2. Introduction
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase the
MULTIPLEX ROYALevo 7 radio control system.
The new ROYALevo series of radio control systems was
first presented early in 2002 with the two transmitters
ROYALevo9 and ROYALevo12: a modern, digital radio
control system representing a further milestone in the
development of MULTIPLEX RC systems. Our experience
from many generations of radio control systems influ-
enced the systems’ overall design, development and
production, and the result was an all-purpose RC system
of modern design which was simple to operate, ergo-
nomically efficient, and capable of being used both
hand-held and in a transmitter tray. In the development
of the software we placed top priority on a convenient,
comprehensible menu system.
The ROYALevo7 rounds off the series, and provides a
low-cost means of getting started in the ROYALevo
range of RC systems. The new system is even simpler to
operate than the ROYALevo9 and ROYALevo12. In se-
lecting the functions and facilities to include we kept
firmly to the principle of “concentrating on the essen-
tials”, with the result that the system is even easier to
understand than its forebears, whilst the scope for pro-
gramming mistakes is reduced.
The system’s field of use ranges from simple two-axis
model aircraft to sophisticated gliders with four-flap
wings and powered aerobatic models. The software also
includes a sophisticated helicopter program that can
cope with all current rotor systems, and therefore caters
for even the advanced and experienced helicopter pilot.
The essential features of the ROYALevo are as follows:
x Modern, ergonomically optimised case design with pre-
cision-made, individually adjustable, swivelling stick
units, suitable for hand-held or tray use.
x clearly laid-out, intuitively structured menus for simple
programming
x plain text menus and screen displays, in various national
languages
x simple, fast programming methods using the keypad or
two 3D digi-adjustors
x graphical folding screen (132 x 64 pixels) with variable
contrast
x optionally: low-cost standard crystal RF module includ-
ing Channel-Check*
or
modern synthesizer RF module
with convenient menu-based channel selection and
Channel-Check/Scanner as a retro-fit option*
x flight phase specific digital trim system with new form of
easy-access cruciform trim button arrangement. Clear,
graphic on-screen trim setting display, with audible sup-
port. Variable trim increment size
x Count-down- or count-up timer with variable alarm time
and audible alarm function
x Transmitter operating hours counter
x 7 channels
x 15 model memories
with freely selectable model name (max. 16 characters),
copy and erase functions
x audible battery monitor with variable warning threshold
(battery voltage) and new form of supplementary bat-
tery management (transmitter battery monitor)
x modern FLASH processor technology. Simple update
method to cope with software revisions
x comprehensive adjustment and mixer facilities for fixed-
wing models and helicopters
x eight model templates for many different model types,
designed to minimise the user’s programming effort
x Flight phase switching
with up to three flight phases for fixed-wing models and
four for helicopters
x selective Trainer (teacher-pupil) mode possible without
additional fittings
x MULTIPLEX multi-function socket as standard: charge
socket, Trainer mode interface, PC interface (PC update,
data back-up, flight simulator operation)
We are confident that you will very quickly learn to ap-
preciate the qualities of your ROYALevo7 after a short
familiarisation period, during which these operating in-
structions will help you on your way. We are sure it will
give you many hours of pleasure in our mutual and fas-
cinating hobby of model sport
Yours - the MULTIPLEX team

3. Safety notes
! These operating instructions are an integral
part of the product. They contain important in-
formation and safety notes, and should be kept
in a safe place at all times. If you ever dispose of
the system, be sure to pass them on to the new
owner.
! Read the safety notes!
Read the instructions carefully!
Do not attempt to use the equipment until you
have read right through these operating in-
structions and the following safety notes (in-
cluded in the instructions and on separate
sheets).
! It is not permissible to carry out modifications
of any kind to the radio control system compo-
nents. Be sure to use genuine accessories and
replacement parts exclusively (especially
transmitter battery, crystals, aerials etc.).
! If you wish to use the system in conjunction
with non-MULTIPLEX products, check carefully
that they are of good quality and work cor-
rectly. Every new or modified combination
must be tested carefully before use - including a
range check. Don’t use the system if you sus-
pect there is a problem; seek out and cure the
fault first!
! Warning!
Radio-controlled models are not playthings in
the normal sense of the term. Construction, in-
stalling the RC system and operation call for
technical knowledge, a careful approach and a
responsible, safety-conscious attitude. Defects
and neglect can result in serious damage and
injury. As manufacturers we have no influence
over the purchaser’s methods of building and
operating his model, and as a result all we can
do is draw your attention to these hazards and
deny all liability.
! Any model that is out of control - for whatever
reason - is capable of causing serious personal
injury and damage to property. It is therefore
fundamentally essential to take out suitable
third-party insurance to cover your modelling
activities.
! Always keep to the proper sequence when
switching the system on and off, or there is a
danger that the motor will burst into life unex-
pectedly:
1. when switching on:
first transmitter ON,
then receiver ON
connect flight battery or motor ON
2. when switching off:
first disconnect flight battery or motor OFF
receiver OFF
transmitter OFF
! Have your RC equipment - especially the trans-
mitter and receiver - checked by an authorised
MULTIPLEX Service Centre at regular intervals
(every two or years.
! Do not operate the transmitter in temperatures
outside the permitted limits (Î 7.). Bear in
mind that rapid temperature fluctuations (e.g.
warm car to cold flying site) can cause conden-
sation to form in the transmitter. Damp has an
adverse effect on the function of the transmit-
ter and any other electronic device.
If damp should get into any electronic unit,
cease operations immediately and disconnect
the power supply. Open the case if possible and
allow it to dry out completely (this may take
several days). Follow up with a thorough test of
all functions. If a problem persists, ask an
authorised MULTIPLEX Service Centre to check
the unit for you.
! The radio control system may only be operated
legally on particular channels (frequencies),
which vary from country to country. In some
cases official formalities have to be completed
before you can use the system. Please read the
enclosed notes!
3.1. General Safety Notes
Build your model carefully
x Install and set up the mechanical linkages so that the
control surfaces are free-moving, and do not jam at
either end-point. Do not limit servo travels at the
transmitter; it is always better to adjust the pushrod,
horn etc. to obtain the correct travel. Take care to
keep slop (lost motion) to an absolute minimum.
By keeping to the above points you minimise the
strain on the servos, exploit their power to the full,
obtain their maximum useful life and the widest pos-
sible margin of safety.
x Provide effective protection to the receiver, battery,
servos and other RC and electronic components from
vibration (danger of electronic component failure).
Heed the information in the operating instructions
supplied with each unit. Naturally the avoidance of
vibration is very important: balance all propellers and
rotors carefully before use, replace them when dam-
aged, install internal-combustion motors on vibra-
tion-absorbing mounts, and replace any rotating item
which does not run absolutely true.
x Be careful not to kink cables or place them under
strain; protect them from rotating parts.
x Avoid unnecessarily long or superfluous servo exten-
sion leads. Leads longer than about 30 - 50 cm must
be fitted with separation filters (ferrite rings). Long
leads must have conductors of adequate cross-
section (to minimise voltage loss). A good starting
point is 0.3 mm

x Do not coil, shorten or extend the receiver aerial.
Never deploy the aerial parallel to any electrically
conducting part, e.g. metal pushrod, or inside a fuse-
lage with a shielding effect (made of or reinforced
with carbon fibre or metallic paint). Do not attach the
aerial to any electrically conductive model compo-
nent. We recommend the use of whip aerials in large-
scale model aircraft.
x Take care to provide a receiver power supply of ade-
quate capacity. For servos up to about 40 Ncm you
can use the following formula for estimating the re-
quired battery capacity:
mAhservosofNomAhCapacity 200.][ ut
I t i s a l w a y s b e t t e r t o s e l e c t t h e n e x t l a r g e r s i z e o f b a t -
tery, unless weight or space considerations prevent it.
x Make sure that moving parts made of conductive ma-
terials (e.g. metal linkage components or pushrods)
cannot contact each other, as they may generate
electrical “noise” which interferes with the receiver.
x Interference from static charges and powerful electri-
cal or electro-magnetic fields must be avoided by
suitable suppression measures (e.g. fit suppressor ca-
pacitors to electric motors, suppress petrol engines
with shielded sparkplug connectors, ignition leads
and ignition units), and keep these parts well away
from the RC system, receiver aerial, wiring and batter-
ies.
x Maintain an adequate distance between high-current
cables (e.g. electric power system) and the RC system.
In particular, keep the cables between brushless elec-
tric motors and their controllers as short as possible
(max. 10 - 15 cm).
x Always program a new model at home, in peace, and
check each working system very carefully. Make sure
you are familiar with the programming methods and
operation of the transmitter before you take the
model out to the field and fly it.
Check the model at regular intervals
x Freedom of movement and lack of slop in control sur-
faces and mechanical linkages
x Rigidity and good condition of pushrods, linkage
components, hinges etc.
x Visual check for fractures, cracks, signs of stress etc.
on the model itself and its components, such as the
receiving system and power system
x Perfect condition and contact security of cables and
electrical connections
x State of the power supply and it’s wiring, including
switch harness, and external check of the condition of
battery cells. Regular maintenance of batteries and
voltage / capacity checks, using a charger and charg-
ing method designed for the battery type in use.
Pre-flight checks:
x Check the transmitter, receiver and drive / flight bat-
teries carefully, and check their state of charge be-
tween flights. This requires the use of a charger and
charging method which suits the batteries in your
model, and regular battery maintenance (cell balanc-
ing), plus checking the voltage curve and capacity.
x At the flying site always check first with the other
modellers that your frequency is free; register with
the site administrator if present and check the
method of frequency control in use. Do not switch ON
until you have done this. If you neglect this, you run
the risk of a frequency clash and crashed models!
x Carry out a range check with the transmitter aerial
collapsed. (Î 3.2.)
x Ensure that you have selected the appropriate model
memory.
x Check that all primary and auxiliary functions are op-
erating correctly.
! If you find or suspect a fault, do not launch the
model. Locate the defect, eliminate it, and then
repeat the full check.
When operating the model:
x If you are a beginner to RC models, you really must
recruit the help of an experienced model pilot. A
Trainer system is excellent for initial practice.
x Models may only be flown at suitable approved sites.
x Never fly your model above or towards spectators.
x Do not carry out high-risk flight manoeuvres.
x Don’t over-estimate your own piloting skill or ability.
x If you detect any sign of a problem or interference,
land the model or cease operations immediately.
x Be aware of static charge problems!
In extremely cold air (mountainous terrain, high slope
bowls, proximity to storm fronts) static charges build
up in the transmitter and/or pilot. When a discharge
(spark) takes place the pilot may be injured, and the
transmitter might be damaged or suffer interference.
Counter-measures:
Cease operations as quickly as possible. Walk down-
hill a little way; this is often enough to reach a less ex-
posed location.
x Keep at least 2 m away from mobile telephones!
When using your RC equipment keep at least 2 m
away from any mobile telephone, as the high trans-
mitted power of the mobile may cause radio interfer-
ence to the transmitter or RF module.
In general terms we recommend that you switch off
mobile telephones and any other piece of equipment
which could cause the pilot to lose concentration
when flying.

Static discharge protection of electronic sub-
assemblies
The sub-assemblies of a radio control sys-
tem transmitter (main circuit board, RF
module, Channel-Check, scanner) are fitted
with components which are electro-
statically sensitive. They can be destroyed,
or their useful life shortened, if an electro-static dis-
charge takes place when the sub-assembly is touched.
Be sure to take the following protective measures when
handling electro-statically sensitive sub-assemblies:
x “Earth” yourself before touching or working on such
assemblies by making electrical contact with your en-
vironment (e.g. touch an earthed radiator).
Open the base unit (if necessary) and touch a large
area of it, to create potential balance relative to the
base unit.
x Do not take the sub-assembly out of its conductive,
statically shielded bag until you have earthed your-
self. Avoid touching the electronic components or
soldered joints directly. Hold the sub-assembly only
by the edges of the circuit board.
x If you have to store a sub-assembly outside the base
unit, keep it in the protective conductive bag in which
the module was supplied. Never allow the module to
contact a conventional (non-protective) foam, styro-
foam or other plastic material directly.
3.2. Range checking
Range checking is a method of testing the RC system
which gives extremely reliable information about the
operating condition of your radio control system.
We have concocted a range-check recipe which will al-
ways leave you on the safe side. It is based on our own
experience and measurements.
1. Move the aerial to an upright,
angled position and collapse
the segments completely
(push them together) (Î
9.5.2.).
2. Set up the model with the tip
of the receiver aerial about
1m above the ground.
3. Ensure that there are no large
metallic objects (e.g. cars,
wire fences etc.) in the vicin-
ity of the model.
4. Do not carry out the check if
there is any other transmitter
switched on - even on a dif-
ferent channel.
5. The range check will not
work properly in mountainous regions.
6. Switch on the transmitter and receiver. At a range
of about 80m between transmitter and receiver
check that the control surfaces respond accurately
to the stick movements, and do not carry out any
uncontrolled movements. Close to the range limit
the servo output arms may move from their nomi-
nal position by up to the width of the arm (servo jit-
ter).
7. Secure the model and repeat the check with the
motor running (varying the throttle setting from
idle to full-speed).
The stated range of 80m is only a general guideline. Ac-
tual range varies widely according to environmental
conditions. For example, in mountainous terrain or in
the vicinity of powerful radio transmitters, radar stations
or similar installations, effective range may only be half
that stated.
If radio range is restricted, what can you do to locate
the cause of the problem?
1. Change the position of the receiver aerial.
Metal or carbon fibre reinforced parts close by will
adversely affect reception conditions.
The effect of electric power systems and ignition
systems also alters if you change the position of the
aerial.
2. Disconnect the servos from the receiver one by one,
repeating the range check each time.
Over-long cables without suppressor filters have an
adverse effect on reception conditions. Servos also
deteriorate with age, and generate greater interfer-
ence than when new (brush sparking, motor sup-
pressor capacitors vibrated loose, general wear etc).
If you cannot effect an improvement by simple
means, try removing the complete system and op-
erating it outside the model. This allows you to
check whether the fault is in the system, or in the
installation in the model.
4. Liability / compensation
As manufacturers, we at MULTIPLEX Modellsport GmbH
& Co. KG are not in a position to ensure that you ob-
serve the operating instructions, the conditions and

8. The transmitter battery
! The transmitter battery is responsible for supplying
power to the transmitter, and plays an important
role in operational safety. For this reason please
ensure that you observe the following notes
regarding charging and maintenance of the
battery.
! The transmitter battery is fitted with a self-
resetting fuse which protects the battery itself as
well as the transmitter electronics from short-
circuit, reversed polarity and excessive currents.
Note that the transmitter circuitry features no ad-
ditional fuse! For this reason the transmitter must
always be used with a genuine MULTIPLEX trans-
mitter battery with fuse.
The ROYALevo is powered by a high-quality battery
pack consisting of six AA-size NiMH (Nickel-Metal-
Hydride) cells. Compared to NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium)
cells NiMH batteries offer significantly higher energy
density (capacity : weight) and therefore provide longer
operating times for a given weight, but they do require
more careful handling - especially in respect of charg-
ing.
Note:
Like all other technical components, batteries are sub-
ject to constant development. We therefore reserve the
right to replace the standard transmitter pack (NiMH,
1500 mAh) with one which reflects new standards (e.g.
higher capacity).
8.1. Safety notes !
x Batteries are not playthings, and must be stored well
out of the reach of children.
x Check that the battery is in good condition before
every session. Do not continue to use a pack which is
damaged or obviously defective.
x Do not overheat, burn, open or short-circuit the bat-
tery; never charge or discharge it at excessive cur-
rents, overcharge or deep-discharge it, or charge it
with reversed polarity.
x If you charge the battery outside the transmitter,
place it on a heat-resistant, non-flammable, non-
conductive surface, and do not leave it on charge un-
supervised.
x Do not make modifications of any kind to the battery.
Never solder or weld directly to the cells.
x If treated incorrectly there is a risk of fire, explosion
and corrosive burns. Suitable extinguishing agents:
water, CO
2
, sand.
x Escaped electrolyte is corrosive!
Do not allow it to contact your skin or eyes.
In an emergency wash the material off using plenty of
water, and seek medical attention without delay.
8.2. Charging the transmitter battery
(slow charging)
The battery can be left in the transmitter for charging.
Basically we recommend that you recharge the battery
at the “normal” rate (1/10 C rate) overnight (e.g. plug-
type 230V / 50Hz charger, # 14 5537, charge current:
150 mA). This method of charging avoids damage to the
transmitter electronics and battery, and presents fewer
problems than other methods.
! Note:
Never connect the transmitter to a charger without a
battery installed!
High output voltages may be present in battery charg-
ers when no battery is connected. These voltages can
damage the transmitter.
How to charge the battery correctly:
1. Switch off the transmitter.
2. Connect the charge lead to the battery charger.
Note the correct polarity (!):
red plug = positive terminal (+)
blue / black plug = negative terminal (-)
Incorrect polarity will ruin the battery!
(overheating, escape of corrosive electrolyte, burst
cells)
3. Connect the charge lead to the transmitter.
Here again: check polarity carefully. Genuine MUL-
TIPLEX transmitter charge leads are polarised
(unless you force them in the wrong way round!)
Charge process commences
4. If you use the normal or 1/10 C charge process you
must terminate the charge manually.
For a discharged battery the charge period can be
calculated using the following formula:
][ current harge
4,1*][apacity
][ time harge
mAC
mAhC
hC
Example: battery capacity 1500 mAh
”Normal charging” means that the battery is
charged at a current of 0.1 C (min. 0.05 / max. 0.2 C
= 75 mA to 300 mA).
With a charge current of 150 mA (i.e. 0.1 C) the
charge period is: (1500 mAh * 1.4) / 150 mA = 14 h.
The charge process should be terminated after this
time, if not before.
If the battery was not fully discharged beforehand,
the charge period is correspondingly shorter.
! If the battery becomes too hot to touch whilst on
charge, interrupt the charge process immediately.
5. At the end of the charge, first disconnect the
transmitter or battery from the charger, and then
disconnect the charger from the power source
(mains socket).
After the charge the battery management system may
inform you that you need to correct the battery’s state
of charge (Î 13.1.3.).

