where to find Profi 4000 tutorial
Hi there
I just got a MC4000, and I find the manual pritty poor. Are there any tutorial, or "how to get started without reading this manual"?
My task is to prgramme a jet, with canard
2 deltawing servoes, working as airlerons and elevator
2 canard seroves, working as elevator and airlerons
2 ruder servoes (for 2 fins)
1 nose wheel
1 retracts
1 turbine
1 smoke
And the manual just gives me some general programme advise, and almost no examples. Ones I read a simple tutorial for a MC3010, teaching step by step to make eq. a delta-mix, so I thought some body made something readable for the MC4000 too.. Or?

RE: where to find Profi 4000 tutorial
You can find some help here www.rc-soar.com/multiplex/4000/4000.htm Press the link to "programming flowchart" for a view of the overall process without the details. Press the link "migrating" for my tip on how to make it easier to create new models.
For the jet with canard choose a universal base type, as this gives you unrestricted mixing.
Make sure you alter the servo type from MPX to uni, you must do that unless you are using Multiplex servos with multiplex's own special plugs.
Assign your controls, making the smoke switch AUX 1
Assign the wing and canard servos to servomix, and assign ELEVATOR TRIM and AILERON TRIM controls into their servomixes. (You need to assign "NAME TRIM" if you want the trim to work, if you assign just ELEVATOR then the trim is not included.)
Assign the two rudder servos direct to RUDDER TRIM.
Assign nose wheel servo direct to to RUDDER or RUDDER TRIM
Assign retracts direct to retracts.
Assign turbine servo to THROTTLE TRIM
Assign smoke servo to AUX1
Then go into menu 1, servos, travel/curve and set the travel values. If you have been using a JR transmitter on that model before now, set travel to 73% of the JR value, if you have been using Futaba transmitter on that model set travel to 83%.
That will get it working. There are better ways yet, but they start to add complication to the programming and you don't want that yet!
Do ask any questions, I will be glad to help,
