18.4. Sub-menu: Flight phases

Flight phases are groups of settings (data) which can be
called up for a particular model by operating a switch.
The settings can be optimised for different flight tasks.
For each flight phase you can adjust the transmitter
control settings individually to suit the requirements of
the model (e.g. reduced travels for SPEED, extended
flaps for LANDING, different collective pitch and throttle
curves for model helicopters, ...). All the settings which
can be modified for the various flight phases are as-
signed the code numbers 1 ... 3 or 4 associated with the
flight phase ( 14.). The ROYALevo7 also features flight
phase specific digital trims (
set separately for each flight phase, and the settings are
stored permanently. This simply means that the model
is always perfectly trimmed in each flight phase.
For fixed-wing model aircraft we have provided three
flight phases. Flight phases 1 ... 3 are selected using
switch J: "F-PH 1-3".
For model helicopters an additional fourth flight phase
is provided for auto-rotation. This is selected using
switch I "A-ROT", and always has highest priority. This
means: the auto-rotation flight phase AUTOROT is al-
ways activated when switch I "A-ROT" is operated, re-
gardless of the flight phase 1 ...3 currently selected us-
ing switch J "F-PH 1-3".
The transition between flight phases is "soft" (it takes
about one second), in order to avoid sudden servo
movements when the change-over is made. The excep-
tion to this rule is the auto-rotation flight phase with
model helicopters. If you operate switch I "A-ROT", the
transition to the AUTOROT flight phase occurs immedi-
ately.
The Flight phase menu for a fixed-wing model may look
like Fig. 1; for a helicopter like Fig. 2:
Fig. 1
Fig. 1 contains the following information:
The first column shows the number of the flight
phase, followed by the name of the flight phase
Flight phases 1 and 3 are blocked
(names crossed out)
Flight phase 2 NORMAL is currently active
( x after the name)
The flight phase switch is J> on the right-hand side.
The same applies to the four helicopter flight phases
shown in Fig. 2.

Selecting names for flight phases

The following flight phase names are available:
NORMAL , START1 , START2 , THERMAL1 , THERMAL2 ,
SPEED1 , SPEED2 , CRUISE , LANDING , HOVER , 3D , ACRO
The name serves only as information to the user. The
number of the flight phase is crucial to its properties, i.e.
flight phases of the same name do not necessarily share
the same settings or characteristics.
12.), i.e. the trims can be
Fig. 2
This is the procedure for changing a flight phase
name:
Use the UP / DOWN buttons (L / M ) or one of the two
3D digi-adjustors to select a flight phase, and confirm
your action by pressing the ENTER button or one of the
3D digi-adjustors
field.
You can now select a suitable name using the UP /
DOWN buttons (L / M ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
Press the ENTER button or a 3D digi-adjustor to con-
clude the procedure. Note: this requires a double press
if you have changed the name of the currently active
flight phase.
Exception
The name for flight phase 4 for helicopters is AUTOROT ,
and this cannot be changed.
18.4.2.

Blocking / releasing flight phases

You can release or block any flight phase using the
REV/CLR button. By blocking a flight phase you can
eliminate the danger of launching a model after acci-
dentally selecting a flight phase which does not contain
the correct settings.
If you select a blocked flight phase using one of the
flight phase switches J ("F-PH 1-3") or I ("A-ROT"), you
will hear a continuous warning sound. The last used
flight phase remains active, and its number is shown in
status display 2. The name of the blocked flight phase
which you have selected is shown crossed out.
This is the procedure for blocking / releasing flight
phases:
Select a flight phase, then press the ENTER button or
one of the 3D digi-adjustors to confirm your action
the cursor jumps to the flight phase name. You can now
switch between "free" and "blocked" using the REV/CLR
button.
Selecting another name using the 3D digi-adjustor also
releases a blocked flight phase.
Note:
The currently active flight phase (marked with x ) cannot
be blocked.
18.4.3.

Copying flight phases

We recommend the following procedure if you wish to
make a start using different flight phases:
Begin with just one flight phase, leaving the other flight
phases blocked. Your model should now be test-flown
and all settings carefully optimised. The flight phase can
now be copied. When you switch to the new flight
phase(s) you can be confident that the model will be-
have in the usual manner. All you have to do now is
make the desired modifications to the copies.