8.3. Charging the transmitter battery
(fast charging)
Fast charging is an alternative method of battery charg-
ing which is commonly employed in modelling today,
and is popular due to the reduced charge times. Fast
charging means that the battery is charged at a current
in the range 0.5 to 1 C. For a 1500 mAh battery this
means charge rates between 750 mA and 1.5 A. This
method of charging can present problems due to the
high currents, especially when charging a battery in a
radio control system transmitter, as the electronics are
liable to damage. That is why we generally recommend
the normal or 1/10 C method (Î 8.2.).
For fast charging please observe the following safety
notes:
! Fast charging should only be carried out using a
charger with a suitable automatic termination circuit.
! Time-controlled fast charging is not permissible!
! Important when fast-charging NiMH batteries:
The charger must be designed for NiMH batteries!
(Delta Peak cut-off sensitivity < 5mV / cell)
! Maximum charge current: 1.5 A!
Fast chargers must be set to manual current selection.
Don’t use an automatic program! The power circuits in
the transmitter and battery are not designed for high
currents.
If a fast charger terminates the charge process prema-
turely, reduce the charge current and start again.
Notes:
Reflex chargers operate with pulses of very high current
which may damage the transmitter’s electronics. If you
wish to use the reflex process, remove the battery from
the transmitter for charging.
Note that fast-charging reduces the life of the battery.
8.3.1. 12V fast chargers for up to eight cells
If you wish to use a fast charger capable of charging
only 8-cell packs (e.g. 4 - 8 cells), the battery can be left
in the transmitter. Connect the charger via the multi-
function socket on the transmitter. Use the transmitter
charge lead with banana plugs, # 8 6020.
8.3.2. 12V fast chargers for more than eight cells
In this case the transmitter battery must not be
charged via the charge socket. Disconnect the pack
from the transmitter’s electronics and connect it to the
charger using the direct transmitter charge lead # 8
6021.
The battery management function of the ROYALevo (Î
8.5.) can only work properly if the electronics are
permanently connected to the battery (even when the
transmitter is switched off), and is able to measure the
currents which flow into the battery (charging) and out
of it (normal operation). Chargers designed for more
than eight cells usually incorporate voltage converters
which can generate high voltages. These excessive
voltages can damage the transmitter electronics.
FAQs
Full capacity and performance
NiMH batteries only reach their full potential after sev-
eral charge / discharge cycles (~ 5 cycles). The first
charges should be made at the normal charge rate of
0.1 C (150 mA). You can then fast-charge the pack safely.
What does “C” mean in relation to charge currents?
C is the charge current at which the battery is fed 100%
of its nominal capacity when charged for one hour. For
the ROYALevo ‘s 1500 mAh battery this means a current
of 1500 mA. If this current is used for charging, we term
this a 1 C charge. This current value is simply the nomi-
nal capacity in mAh (or Ah), but with the “h” (hours) re-
moved.
Trickle charging
This term means that the battery is charged at a current
in the range 0.03 C to 0.05 C (45 to 75 mA). Many auto-
matic chargers switch to this mode at the end of a
charge process. The trickle charge should be terminated
after no longer than 20 hours.
8.4. Maintaining and storing
the transmitter battery
The battery’s effective capacity may be reduced if it is
stored for a long period without maintenance, or in the
wrong conditions. For this reason:
x Always store NiMH batteries fully charged. This pre-
vents the pack becoming deep-discharged (deep dis-
charge = < 1.0 V / cell - always to be avoided).
x Charge unused NiMH packs every three months. This
compensates for the self-discharge rate, and again
avoids deep-discharging.
x Store NiMH packs at temperatures between 0°C and
30°C, in dry conditions, away from direct sunshine.
x “Balance” the battery if it has been stored for a long
period (several charge / discharge cycles at a low
charge / discharge current: approx. 1/10 C).
8.5. The ROYALevo ‘s battery manage-
ment
8.5.1. What we are used to:
Voltage display
Virtually all modern transmitters display the actual bat-
tery voltage as a numerical value and/or in graphic
form.
Battery alarm
If the battery voltage falls below a minimum value, the
transmitter emits an audible alarm. Many transmitters
offer a variable alarm threshold.
Naturally, the ROYALevo includes both these functions.
The alarm threshold can also be adjusted (Î13.1.2.).
ROYAL evo 7
Page 10
8.5.2. This is NEW
The ROYALevo7’s battery management feature con-
stantly monitors the state of charge of the transmitter
battery - even when the unit is switched off.
In detail the system works as follows:
a. when charging
If the transmitter battery is charged via the charge
socket at more than about 50 mA, the transmitter
electronics constantly measure the charge current
and calculate the charge quantity fed into the bat-
tery. This value is stored in the transmitter.
b. in use
The current is also constantly measured in use; the
transmitter calculates the consumed charge and
deducts it from the available charge. The status
display 3 (Î10.7.) then shows the available bat-
tery charge.
The transmitter also calculates and displays the re-
sidual operating time (but only when an RF sig-
nal is transmitted, otherwise the screen displays
“---“ for residual time). This value indicates how
long the transmitter can work at the present cur-
rent drain.
c. when the transmitter is switched off
The transmitter battery loses about 1.5% of its
charge every day through self-discharge, even
when stored unused in your workshop. The battery
management system takes self-discharge into ac-
count and corrects the displayed battery charge.
!
The battery charge and residual operating time are
only displayed for your information. Manufactur-
ing tolerances and variations in battery mainte-
nance can cause wide variations to occur.
8.5.3. You must take this into account
To ensure that the battery management displays values
which come as close as possible to “the true situation”,
you must observe the following points:
a. Correct the battery charge
The battery management circuit assumes that a
1500 mAh battery is installed in the transmitter. If
you fit a battery of larger capacity (for example),
you will need to enter the new capacity in the ap-
propriate menu
Menu: L , Transmitter Parameter: Battery
charge
Here you can enter the capacity value found by
your charger (in increments of 50 mAh).
!
If battery voltage falls below 6.5 V, the avail-
able charge is set to 0 mAh.
b. Charging the battery via the charge socket
The transmitter electronics can only monitor the
state of charge if charging takes place via the
charge socket. Read the charging notes (Î 8.2.).
c. Normal charging at constant current (1/10 C)
If the battery is left connected to the charger longer
than the time calculated with the formula in Sec-
tion 8.2, the battery manager still only shows a bat-
tery charge of 1500 mAh.
d. If you always charge up the battery in the transmit-
ter, and always to 100%, the displayed capacity will
remain accurate over many charge cycles. Even so,
you should check the display from time to time af-
ter charging, as inevitable tolerances may cause
deviations in the course of time.
e. If the screen shows less than 90% of the nominal
battery capacity immediately after charging, the
battery is exhausted, and should be replaced by a
new, genuine MULTIPLEX transmitter battery.
8.6. Recycling
NiMH cells do not contain environmentally harmful
cadmium, but they should still not be disposed of as or-
dinary household waste. Take the cells to your local re-
cycling centre. Be sure to discharge the cells before-
hand, and protect them from short-circuit (e.g. wrap
them in plastic film).

9. The transmitter
9.1. Front face of transmitter
You will find the following controls on the front face of
the transmitter:
c Two precision stick units, for controlling the four
primary axes. The ratchet for the throttle / spoiler stick
can be positioned right or left (Î 9.5.6.). Both stick units
can be swivelled to suit your personal preference (Î
9.5.8.). The swivelling stick tops are infinitely adjustable
in length.
d Two sliders “E” and “F” are fitted as standard and
can be assigned to any channel. They also operate as
switched functions with centre detent.
e Two digital cruciform trim units below the stick
units for trimming the primary control axes, each con-
sisting of one pair of buttons for left/right and up/down
(Î12.).
f Audible sounder (piezo beeper).
g The RF status display / LED (red light-emitting di-
ode) indicates whether an RF (Radio Frequency) signal is
being radiated when the transmitter is switched on:
LED glowing constantly o n o R F t r a n s m i s s i o n
LED flashing every 2 sec. o RF transmission occurring
The LED is controlled according to the current drain of
the RF module. For example, if the transmitter crystal is
absent or faulty, no RF signal can be generated, and the
constantly glowing LED warns you that no RF signal is
being transmitted.
h Keypad consisting of 11 buttons in 2 rows. The six
buttons in the first row provide fast, direct access to the
6 main menus (direct menu access buttons). The 5 but-
tons in the second row are used for programming.
Apart from the “ENTER” button all buttons have a sec-
ondary function for entering text. Text is input using the
method commonly adopted for mobile telephones.
i ON/OFF switch (“O” / “1”).
j The screen is a modern, UV-stable graphic LCD
panel (132 x 64 dots) with an anti-reflective surface.
Screen contrast is variable (Î 13.1.4.). The screen can
be tilted in two stages through a maximum of about 40°
in order to obtain the optimum viewing angle.
k Two 3D digi-adjustors are used for programming
and adjustment work. They are a standard feature, and
are permanently installed. For programming, both work
in parallel with the “ENTER” button or the “” (UP) /
“” ( DO W N ) bu t t o ns w h e n p r e s se d o r ro t at e d . It i s p os -
sible to assign many different settings / parameters to
the 3D digi-adjustors, so that you can easily and directly
carry out adjustments in flight (Î 11.2.2.).

9.2. Transmitter controls
All the controls of the ROYALevo7 (6 switches, 2 but-
tons, 2 sliders) are permanently installed, and have the
following permanently assigned basic functions accord-
ing to model type (Î 20.):
c Dual Rate (“D-R“ / 3-position switch “L“)
This switch can be used to reduce the travel - and there-
fore the response - of the primary controls, i.e. aileron,
elevator and rudder (heli: roll, pitch-axis, yaw) to user-
selectable values (Î 14.1.5.).
The 3-position switch is also used to operate the free
channel AUX 1, if it is assigned to a servo (Î 16.2.).
d Retract (“L-GEAR“ / 3-position switch “O“)
Transmitter control for the retractable undercarriage.
Requirement: “Retracts” must be assigned to a servo
(Î 16.2.).
The transit time can be extended to max. four seconds
(Î 14.1.9.).
e Trainer button (“TEACHER“ / “M“ button)
You can connect any MULTIPLEX transmitter to our
Trainer lead to act as “pupil transmitter”. You can trans-
fer up to 5 control functions (heli: 4) to the pupil by
holding the Trainer button pressed in (Î 13.4.).
f Combi-switch (“CS“ / 2-position switch “N“)
This function is only available for fixed-wing models.
With the combi-switch you can couple the ailerons and
rudder so that the one control function follows the
movement of the other. This can make the transition
from 2-axis to “full-house” models much easier (Î
15.2.).
f Direct throttle
(“DTC“=Direct Throttle Control / 2-position switch “N“)
This function is only available for model helicopters.
Operating this switch assigns throttle control directly to
the right-hand slider (“F” = throttle limiter). This makes it
possible to control throttle using the slider F independ-
ently of the collective pitch stick, e.g. for carrying out
adjustments to the motor (Î 19.3.).
g Slider “E”
The sliders have a light ratchet effect, with a pro-
nounced centre detent. This makes it easier to find the
centre of its travel when flying a model, without having
to look down at the transmitter.
Slider “E” controls different functions as follows:
- Power models: spoilers
- Gliders: throttle (motor)
- Helicopters: gyro
h Slider “F“
Slider “F” controls different functions as follows:
- Power models: mixture
- Gliders: flaps
- Helicopters: throttle limiter
See the model template descriptions for details of addi-
tional functions of transmitter controls “E” and “F” (Î
20.).
i Snap-flap (“SNAP-FLAP“ / 2-position switch “I“)
This function is only available for fixed-wing models.
This switch activates the “snap-flap mixer” (Î 15.4.).
i Auto-rotation (“A-ROT“ / 2-position switch “I“)
This function is only available for model helicopters.
This switch activates the “auto-rotation” flight phase
when a model helicopter is flown.
j Motor OFF button
(“THR-CUT“ = Throttle cut / button “H“)
This function is primarily intended for use with glow-
plug motors. Operating the button cuts the motor off at
any time, without having to touch the idle trim. The
throttle channel (throttle servo) stays at minimum as
long as this button is pressed in.
k Flight phase switch
(“F-PH 1-3“ / 3-position switch “J“)
This switch is used to change from one flight phase to
another. For this to work, the flight phases must first be
assigned. If the switch is set to a blocked flight phase,
the phase is not activated, and you will hear a constant
warning tone from the piezo sounder.
(Î 18.4.)
l MIX / AUX2 (3-position switch “G“)
Used with a glider with a four-flap wing, this switch ac-
tivates the aileron Æ flap mixer. This means: the cam-
ber-changing flaps are switched to operate as secon-
dary ailerons to support the primary aileron function
using a switchable mixer (Î 15.4.).
The 3-position switch “G” is also used as the transmitter
control for the free channel “AUX 2” for any model type.
Requirement:
“AUX 2” must be assigned to a servo.

9.3. Rear face of transmitter
c Two sliding latches (OPEN) allow the transmitter to
be opened and closed quickly and easily, e.g. for chang-
ing the crystal or RF module (Î 9.5.3.).
d The strong handle provides a safe method of carry-
ing the transmitter, and also protects the rear face of
the transmitter when it is placed on the ground.
e MULTIPLEX multi-function socket
As usual with MPX, the ROYALevo also features a MUL-
TIPLEX multi-function socket (marked “CHARGE”) as
standard. It is used for the following functions:
x charging the transmitter (Î 8.)
x connecting socket for Trainer mode operations
(Î 13.4.)
x PC interface, for backing-up model data
(Î 23.1.1.)
x PC interface, for updating the transmitter
(Î 23.1.1.)
x PC interface, for use with flight simulators
x interface for diagnosis mode operations; connects to
a receiver by cable for programming and adjustment
work without transmitting an RF signal (Î 22.6.).
9.4. Inside the transmitter
c The transmitter battery installed as standard con-
sists of six environmentally friendly, high-capacity AA-
size NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) cells. For safety rea-
sons the cells are factory-assembled and protected in a
heat-shrink sleeve.
! Use only genuine MULTIPLEX transmitter bat-
teries! Be sure to observe the notes on battery
charging!
(Î 8.)
The transmitter battery is fitted with a special
thermo-fuse which protects the battery and - es-
pecially - the transmitter from short-circuit, re-
versed polarity and excessive currents. The trans-
mitter does not feature a separate fuse, and for this
reason a genuine MPX transmitter battery de-
signed for this equipment must be always be fitted
if the pack ever needs to be replaced.
d RF module (Radio Frequency module)
The RF module is simply plugged into the main circuit
board. It can easily be changed, for example, to use a
different frequency band (Î 9.5.3.). Two different RF
modules can be used in the ROYALevo:
HFM-4:
A simple, low-cost RF module accepting plug-in crystals
for selecting the channel / transmitter frequency.
Use only genuine MULTIPLEX transmitter crystals!
The “Channel-Check“ power-on security module can be
fitted to this RF module at any time.
HFM-S:
A modern synthesizer RF module with software-
selectable channel / transmitter frequency.
A scanner with power-on guard can
be retro-fitted.
e The TORX
£
screwdriver (size
T6), which fits in a clip under the ae-
rial well, is used to swivel the stick
units and similar tasks.
f The inside of the transmitter back panel features 3
crystal holders for spare crystals:

9.5.1. Opening and closing the transmitter case
! Switch the transmitter OFF before opening it
(short-circuit hazard)!
Opening the transmitter case:
1. Hold the transmitter in both hands and slide both
latches on the rear face downward using your
thumbs (towards “OPEN”) (Fig. 1).
2. Carefully lift off the back panel (Fig. 2).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Closing the transmitter case:
1. Carefully place the bottom edge of the back panel
in the main case and check that both retaining lugs
are correctly engaged (see arrows) (Fig. 3).
2. Carefully close the transmitter back panel (Fig.
4). ! Ensure that no cables are jammed in the
joint, and that the transmitter aerial has not slipped
out of its sleeve. The back panel should fit smoothly
into place, without requiring force.
3. Slide the latches up (opposite direction to “OPEN“)
as far as they will go.
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
9.5.2. Adjusting and replacing the transmitter
aerial
The transmitter aerial is permanently fitted to the
transmitter. For transport purposes it can be collapsed
completely and recessed into the case. It can be left col-
lapsed for set-up and programming work; this will not
harm the RF section.
! Always extend the aerial to full length before
using the transmitter to ensure reliable opera-
tion with maximum radiated power and effec-
tive range.
The aerial can be moved and locked in a second posi-
tion (angled up to the left) for controlling a model:
1. Pull the aerial away from the transmitter until you
feel a noticeable resistance (Fig. 1).
2. Pull slightly harder to overcome the resistance, and
the aerial will move another 3 - 5 mm; swivel the ae-
rial up and to the left (Fig. 2). There is now no need
to overcome the resistance.
3. Tilt the aerial as far as it will go:
the aerial locks in place.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
To move the aerial back to its original position you must
first disengage the latch again (Î Fig. 1).
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions
Page 15
ENGLIS
H
! Check regularly that the aerial makes sound
contact. Contact problems with telescopic aeri-
als reduce radiated power and therefore effec-
tive range, and reliable operation is no longer
guaranteed. If the aerial is bent, wobbly, or ex-
cessively free-moving due to wear, you must
replace it.
If the aerial is damaged, it can easily be slid out after
removing the case back, and withdrawn from the aerial
sleeve. Fit a replacement ROYALevo aerial, # 89 3002.
The plastic guide attached to the base of the aerial
should be fitted to the new aerial; an allen key is re-
quired to remove it from the old aerial.
9.5.3. Removing and installing the RF module
The two RF modules (HFM-4 and HFM-S) are not fitted
in protective housings. For this reason:
x Avoid touching the main circuit board and its com-
ponents
x Do not stress the main circuit board
x Protect the RF module from mechanical strain
x Observe the notes regarding electro-static dis-
charge (Î 3.1.)
!
Do not change any settings
If you accidentally alter the settings of any compo-
nent on the RF module, or if a component is dam-
aged, send the module to a MULTIPLEX Service
Centre or our central Customer Service Dept. and
ask for it to be checked, repaired and re-calibrated.
Removing the RF module:
1. Switch off the transmitter!
2. Open the transmitter (Î 9.5.1.)
3. Place the transmitter face-down on a soft surface.
Take care not to damage the sticks and switches!
4. Grasp the RF module by all four corners using your
thumbs and index fingers, and withdraw it carefully
and steadily (see picture below). Keep it “square” to
its socket!
Installing the RF module:
Hold the RF module as described earlier. Ensure that the
module is engaged correctly on the contact pins. Care-
fully and steadily push it into place, again keeping it
“square” to the socket.
! When changing the RF module take particular
care to avoid touching the electronic compo-
nents. If the module is to be stored outside the
transmitter, protect it from dirt and damp, and
don’t subject it to shock loads or vibration.
Changing the transmitter crystal (HFM-4 only)
Switch the transmitter OFF and remove the RF module.
Pull the crystal out of the RF module by its plastic tag.
When fitting the new crystal take care not to strain it
mechanically, and avoid bending the contact pins.
Use only genuine MULTIPLEX transmitter crystals de-
signed for the frequency band of your RF module, oth-
erwise there is no guarantee that it will work reliably.
MULTIPLEX transmitter crystals feature a translucent
blue plastic sleeve and are marked with the code letter
“S” or “Tx”.
! Crystals are extremely delicate components,
vulnerable to shock and vibration, and they are
among the parts which are crucial to the safe
operation of your RC system. Please don’t drop
them, subject them to mechanical stress (never
use force to insert them), and always store them
carefully.

9.5.4. Replacing the transmitter battery
1. Switch the transmitter OFF!
2. Pull the snap-latches of the two plastic battery
holders back towards the battery, and fold them up
(Fig. 1).
3. Remove the battery and disconnect the battery
lead from the socket on the main circuit board (Fig.
2).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
When fitting the new battery take care to stow the bat-
tery lead carefully out of the way so that it cannot get
caught up when the case is closed again.
Note:
No model data is lost when you change the battery.
9.5.5. Disabling the stick self-centring spring and
activating the ratchet / friction brake
The ROYALevo transmitter is supplied as standard with
both sticks self-centring. The springs which actuate the
ratchet or friction brake are already fitted to both stick
units, and can easily and quickly be activated:
Switch off the transmitter and open the case.
1. Locate the TORX screw for the appropriate centring
arm (1) and tighten it (clockwise) using the TORX T6
screwdriver (stored under the aerial sleeve close to
the screen) just to the point where the self-centring
action of the stick is completely disabled. Don’t
over-tighten the screw! On no account remove
the centring arm and spring!
2. The screws (2) hold the springs in place. The screws
(3) are used to adjust the hardness of the ratchet /
friction brake. The further you tighten the screw,
the harder the action of the ratchet or brake.
If you wish, it is possible to activate both springs on the
same stick, so that you obtain a mixture of ratchet and
brake action (friction) with that stick; some pilots find
this combination gives the optimum feeling of control.
9.5.6. Adjusting the “hardness” of the stick unit
In technical terms the “hardness” of the stick is the cen-
tring force of the neutralising spring.
With the ROYALevo it is possible to adjust the “hard-
ness” of each of the four stick axes separately. The dia-
gram above shows where the adjustments are made. If
you tighten the screws (4), the associated stick axis be-
comes “harder”.
9.5.7. Swivelling the stick units
The stick units of the ROYALevo can be rotated to suit
the natural angle of movement of your hands - a unique
feature to date. This is especially useful if you use your
transmitter hand-held, and control the model using
your thumbs on short stick tops. In this case the “natural
working axis” is not exactly horizontal and vertical rela-
tive to the transmitter, but at a greater or lesser angle.
Both stick units of the ROYALevo can be swivelled to
any point up to about 15° away from “square”.
1. Locate the TORX T6 screwdriver (under the aerial
sleeve close to the screen) and use it to loosen the
three TORX screws of the appropriate stick unit to
the point where the unit can be swivelled (Fig. 1).
2. Swivel the stick unit to your preferred angle, then
re-tighten the TORX screws (Fig. 2).
! Don’t over-tighten the screws, or you risk strip-
ping the threads in the plastic!

9.5.8. Adjusting and replacing the stick tops
The ROYALevo is supplied as standard with three pairs
of stick tops of different length. They are easy to
change, rotate and adjust for length:
1. Lay the transmitter on a flat surface;
2. Grasp the stick top in one hand (Fig. 1);
3. Undo the retaining nut with your other hand by
twisting it clockwise (Fig. 1).
The stick shaft is smooth, and the stick top can now be
rotated or adjusted in length. If you wish to swap the
stick tops, unscrew the retaining nuts from both stick
tops and use them to secure the replacements (Fig. 2).
Before fitting the stick tops ensure that the stick shafts
are clean and free of grease and oil. If you neglect this,
the stick tops may not stay “put” on the shafts.

