186 Programming example: model helicopter
Programming example: model helicopter
In this programming example we assume that you 
have already read and understood the descriptions of 
the individual menus, and are by now familiar with the 
general handling of the transmitter. We also assume that 
you have assembled and adjusted the helicopter exactly 
according to the kit instructions. The electronic facilities 
provided by the transmitter should never be used to 
compensate for major mechanical inaccuracies.
As so often in life, there are various ways and means of 
reaching a particular destination when programming the 
mx-16 HoTT. In this example our intention is to provide 
a sensibly structured course of action, so that you have 
a clear idea of logical programming techniques. Where 
there are several possible methods, we first describe the 
simplest and most easily understood solution. It is likely 
that the helicopter will work perfectly when set up in this 
way, but naturally you are still free to try out other solu-
tions at a later stage, in case they suit you better.
As our programming example we take the Graupner 
STARLET 50 helicopter, with right-hand rotation, three 
swashplate linkage points distributed evenly at 120° 
(“3Sv (2 roll)” type), a beginner’s set-up without en-
hanced throttle curve, without heading-lock gyro system, 
no method of influencing the gyro’s “normal operating 
mode” from the transmitter, and with no speed governor 
(regulator).
We have deliberately chosen this simple programming 
project in order to demonstrate that it is possible to set 
up a helicopter which flies extremely well with relatively 
little programming effort.
Nevertheless, we do not want to forfeit all the possible 
refinement facilities: after the basic description you will 
also find set-up notes on gyro gain, speed governors 
and flight phase programming.
Note:
If, in contrast to the glow-powered machine described 
here, your main interest lies in electric-powered model 
helicopters, then please read on! Apart from the idle 
adjustments, which naturally do not apply, you can adopt 
most of the settings described in the following section 
virtually unchanged.
To initiate this typical programming exercise move to the 
Model memory” menu, then to the …
“select model” sub-menu 
… where you select a free model memory using the 
arrow buttons of the left or right-hand touch-key:

After touching the central

touch-key, you can use the  button of the left or right-
hand touch-key to select …

… the “Helicopter” model type. Confirm your choice by 
touching the central 
SET
 button of the right-hand touch-
key, and the screen immediately switches to the basic 
display.
Notes:
Once you have called up the “Model select” option it 
is not possible to interrupt the process, i. e. you must 
choose one or other model type. Even if you switch 
the transmitter off, then on again, you still have to 
make this choice. However, if you make a mistake 
you can always correct it simply by erasing the mod-
el memory.
If the warning message “Throttle too high” appears, 
you can erase it by turning the rotary proportional 
knob CTRL 6 anti-clockwise to its end-point.
If the battery voltage is too low, you will not be able 
to change model memories for safety reasons. In this 
case the screen displays an appropriate message:
not  possible  now
voltage  too  low
Once you have overcome this initial hurdle, it is essential 
to bind the receiver installed in the model to this model 
memory in the …
