GOALS of EXAMPLE

STEPS

INPUTS for EXAMPLE

Set up IDLE-DOWN.
P. 33.

IDLE-DOWN slows the engine's idle for
landings, sitting on the runway, and
maneuvers such as spins. The normal
(higher idle) setting (when IDLE-DOWN
is off) is for engine starting, taxi, and
most flight maneuvers, to minimize
chance of a flame-out.

From the BASIC menu, choose IDLE-DOWN.

Activate and adjust IDLE-DOWN.

Optional: change switch command from
C center-and-down to any other switch.
Close the Function.

to OFF.

C to center position. Screen now

to RATE.

to increase rate until engine idles

reliably but low enough to sit still.
(Not needed in this example.)

THR-CUT shuts the engine off completely
with the flip of a switch. P. 33.

(NOTE: DO NOT assign IDLE-DOWN
and THR-CUT to both positions of a 2-
position switch. See
IDLE-DOWN for
details.
)

Set up dual/triple rates and
exponential (D/R,EXP).
P. 35.

(Note that in the middle of the left
side of the screen is the name of the
channel AND the switch position you
are adjusting. Two or even THREE
rates may be set per channel by
simply choosing the desired switch
and programming percentages with
the switch in each of its 2 or 3
positions.