10. Using the system
for the first time
10.1. Charging the transmitter battery
The ROYALevo transmitter is supplied with a part-
charged battery, and it must be given a full charge be-
fore being used for the first time. Please read the charg-
ing notes carefully to avoid damaging the transmitter
battery or the transmitter (Î 8.).
10.2. Switching on for the first time
When you switch on for the first time you will see the
following screen display:
Use the “▲ “ (UP) und “▼ “ (DOWN) buttons to select
your preferred language, and press the “ENTER” button
to confirm your selection.
10.3. Switching on
Every time you switch the transmitter ON the power-on
info display always appears briefly. This shows informa-
tion on the transmitter type, the software version and
the current national language you have selected for the
screen text displays:
If there is no RF module installed, the following message
will appear briefly:
“Attention: no RF!”
The first time you switch on, status display 1 appears;
subsequently you will see the status display 1 - 3 that
you last used:
Picture: status display 1
ROYAL evo 7
Page 18
10.3.1. Switching on with the HFM-4 crystal RF
module
The power-on info display (Î 10.2.) is followed by the
status display you last used (Î 10.7.). If everything is in
order, the crystal RF module is activated and the trans-
mitter immediately radiates an RF (Radio Frequency)
signal. The LED starts flashing (Î 10.6.), and the screen
switches to the last active status display; the transmitter
is now ready for use.
10.3.2. Switching on with the HFM-S Synthesizer
RF module
The power-on info display (Î 10.2.) is followed briefly
by a screen showing the set channel and the associated
transmission frequency:
This in turn is followed by the status display you last
used. If everything is in order, the Synthesizer RF mod-
ule is activated, and the transmitter immediately radi-
ates an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. The LED starts to
flash (Î 10.6.), the screen switches to the last active
status display, and the transmitter is ready for use.
The first time you switch on the transmitter with a Syn-
thesizer RF module, or if you replace the Synthesizer RF
module, the power-on info screen is followed by infor-
mation on how to set the transmission channel:
The method of selecting a channel using the HFM-S
Synthesizer RF module is described in the section
“Transmission channel selection with the HFM-S Syn-
thesizer RF module” (Î 10.5.).
10.3.3. Switching on without transmitting an RF sig-
nal
It is possible to switch on the transmitter without radiat-
ing an RF signal, whether the unit is fitted with the HFM-
4 crystal RF module or the HFM-S Synthesizer RF mod-
ule. This means that no frequency channel is used, and
the transmitter can be operated for a long period for
programming (approx. 10 x longer than when the RF
module is operating).
Hold the tool button “L” pressed in as you switch on
you are now at the power-on menu,
RF stays OFF RF status LED (Î 10.6.) glows con-
stantly.
One of the following displays appears:
With HFM-4 crystal
RF module
With HFM-S Synthesizer
RF module
You can return to the last active status display by press-
ing any direct access menu button (one of the buttons
in the top row of the keypad) or the “ENTER” button.
! Note:
The RF module remains switched OFF until you switch
the transmitter on again.
10.4. Security query at power-on
10.4.1. Throttle check
If the parameter Thr. check is set to ON in the menu
L Transmitter (Î 13.1.5.), the following display
may appear when you switch the transmitter on:
The transmitter is immediately ready for use; an RF sig-
nal is transmitted.
!
However, for safety reasons the throttle channel is
held at idle until the throttle control (heli: throttle
limiter) is moved to the idle position (heli: to throt-
tle minimum).
The symbol under the message indicates the control
which operates the throttle. In the example above this is
the throttle stick. As soon as you move the throttle stick
to the idle position, the last used status display appears.
If you wish, you can switch the “Throttle Check” safety
query ON or OFF (Î 13.1.5.).
TIP:
If the throttle check display does not disappear:
This can only occur if the throttle control is faulty, you
have operated the wrong control, or you have moved it
to the wrong end-point. You can by-pass the safety
query at any time by pressing any direct access menu
button or the “ENTER” button.
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions

H
10.4.2. RF check with the Synthesizer module
If the ROYALevo is fitted with an HFM-S Synthesizer RF
module, you can activate an additional safety query (RF
Check Î 13.1.6.). In this case the transmitter does not
start radiating an RF signal on the displayed channel un-
til you have confirmed this query by pressing one of the
direct access menu buttons or the “ENTER” button.
If RF Check = ON, the following display appears when
y o u s w i t c h o n w i t h a n H F M - S S y n t h e s i z e r R F m o d u l e :
Line 1 shows the set channel, line 2 the corresponding
transmission frequency.
For safety reasons RF signal transmission remains
switched OFF until you confirm the displayed channel /
transmission frequency by pressing any direct access
menu button or the “ENTER” button. Only then does the
last active status display appear, and RF transmission is
activated.
The “RF Check” safety query can be switched ON or OFF
as required (Î 13.1.6.).
10.5. Transmission channel selection
with the HFM-S Synthesizer RF
module
With an HFM-S Synthesizer RF module, the channel can
be selected very simply, conveniently and safely:
1. Hold the tool button L pressed in and switch the
transmitter on
You are now at the channel set menu,
RF remains OFF (LED glows constantly)
The following display appears:
You can now select the desired channel using the “▲ “
(UP) / “▼ “ (DOWN) buttons or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors. The corresponding transmission frequency is
displayed below the channel number.
2. Switch the transmitter off, then on again
(WITHOUT pressing the tool button)
The screen now displays the following:
- the number of the selected channel
- alternately:
the frequency of the selected channel
the reminder: “New channel!“
- the message: “RF activated“
- a bar display indicating the waiting period
RF signal transmission now remains switched off (LED
glowing constantly) until the waiting period (bar dis-
play) for activating the new channel has elapsed. During
this waiting period it is possible to switch off the trans-
mitter before an RF signal is transmitted, perhaps be-
cause you have accidentally set the wrong channel.
When the waiting period has elapsed, the last used
status display appears. The RF module is activated, the
LED starts flashing, and the transmitter is ready for use.
10.6. The RF status display (red LED)
When the transmitter is switched on, the red LED (light-
emitting diode) constantly indicates the current status
of the RF module, i.e. whether an RF (Radio Frequency)
signal is being transmitted or not.
RF transmission ON:
2 sec 2 sec ...
The LED lights up for about 2 seconds at intervals to in-
dicate that the transmitter is ready for use, and is radiat-
ing an RF signal.
RF transmission OFF:
The LED glows constantly.
The transmitter electronics detect whether an RF signal
is being transmitted or not from the RF module’s cur-
rent drain. If the current drain falls below a certain value,
the transmitter electronics “know” that an RF signal is
not being radiated with full power, or not at all (
!
in
which case safe operation cannot be guaranteed). This
method of testing is very safe, as it is also capable of de-
tecting faults and mistakes:
x Is an RF module installed in the transmitter?
x Is the RF module installed correctly in the
transmitter (contact fault)?
x Is the RF module working properly?
x Is a crystal fitted, and is it working properly
(only with the HFM-4 crystal RF module)?
x Is the transmitter aerial present, and is it mak-
ing good contact?
If the ROYALevo is in use as a pupil transmitter (Trainer
mode) or is connected for diagnosis operations, or if the
transmitter is connected to a PC, then there will also be
no RF signal transmitted LED glows constantly.

10.7. The status displays
In all, three different status displays are available, de-
signed to present relevant information while you are
flying. You can switch between the different status dis-
plays using the “▲ “ or “▼ “ buttons.
When you switch the transmitter on, the screen always
displays the status display you last used.

11.The operating philosophy
The ROYALevo7 features a new, ultra-simple operating
philosophy, as already adopted successfully for the
ROYALevo 9 and 12. The great advantage of the system
is the clear, logically arranged list-based menu structure.
The menus and settings are displayed in plain language
(a choice of several) for ease of understanding. The sys-
tem is controlled using the keypad and the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
The direct access menu buttons take you straight to the
clearly laid-out and logically sub-divided main menus.
Menu points can then be quickly and easily selected
and values changed using the 3D digi-adjustors (rotate
= select / change, press = confirm “ENTER”), or alterna-
tively using UP / DOWN (“▲ ” / “▼ ”) and the “ENTER”
button.
11.1. The keypad
11.1.1. Direct access menu buttons (row 1)
The keypad is used to program (more accurately: adjust
the settings of) the transmitter.
The six buttons in the top row are the direct access
menu buttons. Pressing a button takes you directly to
one of the six main menus, each of which leads to the
associated sub-menus. The buttons are marked with
corresponding symbols:

11.1.3. Text input
It is sometimes necessary to input text during the pro-
gramming procedure, for example, in the case of model
names and the user’s name. Text is entered using the
keypad (which will be familiar to mobile phone users)
and a 3D digi-adjustor.
Letters and symbols are selected using the keypad. The
symbols which can be called up by a rapid multiple
press of one button are printed in small type below the
direct access menu buttons (row 1) and above the work-
ing buttons (row 2):
If a letter is entered at the start of a text input or after a
space, it is automatically formatted as a capital; the fol-
lowing letters automatically in lower case. If you wish to
enter a series of capital letters, hold the button pressed
in until the capitals appear. After the selection the input
cursor jumps automatically to the next position. The
cursor can be moved forward or back manually to any
point you wish using one of the 3D digi-adjustors.
The input process is concluded by pressing the “ENTER”
button. The screen responds with the following query:
x Pressing the “REV/CLR“ button erases all the inputs
after the last cursor position.
x Pressing “ENTER“ leaves the input unchanged.
Entering special symbols
Certain buttons can be used to enter special symbols in
addition to the printed characters.

11.2. The 3D digi-adjustors
Two 3D digi-adjustors (Î 9.2.) are installed in the
transmitter as standard. They are used for programming
and making adjustments.
11.2.1. Programming using the 3D digi-adjustors
During programming both 3D digi-adjustors work in
parallel with the “ENTER” button when pressed, and in
parallel with the “▲ “ (UP) and “▼ “ (DOWN) buttons
when rotated. You will quickly discover that you prefer
the one method of operation or the other.
11.2.2. Carrying out in-flight adjustments using
the 3D digi-adjustors
Many model settings can only be optimised in flight. To
this end many different parameters can be assigned to
the 3D digi-adjustors. A typical example is aileron dif-
ferential.
1. Select the aileron differential parameter (Fig. 1)
2. Press the accept button < F >.
The 3D digi-adjustor symbol (Fig. 2) now appears in
place of the percentage (%) value. Now press one of
the 3D digi-adjustors to select which one you wish
to use for the in-flight adjustment.
I f y o u m a k e a m i s t a k e , i . e . y o u d o n o t w i s h t o a s s i g n
the parameter, simply press the ENTER button.
You can now leave the menu and return to the status
display.
The top line of the status displays 1 - 3 now shows that
aileron differential “Ail.Diff.” can be adjusted using the
right-hand 3D digi-adjustor (Fig. 3). If you press or rotate
the corresponding 3D digi-adjustor the current set
value of that parameter appears for a moment (Fig. 4). A
closed padlock indicates that the value cannot be al-
tered at the moment (to guard against accidental
changes).
If you wish to be able to alter the value, press the 3D
digi-adjustor assign switch < F >: the value can now be
changed. Every alteration to the value is immediately
stored. Pressing the 3D digi-adjustor assign button
blocks access to the value again (closed padlock sym-
bol).

What can be assigned?
Virtually all parameters with numeric values can be as-
signed to a 3D digi-adjustor in this way, but there are a
few exceptions. In the following screen shot the “Step”
parameter (trim increment) cannot be assigned.
Assignable parameters with numeric values are indi-
cated by a vertical hyphen after the parameter name. If
you attempt to assign a parameter which is non-
assignable, this symbol appears when you press the
digi-adjustor assign button:
ƒ
You will also hear an error tone when you press one of
the 3D digi-adjustors.
Erasing the assignment (sequence only)
This is the procedure for erasing the assignment:
1. Hold the corresponding 3D digi-adjustor pressed in;
2. Press the (REV/CLR) button.
the screen displays “- - -“, and the assignment is
erased.
Alternatively you can at any time “over-write” an as-
signment by assigning a new parameter.
Note:
To avoid the danger of making an accidental mistake,
assigned parameters cannot be reversed, i.e. it is not
possible to adjust a value past “0” or “OFF”.
Note: (sequence only)
If you are using flight phase switching
Adjustment parameters which have different values in
different flight phases are displayed according to the
currently active flight phase, and can be adjusted inde-
pendently of each other from one flight phase to the
next using the appropriate 3D digi-adjustor.
11.3. Working with the keypad and 3D
digi-adjustors - the operating phi-
losophy
The method of switching the transmitter on has already
been described, as have the status displays (Î 10.3. /
Î 10.7.).
The following section explains the operating philoso-
phy of the ROYALevo7 and the method of working with
the keypad and the 3D digi-adjustors, based on the ex-
ample of entering the user’s name. The starting point is
one of the status displays 1 - 3 (Î 10.7.).
11.3.1. How to call up the main menus
The direct access menu buttons are the key to entering
the transmitter’s menu level for programming (Î
11.1.1.). In all six main menus are present, which contain
the following sub-menus:
L
SETUP (Configuration)
H
TRANSMITTER CONTROLS
G
MIXER
K
SERVO
A
TIMER (Stopwatch)
I
MEMORY
To call up a main menu simply press the corresponding
direct access menu button.
(Example: “Input owner’s name”: button L )
The following display appears:
The first line indicates the main menu in which you are
currently working (example: Setup main menu: “L
Setup“).
The second line always shows “¨ Exit“. See:
(Î 11.3.4.) for more details.
The following lines list the associated sub-menus. The
four dots after the name of the sub-menu “....“ indi-
cate the presence of additional menus (sub-menus).
11.3.2. How to open sub-menus
You can select one of the sub-menus line by line using
the UP / DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D
digi-adjustors. In each case the selected line is shown in
inverse video (dark background). This is similar to the
cursor on a PC.
(Example: “Enter owner’s name”: select the sub-menu
“User“).
ROYAL evo 7
Page 24
Press the “ENTER” button or one of the 3D digi-adjustors
to open the sub-menu.
The sub-menu now opens.
(Example “Enter owner’s name”:
sub-menu “User “):
To help you remember where you are, the first line
again displays the symbol for the associated main
menu, together with the name of the currently selected
sub-menu.
(Example: switching language:
Main menu Setup: “L“ / sub-menu “ User “)
Note:
If the screen area is not sufficient to list all of the sub-
menus, you will see arrowheads “ © “ or “ ª “ at the
edge of the screen. You can then simply “leaf through”
up or down using the UP / DOWN buttons ( / ) or
one of the two 3D digi-adjustors in order to reach the
start or end of the list. This is similar to “scrolling” in a PC
program. Example:
11.3.3. How to change values / settings
We will enter the user’s name as our example.
Starting from the status display, this is the procedure:
1. Press the L button.
This takes you to the Setup menu. There you can
select the User sub-menu using the UP / DOWN
buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors. Press ENTER (or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors) to move to the sub-menu.
2. Now select the Name parameter using the UP /
DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
3. To change the settings / parameters (in our exam-
ple “Entering the user’s name” Æ Name) press the
ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-adjustors.
If you are dealing with a % value, you can now
change the selected value / parameter using the
UP / DOWN ( / ) buttons or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors.
In our example “Entering the owner’s name” we
will use the keypad to input text (Î 11.1.3.).
Press the ENTER button (or press one of the two
3D digi-adjustors) to confirm your input and leave
the input field.
Note regarding storing:
Altered values are stored immediately. It is not
necessary to store information manually.
TIP!
Using the REV/CLR button
The value of a parameter can be altered using either the
UP / DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D digi-

12.Digital trims
12.1. Introduction
The meaning of the term “trimming” is as follows:
A model aircraft is required to fly straight and level
when the transmitter sticks are left undisturbed. If this is
not the case, e.g. the model tends to turn in one direc-
tion, the neutral point of the rudder or ailerons can be
corrected (trimmed) to compensate for this.
The ROYALevo7 features a modern digital trim for all
four axes of the primary sticks.
The ROYALevo7 adopts the “Centre Trim” principle, i.e.
trim corrections only affect the central range of the
transmitter control, but not the end-points. The advan-
tage over “standard trims” is that the full travel of the
transmitter control (and thus servo travel) can still be
exploited, as no reserve has to be provided for trim-
ming.

Standard trimming
The diagram shows that the servo reaches its top end-
point when the stick is moved to the right, but before
the stick reaches its end-point. This means: the stick has
a “dead zone”.
When the stick is moved to the left the servo never
reaches its full down-travel. This means: full servo travel
cannot be exploited.
Centre trimming
The servo reaches both its end-points, regardless of the
position of the associated trim.
TIP!
“Centre Trims” alter the response curve of the transmit-
ter control, so you should always try to keep trim correc-
tions to a minimum. If a major correction is required, it is
always best to adjust the mechanical linkage!
12.2. Advantages of digital trims
Digital trims have two important advantages:
1. The trim buttons have no actual mechanical posi-
tion which corresponds to a trim value (cf. a con-
ventional trim with trim sliders). The position of a
digital trim is displayed on-screen, and the trim val-
ues are stored in the model memory. If you switch
model memories, you do not need to move the
trims back to the correct position, as the correct
trim is automatically set.
2. For models which are used with flight phases, the
ROYALevo 7 provides its own trim memory for each
flight phase. Each flight phase can therefore be
trimmed accurately and simply, independently of
the other phases.
12.3. The cruciform digital trim system
The trims of the ROYAL evo take the
form of a cruciform set of buttons be-
low and to one side of the stick units.
They are located in the ideal position in
terms of ergonomics, and are easily ac-
cessible when the transmitter is hand-
h e l d o r u s e d i n a t r a y .
Every press of a trim button produces a
trim change in the corresponding control axis in the
appropriate direction. If a trim button is held pressed in
for longer than about one second, the trim automati-
cally increments until you release the button again
(AUTO-REPEAT function).
You will hear a beep every time you generate a trim in-
crement. If the trim reaches its centre point, or one of its
end-points, a different sound is emitted to help you
keep track of the trim position. The trim beeps can be
switched OFF and ON (Î 13.1.1.).
!
The trim of the fourth stick axis (‡) always af-
fects throttle, and takes the form of a special
idle trim.
This also applies with gliders (and powered gliders)
if this stick controls spoilers, or if it controls collec-
tive pitch on a model helicopter.
12.4. On-screen trim display
The trim settings are shown in graphic bar-graph form
on both sides and the bottom of status displays 1 - 3.
A maximum of 20 trim increments are available in both
directions, starting from the centre position. The incre-
ment size (trim change / trim step) can be set to either
of two values (0.5% / 1.5%) if required ( TStep Î
14.1.3.).
! Note: trim increment size, trim range
When you change the trim increment size, the
number of increments is unchanged; i.e. the
trim range and also the trim value (!) is altered.
This means: if you change the trim increment
size, you must re-trim your model.
The current trim value is shown on the screen in graphic
form, but can also be read off as a numerical value for
each transmitter control (Trim parameter Î 14.1.2.)
TIP! Resetting the trim to centre
If you press both trim buttons associated with a particu-
lar stick axis, the trim for the current active flight phase
is reset to centre. This also applies to the throttle trim.

13.1.2. Parameter: Battery Alarm
Þ
global effect
Range 6.70 to 7.5 V (0.01V increments)
Default 6.9 V
The battery alarm is designed to alert you when the re-
maining charge is only sufficient for a certain residual
operating time.
! The lower the threshold you set,
the shorter the remaining residual time.
The residual operating time varies very greatly accord-
ing to the condition of the battery (maintenance,
charge procedure, storage, age, number of charge cy-
cles), as well as the set warning threshold. For this rea-
son it is really essential that you carry out a test to estab-
lish how much residual time remains with the warning
threshold you have set.
This can be done by switching on the transmitter with
the aerial fully extended and an RF module installed
(crystal RF module: crystal fitted). It is not necessary to
move the sticks. Set the alarm threshold to the desired
value, and set status display 1 or 2 to show the battery
voltage.
We recommend an alarm threshold no lower than
6.90 Volts.
Now record the (warning) time from the first alarm
sound until the battery falls to the minimum operating
voltage of 6.7 Volts.
! 6.7 V is the minimum permissible operating vol-
tage.
At around 6.3 V the transmitter switches itself
off automatically!
! Caution!
The warning time is very much shorter if the
battery is already discharged to a low level
when you switch the transmitter on.
13.1.3. Parameter: Battery charge
Þ
global effect
In addition to the battery alarm (transmitter battery
voltage monitor), the ROYALevo 7 features a current
monitor. It “counts” the current which flows into the
battery when on charge, the current which flows out
when the unit is in use, and also takes into account the
self-discharge rate. From this information it calculates
the battery’s residual charge, which is displayed in
status display 3.
You can correct the calculated battery charge within the
range 0 mAh to 2500 mAh in 50 mAh increments, e.g. if
you had removed the battery for charging. The battery
charge is automatically reset to 0 mAh if battery voltage
falls below 6.5 Volts.
Pressing the “REV/CLR” button erases the displayed bat-
tery charge; pressing it a second time resets the battery
charge to 1500 mAh.
Please read the section Transmitter battery / charging
(Î 8.5.) for more information on “battery manage-
ment”.

