an existing free mix and use the “F1 (Copy)” button to create a copy of the existing mix.

2. Creating a Free Mix

Use the “F2 (Add)” button to create a new free mix. The Primary channel called “Master/From” specifies the input function, while the channel that reacts to the Master is called the “Slave/To” channel. The last variable on the screen is the “Master Value” which represents the percentage of the slave channel’s mix/travel. After your model‘s basic configuration is finished, use the “F5 (Next)”

button to exit the free mix screen. If you need to make any changes simply highlight the desired free mix and press the “F4 (Edit)” button to reach the advanced settings menu for that free mix.

a). Free Mix Setting

The free mix configuration settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe)” symbol or you can allow individual free mix settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

b) Free Mix Activation

A free mix can be activated by any Switch/Knob/Stick. By selecting “Switch” and by editing the desired assignment you can activate and choose the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn the mix ON or OFF or even control its throw proportionally. This menu line includes a visual graphic to show the ON or OFF position of your selected switch. If you do not select any switch then the mix is always ON.

c) Free Mix Curve Programming

This programming screen can be accessed by highlighting the “Curve” item and by either using the “3D Control” button or by pressing the “F4 (Curve)” button. By accessing the “Mixer Curve” function screen you can select the mix curve which best fits your application.

d) Free Mix Deployment Delay

The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. Values adjusted in the “Source” item will slow down full mix deployment when the mix is ON (switched ON or always ON) and the master channel master channel changes its value. In this item, when you add a delay to only one side (- or +), the mix deployment will be slow in one direction only (-100% to 100%) or (100% to -100%). When you add a delay to both the negative (-) and the positive (+) sides then your mix will be slowed in both throw directions.

e) Free Mix Activation/Deactivation Delay

The „Switch“ values can only used when you have assigned a switch to turn the mix ON and OFF. This delay operates independently from the „Source“ values. The positive side of a delay is applied if the mix

is activated using Activation Switch. The negative side is used if the mix is deactivated and both slow down any fast reactions while turning the mix ON and OFF.

f) Free Mix Multiple Servo Settings

If the mix uses more than one output function as the slave then the “Output Mix” menu will appear. This menu allows you to edit the settings for the individual slave servos (S1-S4).

g) Free Mix Directional Positive/Negative Movements

Once the free mix function is created you can edit the advanced settings menu so that the mix will either add to or reduce a slave function‘s movement. To do this, you can set the mix value as a positive percentage or a negative percentage.

h) Using Another Free Mix to control a Free Mix

A free mix can be controlled by just a control input function (Master) or it can also be controlled by another free mix’s control function (Slave). Here is how to create a free mix who’s input is controlled by an existing free mixer output:

• To allow a free mix to control another free mix you must enable

the “Slave Link” option. This allows the free mix to act as input for other free mixes. Use the “3D button” to highlight and select this option. You will see a check mark if the option is enabled and an X if it is disabled. You will also use the (+) or (-) to determine the mix direction.

• To allow a free mix to be controlled by another mix you must

enable the “Master Link” option. This allows the free mix to accept the input from other free mixes. Use the “3D button” to highlight and select this option. You will see a check mark if the option is enabled and an X if it is disabled. You will also use the (+) or (-) to determine the mix direction.

4. 4.

i) Free Mix Trim Settings

This item allows you to enable or disable whether trim functions will influence the free mix or not.

j) Free Mix Control by Dual Rates

With this item you can activate or deactivate the “Slave Dual-Rate” function for the free mix. This settings allows the slave output to be affected by dual rate inputs. All adjustments can be visually inspected right away in the servo monitor page by pressing the “F2 (Servo)” button. Pressing the “F5 (Ok)” button returns you back to free mix screen.

3. Deleting a Free Mix

Press the “F3 (Del)” button to delete the highlighted free mix.

4. Configuration & Setting

A free mix programming screen can be accessed by highlighting the selected mix and then pressing the “F4 (Edit)” button.

9.2.12 Governor/Gyro

Typically, a gyro is used to stablize a model helicopter along its vertical axis (rudder). One channel is reserved so that you may adjust the gyro sensitivity (gain) from the transmitter. Also, a separate channel can be reserved for the control of a throttle governor. The governor can be enabled when you create the model or later from the „Model >Basic Properties“ menu. This menu allows you to adjust the settings for both of these output channels. The Governor/Gyro settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe)” symbol or you can allow individual Governor/Gyro settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

1. Gyro Settings

By default, the gyro sensitivity is assigned to the three position „Si“ switch. This allows you to have three different settings (Position 1, Position 2, Position 3) for the gyro sensitivity. You can always assign this function to a different transmitter control element (knob, slider, switch) in the „Model, >Function Assignment“ menu. The Gyro settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe)” symbol or you can allow individual Gyro settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

2. Governor Settings

If you have the governor function enabled, by default, the governor sensitivity is assigned to the three position „Sg“ switch. This allows you to have three different settings (Position 1, Position 2, Position 3) for the governor sensitivity. You can always assign this function to a different transmitter control element (knob, slider, switch) in the „Model, >Function Assignment“ menu. The governor settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the “G-(globe)” symbol or you can allow individual governor settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the “S-Separate” symbol.

9.2.13 Throttle Limiter

If you have several flight modes and all of them have specific throttle curves, the Throttle Limiter might help you to get the motor's RPM safely from the lowest to the maximum RPM that is controlled by your throttle curve.

You are free to choose any control device (proportional or a switch) that will operate as a speed limiter. It doesn't allow the throttle to go any higher than the position that this control shows. The limiter operates within a specified range (negative and positive rate, “- Rate +”). Using the “-” rate you can set the lowest motor RPM you want to use. This is the point where the limiter begins its operation. The “+” rate represents the maximum possible output of your throttle channel. If your application needs full throttle, you should set the “+” rate to a value higher than 100% so that the full throttle output is not limited.

It is possible to set some delay for this control (if it is assigned to a switch) so that the motor goes smoothly from low to high RPM (and vice versa). Finally, the Exponential parameter enables you to finetune the output at lower RPM and the whole acceleration curve.

The throttle limiter also influences mixes where the throttle acts as the source. The trim function is not influenced by the throttle limiter. If a control device is not assigned, the throttle limiter function is disabled.

9.3. Advanced Properties

Advanced programming menu for DC/DS-16.

9.3.1 Other Model Options

This menu contains additional, special features of the DC/DS-16 transmitters.

1. Auto-Trim Function

Auto-Trim function can be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. Once this function has been activated you can trim your model using transmitter gimbals. The direction and speed of the trim adjustment is determined by stick movement. Larger stick movements equal a faster trim response. When the Auto-Trim function is active, the transmitter gimbals do not change their standard response. The transmitter is still in normal operation mode.

Advice:

It is advised to use the automatic trim function only for the maiden flight, after proper trimming is done we recommend disabling this function.

2. Trainer Function

The Trainer function can be set so that it may be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick.

3. Telemetry Recording

The Telemetry recording function can be set so that it may be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. The data stream is recorded on the internal SD memory card. All data can be found in the “Log” directory of the transmitter software after connecting the Tx to the PC via a USB port. Active data recording is indicated on the upper edge of the main desktop screen by a blinking circle. A solid square graphic indicates that recording is stopped.

4. Throttle Cut Setting

This safety feature is mainly for models using glow or gasoline engines as their main source of power. Electric models can also highly benefit from this safety feature. The Throttle Cut function can be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. By editing the “Output Value” item, the throttle output will move to the user
