In addition to its comprehensive hardware facilities,the software of
the FX-18 includes features which go well beyond the standard for
this class of equipment.The programming is based on flight modes,
making it even easier to set up the mixer functions. The user-
friendly software provides many new functions and caters for all
types of model, while the 3-D hotkey makes navigation and setup
straightforward and fast.
For the sake of clarity some options feature sub-menus;this applies
in particular to the Parameter menu, in which all the basic
adjustments and settings are carried out. For this reason these
operating instructions deal with this section of the software first
(see Section 7.1).
The transmitter can directly store and manage data for up to 12
models, but if CAMPac modules are employed there is really no
limit; a single module can store the data for up to 49 models.The
software is present in three languages as standard,so you can carry
out the essential dialogue with the system in German, English or
French. The overall structure of the software is based on the
rotation principle, i.e. the individual menus are arranged in a
continuous loop,one after the other,and can be selected easily and
conveniently using the 3-D hotkey.
2.2 R147F receiver
This ultra-compact, lightweight FM receiver with PPM modulation
is manufactured using the latest SMT micro-technology,and yet
offers full effective range. Its slim case design, with the servo
sockets in the practical position on the end of the case,makes it an
excellent choice for use in mini- and small models generally, and
even in park-fly models and HLG gliders.
The active front end of this receiver provides outstanding narrow-
band characteristics, high adjacent channel separation and very
good interference suppression. A regulatory stage including
automatic gain control (AGC) ensures optimum reception at close
range and long range alike.
2.3 S 3001 servo
This ballraced servo is of standard case size.It is a high-quality,high-
performance unit suitable for use in all areas of modelling,
The special high-quality potentiometer features a 6-finger wiper,
and is housed in a sealed enclosure. The pot is operated by an
‘Indirect Drive’linkage which provides effective protection from
vibration.The ballrace and a special bronze bearing ensure that the
servo has minimum slop and a long effective life.