Throttle Check ON
Electric-powered models may cause havoc if switched
on with full-throttle set, i.e. if the transmitter throttle
control is not at idle.
If Throttle Check = ON the transmitter checks two pa-
rameters when it is switched on:
1. Is EMERGENCY throttle CUT switched off?
2. Is the THROTTLE control at the idle position?
If the THROTTLE control is not at idle, the screen dis-
plays the following warning:
The RF module is immediately activated, but for safety
reasons the throttle signal is held at idle until the throt-
tle control (in the illustration above the throttle stick) is
moved to the idle position.
13.1.6. Parameter: RF Check
Þ
global effect
only possible with the HFM-S Synthe-
sizer RF module!
! Safety query when the transmitter is switched
on!
RF Check ON
Since it is relatively simple to switch channels with a
Synthesizer RF module, it is possible to activate an addi-
tional safety query with the ROYALevo7.
If RF Check = ON, the transmitter asks you each time
you switch on whether you really
wish to use the set
channel. You have to confirm this by pressing a button:
any direct access menu button or “ENTER”). Only then is
RF transmission activated, i.e. the transmitter starts to
transmit.
13.2. Sub-menu: Mixer AB
Þ Defined mixers only apply to the currently active
model. Here you can set up two different free mixers for
each model, both for fixed-wing models and helicop-
ters.
A mixer is set up by selecting a transmitter control and a
servo (mixer: Control Æ Servo)
Press ENTER to open the appropriate input field and se-
lect a control and a servo using the ( / ) buttons or
one of the digi-adjustors. The control functions (aileron
(roll), elevator (pitch-axis), rudder (yaw), throttle) are in-
cluded a second time at the end of the transmitter con-
trol list, this time without trim (e.g. Aileron-T).
The selected transmitter control is mixed into all servos
which bear the same name.
Example:
You select “L.gear” (retracts) as transmitter control, and
“V-TAIL+” as servo. The retract signal is now mixed into
both V-tail servos.
The mixer becomes active when you assign the trans-
mitter control (in our example L.gear).
The structure of the mixer is selected in this menu point,
but the magnitude of the mixing is set in the main
menu Mixer G. It only appears if you have already “set it
up” here.
It is also possible to assign one of the mixer switches
Mix1 (= ”I”), Mix2 (= “G”) or Mix3 (= “L”). This enables you
to switch the mixer on and off in flight.
There are differences in the facilities provided by the
two mixers.
“MixerA“ features only a simple “symmetrical” travel
setting. The control functions aileron (roll), elevator
(pitch-axis), rudder (yaw), flap are mixed symmetrically,
i.e. the zero point of the mixer is the centre point of the
transmitter control. The zero point of the other control
functions is at the end of the transmitter control (neu-
tral point of the transmitter control, e.g. throttle = idle,
collective pitch = coll. pitch min., spoiler = spoiler re-
tracted). This mixer is designed to be used for mixing
transmitter controls whose neutral point is located at
one end-point of the control (e.g. throttle, spoiler, re-
tracts).
“MixerB” offers separate travel adjustment for each
side of the transmitter control. This mixer is designed to
be used for mixing transmitter controls whose neutral
point is located at the centre of the control’s travel (e.g.
aileron / roll, elevator / pitch-axis, rudder / yaw, AUX1,
AUX2, collective pitch etc.).

tor, rudder, throttle or spoiler (helicopters: roll, pitch-
axis, yaw, collective pitch). All four possible stick modes
are available. The double-ended arrows are just a re-

The stick mode can be changed at any time (e.g. if an-
other user who prefers a different mode wishes to fly
your model). Switching stick modes has absolutely no
effect on other settings or values (e.g. trim settings).
The stick mode for the active model memory can be
changed both here, in the menu L Setup, Control,
and also in menu I Memory, Properties ( Î 18.5.).
13.3.2. Parameter: Assignment
L
Information field; cannot be modified
In the case of model helicopters (model template:
HELIccpm, HELImech), some switches and transmitter
controls are “assigned” to different functions compared
to gliders and power models. For your information this
display shows the transmitter control / switch assign-
ment associated with the current model memory. The
assignment cannot be changed here; when you set up a
new model it is set automatically in accordance with the
selected model template.
The assignment for each model memory is displayed
both here, in the Menu L Setup, Control, and also in
the Menu I Memory, Properties ( Î 18.5.). The de-
tails of transmitter control and switch assignments
(which control / switch operates what?) can be found in
the description of the various model templates (Î 20.
on).
13.3.3. Parameter: Control neutral position
Thr. min (Idle) -->
Coll. pitch min. (negative coll.) -->
I
Parameter affects active model only
Where do you wish to have the idle setting of the throt-
tle stick (helicopter: collective pitch minimum)? Forward
or back? The arrow (see picture) shows the current neut-
ral position of the transmitter control. An asterisk (*) af-
ter the arrow indicates that the control is currently at
the neutral position.
To change the neutral position of the transmitter con-
trol select “Thr. min” or “Coll. min” and press the
“REV/CLR” button. The arrow now points in the opposite
direction. Press the “ENTER” button or one of the 3D
digi-adjustors to close the input field.
It is of fundamental importance to set the neutral posi-
tions of the transmitter controls correctly. Many vital
functions (e.g. idle trim, mixers, emergency throttle cut
etc.) only work properly if these settings are correct.
! Caution!
The motor may burst into life! Never change the
neutral setting of a transmitter control with the
model’s receiving system switched on.

iter” equates to motor idle or OFF. The method of set-
ting this parameter is described above (Î 13.3.3. and
13.3.4.).

13.4. Sub-menu: Training
13.4.1. Trainer (teacher / pupil) mode
“Trainer” mode, sometimes called the “buddy-box”
method, is the safest means of getting started in model
flying. Two transmitters are inter-connected using a
special lead. An experienced model pilot has control of
the model, but can transfer individual functions to the
pupil by operating the trainer button (“TEACHER”).
Later, when the pupil has gained some experience, the
teacher can transfer all the functions at once. If individ-
ual control functions are transferred, the teacher retains
control of the remaining functions. If he releases the
“TEACHER” button, the tutor instantly regains full con-
trol of the model, e.g. if a crash appears to be imminent.
Only the teacher’s transmitter radiates an RF signal; it
also provides power to the pupil transmitter and carries
out all the data processing, i.e. the pupil transmitter
only has to be set to pupil mode (depending on type).
No other programming is necessary, and no settings
have to be altered. All the teacher’s transmitter requires
from the pupil transmitter is the pure stick signals.
The ROYALevo7 can be used both as teacher and pupil
transmitter.
As teacher transmitter the ROYALevo7 can transfer up
to 5 functions to the pupil.
With a fixed-wing model these are:
Aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, spoiler
With a model helicopter:
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw, collective pitch
As pupil transmitter the ROYALevo7 generates the
same functions as listed above, which can be accepted
by the teacher transmitter. If the ROYALevo7 is set to
pupil mode, the trims, mixers and all transmitter control
and servo settings are switched off.
13.4.2. The ROYALevo as teacher transmitter
1. Connect the teacher and pupil transmitters using
the Trainer lead, # 8 5121, connected to the multi-
function sockets. Take care to connect the cable
correctly: the pupil end of the lead is marked
“Schüler” (pupil), the teacher end “Lehrer”
(teacher).
The following transmitters can be used as the pupil
unit: ROYALevo7 / 9 / 12, Cockpit MM, Commander
mc, EUROPA mc, PiCOline, PROFI mc 3010 / 3030 /
4000.
Many older models of MULTIPLEX transmitter are
also suitable for use as pupil transmitters. If your
pupil transmitter is not listed above, please check
with our Customer Services Department.
2. Now switch on the teacher transmitter
(ROYALevo7) this automatically switches on the
pupil transmitter, which is powered by the teacher
transmitter.
Important: the ON/OFF switch on the pupil trans-
mitter must be left at the OFF position!
3. Move to the Setup / Training sub-menu.
You will see the following display:
Fig. 1: SETUP / Training menu Fig. 2: SETUP / Training menu
for fixed-wing models for model helicopters
The “<M” display means that the button on the left-
hand side (<) of the transmitter is the one used to
transfer control (the Trainer switch). If you operate
this button, an asterisk (*) appears to indicate that
the pupil can control the model.
4. Select:
Mode = Teacher M, if the pupil transmitter gener-
ates signals in the MULTIPLEX format
(neutral pulse width = 1.6 ms)
(e.g. ROYALevo 7 / 9 / 12 with “Train M”, Cockpit
MM with servo format setting to “M”, Commander
mc, EUROPA mc, PiCOline, PROFI mc 3010 / 3030 /
4000).
Mode = Teacher U, if the pupil transmitter gener-
ates signals in the UNIVERSAL format.
(Neutral pulse width = 1.5 ms)
(e.g. PiCO-line, ROYALevo transmitter with "Train
U", COCKPIT MM with servo format setting to "U"
(UNI).
5. Select the function which the pupil is to control,
and press the “ENTER” button or one of the 3D
digi-adjustors.
The cursor is now located at the input field for
channel assignment.
6. On the pupil transmitter move the transmitter con-
trol with which the pilot is to control the selected
control function (Quick-Select). The corresponding
channel number is displayed (e.g. “Ch1” for aile-
ron). Check that the model’s control surfaces move
in the correct “sense” (direction). If not, you can re-
verse the function by pressing the REV/CLR button
(# or ').
Note: Quick-Select can only be used if the
ROYALevo7 is switched on and radiating an RF
signal.
7. Press the “ENTER” button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors to complete the assignment process.
Hold the “TEACHER” button pressed in to check
that the system is working correctly. The pupil pilot
should now operate the control function you have
just assigned. Check that the control surfaces on
the model work in the correct direction!
8. Repeat steps 5. to 7. until all the control functions
which are to be transferred to the pupil have been
assigned. You can then return to the status display
and start the training session.

revs up or bursts into life, and that the model is not
able to cause other damage. For safety reasons the
assignment should be made with the motor
stopped or the electric motor disconnected. You
can check that the system is working as required
by using the servo monitor facility even with the
model switched off (Î 16.3.) .
An assignment can be erased by selecting the control
function and selecting “OFF” using the ( / ) buttons
or one of the digi-adjustors.
If the transmitter is switched off in “TeacherU” or
“TeacherM” mode, the transmitter will automatically
switch to the Setup / Training menu when next
switched on, and remind you that the transmitter is op-
erating in this mode.
13.4.3. The ROYALevo as pupil transmitter
Important: if the ROYALevo is used as a pupil transmit-
ter, the trims have no effect (teacher’s trims active).
The following can be used as Teacher transmitters:
ROYALevo 7 / 9 / 12, Commander mc, PROFI mc 3010 /
3030 / 4000.
Some older MULTIPLEX transmitters are also suitable for
use as teacher transmitters. If your teacher transmitter is
not listed above, please enquire at our Customer Ser-
vice Department.
1. Connect the pupil transmitter to the teacher
transmitter using the Trainer lead, # 8 5121, con-
nected to the multi-function sockets. Take care to
connect the cable correctly: the pupil end of the
lead is marked "Schüler" (pupil), the teacher end
"Lehrer" (teacher).
2. Now switch on the teacher transmitter.
The pupil transmitter (ROYALevo7) is automati-
cally switched on, and draws power from the
teacher transmitter.
3. Switch to the Training sub-menu.
4. Select:
Mode = Pupil M, if the teacher transmitter expects
signals in the MULTIPLEX format.
(Neutral pulse width = 1.6 ms)
(e.g. ROYALevo 7 / 9 / 12 with “Teacher M”, Com-
mander mc, PROFI mc 3010 / 3030 / 4000).
Mode = Pupil U, if the teacher transmitter expects
signals in the UNIVERSAL format.
(Neutral pulse width = 1.5 ms)
(e.g. ROYALevo 7 / 9 / 12 with “Teacher U”)
The following display now appears:
Note:
If the ROYALevo7 is switched off again after a training
session without the Training / Mode parameter be-
ing set to OFF, for safety reasons the transmitter
switches directly to the SETUP / Training menu
when next switched on.
Before every flight in Trainer mode be sure to check
the following points one last time:
x Are all the control functions which the pupil is not
permitted to control set to “OFF”?
x Is the assignment of the control functions unam-
biguous? It is not permissible for any of the pupil’s
servo channels to be assigned twice!
x Are all the directions of rotation of the control func-
tions correct? Please check this every time before you
fly the model.
Note:
If the cable connection between the two transmitters is
disconnected during a Trainer session, all control func-
tions automatically revert to the teacher’s transmitter.

14. Main menu Control H
The term transmitter control refers to all the elements
of the transmitter to which control functions are as-
signed. They may be sticks, sliders or switches.
The Control menu is dynamic, i.e. it only shows those
controls which are used for the currently active model.
All other controls are suppressed, in order to prevent
confusion caused by unnecessary information. For a
simple fixed-wing model or helicopter the Control
main menu may look like this:
Overview of controls and available parameters
The following table provides an overview of all trans-
mitter controls, in each case with all available para-
meters. The controls are arranged according to fixed-
wing models and helicopters. Some controls may ap-
pear in fixed-wing and helicopters. Controls which have
the same parameters are assembled in groups.
Where you see the symbol after an available para-
meter, this means that the value may be different in all
flight phases.

14.1. Screen structure of control menus
Our example shows the screen display for the aileron
control, with all the available set-up parameters. The
display may not look exactly like this as it depends upon
the transmitter control and its available parameters.
The screen is divided into three sections:
1. Name of control and active flight phase
At the top is the name of the transmitter control (in
our example Aileron). Next to it is the name of
the active flight phase (in our example the NORMAL
flight phase).
2. Parameter list
On the left you see all the parameters of the trans-
mitter control you have selected together with the
set values, all clearly laid out.
3. Graph
The graph on the right displays the effect of all the
settings in graphic form. The curve of the graph
immediately reflects changes in the settings and
makes the behaviour of the control easier to un-
derstand. The dotted vertical line shows the cur-
rent position of the transmitter control.
Next to the parameters you will see two additional indi-
cators:
The small, high-set dash following the parameter name
indicates that this value can be assigned to one of the
3 D d ig i - ad j u st o r s, a n d c a n the n b e ad j u st e d in f li g h t ( Î
11.2.2.).
Expo — -90%
The small number after the parameter name (1 to 4) in-
dicates that this parameter can be set to a different
value for each flight phase (Î 18.4).
Trim ˜ 2.0%
Some parameters can be assigned to the 3D digi-
adjustor and also be changed separately for each flight
phase. In this case both symbols are displayed.
Trvl – -90%
14.2. Parameter: Trim
for controls:
for controls:
Aileron, elevator, rudder
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw
1
Display only
One trim value for each flight phase
The positional display of the digital trim takes the form
of a bar graph in status displays 1 and 2 (Î 10.7.). The
Trim parameter also shows the trim setting of the
transmitter control in each flight phase as a % value.
14.3. Parameter: Step (trim increment)
for controls:
for controls:
Aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw
Adjust. range 1.5% (= normal) / 0.5% (= fine)
The digital trims of the ROYALevo7 have a trim range of
±20 increments. With Step you can determine the trim
change in % trim increment. The maximum trim range is
±10% when Step is 0.5%, and ±30% when Step is
1.5%.
!
Note
If you change the increment size and one transmit-
ter control trim is already off-centre, the actual trim
setting will change. In this case you must adjust
the trim setting to obtain the original deflection.
In most cases a trim increment of 1.5% proves to be
ideal. However, for very fast models with precision con-
trol linkages, and models with very large control surface
travels (e.g. fun-fly models) the 1.5% trim increment
may be excessive. In this case you should set Step to
0.5%, as this provides ultra-fine trim control.
14.4. Parameter: Idle (idle trim)
For control: Throttle
1
Display only
Idle trim is necessary for models powered by internal
combustion motors. The motor is required to run at a
safe idle when the throttle stick (throttle control) is at
the idle end-point. The throttle trim can be adjusted at
any time to set and adjust the idle speed. The trim for
the throttle control therefore only affects the bottom
half of the travel, i.e. from idle to half-throttle.
The neutral (idle) position of the throttle control is se-
lected at the Thr. min parameter in the Setup /
Control menu (Î 13.3.3.).
Like Trim, the Idlel parameter only provides informa-
tion, and shows the idle setting in %. The idle setting is
displayed in graphic form in status displays 1 and 2.

14.5. Parameter: D/R (Dual Rate)
for controls:
for controls:
Aileron, elevator, rudder
Roll, pitch axis, yaw
Adjust. range 10% to 100%
F
Can be assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
Dual Rates are designed to modify the sensitivity of a
transmitter control. For example, if the Dual Rate pa-
rameter for a control function such as aileron is set to
50%, you can reduce the model’s aileron travel to 50%
by operating the “D-R” switch (= L), and thereby obtain
finer aileron control. The control curve in the graph al-
ters appropriately when you operate the “D-R” switch.
14.6. Parameter: Travel
for controls:
for controls:
Aileron, elevator, rudder
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw
Adjust. range 0% to 100%
One value for each flight phase
F
Can be assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The Travel parameter offers the same facility as Dual
Rates: the sensitivity of a transmitter control can be
modified (reduced). The difference with Travel is that
the effect can vary from one flight phase to another, i.e.
you can set a different value in each flight phase. For
example, in the “NORMAL” flight phase = 100% for
maximum control response; in the “SPEED” flight phase
= 70% for finer control.
Note:
At any one time only one value can be displayed for the
active flight phase. If you wish to change the values for
other flight phases, make sure that you select the ap-
propriate flight phase before you change the setting.
14.7. Parameter: Expo
for controls:
for controls:
Aileron, elevator, rudder
Roll, pitch-axis, yaw
Adjust. range -100% to +100%
F
Can be assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
Expo can be used to modify the effect of the trans-
mitter control in the area around centre. At Expo = 0%
the control’s response is linear. The effect of negative
Expo values is that a command generates small control
surface travels in the area around centre, giving the pi-
lot finer control. This is the most common application
for exponential (Fig. 1).
The effect of positive Expo values is to increase control
surface travels around neutral. The model is “sharper” in
response. Expo does not affect the servo end-points, i.e.
full travel is still available if necessary.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
14.8. Parameter: Fixed values
for controls:
Spoiler, flap
Adjust. range -100%...OFF...+100%
One value for each flight phase
F
Can be assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
With this parameter you can generate fixed control sur-
face travels for each flight phase, which cannot then be
changed by the associated transmitter control. If Fixed
value is set to OFF, the transmitter control operates
the control surface in the normal way.
A typical example is the thermal and speed settings on
a four-flap glider (e.g. F3B). For example, if you activate
the THERMAL flight phase, the ailerons and camber-
changing flaps move to a new neutral position opti-
mised for thermalling (e.g. thermal flap, fixed value = -
30%). If fixed value is set to OFF for the NORMAL flight
phase, the neutral position of the ailerons and flaps is
infinitely variable using the flap control when you select
the Normal flight phase.
Note:
At any one time only one value can be displayed for the
active flight phase. If you wish to change the values for
other flight phases, make sure that you select the ap-
propriate flight phase before you change the setting.
14.9. Parameter: Slow (speed)
for controls:
for controls:
Throttle, spoiler, flap, retracts
Retracts
Adjust. range 0.1 to 4.0 s
F
Can be assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The Slow parameter can be used to alter the time over
which the transmitter control moves the servo from one
end-point to the other. The usual application for this is
to slow down a process which is operated by a switch.
Examples:
Retracts: extend slowly, so that the undercarriage re-
tract sequence looks true to scale.
Spoiler (airbrakes): extend slowly, so that the model
does not carry out any jerky movements when the
brakes are deployed.

Separate curve for each flight phase
F
Curve points can be assigned to a 3D
digi-adjustor (Î 11.2.2.)
The collective pitch curve for model helicopters is set up
in the menu H Control / Coll.P. For each flight
phase a separate collective pitch curve can be set up in
the ROYALevo7, each with six curve points P1...P6, so
that the best possible match of collective pitch control
can be obtained for each flight phase. As an aid to set-
ting up, a vertical dotted line appears in the graph of
the curve showing the current position of the collective
pitch stick.
Example 1: Collective pitch curve, flight phase HOVER
A “flatter” collective pitch curve from hover collective /
stick centre to min. collective / descent is intended to
provide finer control at the hover and at touch-down.
Example 2: Collective pitch curve, flight phase CRUISE
Linear, symmetrical collective pitch curve for constant
collective pitch control in climb and descent modes.
Overall higher max. collective pitch values, as generally
a higher system speed is set (throttle curve), so that
higher rates of climb are possible.
For the first time the ROYALevo includes a 6-point col-
lective pitch curve. The advantage, especially for mod-
ern, high-power 3-D helicopters with a broad collective
pitch range (up to r 10...12q), is the ability to set “pla-
teaux” in the “normal” and “inverted” areas, giving fine
control at the hover.
Example:
Note:
It is only ever possible to display the collective pitch
curve for the active flight phase. If you wish to make
changes to a collective pitch curve, ensure that you first
set the desired flight phase.

F
Curve points P1...P5 can be as-
signed to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The throttle curve for model helicopters is set up in
menu H Control / Throttle. For each flight phase
(F-PH 1-3) a separate 5-point throttle curve can be set, in
order to obtain the best possible matching of motor
power to the collective pitch curve setting for the flight
phase in question. The aim is to achieve a constant sys-
tem rotational speed over the entire range of collective
pitch. The throttle curve can only be fine-tuned accu-
rately when the model is in flight, as it varies according
to many parameters (motor power, motor setting,
power characteristics, collective pitch curve, rotor
blades installed, etc.). If any one parameter is changed,
the throttle curve generally needs to be adjusted anew.
As an aid to setting up, a vertical dotted line appears in
the graph of the curve showing the current position of
the collective pitch stick.
Example 1: Throttle curve, flight phase HOVER
Simple throttle curve for the hover. At negative collective
pitch (= descent) least motor power is required (in our exam-
ple P1 = 35%). At positive collective pitch (= climb) maximum
power is required (in our example P5 = 85%).
Example 2: Throttle curve, flight phase 3D
Symmetrical, V-shaped throttle curve, opens the throt-
tle setting when climbing either upright or inverted.

