HAT WE HAVE DONE
Update
Firmware update to V2.xx
Data set / model data converted from V1.xx (ROYALevo)
to V2.xx (ROYALpro) format, and transferred to the
1)
After the upgrade the HFM-4 or HFM-S RF module from the
ROYALevo must not be re-used!
2)
After the upgrade the ROYALevo aerial (# 89 3002 / L =
~1.05m) must not be re-used!
3)
Data conversion is not possible for ROYALevo 7 transmitters.
The update causes model data to be erased!
Differences between the upgraded ROYALevo and the
ROYALpro:
When the ROYALevo is upgraded, the main circuit board is not
replaced. For this reason:
- The new optional stick-top switches and buttons for the
ROYALpro (# 8 5931 – 8 5933) cannot be used!
- You must continue to observe the information regarding
charging the ROYALevo transmitter battery (see ROYALevo
operating instructions).

MPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE
The data memory of the ROYALpro (V2.xx) is organised in a
different way from that of the ROYALevo (V1.xx), and therefore
cannot be transferred 1 : 1. To avoid the necessity of setting up
your models again from scratch, we have converted the data
memory of the ROYALevo 9 and 12 transmitter into the new
format used by the ROYALpro. Most data will continue to func-
tion perfectly after conversion. However, the new functionality
may prevent a small number of settings being converted per-
fectly. For this reason it is essential to check the settings before
the first flight, and make any adjustments required.
Since it is not possible to convert data from the ROYALevo 7, if
your transmitter is of this type, you only need to note the points
in Section 2.1.
!
The following settings must be checked carefully before
you fly the model for the first time!

2.1 Transmitter settings (Menu: Setup / Transmitter)
Set the value for capacity so that it matches the battery installed
in your transmitter.
Set the self-discharge rate to normal for MULTIPLEX
PERMABATT batteries, and to low for PERMABATT+ packs.
1)
2.2 Fixed-wing models (check mixer functions)
The free mixers now have additional options. After the data set
has been converted, you may find that the 'sense' (direction of
operation) of the aileron input and / or the rudder (AIL+, FLAP+,
V-TAIL+) is reversed. Before you fly the model it is therefore
absolutely essential to check this, and correct any discrepancy
by reversing both mixer input travels in the sub-menu for the
appropriate mixer (AIL+, FLAP+, V-TAIL+).
If your model features ailerons and flaps, it is also important to
check the differential function.

2.3 Helicopters
2.3.1 Collective pitch curve
The collective pitch curve has been converted from six points to
five. This means that it is essential to check the collective pitch
curves for all flight phases, and adjust them as necessary. It is
likely that you will need to correct the curve points 2, 3 and 4.
2.3.2 Throttle compensation (Comp. mixer)
This mixer is now separately variable for each flight phase, and
features a selectable mixer destination (target). Yaw (tail rotor)
can be mixed in asymmetrically, and two values are available for
both directions. Please check that all the values have been
transferred correctly in all flight phases.
2.3.4 Gyro gain
The ROYALpro does not feature a second parameter set for
gyro gain. Only one gyro gain setting is now available for each
flight phase. Please check this setting in all flight phases.
2.4 Twelve-channel operation in PPM and M-PCM modes
In PPM mode the MULTIPLEX twelve-channel format is now
only activated when the 11
Servo Assignment). When you do this, "MPX" is automatically
activated as servo format for all servos. If you use a twelve-
channel PPM receiver (e.g. RX 12 DS, RX 12 DS IPD or RX-12-
SYNTH DS IPD), please check that an 11
assigned (Menu: Servo / Assignment).
If not:
Assign any control function, otherwise the system will not switch
over to the compressed format (PPM12) required for MPX
twelve-channel receivers.
If you convert a twelve-channel model from a PPM receiver to a
twelve-channel M-PCM receiver, you may find a discrepancy in
the servo centre positions of about 10°. The reason is that
PPM12 exploits the MPX servo format, whereas M-PCM
generally works with the standardised UNI format. These
differences must be corrected mechanically (by re-positioning
the servo output arms).
2.5 Allocating parameters to the 3-D digi-adjuster
These allocations are erased by the Update process, and must
be set anew if required.
A detailed description of the new features can be found in
the ROYALpro Operating Instructions.
