The continued development of model helicopters and 
helicopter components, such as gyros, speed governors, 
rotor blades etc., has led to the current position where 
helicopters are capable of sophisticated 3-D aerobatics. 
In contrast, if you are a beginner to helicopter flying, you 
need a simple set-up so that you can quickly get started 
on the initial stages of hovering practice, and then 
gradually learn to exploit all the options provided by the 
mx-16 HoTT.
The helicopter program of the 
mx-16 HoTT can cope 
with all current model helicopters equipped with 1 … 4 
servos for collective pitch control, entirely regardless of 
whether they are powered by a fuel-driven or electric 
motor.
Each model memory can include three flight phases 
plus auto-rotation.
Two timers are constantly included in the basic screen 
display. At the same time the period which has elapsed 
since the last charge process is also displayed.
You can return to the correct idle position for the digital 
Ch 1 trim simply by pressing a button.
“Dual Rate” and “Exponential” are available for roll, 
pitch-axis and tail rotor; they can be coupled together, 
and programmed to provide two settings.
All the transmitter controls (CTRL) and switches (SW) 
can be assigned to inputs 5 … 8 in virtually any order. 
This is carried out in the “
Transmitter control settings” 
menu.
In addition to three linear mixers, which can be assigned 
to any functions and can also be switched on and off, 
the “
Helicopter mixers” menu provides five-point curves 
for the collective pitch, throttle and tail rotor mixers, 
variable separately for each flight phase; these provide 
non-linear mixer characteristics.
1. Collective pitch
2. Ch 1  throttle
3. Ch 1  tail rotor
Such advanced features are not needed by the begin-
ner, who will initially simply set the hover point to coin-
cide with the centre point of the stick arc, and adjust the 
collective pitch travel as required.
Moreover the “
Heli mixers” menu offers two additional 
set-up options in the lines “Gyro” and “Inp8”, plus a 
swashplate limiter”.
The mixer inputs for collective pitch, roll and pitch-axis 
can then be adjusted in the “
Swashplate mixers” menu.
The throttle limit function in the “
Transmitter control 
settings” menu provides an effective means of starting 
the motor in any flight phase. By default the proportional 
rotary control CTRL 7 is assigned to this input, and this 
control function determines the maximum throttle servo 
position, i. e. the trim lever controls the motor over the 
idle range. Only when this rotary knob is turned in the di-
rection of full-throttle do the programmed throttle curves 
take effect. If you have set up the two timers, they also 
start recording the flight time automatically at this point.