H
Special case (throttle curve OFF)
Electric helicopter, e.g. with brushless motor and speed
controller in regulator (governor) mode.
In this case there is no need to set up a throttle curve in
the transmitter. The speed controller, when set to regu-
lator mode, provides a constant system rotational
speed. All it requires is a fixed value for the required sys-
tem speed in each flight phase. The throttle curve can
be switched off in the menu Memory / Properties
/ Throttle curve (Î 18.5.4.). P1...P5 then
automatically have the same value (= fixed value), re-
gardless of the point being adjusted.
Throttle curve AUTOROT (auto-rotation)
The fourth flight phase with model helicopters is auto-
rotation (AUTOROT = emergency landing after motor
failure). This always has highest priority of all flight
phases. This means: if you operate the “A-ROT” switch (=
I), the transmitter switches to the auto-rotation flight
phase regardless of the position of the flight phase
switch “F-PH 1-3” (= J). The throttle setting for auto-
rotation is not a curve, but a fixed value. This permits a
fixed throttle setting (e.g. reliable idle with glow motors
/ motor OFF with electric motors). The auto-rotation
flight phase is primarily used for practising auto-
rotation landings.
Points P1 ... P5 cannot be set separately. Changing one
value forces a change to all points. The fixed auto-
rotation throttle value is reduced or increased. Example:
Note:
It is only ever possible to display the throttle curve for
the active flight phase. If you wish to make changes to a
throttle curve, ensure that you first set the desired flight
phase.
14.12. Parameter: Thr. Min.
(idle, throttle limiter)
The parameter Min. determines the idle speed of the
power system when the throttle limiter is set to mini-
mum or idle (Î 13.3.4. Setup / Control / Throttle limit
min). In glow-powered models this is the speed re-
quired for starting the motor and a safe idle (approx.
20%). For electric-powered models this is set to -% =
motor OFF. This parameter takes effect in all flight
phases, and can be adjusted if required using the idle
trim (trim buttons for the collective pitch stick) (Ú).
The horizontal dotted line in the graph shows the posi-
tion of the throttle limiter in all flight phases. The throt-
tle limiter limits the throttle setting, i.e. it never permits
a higher throttle value under any circumstances than is
set for the throttle limiter.
TIP:
To set the idle (Min. parameter) move the throttle lim-
iter to the idle setting. The change in idle Min. can then
be seen directly from the horizontal dotted line for the
throttle limiter.

15. Main menu Mixer G
In the main menu Mixer you can set up all the mixers
required for your model. The Mixer main menu is a
dynamic menu, i.e. in the interests of clarity only those
mixers are shown which are used in the current model.
Fixed-wing models
The mixers V-tail, CombiSwitch and Ail.Diff (ai-
leron differential) are always present.
The following mixers may also appear, depending on
the model template you have selected:
ELEVATR+, V-tail+, DELTA+, AILERON+, FLAP+
For a model based on the ACRO model template the
Mixer main menu may look like this:
Model helicopters
Helicopters always feature the TAIL mixer (static tail
rotor compensation). For helicopters with electronic
swashplate mixing (CCPM) the Rotor head mixer also
appears when the HELIccpm model template is in use.
Fixed-wing models and helicopters
If free mixers are required for additional mixed func-
tions, they may be defined in the Setup / MixerAB
menu for both fixed-wing models and helicopters (Î
13.2.). These free mixers can also be set up in the Mixer
main menu, where they appear as MixerA and Mix-
erB (Fig. 1).

If your model has a V-tail, switch the V-tail mixer ON.
The Mixer main menu now automatically includes the

In the “Servo Assignment List” (Î 16.2.) the servos
Rudder and Elevator or ELEVATR+ are replaced by
V-TAIL+.
If you switch off the V-tail mixer again, the previous
state is restored.
Direction of rotation and travel for the mixer inputs are
adjusted in the V-TAIL+ mixer.

“Following” value can be assigned to

( Î 11.2.2.)
Smooth, constant turns can only be achieved with co-
ordinated use of ailerons and rudder - this applies to
full-size aircraft and models alike. This is not easy, espe-
cially for the inexperienced pilot. The combi-switch
couples the ailerons and rudder, making it simpler to
perform turns when making the transition from simple
rudder-elevator models to the more demanding “full-
house” model aircraft (aileron / elevator / rudder).
If you wish, the CombiSwitch mixer can be switched
on (= 1) or off (= 0) at any time using the switch
“CS/DTC” (<N). The arrow Ð on the screen indicates that
the combi-switch is ON at the “down” position. If the
switch is at the ON position, this is indicated by an aster-
isk () after the arrow.

In the bottom line you can set the “following” value (2%
to 200%). The direction of following is determined by
the prefix to the value. In most cases the rudder “fol-
lows” the aileron (aileron = Master). In this case a posi-
tive prefix (+) needs to be set. If you set a following
value of 100%, full aileron movement produces full rud-
der movement. If you set a value of 200%, full rudder
travel is reached when aileron travel is only half of full.

F
Differential value (Differ.) can be
assigned to a 3D digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2. )
A simplified description of aileron differential:
If aileron travel is the same up and down (symmetrical
movements), the down-going aileron (on the outside of
the turn) generates greater drag than the up-going ai-
leron on the inside of the turn. The result is an un-
wanted moment (adverse yaw) which tends to rotate
the model away from the turn. The model yaws in the
opposite direction to the turn.
Differential aileron travel reduces the adverse yaw by
reducing the travel of the down-going aileron. Note
that differential travel is only possible if separate servos
are used for each aileron. 100% differential is also possi-
ble: in this case only the up-going aileron moves (“split”
mode).
Differential aileron travel is not necessary for high-
speed power models with symmetrical-section wings.
Gliders with heavily cambered wings are the usual can-
didate, and a differential rate of around 50% is generally
a good starting point with such models, although the
optimum value can only be found by flight-testing. The
greater the camber of the wing section, the more differ-
ential is required. For this reason it is possible to set dif-
ferent rates of differential in each flight phase.
Example - glider and flight phases:
NORMAL: Ail.Diff=50%
THERMAL*: Ail.Diff=65%
SPEED**: Ail.Diff=40%
* Ailerons (and camber-changing flaps, if fitted) are de-
flected down slightly for thermal flying
=> greater airfoil camber
=> more aileron differential required
** Ailerons (and camber-changing flaps, if fitted) are de-
flected up slightly for speed flying
=> reduced airfoil camber
=> less aileron differential required
15.3.1. Parameter: Mode
The Mode parameter is used to activate the Ail.Diff
mixer (ON) or switch it off (OFF).
If both ailerons of your model can also be raised to act
as a landing aid, you should choose the SPOILER
mode. This means that differential aileron travel is sup-
pressed when the landing aid is deployed (using the
“spoiler” transmitter control). The effect is that more ai-
leron response is available on the landing approach, as
the aileron travels are not reduced.
15.3.2. Parameter: Diff.
This is where you set the differential value. If the differ-
ential travel is the wrong way round (up-aileron move-
ment reduced), simply reverse the value (“REV/CLR” but-
ton).
Aileron differential can be varied separately for each
flight phase. To set the value, activate the appropriate
flight phase using the flight phase switch “F-PH 1-3” (>J)
(the active flight phase is shown in the top line, and in-
dicated by the number preceding the parameter), and
set the appropriate value for Diff..

The ROYALevo7 offers what we call “…+” mixers for all
fixed-wing model templates. These are specially
matched to suit the model template, and cover all rele-
vant mixer functions.
The following mixers are available:
ELEVATOR+
Mixer for elevator, with compensating
inputs for:
spoilers (airbrakes), flaps, throttle
(motor)
V-TAIL+
Mixer for V-tail, with compensating
inputs for:
spoilers (airbrakes), flaps, throttle
(motor)
DELTA+
Mixer for deltas and flying wings with
compensation for throttle (motor)
AILERON+
Mixer for models with two aileron
servos with the following inputs:
spoilers (ailerons as landing aid), flaps
(ailerons used to alter wing camber),
elevator (to support the elevator
function)
FLAP+
Mixer for camber-changing flap ser-
vos on four-flap glider wings, with the
following inputs:
spoilers (flaps as landing aid), flaps
(flaps used to alter wing camber), ele-
vator (to support the elevator func-
tion)
Which “…+” mixers are available in the various model
templates, and how each mixer works in detail, is de-
scribed in detail in the Model Template sections (Î 20.).
The Mixer main menu is a dynamic menu, i.e. only
those mixers are displayed which are actually used on
the model in question.
15.4.1. How the “...+” mixers work
The “…+” mixers work in the same way as the freely de-
finable 5-way mixers of the ROYALevo 9 / 12. The basic
principle is the proven one adopted in the MULTIPLEX
PROFI mc 3000 and 4000 series of radio control systems.
It can easily be described in the following way:
Always start from the “control functions”, or the move-
ments of a servo. Example: aileron servo in a model
glider (example AILERON+ mixer):
Under which circumstances should this servo (or these
servos) move?
1. When the “aileron” control is operated (primary
function)
2. When the “spoiler” control is operated
(large up-movement of ailerons as landing aid)
3. When the “flap” control is operated
(slight up / down aileron travel to alter the wing
camber for thermal and speed flying)
4. When the “elevator” control is operated
(up/down aileron travel to support elevator re-
sponse in aerobatics snap-flaps)
From this it is clear that the aileron servos are actually
controlled by four transmitter controls. The AILERON+
mixer therefore has four inputs (up to 5 inputs are pos-
sible):
The mixer adds together the values / signals of the indi-
vidual inputs (thus the sum symbol £) and passes on
the result to the aileron servos (AILERON+).

TIP:
For MULTIPLEX PROFI mc 3000 / 4000 connoisseurs:
On the ROYALevo7 the mixer inputs are set at the
mixer, rather than at the servos.
Advantage:
The mixer inputs are set up at one point in the Mixer
menu, rather than at several (servos). The set-up process
is therefore simpler and less time-consuming. This
change also makes it simple to assign the input value to
a 3D digi-adjustor for convenient in-flight adjustment.
This does make it important to calibrate the servos care-
fully (Î 16.1.), otherwise it is not guaranteed that a
model, for example with ailerons deflected up for the
landing, will fly straight on the approach, because the
travel of the ailerons may not be identical.
15.4.2. How to set up “...+” mixers

menu only the displayed values can be altered.
Select the input to be changed. Press ENTER to move to
the first mixer value, which can then be altered. Pressing
ENTER again takes you to the second mixer value. Press-

15.5.1. Free mixer MixerA
This mixer mixes one control function (transmitter con-
trol) into one or more servos carrying out the same task.
The zero point of many control functions (transmitter
controls) is in the centre; in the case of others it is at one
end of the transmitter control’s travel. We have taken
this into account with this mixer. For aileron/roll, eleva-
tor/pitch axis, rudder/yaw, AUX1, AUX2 and collective
pitch the mixer’s zero point lies at the centre of the
transmitter control. With the other control functions it is
at one end-point. You should select this mixer when
you need to mix transmitter controls whose neutral
point is not in the centre, e.g. throttle, spoiler, retracts, ...
Travel parameter
At this point you enter the magnitude and direction of
effect of the mixer (in our example: mixed elevator as
compensation when landing gear is extended).
If the neutral position of the mixed transmitter control is
at one of the two end-points, the mixing only occurs in
one direction, starting from the servo’s centre setting.
If the neutral position of the transmitter control is in the
centre, mixing occurs in both directions.
15.5.2. Free mixer
MixerB
This mixer mixes one control function (transmitter con-
trol) into one or more servos carrying out the same task.
There are two travel settings: one for each side of the
transmitter control.
Example: snap-flaps (elevator Æ aileron)
Travel+ , Travel- parameters
At this point you adjust the travels and direction of ef-
fect of the transmitter control to suit the servo travel. In
our example Elevator --> aileron Travel+ produces an
aileron servo movement of 20% when you apply up-
elevator stick (stick back), and 30% when you apply
down-elevator (stick forward).
Both mixers can be switched off using one switch (Mix1
= I, Mix2 = G, Mix3 = L), provided that you assigned a
mixer switch when defining the mixer. In our example
“snap-flaps” this is the mixer switch Mix2 (G>). The ar-
row
Ð indicates the switch position at which the mixer is
s w i t ch e d o ff . I f a n a st e r i sk appears, the switch is at its
ON position, and the mixer is active.
15.6. Mixer: Gyro
for fixed-wing models and helicopters
The gyro mixer of the ROYALevo7 can be used both
for fixed-wing model aircraft and helicopters, provided
that the gyro you are using features an input for remote
gain adjustment (by radio). The
gyro mixer provides
the optimum gain setting to suit each flight situation.
The main menu
Mixer is a dynamic menu, i.e. in the
interests of clarity mixers which are not required for the
current model are not displayed on-screen. If the
gyro
mixer is to appear in the
Mixer main menu, the gyro
function must be assigned to one servo channel in the
menu
Servo / Assignment ( Î 16.2.).
The design of the gyro mixer of the ROYALevo is entirely
new. It permits optimum stabilisation of one model axis
both with simple gyros and modern heading-hold gyro
systems, regardless of gyro type and installation. To
achieve this the gyro mixer of the ROYALevo7 offers
several different operating modes. We recommend that
you start with the
Control mode, as this gives you a
good chance to become familiar with the basic func-
tions (Î 15.6.1.).
The following table shows the basic types together with
the properties of standard commercial gyro systems.

The gyro damps the rota-

15.6.1. Parameter: Mode
The ROYALevo7 offers 3 different gyro modes:
Control mode
Application:
Normal or heading-hold gyro, featuring gyro gain ad-
justment via a separate control channel. This is the sim-
plest gyro mode.
You can adjust gyro gain manually using the “gyro”
transmitter control (slider E), regardless of the position
of the flight phase switch.
Damping mode
Application:
Standard gyro, featuring gyro gain adjustment via a
separate control channel.
The gain of the gyro is adjusted using the
Damping pa-
rameter. For each flight phase you can set a separate %
value for gyro gain. In this way the gyro can be set up
accurately to suit any flight task or flight phase.
Heading mode
Application:
Modern heading-hold gyro, featuring gyro gain adjust-
ment via a separate control channel.
The gain and mode of operation (damping / heading
hold) of the gyro are adjusted using the
Damping /
Heading
parameter. The gyro gain and mode of opera-
tion can be set separately for each flight phase. In this
way the gyro can be set up accurately to suit any flight
phase.
15.6.2. Parameter:
Heading / Damping
(gyro gain)
In
Control gyro mode:
Gyro gain can only be set manually using the “gyro”
transmitter control
(Î 15.6.1.).
Note: % values for gyro gain entered under
Damping or
Heading have no effect in Control mode.
In
Damping gyro mode:
Adjust. range
OFF (= gyro OFF)
... + 100% (= max. gain)
Separate values can be set for each
flight phase
F
Value can be assigned to a 3D digi-
adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The set value for the Damping parameter (gyro gain)
can be entered separately for each flight phase. The
gyro transmitter control has no influence on the set
values.
In
Heading gyro mode:
Adjust. range
1% ... +100%
The gyro operates in damping
mode
-1% ... -100%
The gyro works in heading mode
Separate values can be set for each
flight phase
F
The value can be assigned to a 3D
digi-adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
If you set a gain value in the range 0 ... –100% ( Head-
ing
mode), the yaw trim is switched off. Trim changes
affect a separate heading yaw trim memory. This trim
value is applied in all flight phases which work in
Head-
ing
mode, allowing you to carry out minor corrections
(compensating for temperature drift). This trim is dis-
played in status display 1 - 3.
In Damping mode the
Trim parameter (Î 14.1.2.) con-
tinues to display the trim according to flight phase.
At the same time the static tail rotor compensation
mixer
Tail ( Î 15.7.) is switched off.
! Note
If you are using a heading-hold gyro system in Heading
mode, you must check before flying the model that the
gyro is working with the gain you have selected and is
set to the appropriate mode of operation:
1. Activate a flight phase in which gyro gain is set
within the range 0 ... -100% (
Heading).
2. Move the yaw / tail rotor stick to either end-point,
then back to the neutral position (centre).
If the yaw / tail rotor servo immediately moves back to
its starting position, the gyro is operating in damping
mode:
in this case the direction of rotation of the
Gyro
channel must be reversed! (Î 16.1.)
15.6.3. Parameter: Suppression
Adjust. range
OFF (= no suppression)
... 200% (= max. suppression)
Many gyros reduce their gain automatically when a tail
rotor command is given; without this suppression the
gyro would damp out deliberate control commands. If
you are using a gyro without its own automatic sup-
pression, you should activate this function (but please
read the notes in the operating instructions supplied
with your gyro!).
In model helicopters the suppression is applied when
the pilot operates the “yaw” (tail rotor) stick; with fixed-
wing models the suppression is applied when the pilot
moves the “aileron” stick.
ROYAL evo 7
Page 42
If you set Suppression = 100%, gyro gain is reduced
to zero (= gyro OFF) at full travel of the “yaw” or “ai-
leron” stick.
If you set
Suppression = 200%, gyro gain is reduced
t o z e r o ( = g y r o O F F ) a t h a l f o f f u l l s t i c k t r a v e l .
If you set
Suppression = 50%, gyro gain remains at
50% of the set value at full stick travel.
Gyro suppression works at the same value in all the gyro
modes
Control, Damping and Heading, regardless of
flight phase.
Exception:
If you set gyro gain to a value in the range -1% ... -100%
(=
Heading), gyro gain is not reduced or suppressed.
15.7. Mixer: TAIL
for model helicopters only
The TAIL mixer of the ROYALevo is our term for “static
tail rotor compensation”, also sometimes known as
REVO-MIX (revolution mixer). The
TAIL mixer always
appears automatically in the
Mixer main menu if you
set up a model based on the model templates
HELImech or HELIccpm.
When a hovering helicopter is set to climb or descend,
the torque for which the tail rotor has to compensate is
increased or decreased. The model then yaws in the ap-
propriate direction. When correctly set up, the
TAIL
mixer compensates for torque fluctuations, prevents
the model rotating on its vertical axis, and reduces the
workload of the gyro, with the result that high gyro gain
values can be set, resulting in very good tail rotor stabi-
lisation. Four parameters are required for this:
Coll.pitch+, Coll.pitch-, Offset, Zero point
! Notes
All adjustments relating to the rotor head (including the
collective pitch curve) must be completed before you
set up the
TAIL mixer. Before you carry out fine ad-
justments in flight, the throttle curve must be set up ac-
curately. If you subsequently change the throttle curve,
it will usually be necessary to adjust the
TAIL mixer too.
If you are using a heading-hold gyro in Heading mode,
the
TAIL mixer must not be used, or must be switched
off! Please read the notes on this subject in the section
describing the
GYRO mixer (Î 15.6.)
15.7.1. Parameters:
Coll.+ and Coll.-
Adjust. range
-100% ... +100% in each case
Separate values can be set for each
flight phase
F
Values can be assigned to a 3D digi-
adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The parameters Coll.+ / Coll.- are used to set the
mixing ratios of collective pitch Æ tail rotor for climb
and descent, separately for each flight phase:
Coll.+ Æ correct climb
Coll.- Æ correct descent
The exact values can only be set during a test-flying
programme, as they are affected by many parameters.
15.7.2. Parameter:
Yaw diff.
Adjust. range
-100% ... OFF ... +100%
Separate values can be set for each
flight phase
F
Values can be assigned to a 3D digi-
adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
The purpose of the Yaw diff. parameter is to reduce
the tail rotor travel to one side of centre. This is neces-
sary if the model responds differently when a tail rotor
command is applied to left and right (unequal rotational
speed). Since the tail rotor has to counteract the torque
generated by the main rotor, “yaw” (tail rotor) usually
gives a softer response in one direction than the other.
Separate values can be set for each flight phase.
15.7.3. Parameter:
Offset
Adjust. range
-100% ... OFF ... +100%
A separate Offset value can be set for
each flight phase
F
Values can be assigned to a 3D digi-
adjustor
(Î 11.2.2.)
A slight deflection of the tail rotor (= Offset) is re-
quired in order to compensate for torque at 0° collective
pitch (main rotor). A different value can be set for each
flight phase. This is necessary if a different system rota-
tional speed is used for each flight phase.
In the
AUTOROT flight phase (auto-rotation, switch "A-
ROT") the
Offset can be changed so that the tail rotor
pitch is reduced to nothing. This is important with
model helicopters which feature a driven tail rotor.
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions

