Programming example: F3A model aircraft
F3A models belong to the category of powered fi xed-
wing model aircraft designed for competition fl ying. They
may be powered by an internal combustion engine or
an electric motor. Electric-powered models are eligible
and totally competitive in the international F3A “pattern”
class, and also in the F5A electric aerobatic class.

class, and also in the F5A electric aerobatic class.
In this programming example we assume that you have
already read through the description of the individual
menus, and are therefore familiar with the general
method of handling the transmitter.
On page 144, where the section on fi xed-wing model
programming starts, you will fi nd general notes on
installing and setting up the RC system in a model,
and - of course - this applies equally to F3A models, and
therefore does not need to be repeated at this point.
If an F3A model is accurately built, it usually exhibits fl y-
ing characteristics which are almost completely neutral.
The perfect aerobatic model has a very smooth but pre-
cise control response, and any movement around any
one of its fl ight axes should not affect the other axes.
F3A models are fl own using aileron, elevator and rudder
controls. The use of separate servos for each aileron is
almost universal. The fl ying controls are supplemented
by control of motor power (throttle function) and in many
cases a retractable undercarriage. As a result the servo
assignment for channels 1 to 5 is no different from the
already read through the description of the individual
menus, and are therefore familiar with the general
method of handling the transmitter.

The auxiliary function “Retracts” is usually assigned to
the auxiliary channel 6. Ideally the retracts are oper-
ated using the switch without a centre detent (SW 3).
An optional “extra” - used only if necessary - is mixture
adjustment control for the carburettor. This is gener-
ally operated by one of the rotary proportional controls
CTRL 7 or 8, connected to one of the auxiliary channels
not already in use.

When assigning functions to the auxiliary channels at
the transmitter, it is advisable to ensure that the controls
required are within easy reach, since the advanced
aerobatic pilot has very little time to think about letting
go of the sticks - especially when fl ying under competi-
tion conditions.

… you can adjust the servo settings to suit your model.
It has proved advisable to use at least 100% servo
travel, as precision of control can be perceptibly better if
relatively large servo travels are employed. This should
be borne in mind when building the model and design-
ing the control surface linkages. Any minor corrections
required can be made in the third column during the
initial test fl ights.

… and activate the idle trim for Channel 1 (normally
“Idle back”; i. e. full-throttle forward). The digital trim
now works at the idle end of stick travel. The “cut-off
trim” enables you to switch immediately from the “motor
stopped” position to the idle position you have previously
established just by applying a single “click” on the trim
lever (see page 40).
