Flash 8 2.4GHz, přijímač OPTIMA 7, Tx aku (Mód 1/3)

Flash 8 is the second member of the new series of computer RC Hitec for recreational pilots. During its construction, the main consideration was put on the practical implementation of the cabinet, ergonomics layout of controls, ease of programming with an intuitive menu and the ability to "serve" the majority of recreational and sports models powered airplanes, gliders and helicopters. Compared transmitter Flash 7 also has a single channel, half as much memory capacity for models larger number of switches, 2 assignable digital trims, smarter programmable functions with a large number of adjustable parameters, multiple flight modes, a larger number of types of CCPM plates for helicopters and many, many more!

Cabinet: Flash 8 has at first glance simple, soberly elegant cabinet that the user does not raise that in an unguarded moment turns into a homicidal robot or clone Imperial. Minimum corners and hidden nooks also means that we have a new transmitter will be easier to keep clean.

Controls: To control the main functions include a precise cross driver with adjustable force and neutralizing force option to move the locked axis gas left or right. This allows you to freely choose the operating modes of the stick 1 to 4 Drivers levers are adjustable in length, you can also purchase long aluminum head (same as Transmitter Aurora 9 / 9X). Digital trims have a sound signal jog, middle and end positions, and graphical display positions on the display. They are located slightly off-center and are easily accessible. Other proportional functions can be operated by two knobs on the sides of the transmitter with the mechanical center detent and two multifunctional digital trims on either side of the main power switch. 8 switches (five three-position and two-one torque) and one button could serve as a channel switch for switching flight modes or switching on / off mixes. All controls are freely assignable.

Transmitter power supply: Flash 8 comes with dvoučlánkovým LiFe battery, but allows for the power to use a wide variety of sources: NiMH battery pack for 4-6 NiMH batteries (size AA, AA) or two-car sets LiPo, LiFe, Li-ion. The battery voltage is displayed on the screen in numerical and graphical form. LiFe battery can be charged without removing it from the transmitter via the charging connector and built-in charger CA-S12 comes with the RC system.

Transmission system: Transmitter Flash 8 is an eight-channel transmitter operating in the 2.4 GHz band; control models, you can use one of three transfer protocols:

• super fast unidirectional AFHSS G2 protocol receivers Maxima Maxima 6 and 9 allows to achieve very short response system ( "latency"), which together with the control signal with a higher repetition rate ( "frame rate") 7 ms guarantees a truly lightning fast steering response. This of course requires the use of digital servos with corresponding characteristics (Maxima receiver only works with digital servos, analog are not able to signal with a repetition rate of 7 ms work).
• bi-directional telemetry AFHSS protocol works with receivers Minima and telemetry receiver Optima and works with analog (with regular repetition rate of 20 ms) and digital servos. When using telemetry receivers and transmitter of course, Optima offers displaying telemetry data on display from all types of telemetry data loggers and sensors Hitec, as well as the possibility to connect voice output telemetry HTS-Voice.
• SLT protocol is compatible with many RTF and Tx-Ready models. It Hobbico, Nine Eagles others.

User interface: For programming transmitters are rotatable 3D programming wheel / button, and one button, along with a backlit graphic LCD display. 3D programming wheel is used to navigate the menu and setting values; his grip opens the field for the selected parameter setting or confirms the setting. Additional press "Back" button to return to the previous menu level or parameter.

Software: Software is based on the proven system with transmitters Aurora 9 and 9X. It shares the same basic structure and most of the menu functions. Like Aurora offers three basic menu - Operating, System and Software.

Operating menu is used for operating the transmitter in normal operation - displays the type and name of the model chosen, the current flight mode, used receiver type, position digital trims, voltage transmitter, the indication timer 1 and 2, the temperature measured by the transmitter and the use of telemetry receivers also receiver voltage.

The system menu is used for setting the basic functions such as choice of memory models (30 models, also used for creating a new model, copying the model into memory and erasing the memory model), select the type of model, assigning channels transmitters, setting the trim step, the setting of the teacher -žák, display and setting telemetry, choice of transmission protocol type receiver pairing and control range, cross-mode drivers, adjustment of transmitter (way of power, contrast and backlight, audible alarm, warning messages when switched on).

The program menus are three - according to the selected model type: the motor (aerobatic) models is the ACRO menu for GLID gliders and helicopters HELI. The program menus have a number of common features:

• turning sense of deflections,
• subtrims,
• adjust the size of deflections EPA,
• Dual and Exponential (independently adjustable for both directions of motion from the servo exponential průběh with adjustable offset)
• servo speed setting (0-25 s)
• Five freely programmable mixes (with independently adjustable response for each half deflection control functions, exponencializací and offset)
• two clocks function (count up or down, from scratch, or selected start time, you can run it any switch or adjustable position of the throttle)
• servo monitor displaying the displacements in each channel as bar graphs,
• lockout control gas (hang gas neutral for safe handling model before launch). < / Li>

And of course a whole range of functions for a specific type of model:

ACRO menu for powered aircraft models:

• five flight modes with adjustable time of transition between modes 0 to 10 seconds,
• aileron differential,
• mix elevons for flying wings and deltas,
• mix for the V-tail,

• mix for remote control gyro gain. < / Li>

HELI menus for helicopters:

• five flight modes: 1. Normal 2. Idle-1, 3. Idle-2, 4. Idle-3 5. Hold (Autorotations) with adjustable time of transition between modes 0 to 10 seconds,
• mix for remote control gyro gain
• mix swashplate (90 ° for models with mechanical mixing or Flybarless systems 120 (3 servos), 140 (3 servos), 180 (2 servos), 90 ° (3 servos), 90 (4 servos) for electronic mixing swashplate CCPM)
• limit deflection of the cyclic control ( "Swash Ring")
• Curve gas - 5-point adjustable curve in XY mode, with exponencializace (extermination) course, adjustable offset and trimming gas during hover using the digital trim LT / RT,
• Curve team - 5-point adjustable curve in XY mode, with exponencializace (extermination) course, adjustable offset and trimming the team during hover using the digital trim LT / RT,
• autorotation,

• stalling.

To simplify the programming of the new model program transmitter after you select the type of model, query on its basic characteristics - for types ACRO and Glide the number of servo controlling the ailerons and flaps and empennage arrangements for type HELI type swashplate. Subsequently, the transmitter itself controlled functions assigned to each channel transmitters and assigns the relevant controls (this assignment can be changed at any time). For clarity's programming menu "dynamic" - if, for example. Choose the model has a normal tail, you will not see programming menu offering a mix of the V-tail.

Software and firmware RF transmitter component can be updated via USB interface HPP-22, just as is the case with transmitters Aurora 9 / 9X. < / P>

Data socket on the back of the transmitter also allows connection to a PC via a USB interface HPP-22 for displaying telemetry and storing telemetric data to computer memory.

On the back of the tent transmitters are also socket 5 V supply for additional external devices, such as. "Head trackers" for FPV.

Socket Trainer (teacher-pupil) is used to control model system of dual control two transmitters Hitec interconnected cable teacher-pupil; Flash 8 can serve as a transmitter teacher and pupil. The role of the teacher transmitter allows the student to pass all or only selected channels; the pupil is also possible to transfer partial control with limited deflections, while the teacher has full control surface deflections.

PC Stats: Flash 8 can of course serve along with the appropriate USB interface for PC control simulators, such as Icarus Aerofly RC7. You can use the USB interface adapter Ikarus IK3031010 complete IK31036.