H
15.7.4. Parameter: Zero point and
Collective Pitch display
Adjust. range
-100% ... 0 ... +100%
Under Zero point you can set the starting point for
the static tail rotor compensation mixer. From this col-
lective pitch angle in the direction of “climb” the collec-
tive pitch Æ tail rotor mixer is active using the value set
under
Coll.+. In the opposite direction (descent) the
mixer works with the value set under
Coll.- (Î
15.7.1.).
Procedure:
1. Move the collective pitch stick to the 0° pitch posi-
tion, using a rotor blade pitch gauge if possible.
Note that you must have set up the collective pitch
curve previously.
2. The value for
Coll. (last line) cannot be altered; it
just shows the current collective pitch stick posi-
tion, and is designed to help you when entering
this setting. Set this value in the parameter
Zero
Point
.
15.8. Mixer: Rotor head
(electronic swashplate mixer / CCPM)
for model helicopters only
The ROYALevo7 features a universal swashplate mixer
(CCPM) which caters for all swashplate types with three
linkage points / servos.
Two parameters are required to set up the mixer:
Geometry, Rotation
Note:
The main menu
Mixer is a dynamic menu; it only dis-
plays those mixers which are used in the current model.
The
Rotor head mixer only appears if you have in-
voked the model template
HELIccpm.
To ensure that the swashplate moves exactly as you
wish it to, the swashplate servos must be connected to
the receiver in the correct sequence. The channel as-
signment varies according to the servo configuration
Servo Config. you have chosen (Î 18.6.). You can
view this at any time in the Servo / Assignment menu
(Î 16.2.):

it.
Note
The angle must be entered with a negative prefix “ - “ if

TIP:
When you have entered the mechanical values relating
to the swashplate as parameters for the
Rotor head
mixer, the next step is to carry out a careful calibration
of the rotor head servos in Menu K
Servo / Cali-
brate
( Î 16.1.2.). This is the only method of ensuring
accurate swashplate control. The direction of rotation of
the servos can be checked by applying collective pitch
commands. If any servo rotates in the wrong direction,
that servo must be reversed (
REV.). For the servo cali-
bration process you may find it helpful to disconnect
the pushrods between swashplate and rotor head, so
that you can set up the maximum travels (P1, P5).
The control travel settings for roll, pitch-axis and collec-
tive pitch can now be entered in Menu H
Control
(Î 14.1.6. und 14.1.10.).
TIP: Helicopter with Heim mechanics
If you wish to fly a helicopter with HEIM mechanics,
please use this procedure:
1. Select
HELIccpm as template for the new model
2. Assign a vacant servo channel to
Pitch-axis
3. In the
Rotor head mixer set the geometry to 90°.
This ensures that the servos
HEAD le and
HEAD ri are controlled only by the transmitter
controls for roll and collective pitch
4. The servo
Head f/r is not required. This channel
should be left vacant at the receiver.
16. Main menu Servo K
What can be done in the main menu
Servo?
Calibrate
Here you can alter the direction of rotation of the ser-
vos, set the servo centre, end-points and limits.
Assignment
This menu shows you the sequence of channels and
servo outputs. Some channels can be assigned a differ-
ent control function. The servo signal format and num-
ber of calibration points can be altered for all servos.
Monitor
This menu displays the travels of all servos by means of
bar graphs and - optionally - a numerical display show-
ing % values.
Test run
You can simulate the movement of a transmitter con-
trol. The associated servos then run constantly from one
end-point to the other, at variable speed. This function
is very helpful for range-checking.
16.1. Sub-menu Calibrate
The sub-menu
Calibrate lists all channels 1 - 7 with
their names. When you select a channel / servo, the fol-
lowing display appears (example: SERVO 1 / aileron):
In this menu you can change the following:
- the direction of servo rotation
REV.
- the servo centre
P3
- the servo end-points
P1 and P5
- and - if necessary - the intermediate servo travel
points:
P2 and P4
All changes to the parameters REV. and the servo cali-
bration points
P1 ... P5 are immediately reflected in the
graph, providing a clear, easily understood means of
checking the settings.
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions

Display structure
Line 1 always displays the name of the selected servo (in
our example the
Aileron servo). Above the graph the
channel number of the selected servo is shown (exam-
ple:
SERVO: 1).
The numbers
1 ... 5 below the graph (X-axis) correspond
to the servo calibration points
P1 ... P5.
16.1.1. Parameter:
REV. (servo reverse)
To reverse the direction of servo rotation simply select
the
REV. parameter and press the ENTER button or
one of the two 3D digi-adjustors. The cursor changes
to the value
rev (servo rotation reversed) or nor.
(normal servo rotation). To reverse the servo’s direction
of rotation simply press the REV/CLR button:
the curve is “reversed”;
the value changes from
rev nor.
16.1.2. Parameter:
P1 … P5
You can carry out several tasks by adjusting the servo
calibration points
P1 … P5.
In detail these are:
x setting the maximum working range of the servo. The
values
P1 and P5 set here (servo end-points) are
never exceeded (limit values). This serves to protect
the servos from mechanical stalling at either end-
point / maximum travel;
x setting symmetrical control surface travels;
x matching the travels of multiple servos to each other
(e.g. two aileron or two elevator servos), so that the
control surfaces work exactly in parallel;
x compensating for mechanical discrepancies in the
control surface linkage. Using the intermediate points
P2 and P4, for example, it is possible to match the
travel of two control surfaces accurately between
servo centre and servo end-point;
x setting deliberately non-linear servo travel (= curve),
e.g. for the throttle servo in power models, in order to
obtain a linear speed change over the full range of
throttle control (throttle curve).
This is the procedure for calibrating a servo:
1. Servos which are operated directly by transmit-
ter controls e.g.
Aileron, Elevator, Rud-
der, Throttle, L.gear
, ...
Check first that the direction of rotation of the servo
matches the movement of the transmitter control.
If necessary, reverse the direction using the
REV.
para-meter (Î 16.1.1.).
Important: if you subsequently reverse the direc-
tion of servo rotation, it will be necessary to repeat
the calibration process.
2. Servos which are controlled by mixers
e.g.
AILERON+, DELTA+, V-TAIL+, ...
With these servos the direction of servo rotation is
initially irrelevant, as the correct direction for the
control surface movement will be set later during
the mixer set-up process.
Exception: the following servos in model helicop-
ters:
HEADle, HEADri, HEADf/r, TAIL, ...
3. Select one of the calibration points
P1 … P5 and
activate the % value using the ENTER button, or by
pressing one of the 3D digi-adjustors. Now press
the digi-adjustor assign button <
F
>.
Regardless of the position of the associated trans-
mitter control, or any control and mixer settings,
the servo now automatically adopts the position
corresponding to the percentage figure at the se-
lected calibration point. With one hand you can
now measure and check the control surface travel
easily and conveniently (ruler, venire calliper), while
the other hand remains free, so that you can alter
the value using the UP / DOWN buttons ( / ) or
one of the two 3D digi-adjustors.
Multiple servos (e.g. all
Aileron, all DELTA+, all
HEAD servos, ...) automatically adopt the same posi-
tion; these should run in the same direction as the
selected servo after you press the digi-adjustor as-
sign button <
F
>. If this is not the case, the direc-
tion of servo rotation must first be reversed using
REV. ( Î 16.1.1.).
When the travel is correct, press the digi-adjustor
assign button < F > once more. The servo now
takes up the position corresponding to the associ-
ated transmitter control.
Press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors to conclude the set-up process for the se-
lected point.
The number of variable servo calibration points (min.
two, max. five points) varies according to the setting
you selected when you assigned the servo (Î 16.2.).
! Note:
The servo calibration facility should only be used for
fine-tuning the system. We strongly recommend that
you start by carefully adjusting the mechanical system.
You should never reduce the servo end-points
P1 and
P5 by more than about 10 … 20%, otherwise you forfeit
a proportion of the servo’s full power, servo accuracy is
reduced, and the effect of servo gearbox play is exag-
gerated. It is equally important that you should not
change the servo centre setting by more than about 10
… 20%, otherwise the servo will exhibit non-linear run-
ning characteristics in both directions.
TIP: Vertical reference line
The dotted vertical line in the graph is simply a guide,
indicating the current position of the associated trans-
mitter control. If you have activated a value using the
digi-adjustor assign button < F >, the vertical line
jumps to the corresponding point and remains there
until you press the assign button again, or move the as-
sociated transmitter control.

16.2. Sub-menu: Assignment
This menu shows you the channel and servo output se-
quence for all channels 1 - 7. The servos must be con-
nected to the receiver in the model in the sequence
shown in this menu. The servo sequence varies accord-
ing to the selected model template and the selected
servo configuration (MULTIPLEX, HiTEC, Futaba, JR)
(Î 18.6.3.). You can assign a different or particular con-
trol function to certain channels (= partially free servo
assignment).
You can also switch each servo from UNI to MPX servo
signal format. At the same time you can select the
number of calibration points for each servo at this point.

Last servo on channel 6 PPM 6
Last servo on channel 7 PPM 7
Problems may occur with PPM 6 and certain older types
of speed controller, in which case it may help to assign
any function to channel 7. This forces PPM 7 operation;
you do not need to connect a servo to the output.
16.3. Sub-menu: Monitor
The Servo Monitor is a substitute for a receiving system
and servos, enabling you to check the function and op-
eration of servos, speed controllers and - especially -
gyro systems (for which an external effect is not easy to
detect), and seek and eliminate faults.
Call up the menu, then press the ENTER button or a 3D
digi-adjustor; the Servo Monitor then appears.
Two display variants are available:
x graphic, with bar-form display of output signals
(Fig. 1), and
x numerical, with display of % values (Fig. 2).
You can switch between the two displays using the UP /
DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
Press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-adjustors
to close the Servo Monitor.
16.4. Sub-menu: Test run
Automatic servo run, designed for test and demonstra-
tion purposes or as an “electronic aid” for range-
checking.
As soon as you select a transmitter control, the transmit-
ter generates a constant control signal with variable
transit time, i.e. from one end-point of the control to the
other. All servos which are operated by this transmitter
control, either directly or via a mixer, start running.
You can interrupt the test run by either of two methods:
x Press the REV/CLR button “ Control
“ appears
x Select no transmitter control (“ - - - - - - - “)
The transit time can be set to any value in the range 0.1
– 4.0 seconds.
17.Main Menu Timer A
The ROYALevo7 features a stopwatch with alarm func-
tion which can be used for various timing tasks. The
stopwatch counts up to 4½ hours with a resolution of
one second.
Line 1:
Time
This is the time which has elapsed since the timer
started. If you select this field, you can erase the time
using the REV/CLR button.
The stopwatch can also be reset by pressing the
REV/CLR button when you are in one of the status dis-
plays 1 - 3.
Line 2:
Alarm
This is where you set the alarm time. For example, if the
motor run of an electric-powered model is four minutes,
you should set
0:04:00 at this point. The timer adds
together the motor run time based on the throttle set-
ting, and emits a warning sound once the set alarm time
has elapsed.
The method of entering the alarm time differs from the
usual procedure: here the value is entered digit by digit:
press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-adjustors.
The cursor jumps to the hours, which can then be set
using the UP / DOWN buttons or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors. Every time you press ENTER again, the cursor
moves one place to the right etc.
ROYAL evo 7
Page 48
The timer can be used in two different modes:
1. Set the alarm to 0:00:00
The timer starts at zero, runs upward, counts the
time cumulatively, and is stopped and re-started by
the switch assigned to it. There is no alarm when
the timer is used in this way.
2. Set the alarm to a time other than 0:00:00
The timer starts at the set alarm time, runs down-
ward and triggers an alarm when the selected time
has elapsed.
Alarm pattern:
x at the end of each full minute:
short double beep (ÈÈ)
x from 5 seconds before the set alarm time:
short double beep at one-second intervals (ÈÈ)
x when the alarm time is reached
long double beep (È --- È ---)
Line 3:
Difference (display only)
Here the screen displays the time which is also shown in
status display 2. It is the difference between the time
and the alarm. The arrow preceding the difference indi-
cates the direction of running of the timer:
' running upward
# running downward
The difference runs downward until the alarm time is
reached, and upward if the alarm time is reached or ex-
ceeded. The preceding arrow indicates upward or
downward.
Line 4:
Switch
At this point you can select the transmitter control
which you wish to use to start and stop the timer. You
can select any control apart from the aileron, rudder
and elevator sticks.
Press the ENTER button or a 3D digi-adjustor to open
the input field. The following display then appears:
The transmitter control which you now select to operate
the timer will operate the timer in all models which use
the same assignment (Î 18.6.).
If you now press the ENTER button to confirm your ac-
tion, you can assign the desired transmitter control as
the “Timer Switch” simply by operating it. We call this
process QUICK SELECT.
Leave the transmitter control at the end-point at which
the timer is to run. Close the input field by pressing the
ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-adjustors.
Special case: “H / THR-CUT” and “M / TEACHER“ but-
tons:
There are two modes of operation involving the “H” and
“M” buttons. The mode is activated according to the
method which you use to leave the “Switch” field when
assigning the timer switch:
1. Toggle “
…“:
Press button = timer runs
Press button again = timer stops
2. Latch “
„“:
Button pressed = timer runs
Button not pressed = timer stops
The switch you have selected to control the timer (in
our example: F) and the position of the ON state (in our
example:
' = forward) are displayed in line 4. If the
switch is at the “Timer ON position”, an asterisk
'* ap-
pears after the arrow. The control for the switch is also
shown in status display 2 after the timer time:

18. Main Menu Memory I
The ROYALevo7 has 15 model memories, numbered se-
quentially. You can assign a name up to 16 characters
long to each model memory.
The model data is stored in non-volatile memory, and
therefore cannot be lost even if you disconnect the
transmitter battery from the transmitter.
In addition to memory management (switching, copy-
ing, erasing), you can also set up new models (Î 18.6.)
and manage flight phases (Î18.4.) in this menu.
18.1. Sub-menu: Select model
(switch memories)
When you move to the Select model menu, you will
see a list of all 15 model memories:
The active model memory is marked
x.
Empty model memories have no model name:
“
--------“.
It is possible to select an empty memory, but not acti-
vate it.
To switch models, select the appropriate memory using
the UP / DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D
digi-adjustors, then press the ENTER button or one of
the 3D digi-adjustors. The screen then switches to the
last used status display. The transmitter is immediately
ready for use, and the model can be flown.
18.2. Sub-menu: Copy
Making a copy of one model memory can be a useful
time-saver if, for example, you wish to set up a new
model which is similar to one you already own, or if you
want to make experimental changes to the settings of a
model without losing the existing settings. The copy
process copies all the settings for the transmitter con-
trols, mixers, servos, timers, model name and trims.
There are four steps to copying a model memory:
1. Select the model
Select the model which is to be copied using the UP
/ DOWN buttons ( / ), or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
2. Confirm your selection
Press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors.
The letter “c” (= copy) now appears after the
model name (Fig. 1).
3. Define the destination
Select a target memory for the copy using the UP /
DOWN buttons ( / ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors. The model name of the model to be cop-
ied and the “c” go with you on the search (Fig. 2).
4. Confirm the destination
Press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
x If the destination memory is empty, the copy is cre-
ated immediately.
x If the destination memory is already occupied, the
security query appears: “Overwrite existing model?”.
x At this point you can interrupt the copy process by
pressing the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors.
x If you wish to overwrite the existing model, press
the REV/CLR button.
After the copy process the previously active model is
called up again.
18.3. Sub-menu: Erase
If you wish to erase a model memory, first select the
memory, then press the ENTER button or one of the 3D
digi-adjustors. A security query now appears:
x If you wish to erase it,
press the REV/CLR button to confirm your action;
x If you do not wish to erase it,
press the ENTER button or a 3D digi-adjustor.
Erasing is not possible if you have selected the mem-
ory marked
x, as this memory is currently active.
ROYAL evo 7
Page 50
18.4. Sub-menu: Flight phases
Flight phases are groups of settings (data) which can be
called up for a particular model by operating a switch.
The settings can be optimised for different flight tasks.
For each flight phase you can adjust the transmitter
control settings individually to suit the requirements of
the model (e.g. reduced travels for SPEED, extended
flaps for LANDING, different collective pitch and throttle
curves for model helicopters, …). All the settings which
can be modified for the various flight phases are as-
signed the code numbers 1 … 3 or 4 associated with the
flight phase (Î 14.). The ROYALevo7 also features flight
phase specific digital trims (Î 12.), i.e. the trims can be
set separately for each flight phase, and the settings are
stored permanently. This simply means that the model
is always perfectly trimmed in each flight phase.
For fixed-wing model aircraft we have provided three
flight phases. Flight phases 1 … 3 are selected using
switch J: “F-PH 1-3”.
For model helicopters an additional fourth flight phase
is provided for auto-rotation. This is selected using
switch I “A-ROT”, and always has highest priority. This
means: the auto-rotation flight phase
AUTOROT is al-
ways activated when switch I “A-ROT” is operated, re-
gardless of the flight phase 1 …3 currently selected us-
ing switch J “F-PH 1-3”.
The transition between flight phases is “soft” (it takes
about one second), in order to avoid sudden servo
movements when the change-over is made. The excep-
tion to this rule is the auto-rotation flight phase with
model helicopters. If you operate switch I “A-ROT”, the
transition to the
AUTOROT flight phase occurs immedi-
ately.
The Flight phase menu for a fixed-wing model may look
like Fig. 1; for a helicopter like Fig. 2:
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Fig. 1 contains the following information:
x The first column shows the number of the flight
phase, followed by the name of the flight phase
x Flight phases 1 and 3 are blocked
(names crossed out)
x Flight phase 2
NORMAL is currently active
(
x after the name)
x The flight phase switch is
J> on the right-hand side.
The same applies to the four helicopter flight phases
shown in Fig. 2.
18.4.1. Selecting names for flight phases
The following flight phase names are available:
NORMAL, START1, START2, THERMAL1, THERMAL2,
SPEED1, SPEED2, CRUISE, LANDING, HOVER, 3D, ACRO
The name serves only as information to the user. The
number of the flight phase is crucial to its properties, i.e.
flight phases of the same name do not necessarily share
the same settings or characteristics.
This is the procedure for changing a flight phase
name:
Use the UP / DOWN buttons (▲ / ▼ ) or one of the two
3D digi-adjustors to select a flight phase, and confirm
your action by pressing the ENTER button or one of the
3D digi-adjustors the cursor jumps to the name input
field.
You can now select a suitable name using the UP /
DOWN buttons (▲ / ▼ ) or one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
Press the ENTER button or a 3D digi-adjustor to con-
clude the procedure. Note: this requires a double press
if you have changed the name of the currently active
flight phase.
Exception
The name for flight phase 4 for helicopters is
AUTOROT,
and this cannot be changed.
18.4.2. Blocking / releasing flight phases
You can release or block any flight phase using the
REV/CLR button. By blocking a flight phase you can
eliminate the danger of launching a model after acci-
dentally selecting a flight phase which does not contain
the correct settings.
If you select a blocked flight phase using one of the
flight phase switches J (“F-PH 1-3”) or I (“A-ROT”), you
will hear a continuous warning sound. The last used
flight phase remains active, and its number is shown in
status display 2. The name of the blocked flight phase
which you have selected is shown crossed out.
This is the procedure for blocking / releasing flight
phases:
Select a flight phase, then press the ENTER button or
one of the 3D digi-adjustors to confirm your action
the cursor jumps to the flight phase name. You can now
switch between “free” and “blocked
” using the REV/CLR
button.
Selecting another name using the 3D digi-adjustor also
releases a blocked flight phase.
Note:
The currently active flight phase (marked with
x) cannot
be blocked.
18.4.3. Copying flight phases
We recommend the following procedure if you wish to
make a start using different flight phases:
Begin with just one flight phase, leaving the other flight
phases blocked. Your model should now be test-flown
and all settings carefully optimised. The flight phase can
now be copied. When you switch to the new flight
phase(s) you can be confident that the model will be-
have in the usual manner. All you have to do now is
make the desired modifications to the copies.
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions
Page 51
ENGLIS
H
The active flight phase is marked x. Only the active
flight phase can be copied. The following steps are nec-
essary:
1. Select the active phase (
x ) using the UP / DOWN
buttons (▲ / ▼ ), or use one of the two 3D digi-
adjustors.
2. Press the 3D digi-adjustor (or ENTER) twice;
the cursor jumps to the “
x “.
3. Select the destination phase for the copy using the
UP / DOWN buttons (▲ / ▼ ) or one of the two 3D
digi-adjustors;
the “
x “ changes to a “ c “ = copy.
5. Press the ENTER button or one of the 3D digi-
adjustors to conclude the copy process.
18.5. Sub-menu: Properties
The Properties sub-menu is a dynamic menu. The dis-
play may look as shown below, depending on the
model type (fixed-wing or helicopter) of the active
memory:
18.5.1. Parameter:
Template
Fixed-wing models and helicopters
L
Information field; cannot be changed
This parameter indicates which model template was
used to set up the current model (Î 18.6.2.). The field is
only for the user’s information, and cannot be changed.
18.5.2. Parameter:
Mode
Fixed-wing models and helicopters
I
Parameter affects the active model
only
Adjust. range Mode 1 ... Mode 4
The mode (stick mode) parameter is used to define
which stick controls which function in the model. The
mode can be changed at any time either here or in the
Setup / Control menu (Î 13.3.1.).
18.5.3. Parameter:
Assignment
Fixed-wing models and helicopters
L
Information field; cannot be changed
This parameter shows the assignment (which transmit-
ter control operates which function) with which the cur-
rent model was set up. The field only provides informa-
tion to the user, and cannot be changed.
18.5.4. Parameter:
Throttle curve
Model helicopters only
I
The parameter affects the active
model only
Adjust. range ON, OFF
Here you can determine whether your current model
helicopter requires a throttle curve to control the throt-
tle function, or whether fixed values are to be used (e.g.
electric helicopters with brushless motor in “regulator”
mode) (Î 14.1.11.).
18.5.5. Parameter:
Shift
, US/ES
For
US/ES language set only, with
fixed-wing models and helicopters
I
Parameter affects the active model
only
The menu point “Shift Switch” only appears if you are
using the
US/ES language set. When other makes of
receiver are used it is sometimes necessary to adjust
Shift to suit the receiver:
+ = Positive shift
- = Negative shift
! Note:
If you intend using the system with components made
by a variety of manufacturers, please note that careful
testing is essential. It is not possible for MULTIPLEX
Modellsport GmbH to guarantee that its systems will
function perfectly with products made by other com-
panies.
18.5.6. Parameter:
Name
Fixed-wing models and helicopters
I
Parameter affects the active model
only
This is where you can enter a name for your model; the
name can be up to 16 characters long. When you set up
a new model, it is initially assigned the name of the
model template you have used. The text for the name is
entered using the keypad; the procedure is described in
Section 11.1.3.
ROYAL evo 7
Page 52
18.6. Sub-menu: New Model
New models are set up using the New Model sub-
menu.
When you open the sub-menu, the following display
appears:
You must work through all the menu points
Template,
Servo Config. and Mode to set up a new model, and
then confirm your action with
OK.
18.6.1. Parameter:
Memory No.
L
Information field; cannot be changed
The Memory number for the model you are about to
set up is dictated by the transmitter; it is always the first
free memory. The
Memory No. cannot be changed. If
you wish to store the new model in a different memory,
you can subsequently copy the new model to another
memory (Î 18.2.).
Note:
If there is no vacant memory, the screen displays the
number
-1 and the warning: Attention! No free
memory!
. If this should happen, press EXIT to leave
the menu. You cannot set up another model unless you
first erase a model which you no longer need (Î 18.3.).
18.6.2. Parameter:
Template
In this menu point you inform the transmitter what type
of model you wish to set up. First you have to differen-
tiate between a helicopter and fixed-wing model. There
are several model templates in each basic type:
Model templates for fixed-wing models
BASIC 1
For simple model aircraft with up to
one aileron servo, also other models
BASIC 2
For model aircraft with two aileron
servos
ACRO
For powered aerobatic models and
hot-line electric models
DELTA
For deltas and flying wings
GLIDER
For gliders and electric gliders with
two aileron servos
4 FLAPS
For gliders and electric gliders with
four-flap wings
Model templates for helicopters
HELImech
For model helicopters with mechani-
cal swashplate mixers
HELIccpm
For model helicopters with electronic
swashplate mixers (CCPM)
The advantage of using model templates for setting up
a new model is that many of the basic settings are
automatically defined correctly, leaving you just to carry
out final adjustments. The template determines which
mixers can be used for the selected model type, and
which control assignment is used (“which transmitter
control operates which function?”), which channels the
servos are connected to, and so on. A full description of
the model templates will be found in Section 20.
18.6.3. Parameter:
Servo Config.
The servos must be connected to the receiver in a par-
ticular sequence defined by the model template you
have selected. Every radio control system manufacturer
has its own standard in terms of servo sequence at the
receiver output sockets. The
Servo Config. menu of
the ROYALevo7 allows you to select the sequence of ser-
vos at the receiver:
MPX
MULTIPLEX standard
HITEC
HiTEC standard
FUTABA
FUTABA standard
JR
JR standard
For a full description of the servo sequence please refer
to the description of the model templates (Î 20.).
18.6.4. Parameter:
Mode
The Mode parameter is used to determine which stick
controls which of the primary functions (Î 13.3.1.). This
setting can be changed at any time.
18.6.5. Parameter:
OK
Once you have set up all the parameters described
above, you must press the ENTER button or one of the
3D digi-adjustors on the
OK field to conclude the setting
up of the new model. The transmitter automatically
switches to the new model you have just set up, and
you can immediately start adjusting the settings.

