Flight Modes - Powerbox Systems Powerbox Core Bedienungsanleitung

8. FLIGHT MODES

Flight modes, also known as flight phases, are one of the CORE's most powerful features, but they are still easy to
use! You can imagine a flight mode as a copy of a particular model memory, but one with slightly altered settings.
A switch can be used to select different modes when the model is flying. In the simplest case this might simply
be a different landing flap position and the appropriate elevator trim for that position.
The practical advantage of this feature is that you can adjust the trim when the landing flaps are lowered, without
altering the trim in the normal "flight mode".
When you select the Flight Mode menu you will see a graphic representation of the Flight Mode tree structure.
The most important thing to know at this point is that the CORE prioritises the flight modes. Priority runs from
left to right, i.e. the flight modes in the left-hand tree diagram have the highest priority, and those on the right the
lowest priority. Even when the flight mode structure is complex, this means that you can, for example, overrule all
other switch positions with a single switch, returning you very quickly to "normal" flight mode.
Before you set up flight modes it is worthwhile consi-
dering which flight modes are important, and which
are of secondary importance.
To create a flight mode, press briefly on one of the bo-
xes labelled "Standard", and you will see the following
screen display:
You can immediately assign an informative name to the new flight mode by briefly pressing the left-hand field.
Bear in mind that you should not use abbreviations here if you intend the flight mode names to be used for spe-
ech output later, as the TTS systems reads the text exactly as you have entered it!
In the field below Fade-in you can set how fast the settings for the new flight mode are to affect the servos. For
example, if you lower the landing flaps by selecting the appropriate flight mode, it makes sense to set a delay at
this point.
