Fl. phase timers
Selecting and setting
A description of how timers are assigned to a fl ight
phase has already been provided in the text for the
»Phase settings« menu, page 142 and 146. The
same section has also described the properties of
"Time1" and "Time2". This section now proceeds to
describe "Timer 1, 2 and 3" and the "lap counter/time
table" timer variants.
The additional, fl ight phase-specifi c timer selected
is displayed on the basic display underneath the
"center" timer, as shown below:

(i.e. timers that run forward) or as countdown/alarm

(i.e. timers that run forward) or as countdown/alarm
timers (i.e. timers that run backwards). You can assign
any switch to these timers, and the same is true of the

Timer
The fl ight phase timers "Timer 1 … 3" and the
"Time1"/"Time2" timers (described in the »Phase
settings« section, pp. 142 and 146) run only in the
fl ight phase to which they have been assigned. They
are also shown as appropriate on the basic display.
During other fl ight phases they are stopped (and
hidden) and the assigned stop/start switch then has
no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run
through changes of phase (as discussed further
below), however, although it can be stopped during
any fl ight phase via the center

These timers are started and stopped via a switch or
control switch. To do so, fi rst use the selection keys
to select the appropriate column via the switch icon
at the bottom right. Then set the switch that you want
by briefl y tapping the center

transmitter controls, switches and control switches"
(p. 56). Here, too, a control switch offers you the
option of activating the timer via one of the joysticks
or proportional controls. The switching point along
the transmitter control travel is set on the »Control
switch« menu (page 135).
Remember that the timer switches also remain active
in programming mode.

Switching between "forwards" and "backwards"
Stopwatch mode (timer runs forwards)
In this mode, the timer starts at the initial value "0:00"
(min:sec) when you operate the assigned switch. If
it reaches the maximum time of 180 min. and 59 s, it
will re-start at "0:00".