19. Setting up a new model
19.1. Introduction
When you set up a new model the ROYALevo7 helps
you by presenting a set of model templates. Eight dif-
ferent templates are available:
Templates for
standard and
fixed-wing models
Templates for
model
helicopters
1. BASIC1 7. HELImech
2. BASIC2 8. HELIccpm
3. ACRO
4. DELTA
5. GLIDER
6. 4 FLAPS
Setting up a new model based on a model template is
very simple, as all parameters and menus not required
for the selected model type are suppressed. This en-
sures that the menu system is always as clear and sim-
ple as possible, and goes a long way to avoiding pro-
gramming errors.
A detailed description of model templates and their ap-
plications, together with full information and set-up fa-
cilities, are found on the section starting with Î 20.
“Step by step to your destination”
There are various ways of proceeding when you are set-
ting up a new model. The following procedures for
fixed-wing models (Î 19.2.) and helicopters (Î 19.3.)
describe the method which in our opinion takes you to
the finishing post most quickly.
19.2. A new (fixed-wing) model
Step n Setting up a new memory
A new model is initially set up in Menu I Memory, in the
New Model sub-menu (Î 18.6.).
In this menu the following happens:
1. The first empty memory is automatically selected
for the new model.
(
Memory No. parameter Î 18.6.1.)
2. Select a model template to suit the new model.
(
Template parameter Î 18.6.2.)
From the eight templates available pick the one
which comes closest to your model.
(Description of model templates Î 20.)
3. Select the manufacturer-specific servo sequence at
the receiver (from MULTIPLEX HiTEC, Futaba or JR)
(
Servo config parameter Î 18.6.3.)
4. Select your preferred stick mode, i.e. which stick is
to control which model function (e.g. throttle right
or left, aileron right or left, …)
(
Mode parameter Î 18.6.4.)
5. Leave the menu by selecting
OK
this completes setting up the new model.
6. In the Control sub-menu of the Setup menu, select
the control neutral settings for:
Thr. min Idle
Spoiler min retracted
(no braking effect)
(Î 13.3.3. und 13.3.4.)
Step
o Entering a model name
Enter the model’s name in the menu:
I
Memory / Properties.
(
Name parameter Î 18.5.6.)
Step
p Connecting the servos
Connect the model’s servos, speed controller etc. to the
receiver, taking care to use the socket sequence de-
scribed in the model template which you selected when
you initially set up the new model (
Servo config.
parameter). The channel sequence can also be seen in
Menu K
Servo / Assignment.
TIP:
Not all receiver channel assignments are fixed; some
channels can be altered, i.e. they are unused and can be
assigned freely. For example, you can assign a throttle
or aero-tow channel if necessary for a glider or electric-
powered glider. You can assign additional functions to
the servo channels which are not in use by basic func-
tions (e.g. retracts, second elevator servo, aero-tow, va-
cant AUX channels, …). Changes to the servo assign-
ment can be made in Menu K
Servo / Assign-
ment
( Î 16.2.).
Note:
If you wish to connect devices (servos, speed controller,
…) which vary in signal format, it is possible to set up
each channel separately (options: UNI / MPX) in Menu K
Servo / Assignment
( Î 16.2.).
Step
q Switching on the transmitter and receiver
! Always keep to the standard sequence!
Always switch the transmitter on first,
and only then the receiver.
! Caution!
Injury hazard from motors bursting into life.
Check carefully that there is no danger of a motor
starting up accidentally when you switch on.
The model will now respond to control commands from
the transmitter. However, all the settings (servo direc-
tion, neutral setting, control surface travels) still have to
be checked and adjusted.
Step
r Calibrating the servos
The term “calibration” in this connection means adjust-
ing the following features of the servos:
- Direction of rotation
- Centre setting
- End-points
The servos are calibrated in Menu K
Servo, Cali-
brate
( Î 16.1.)
Note:
Please take great care when calibrating the servos. They
can only work accurately enough to provide precise
control of your model if this process is carried out prop-
erly and carefully. “Measuring is always better than
guessing!”
ROYAL evo 7
Page 54
Step s Setting up mixers
Mixers are set up in Menu G Mixer. This menu is dy-
namic, i.e. only those mixers used in the model are dis-
played. Mixer types and their function are described in
detail in the section on model templates (Î20.).
By default the mixers are assigned sensible average set-
tings for the model template in use, but they still have
to be fine-tuned to suit your particular model.
Details on the subject “setting up mixers” can be found
in the Mixer section (Î 15.4.).
Step
t Setting up the transmitter controls
Transmitter controls are set up in Menu H Control.
This menu is dynamic, i.e. only the controls required for
your model / model template are displayed. By default
the control settings are assigned sensible values for the
model template you have selected, but they still need to
be fine-tuned to suit your particular model.
All you need to know on the subject “Setting up trans-
mitter controls” can be found in the Section Î 14.
Step
u Pre-flight checks
Your newly set-up model should now be ready to fly.
But be sure to check all the working systems carefully
before you attempt to fly it.
Fine-tuning, especially of mixers and transmitter control
settings, can only be carried out during the test-flying
procedure with the new model. Please don’t try to make
changes in a menu while the model is flying. It is far
safer and more convenient to use the 3D digi-adjustors
to alter the values (Î 10.2.2.).
Step
v Activating flight phases
If you have set up a model based on one of the model
templates
BASIC2 ... 4 FLAPS, you can optimise the
model’s settings for various flight tasks by switching to
other flight phases. Before activating additional flight
phases the model should first be test-flown and
trimmed out properly in one flight phase (generally the
NORMAL phase), and all mixer and transmitter control
settings finalised. Only then should you activate addi-
tional flight phases as required, in order to optimise the
model for different flight situations, such as landing /
aerobatics, thermal / speed, cruise / auto-rotation. An-
other flight phase has first to be released, and then the
settings can be copied from the first flight phase to the
new one. The transmitter control settings (Menu H
Control
Î 14.) can now be optimised for the new
flight phase. All transmitter control settings which are
marked with a small number (
1 …3 or 4) can be ad-
justed separately for each flight phase.
You will find all you need to know about flight phases in
the Section Î 18.4.
19.3. A new model helicopter
! Safety note
Radio-controlled model helicopters are technically so-
phisticated and demanding flying machines which re-
quire careful setting-up, maintenance and care. If oper-
ated incompetently or carelessly they represent a seri-
ous potential hazard.
If you are a beginner, this is our advice:
x Start by asking an experienced model pilot for help;
join a club, or enrol at a model flying training centre;
x Ask your local model shop for advice;
x Read all you can on the subject (books, magazines).
Step
n Setting up a new memory
A new model is initially set up in Menu I Memory, in the
New Model sub-menu (Î 18.6.).
In this menu the following happens:
1. The first empty memory is automatically selected
for the new model.
(
Memory No. parameter Î 18.6.1.)
2. Select one of the two helicopter model templates
(
Template parameter Î 18.6.2.)
HELImech
For models with mechanical rotor
head mixing
HELIccpm
For models with electronic rotor head
mixing (CCPM). The type of swash-
plate (e.g. 3-point 120q, 3-point 90q,
...) is irrelevant. The settings for your
particular swashplate type will be en-
tered later.
A detailed description of the helicopter model
templates can be found at Î 20.
3. Select the manufacturer-specific servo sequence at
the receiver (from MULTIPLEX, HiTEC, Futaba or JR)

Step p Connecting the servos
Connect the model’s servos, speed controller etc. to the
receiver, taking care to use the socket sequence des-
cribed in the model template which you selected when
you initially set up the new model (
Servo config.
parameter). The channel sequence can also be seen in
Menu K
Servo / Assignment.
TIP:
Not all receiver channel assignments are fixed; some
channels can be altered, i.e. they are unused and can be
assigned freely if auxiliary channels are required. (e.g.
retracts, speed controller = RPM, vacant channels (AUX),
...). Changes to the servo assignment can be made in
Menu K
Servo / Assignment ( Î 16.2.).
Note:
If you wish to connect devices (servos, speed controller,
…) which vary in signal format, it is possible to set up
each channel separately (options: UNI / MPX) in Menu K
Servo / Assignment
( Î 16.2.).
Step
q Switching on the transmitter and receiver
! Always keep to the standard sequence!
Always switch the transmitter on first,
and only then the receiver.
! Caution!
Injury hazard from motors bursting into life!
Check carefully that there is no danger of a motor
starting up accidentally when you switch on.
The model will now respond to control commands from
the transmitter. However, all the settings (servo direc-
tion, neutral setting, control surface travels) still have to
be checked and adjusted.
Step
r Calibrating the servos
The term “calibration” in this connection means adjust-
ing the following features of the servos:
- Direction of rotation
- Centre setting
- End-points
The servos are calibrated in Menu K
Servo, Cali-
brate
( Î 16.1.)
Note:
Please take great care when calibrating the servos, as
they can only work accurately enough to provide pre-
cise control of your model if this process is carried out
properly and carefully.
TIP:
For the servos
Throttle, Collective Pitch,
TAIL
a 2-point servo calibration is sufficient. Do check
that the servos rotate in the correct direction before car-
rying out the calibration process. If you have to reverse
the servo direction subsequently, you will have to re-
peat the calibration procedure!
For calibrating the two reference points
P1 and P5
move the assign button, which moves the servo to the
appropriate position regardless of the transmitter con-
trol position, and hold it there (Î 16.1.). Change the %
values so that the servos reach the required maximum
travels, without being mechanically stalled at either
end-point (
P1 and P5).
For the servos
Roll and Pitch-axis a 3-point servo
calibration is required. Once again, do check that the
servos rotate in the correct direction before carrying out
the calibration process. If you have to reverse the servo
direction subsequently, you will have to repeat the cali-
bration procedure!
For the servos
Head f/r, Head le, Head ri a more
accurate calibration can be made by setting up a 5-
point servo calibration. The number of calibration
points can be selected in Menu K
Servo, Calibrate
(Î 16.1.). You must ensure that the servos rotate in the
correct direction before calibrating them. Do this by
moving the collective pitch stick up and down: all the
servos must move the swashplate in the same direction.
To calibrate the individual points
P1 ... P5 use the assign
button. All rotor head servos run to the appropriate po-
sition, regardless of the transmitter control setting, and
are fixed there. You can now fine-tune the % values so
that the swashplate is exactly horizontal at each calibra-
tion point (
P2, P3, P4), and is not jammed mechanically
at either end-point (
P1 und P5).
Step
s Setting up the rotor head mixer
(only for models with CCPM rotor head!)
The swashplate mixer is set up in Menu G Mixer /
Rotor head
(Î 15.8.). The model template
HELIccpm assumes a 3-point 120q swashplate with the
“pitch-axis” servo arranged at the rear, and the para-
meters
Geometry and Rotation are set up by default
to suit this arrangement. If your swashplate is different,
these two settings will have to be altered.
TIP:
The travel settings for the control functions roll and
pitch-axis are adjusted in Menu H
Control under the
Travel parameter (Î 14.1.6.)
Step
t Setting up the collective pitch curve
The collective pitch curve is set up in Menu H Con-
trol / Coll. Pitch
( Î14.1.10.).
For each flight phase a separate collective pitch curve
can be set up, in order to optimise the collective pitch
control system for each flight phase. For example:
x
HOVER
With collective pitch range -2 … +10°, so that the
model is less sensitive at collective pitch minimum.
This provides ultra-fine control for the landing;
x
ACRO
with collective pitch range –10 ... + 10q, so that the
model’s flying characteristics are the same upright
and when inverted;
ROYAL evo 7
Page 56
x AUTOROT
with collective pitch range –8 ... + 12q, providing the
optimum blade settings for collective pitch minimum
and maximum for auto-rotation landings.
TIP:
In our experience the correct blade pitch angle for hov-
e r i n g i s a r o u n d + 5 ° , a lt h o u g h t h i s d o e s va r y f r o m m o d e l
to model. When setting up the collective pitch curves
you should ensure that this value is reached at ap-
proximately the same collective pitch stick position in
all the collective pitch curves, otherwise the model will
“jump” when you switch from one flight phase to an-
other.
! Note: Models with CCPM swashplate
Do not set the collective pitch curve points
P1 and P6
to + and - 100%, otherwise symmetrical cyclic move-
ments (pitch-axis and roll) will not be possible at maxi-
mum and minimum collective pitch, since the servos
will already be at the limit of their travel (
P1 and P5).
Depending on the travels for roll and pitch-axis, we re-
commend setting the max. and min. collective pitch
curve points
P1 and P6 t o a r o u n d 7 0 t o 8 0 % .
! Note: Altering the neutral position
If the system is to work correctly it is essential that you
set up the neutral position of the collective pitch trans-
mitter control to suit your preference as a pilot:
Collective pitch minimum forward or back
This setting can be changed in Menu L
Setup, Con-
trol
(Î 13.3.3.).
Step
u Setting up the throttle curve
The throttle curve (P1 ... P5) is set up in Menu H Con-
trol / Throttle
( Î 14.1.11.).
In model helicopters the throttle servo, or the electric
motor speed controller, is not controlled directly by a
transmitter control, but by the collective pitch stick via a
mixer (collective pitch Æ throttle mixer). The effect of
the collective pitch stick on the throttle servo / electric
motor is determined by the throttle curve. The aim of
the throttle curve is to obtain constant rotational speed
over the full range of collective pitch, i.e. for every col-
lective pitch stick position. Only then is it possible to
achieve stable flying characteristics with a helicopter.
The throttle curves for the model templates
HELImech
and
HELIccpm are s e t up by d e f ault, a n d it is o n ly pos-
sible to fine-tune them when the model is flying.
! Note: Throttle limiter and direct throttle
The throttle limiter (F) must be left at the full-throttle
position, and the direct throttle switch DTC (N) must be
set to “0” (= OFF). Only then is the collective pitch Æ
throttle mixer active, and the throttle servo / electric
motor responds to the collective pitch stick according
to the throttle curve you have set up.
! Note:
Electric helicopters with brushless motor used in
“regulator” (governor) mode
If you are using a speed controller for a brushless elec-
tric motor with “regulator” (speed governor) mode, a
throttle curve is not required. Instead a nominal rota-
tional speed has to be defined, as the speed controller
automatically holds the speed at the pre-set nominal
speed. The
Throttle curve can be switched OFF in
the menu
Memory / Properties ( Î 18.5.4.).
All the throttle curve points (
P1 ... P5) then have the
same value (fixed value). Any changes to one point af-
fect all the throttle curve points.
Setting the idle speed
The
Min. parameter is used to set the motor’s idle
speed when the throttle limiter is at the Idle position.
The idle speed can be fine-tuned using the idle trim
(trim buttons for the collective pitch stick). An idle
speed is not required for electric helicopters. In this case
set the value for
Min. to 0% and the trim to minimum,
so that the motor is stopped when the throttle limiter is
at the idle position.
Step
v Setting up the tail rotor mixer
(static tail rotor compensation / REVO-
MIX)
The tail rotor mixer is set up in Menu G Mixer / TAIL
(Î 15.7.).
In the model templates
HELImech and HELIccpm tail
rotor compensation is switched off by default. If you are
using a modern gyro system in your helicopter which
only operates in heading-hold mode, all the settings for
the
TAIL mixer must be set to OFF or 0% (but please
read the notes on this in the instructions supplied with
the gyro system!).
TIP:
The alternative is not to connect the tail rotor to the re-
ceiver output
TAIL, but to control the tail rotor directly
using the yaw stick, without a mixer. To achieve this you
must assign
Yaw to a free channel in Menu K Servo /
Assignment
(Î 16.2.). The tail rotor servo or gyro can
then be connected to this channel.
If your gyro system can work in normal or damping
mode, the
TAIL mixer should be activated and set up
correctly, as it reduces the characteristic tendency for
the model to yaw (rotate around the vertical axis) when
there is a torque change, i.e. every time the pilot applies
a collective pitch command. This eases the workload of
the gyro, and ensures optimum tail stabilisation.
This is the procedure for setting up tail rotor compen-
sation:
1. Ensure that the servo output arm and the tail rotor
pitch lever are at right-angles to the tail rotor push-
rod when the tail rotor servo is at neutral. If neces-
sary, adjust the length of the tail rotor pushrod to
achieve this. At this setting tail rotor compensation
will be automatically close to correct for hovering.
TIP:
When both tail rotor blades are folded to one side,
the distance between the blade tips should be in
the range 10 - 20 mm, depending on the model.
2. Now define the starting point for the tail rotor
compensation mixer: move the collective pitch stick
to the appropriate position (hover point) and trans-
fer the value of the
Collective pitch parame-
ter to the
Zero point parameter (Zero point
parameter Î 15.7.4.).
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions
Page 57
ENGLIS
H
3. The value for tail rotor compensation for climb can
now be set using the
Coll.+ parameter.
Move the collective pitch stick to the “climb” posi-
tion (collective pitch maximum) and set an initial
value at which the distance between the tail rotor
blade tips is approximately doubled.
Now move the collective pitch stick to the “de-
scend” position (collective pitch minimum) and set
an initial value at which the distance between the
tail rotor blade tips is about 0 … 5 mm.
For the other flight phases start with the values you
have just set. Fine adjustment of tail rotor compen-
sation (
Coll.+, Coll.-) for the individual flight
phases can only be carried out during flight-testing.
In the Auto-rotation flight phase (
AUTOROT) no tail rotor
compensation is required, as there is no torque to be
allowed for since the motor is either stopped or idling.
Set the value
OFF for the Coll.+ and Coll.- para-
meters. Set the
Offset parameter so that the tips of
the folded tail rotor blades are in line with each other
( blade pitch angle 0°).
Step
w Setting up and testing the gyro
The model templates are designed on the assumption
that a gyro system (normal / damping or heading-hold
type) - nowadays a standard feature - is used, with gyro
gain remotely variable from the transmitter via a sepa-
rate channel.
In the
HELImech and HELIccpm model templates the
simplest method of gyro gain control is selected for the
ROYALevo 7; this is the gyro mode
Control (Î
15.6.1.). This provides for manual adjustment of gyro
gain (same gain for all flight phases) using the
Gyro
control (slider “E”). Later you can set up flight phase de-
pendent gyro control (
Damping or Heading mode).
The first step here is to determine the position of the
Gyro control at which maximum gyro gain is obtained.
This is done by moving slider “E” to one end-point and
rotating the model around its vertical axis. At maximum
gain you will see the largest corrective tail rotor move-
ment. If maximum gain is at the opposite position of the
slider, the direction of the Gyro channel must be “re-
versed” (Î 16.1.1.).
The optimum gain settings for the gyro can only be
found through flight testing. For initial test-flights we
recommend a gain of around 50%. Increase the gain
gradually during the first few flights until the tail starts
to oscillate. You should then reduce gain just to the
point where the oscillation ceases. This is the optimum
gyro gain setting.
! Caution!
Before you fly the model it is absolutely essential to
check that the gyro is working correctly, i.e. that it is set
up to correct any unwanted yaw movement. If it is set
up in the opposite direction, the gyro will exaggerate
any yawing tendency, rendering the helicopter uncon-
trollable. Please read the notes on this subject in the
gyro’s operating instructions.
Step
W Getting to know the method of working
of the throttle limiter and direct throttle
Throttle limiter
The throttle limiter function limits the maximum speed
of the motor to a variable value in the range idle to full-
throttle, and thereby makes it much safer to start and
adjust the motor. The control for the throttle limiter is
slider F.
If the throttle limiter is at the idle position, the motor
runs at the speed set using the
Min. parameter (Î
14.1.12.) (the collective pitch stick now has no effect on
throttle). In this position you would, for example, start
the glow motor (idle speed can be adjusted using the
collective pitch trim buttons). Only when the model is
standing on the launch pad at a safe distance, and you
have checked that the collective pitch stick is at collec-
tive pitch minimum, should the throttle limiter be
gradually moved to the full-throttle position. The motor
now accelerates to the set throttle value for collective
pitch minimum (
P1 on the throttle curve Î 14.1.11.).
The throttle curve is now active, and throttle is con-
trolled by the collective pitch stick.

