8 Tips: The Difference to Model Flying
The Zwo4 radio offers maximum compati-
bility and works with all systems based on
standards
of
Robbe/Futaba
und
Graupner/JR. See chapter Multiswitch
Assign names
You can not only assign a name to each
servo channel, you can also give each
control a different name that is shown in the
menus. You can even choose a name sepa-
rately for left and right for each control
because one control often has two functions
e.g. horn and starter.
Trim
The trim - the adjustment of the center posi-
tion for joystick channels - is less often used
for driving model vehicles than for flying.
Therefore with the HS12 the softkeys are
also used to adjust the trim settings, see
[Menu] > [Trim]. Alternatively you can use a
softkey pair or the second level of a joystick.
See chapter Mixer Functions - Quick Trim
Sliders and rotary knobs
You won’t find any on your HS12 because
they can make it difficult to switch between
different models. The second level of
joystick controls is much more practical for
drive sets.
For setting values like the idle speed of a
pump you can use a softkey pair. The set
values stay the same even if you switch to a
different model.
Mixer
Radios for model flying use a variety of
preset mixer functions (not useful for vehi-
cles). The Zwo4 radio offers a universal and
clear concept.
Each control can operate up to three
servo channels - one servo channel can be
controlled by any number of controls.
All necessary settings are available for the
controls so there is no need for a special
mixer menu. See examples in chapter Mixer
Functions
Dual Rate
(Travel adjustments)
If you want the control travel to be switch-
able you can use the level switches. This
way you can make extensive adjustments
because all settings and mixer functions can
be switched. See chapter Mixer Functions -
Dual Rate
The Zwo4 radio is designed for driving
model vehicles and is different than
radio systems you may know for flying.
To make the change easy for you here
are the main differences:
Easy control
The more controls, channels and functions
there are the harder it gets to navigate
through the menus with a rotary knob or mini
joystick. The Servonaut HS12 makes it
easy: Use the softkeys which are labeled in
the display. In addition the four colored
menu buttons above the display are short-
cuts for important functions.
Two levels of functions
All joysticks and softkeys can have two func-
tions, you switch between them with the
level switches above the joysticks (standard
version without 3D sticks).
Multiswitch
Using a multiswitch to have more channels
available is common, mostly to control light
sets or if many servos need to be controlled.
