Setting up fl ight phases

When you set up fl ight phases for fi xed-wing 
aircraft models, you start with this menu. You 
assign individual phases a name and also assign 
a period of time for a (soft) transition into each 
phase. Note that – depending on your model and 
your settings – switch times much longer than the 
default 0.1 s have proven useful. You can also set up 
several phases with names and transition times even 
if you don't currently have a use for them, since the 
decision as to which of the "occupied" phases you 
activate is made only on the »Phase assignment«
menu (page 148) when setting "phase switches".
Whether or not one of the phases 1 … 8 currently has 
an assigned switch and the state of the switch can be 
seen in the "status" column at the far right.

Briefl y tap on the center 

 key of the right touch 

pad then assign the needed phases (phase 1 up to 
maximum of 8 phases) by picking their names from 
the selection list with the selection keys of the left or 
right touch pad. In addition to this standard pool of 
names, the »General basic settings« menu, page 
261, permits up to 10 names of personal preference 
to be defi ned.

Use the selection keys of the left or right touch pad 
to scroll to the »Phase settings« menu option in the 
multi-function menu:

Within one model memory, the 

mc-20

 HoTT lets 

you program up to 8 discrete groups of settings for 
various conditions met during the fl ight. The grouped 
settings are typically termed "fl ight phases" and are 
programmed in the corresponding menus.
Depending on the setting "Throttle min. forward/
back" or "None" in the "Motor on C1" line of the 
»Model type« menu, calling up the »Phase settings«
menu option will cause the transmitter's display to look 
like one of the two variants shown below …

The order in which phases 1 to max. 8 are assigned is 
entirely irrelevant and you can leave gaps as you wish. 
Nonetheless, you should always start with "Phase 1", 
the "Normal phase", which is always active if …

… no phase switch is set in the »

•

assignment« menu or if
no phase has been assigned to specifi c 

•

combinations of switches.

The defi nition of the phase name "Normal" could 
therefore be a useful one to adopt for "Phase 1". 
The names themselves have absolutely no technical 
signifi cance for programming; their only purpose is to 
help you to identify which phase is active at any time 
and are thus displayed in all fl ight phase-dependent 
menus and also on the transmitter's basic display.

In addition to the standard timers on the basic screen 
display, other timers are also available whose settings 
are confi gured in the »Flight phase timers« menu, 
page 156.

Clk 1, Clk 2, Clk 3, Lap, Time1, Time2
The fl ight phase timers "Clk 1 … 3" plus "Time1" 
and "Time2" run only in the fl ight phase to which 
they have been assigned in this menu. 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, however, although it can 
be stopped during any fl ight phase via the center 

 key of the left touch pad.

While you can obviously record lap times using "Lap" 
and a switch, the two timers "Time1" and "Time2" 
have the following meaning:
Time 1This timer will only measure time during which 

the switch or control switch assigned in the "Lap 
time/Tim tab" line of the »Flight phase timers«
menu, page 156, is "closed". The frequency at 
which the switch is activated is shown on the