! Note: Changing the neutral position
If the throttle limiter is to work properly it is necessary
to set up the neutral position of the Throttle Limit con-
trol to suit your personal preference:
Throttle limit min. (= idle or OFF) forward or back
This setting is made in Menu L
Setup, Control
(Î 13.3.4.).
Direct throttle (DTC = Direct Throttle Control)
For testing and adjustment work the ROYALevo7 offers
the Direct Throttle facility. Direct throttle means that the
motor can be controlled over the range idle to full-
throttle using the throttle limiter, independently of the
collective pitch stick. For example, the motor can be run
up to full speed on the ground for test purposes, and be
subjected to negative collective pitch (collective pitch
minimum) to give it a “load” - keep a safe distance away!
The switch “DTC” (N) is used to activate the direct throt-
tle function.

Note: cutting the motor
Cutting the (glow-) motor is carried out using the “THR-
CUT” (H) button - not with the throttle trim. The throttle
servo is held at the OFF position for as long as you hold
the button pressed in.
Step
X Test-flying
Your newly set-up model should now be ready to fly.
Carry out a thorough check of all the working systems
before you attempt to fly it for the first time.
Fine adjustments, especially to the mixers and transmit-
ter control settings, can only be made during the test-
flying programme with the new model. Don’t make
changes in a menu during a flight. It is always better to
use the safe, convenient method of changing values us-
ing the 3D digi-adjustors (Î 11.2.2.).
Step
Y Activating flight phases
Once you have trimmed out the model accurately in
one flight phase (usually the
HOVER phase), you may
wish to set up additional flight phases in order to opti-
mise the model for different flight situations (e.g.
CRUISE, ACRO).
This is done by activating a new flight phase and copy-
ing the values from the first phase into the new, now
active one (Î 18.4.). You can then adjust the transmit-
ter control settings - especially the collective pitch and
throttle curves - in Menu H
Control (Î 14.), and the
settings of the
TAIL and Gyro mixers (Î 15.). All val-
ues which are marked with a small number (
1 …4) can
be adjusted separately for each flight phase (Î 18.4.).
TIP: Speed regulators (governors)
If you wish to use a speed regulator with a glow-
powered model helicopter, i.e. a system which auto-
matically maintains a very constant system rotational
speed, the ROYALevo7 has a special function to offer:
Assign the function RPM to a vacant servo output (Î
16.2.); the speed regulator is connected to this receiver
output. In the Control menu you will now see the con-
trol “RPM”. Here you can set a fixed value for the nomi-
nal rotational speed, separately for each flight phase (Î
14.1.8.). The speed regulator (i.e. the fixed value for the
regulator) can be switched off at any time using switch
“G”. In this case the throttle servo is controlled in the
usual way via the throttle curve.
Before using the system be sure to read the information
in the unit’s operating instructions.
20. The model templates
in detail
In the following sections you will find a detailed descrip-
tion of all model templates offered by your ROYALevo7.
Model templates enable you to set up a new model
quickly and very easily. Just follow our recommended
procedure:
Î 19.2. Setting up a new fixed-wing model aircraft
Î 19.3. Setting up a new model helicopter
In each template description you first find out which
types of model are suitable for that template.
In the first section (20.x.1.) you will see which transmit-
ter controls and switches are assigned. In the drawing
you will also see how the switches and controls must be
set before you switch the model on, i.e. the position of
maximum safety.
In the second section (20.x.2.) you will find a drawing
which shows the receiver outputs to which the servos
(speed controller, gyro etc.) have to be connected. The
servo sequence varies according to the servo configura-
tion which you selected when you set up a new mem-
ory.
The third section (20.x.3.) contains information about
the mixer facilities offered by the template in question.

It is important to observe the stated connection se-
quence of the aileron servos, and the servos with an ai-
leron input (AILERON+, FLAP+), at the receiver. The ser-
vos must always be connected alternately left (L) and
right (R) with rising channel numbers (1, 2, 3, …7), or in
the reverse order right (R) and left (L). If you neglect to
do this, the correct operation of aileron differential can-
not be guaranteed.

It is possible to set up differential
rudder by setting different V-tail
travels up and down for rudder
commands. This means that a cer-
tain amount of up- or down-
elevator can be “mixed in” auto-
matically when a pure rudder
command is applied. Generally this
takes the form of up-elevator, as a

If ailerons are set to deflect up
when spoilers are extended, the re-
sult is known as the Butterfly or
Crow landing system.
Flap
When the flap control (F) is oper-
ated, both camber-changing flaps
deflect up or down to alter the wing
camber in order to optimise the
wing section for thermal and speed
flying:
Travel' = Up-flap deflection, e.g.
for speed flying
Travel# = D o w n - f l a p d e f l e c t i o n ,
e.g. for thermal flying
The values should be set so that the
camber of the wing section is con-
stant over the full wingspan, i.e. co-
ordinated flap and aileron travels.

Note:
Special features when calibrating the following servos:
FLAP+ and AILERON+ (input: Spoiler, parameter:
Off = OFFSET)
Glider wings with four flaps can be set up to produce
the Butterfly or Crow landing system (max. aileron up-
travel, max. flap down-travel). In this case the flap servos
in particular have a highly asymmetrical working range:
Maximum up-aileron travel is required (approx. 20°). For
landing the flaps should deflect down as far as possible
to obtain best possible braking effect (if possible > 60°).
The servo travel in the “up” direction must be greatly
reduced, unless you have installed the output arms on
the servos at an angle (mechanical differential). This
means that valuable servo travel is sacrificed, and servo
power is lost. Unnecessary gearbox play, reduced posi-
tional accuracy and increased gearbox shock loading in
a hard landing have to be accepted.
ROYAL evo 7 - Instructions
Page 69
ENGLIS
H
You can minimise these problems as follows:
1. Fit the servo output arm on the flap and aileron
servos at right-angles to the pushrods.
2. Determine the centre of the working range of the
control surface:
Example: the working range of the control surface
(e.g. flap) is +20° ... -60°, starting from the neutral
position (control surface in line with airfoil)
the centre of the working range of the control
surface is therefore at -10°.
Adjust the control surface pushrod so that the con-
trol surface is at -10° when the servo is at centre.
TIP:
When you select the servo in the
Servo / Cali-
brate
menu, select the percentage value for point
P3 and then press the digi-adjustor assign button
<
F
>: the servo will then run to its exact neutral
point (Î 16.1.).
3. Both
FLAP+ and AILERON+ servos should now be
calibrated at points
P1, P3, and P5 (also points P2
and
P4 i f u s e d ) s o t h a t b o t h c o n t r o l s u r f a c e s o n
each side line up exactly at all points (in our exam-
ple at +20° / -10° / -60°).
4. Now adjust the
Off (offset) parameter of the
Spoiler input in the FLAP+ and AILERON+ mix-
ers so that the control surfaces follow the wing air-
foil exactly.
The diagram below shows how this system works in
comprehensible graphic form:

21. Error messages
Every time you switch the transmitter on, the
ROYALevo7 checks the contents of its memory. If it de-
tects an error, the following error message will appear:
Memory Error
If this should happen, do not use the transmitter, and
do not make changes to any settings.
The ROYALevo DataManager PC back-up and update
program (Î 23.1.) is capable of correcting many data
errors. To make use of this simply carry out a data back-
up procedure. The data error will be recognised by the
ROYALevo Data Manager:
If you confirm by clicking on “Yes”, but the error mes-
sage occurs repeatedly, there is a serious data error. In
this case the cause is often a hardware defect (perhaps
caused by neglecting the battery charging instructions,
or using an unsuitable or faulty charger). The trans-
mitter must then be sent to a MULTIPLEX Service Centre
for checking and repair.
Important: please check the version of ROYALevo
DataManager you are using.
For the ROYALevo 7 a later version of the ROYALevo-
DataManager is required than is current at the time of
printing of these instructions (V1.06).
22. Accessories
22.1. HFM-4 crystal RF module
# 4 5690 35 MHz A- and B-band
# 4 5691 40/41 MHz band
# 4 5697 36 MHz
#4 5692 72 MHz
Reasonably priced RF modules using conventional crys-
tal technology. Be sure to use genuine MULTIPLEX plug-
in crystals.
Important: which channels can be used?
Regulations concerning the use of radio-controlled
models vary from country to country. Please make en-
quiries to establish which RF module you should use,
and which channels are approved for the region in
which you wish to fly your models.
22.2. Channel-Check module for HFM-4
crystal RF module
# 7 5164 35MHz A- and B-band (also for 36MHz)
# 7 5165 40/41MHz band
The Channel-Check module is simply plugged into the
HFM-4 crystal RF module, and is easy to
install at any time. The Channel-Check
module requires a receiver crystal (MUL-
TIPLEX single-conversion crystal) whose
channel / frequency is the same as the
transmitter crystal you are using. When
you switch the transmitter on, the mod-
ule checks whether the transmission
channel is in use, and only switches the
RF module on if it is vacant. In this way it
guards against frequency clashes and makes an impor-
tant contribution to safety in model sport.
Retro-fitting the module
1. Switch off and open the transmitter
2. Remove the HFM-4 RF module
3. Plug the receiver crystal into the
Channel-Check module
4. Plug the Channel-Check module
into the RF module
5. Re-install the RF module
Operation
1. Extend the transmitter aerial to full length
2. Switch on the transmitter
3. The RF status LED flashes:
the channel is free (no guarantee), the RF module
is immediately activated, and the transmitter is
ready to use. “No guarantee” means that the module
may not be able to detect distant transmitters
(approx. > 300 m) because of the influence of en-
vironmental conditions and the local terrain. How-
ever, if the model should fly close to such a transmit-
ter, there is then a risk of interference due to a chan-
nel clash.
4. RF status LED glows constantly channel in use
The screen also displays the following message for
two seconds:
!Attention! No RF
If Channel-Check finds the channel to be in use
when switched on, you must switch the transmitter
off again before you can use it. Check whether your
channel is already in use by another modeller (in-
cluding transmitters a long way away!). If this is not
the case, the problem may be a transmitter in the
immediate vicinity on an adjacent channel, momen-
tary interference on the channel when you switched
on, etc. Before you switch on again, walk a little way
away from other transmitters, then try again.
22.3. HFM-S Synthesizer RF module
# 4 5693 35 MHz A- and B-band
# 4 5694 40/41 MHz band
# 4 5696 36 MHz
# 4 5695 72 MHz
RF modules exploiting modern Synthesizer technology.
The transmission channel can be selected quickly and
conveniently in the channel set-up menu. No plug-in
crystals are required at the transmitter.
Important: which channels can be used?

quiries to establish which RF module you should use,
and which channels are approved for the region in
which you wish to fly your models.
22.4. Scanner for HFM-S Synthesizer RF
module
# 4 5170 35 MHz A- and B-band
# 4 5171 40/41 MHz band
# 4 5173 36 MHz
# 4 5172 72 MHz
Important: which channels can be used?
Regulations concerning the use of radio-controlled
models vary from country to country. Please make en-
quiries to establish which RF module you should use,
and which channels are approved for the region in
which you wish to fly your models.
The scanner allows you to monitor the frequency band,
and guards against channel clashes. The Scanner mod-
ule is simply plugged into the HFM-S Synthesizer RF
module, and is easy to fit at any time.
The scanner can carry out two tasks:
Checking your channel at power-on (Channel-Check)
The channel you select for the Synthesizer is checked
when you switch the transmitter on. If the channel is al-
ready in use, the Synthesizer stays switched off, and the
user is alerted to the situation by an on-screen warning.
If the scanner picks up no signal during this check, the
transmitter switches itself on in the normal way.
Scanning the whole frequency band
The scanner checks all channels of the frequency band
one by one. All the signals it detects are displayed in bar
graph form on the screen; the height of the bar indi-
cates the signal strength.
Detailed instructions for using the Scanner module for
the HFM-S Synthesizer RF module are supplied with the
module itself.
22.5. Trainer lead
# 8 5121
The ROYALevo7 can be used either as Teacher or Pupil
transmitter in a Trainer (buddy-box) system.
Any MULTIPLEX transmitter fitted with a 5-pin DIN
socket (MULTIPLEX multi-function socket) can be used
as a pupil transmitter. (Î 13.4.)
22.6. Diagnosis lead
# 8 5105
For carrying out adjustments to the model the receiver
can be operated in Diagnosis mode (DSC - Direct Servo
Control) via a cable, without the transmitter radiating an
RF signal, even if “your” channel is already in use. Con-
nect the transmitter (MULTIPLEX multi-function socket)
to the receiver (charge socket on the switch harness
# 8 5039 or # 8 5046) using the Diagnosis lead. Please
note: Diagnosis mode is only possible with MULTIPLEX
receivers which feature a combined Battery / Diagnosis
socket marked “B/D”.

23. PC interface
The multi-function socket on the underside of the
ROYALevo transmitter provides a serial interface to a PC
in addition to the functions of charging, Trainer mode
and Diagnosis mode. This interface offers two functions:
x access to transmitter data
for data back-up, software update
x use with model flying simulators
23.1. Software update / data back-up
The facility to exchange data between transmitter and
PC provides the following possible functions:
x Data back-up
storing (backing-up) model memory data on your PC
x Software update (loading new software into the
transmitter)
The latter point in particular enables you to exploit en-
tirely new methods of updating the transmitter soft-
ware or installing new screen languages via the inter-
net. The PC software “ROYALevo DataManager“ and cur-
rent software updates in various national languages are
already available in the Download area of our internet
website: www.multiplexrc.de.
Important: please check the version of ROYALevo
DataManager you are using.
For the ROYALevo 7 a later version of the ROYALevo-
DataManager is required than is current at the time of
printing of these instructions (V1.06).
The connecting lead (PC lead # 8 5156) is available from
your local model shop.
23.2. Using a flight simulator
The ROYALevo7 can be used directly with many flight
simulators, without further expansion. The manufac-
turers of flight simulators offer special interface cables
for MULTIPLEX transmitters. If you have a query, please
address it to the simulator manufacturer.

24. MULTInaut IV
channel expansion system
If the seven channels of the ROYALevo 7 are not suffi-
cient, perhaps for a complex multi-function model, the
MULTIPLEX MULTInaut IV channel expansion system
can be used. The ROYALevo is capable of controlling
two MULTInaut IV receiver modules (# 7 5892) which
are available as optional accessories.
Each MULTInaut IV receiver module installed in the
model can control up to four consumer units (max. con-
tinuous load 4 x 4A / 16V) and/or up to four servos in
various modes of operation. One channel is required to
actuate one MULTInaut IV receiver module. If you use
two MULTInaut IV receiver modules a total of 13 chan-
nels are available to you (five proportional channels plus
2 x 4 MULTInaut channels).
Preparation
Move to the menu
Servo / Assignment (Î 16.2.)
and determine which channels (receiver outputs) are to
be used for the control signals of the two MULTInaut IV
receiver modules:
M.naut1 or M.naut2
The receiver modules in the model must be connected
to the corresponding channels.
The MULTInaut system is only available for the
fixed-wing model type!
Activating the MULTInaut mode of operation:
The keypad of the ROYALevo is used to control the
MULTInaut functions (no additional or special switches
have to be installed). Starting from one of the three
status displays, hold the ENTER button held in for
longer than three seconds; this activates the button
groups for MULTInaut use. The screen display is as fol-
lows:
Note:
If the MULTInaut mode of operation is active and the
MULTINAUT display is on the screen, it is not possible to
use the keypad (or the 3D digi-adjustors) to make
changes in any of the menus.
Hold ENTER pressed in again for longer than three sec-
onds to end this mode of operation.
Operating the MULTInaut channels
In each case four buttons (group of buttons) are as-
signed to one MULTInaut channel, and control the con-
sumer units or servos connected to the receiver module.
The effect of one button-press varies according to the
system controlled by the MULTInaut channel. The fol-
lowing alternatives are available:
a. Consumer units to terminals +/-1 to +/-4
The diagram shows where the consumer units
have to be connected.
Diagram for servo 5 =
M.naut1
For switching consumers (e.g. lamps, horns etc.).
Every time you press a button briefly the associ-
ated load is switched from one state to the other:
(OFF Æ ON or ON ÆOFF)
b. Servo to sockets 1 to 4, no jumper
If the jumpers (bridging plugs) are not connected
to servo sockets 2 and 4, the servo moves from one
end-point to the other every time you press the as-
sociated button.
c. Servo to socket 1 / 3
to servo socket 2 / 4 with jumper
Buttons 1 and 2 control the servo at socket 1; but-
tons 3 and 4 the servo at socket 3. For as long as
the button is held pressed in the servo runs in one
direction until it reaches the end-point. When you
release the button, the servo stops.
The full servo travel is divided into 32 segments,
and takes about four seconds to traverse. One
short button-press triggers a step of about 3°.
Each MULTInaut IV module is supplied with detailed
operating instructions including all the information you
need to install and operate the system, together with a
full Specification.

25. Care and maintenance
The transmitter requires no special care or maintenance.
However, we strongly recommend that you send the
transmitter to an authorised MULTIPLEX Service Centre
at regular intervals - depending on the frequency of use
- for a full check; this should take place every two or
three years. Regular operating checks and range checks
(Î 3.2.) should be considered mandatory.
The best way of removing dust and dirt is to use a soft
bristle paintbrush. More stubborn soiling, especially by
grease and oil, should be removed using a soft cloth
dampened with a mild household cleaner. Never use
powerful cleaning agents such as white spirit or sol-
vents.
Avoid subjecting the transmitter to shock and pressure
loads. The unit should always be stored and transported
in a suitable container (transmitter case or bag).
Check the transmitter case, mechanical assemblies and -
especially - cables and connector contacts regularly.
! Always switch off the transmitter before open-
ing the case, and disconnect the transmitter
battery before carrying out any internal work.
Avoid touching electrical components and cir-
cuit boards.
26. Advice and customer service
We have invested considerable effort in making these
operating instructions as comprehensive and com-
prehensible as possible, so that you can locate the an-
swer to any question quickly and easily. However, if you
have a question on your ROYALevo 7 which the manual
cannot answer, please ask your local model shop in the
first instance, where the staff will be glad to advise and
help you.
