URPOSE
Trainer-mode (teacher-pupil, buddy-box) operation is the
fast, secure way to learn the basic skills of model flying.
The wireless Trainer Stick with 2.4 GHz M-LINK tech-
nology (hereinafter "Trainer Stick") in conjunction
with a 2.4 GHz M-LINK Pupil transmitter eliminates the
need for a conventional Trainer lead.
The Trainer Stick is plugged into the DIN multi-function
socket of the MULTIPLEX Teacher transmitter, and bound
to the pupil's 2.4 GHz M-LINK transmitter.
The teacher initially has control of the model from his own
transmitter, and transfers the control functions of the
trainer model to the pupil, i.e. to the pupil's transmitter.
At any time - at launch or in any critical situation - the
teacher can resume full control of the model simply by
operating a switch or button on his transmitter.
During the beginner's first attempts at flying this keeps the
risk to man and material within reasonable limits, and
makes the initial steps much simpler and safer.
Advantages of the Trainer Stick:
Full freedom of movement for teacher and pupil.
The stick allows the teacher and pupil to stand twenty
metres apart if desired.
No more hindrances during preparation, launch or
when flying the model.

The system eliminates the usual obstructive Trainer
lead.
Up to six control functions can be transferred to
the pupil, depending on the Teacher transmitter.
If necessary, the teacher can transfer only a few con-
trol functions to the pupil, or even just one function; in
this case the teacher continues to control all the other
functions (selective trainer mode). This is easier for the
pupil, especially right at the start of his or her model
flying career, as there is no need to control all the
model's functions right from the outset.

PPLICATION
The wireless Trainer Stick with 2.4 GHz FHSS M-LINK
technology has been developed exclusively for modelling
applications. It is prohibited to use the unit for industrial
applications or in man-carrying equipment or vehicles.
5.
C
OMPATIBILITY
The Trainer Stick can be used in conjunction with any of
the following transmitters.
Suitable Pupil transmitters:
Any MULTIPLEX transmitter exploiting
2.4 GHz M-LINK technology.
It makes no difference whether the M-LINK system
was fitted as standard, or retro-fitted **.
Any Graupner/JR transmitter fitted with one of these
4.).
MULTIPLEX 2.4 GHz M-LINK RF modules:
HFMG1 M-LINK
HFMG2 M-LINK
HFMG3 M-LINK
Suitable Teacher transmitters:
Any MULTIPLEX transmitter with DIN multi-function
socket and Trainer functionality.
It makes no difference whether the transmitter uses
2.4 GHz M-LINK technology or standard xx MHz **
Restrictions:
* MULTIPLEX transmitters with a retro-fitted 2.4 GHz
HFMx M-LINK RF module are not suitable for use as
Teacher transmitter in conjunction with the Trainer Stick.
In this case the DIN multi-function socket on the trans-
mitter is already occupied by the HFMx M-LINK module.
** The following transmitter combinations are also not
suitable for Trainer operations with the Trainer Stick:
Older MULTIPLEX Teacher transmitters with the "MPX"
transmission format (1.6 ms servo neutral signal) in
conjunction with a COCKPIT SX M-LINK or ROYALevo/
pro Pupil transmitter with M-LINK technology.
! Note:
The RF equipment in the trainer model must "match" the
teacher transmitter:
This means that the model must be bound to the Teacher
transmitter (assuming 2.4 GHz M-LINK operation), or
must be set up on the same channel (xx MHz operation)
and the same transmission mode (PPM or PCM) as the
Teacher transmitter.
