Creating and customising models
Switch assignment
The Setup > Assign.Switches menu contains:
You can use this switch to alternate from the
throttle curve to direct throttle control using the
throttle limiter. Useful for configuring I.C. engines.
Do not use any button here!
Switch for the sum timer, controlled by control F>
(throttle limiter). The sum timer records the motor
run time.
Switch for the main flight phase = AUTOROT
Unused switches are marked with „ --- -" and are not listed here.
9. Assign a switch to all the switched functions that you intend to use.
You can now perform the first functional test with the servo monitor. The model is
not required for this test (see section 5.6.4 "Test run" on page 144).
8.2.3 Preparing controls and switches
Checking / changing the minimum control positions for idle / collective pitch

(# arrow next to the identifier). The minimum position for the throttle limiter is also
set to "back".
To change the setting to "front" proceed as follows:
1. Open the Setup main menu.
2. Open the Assign.Controls menu.
3. Select the control function, e.g. Throttle.
