TRAINER
Trainer system starting and setting
T18SZ trainer system makes it possible for the
instructor to chose which channels and operation
modes that can be used in the students transmitter.
The function and rate of each channel can be
set, the training method can also be matched to
the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be
connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the
Instructors’ transmitter should be programmed for
trainer operation, as described below.
When the Instructor activates the trainer switch,
the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/
FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor
can make corrections while the student has control).
When the switch is released the Instructor regains
control. This is very useful if the student gets the
aircraft into an undesirable situation.
● Setting data are stored to model data.
● Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/
NORM mode.
● Activated student channels can be selected
by switches.
NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the
following manner;
1. With the T18SZ transmitter and a conventional
transmitter, if the channel order is different,
it is necessary to match the channel order
before using this function.
You can select the channel of input data
from student's transmitter in the "FUNC" or
"MIX" mode.
2. When the T18SZ is used as the instructor’s
transmitter, set the modulation mode of the
student’s transmitter to PPM.
If being used as the student, T18SZ can be
connected to the instructor's transmitter which
the PPM mode as the student's modulation
mode is required. T18SZ always sends PPM
mode signal from the trainer jack.
(In the case of student's transmitters other than
2.4 GHz)
3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in
both transmitters before ying.
