The Cockpit SX is the
successor to the successful Cockpit MM. The new system was developed
with the aim of combining the proven building blocks of the MM with the latest
cutting-edge technology to create a modern 7 channel FM/PPM R/C system, with a
unique price/performance ratio. The system meets all the needs of the
ambitious beginner and weekend pilto, but has plenty to offer an expert who is
looking for a compact second system.

The latest Synthesizer RF technology
Synthesizer
RF technology as standard: no more plug-in crystals for selecting the RF spot
frequency. Just call up the appropriate menu and select the channel quickly,
safely and simply.
Optional
Scanner module with Scan and Channel-Check functions available.
Digital trim system
The
trims take the form of rocker buttons; the current trim settings are always
displayed on-screen. The transmitter emits an audible beep each time you alter
the trim by one increment, move it to the centre or to either end-point. The
trim settings for each model are always stored automatically when you switch between
memories, and also when changing to a
different flight phase (flight-phase specific trim).
Modern
FLASH micro-controller technology
A
simple means of updating the software when revisions become available.
Long operating times
The
operating time with the PERMABATT 1500 mAh NiMH transmitter battery over
six hours!
Comprehensive
set of practical mixer and set-up facilities
For
fixed-wing aircraft (power models, deltas, flying wings, gliders with up to 4
wing flaps, e.g. F3B / F3J), and helicopters fitted with all current rotor
head types.
The
features in detail
The
latest Synthesizer RF technology
The
COCKPIT SX transmitter is equipped with the latest leading edge Synthesizer RF
technology, eliminating plug-in crystals for selecting the RF spot frequency.
Simply call up the appropriate menu and select the channel you wish to use.
You can forget, forever, the tiresome task of
swapping crystals, as well as the expense of purchasing a range of plug-in
crystals.
Available
channels / frequencies are as follows*:
35
MHz version (A- and B-band)
| Ch 255 (34.950 MHz)
… Ch 260 (35.000 MHz) |
Ch 61 (35.010 MHz)
… Ch 80 (35.200 MHz) |
| Ch 281 (35.210 MHz)
… Ch 293 (35.330 MHz) |
Ch 182 (35.820 MHz)
… Ch 191 (35.910 MHz) |
40
/ 41 MHz version
| Ch 41 (40.575 MHz)
… Ch 59 (40.785 MHz) |
Ch 81 (40.815 MHz)
… Ch 92 (40.985 MHz) |
| Ch 400 (41.000 MHz)
… Ch 420 (41.200 MHz) |
|
Optional
Channel-Check PLUS power-on guard system
A
Channel-Check Plus module is available as an optional extra. When you switch
the transmitter on, Channel-Check tests the set RF channel; if it detects that
the channel is already in use, it alerts the user and - in the interests of
safety - prevents the transmitter radiating an RF signal. This avoids crashes
caused by channel clashes (two transmitters on one frequency), and constitutes
a real step forward in model sport safety. The Channel-Check PLUS module can
also be used to check all channels on its
frequency band (Scan function). Channels in use are displayed with an
indication of field strength.
Eight
possible control modes
In
addition to the standard stick modes 1 to 4 (throttle right / throttle left,
…) the transmitter offers modes 5 to 8. In these modes the throttle and
spoiler controls are interchanged (spoilers on the stick, throttle on the
right-hand slider); many
electric glider pilots prefer these arrangements.
Throttle
check
When
you switch the transmitter on, this feature checks that the throttle control
(stick or switch) is at the idle / stop position. This helps to prevent the
motor bursting into life when the receiving system is switched on, and
protects the user from unpleasant surprises and injury hazards.
Flight
phase switching
Many
models can be fine-tuned for efficient flying in different regimes, and the
best way of effecting this is to set up switchable flight phases. For
fixed-wing models the transmitter offers a total of three flight phases (e.g.
NORMAL, THERMAL, SPEED), whilst four phases (e.g. HOVER, CRUISE, AEROBATICS
and AUTO-ROTATION) are available for helicopters. Each flight phase features its
own trim memory.
Numerous
additional parameters can also be set individually for each flight phase (e.g.
transmitter control travels, differential, wing camber, collective pitch /
throttle curve, tail rotor compensation, gyro gain, etc),
and the transition time period from one
flight phase to the next can be varied. Setting up the different phases is
made easier by the “Copy flight phase” function.
Transmitter
battery monitor
An
audible alarm alerts you when the battery voltage falls below the set
(user-variable) warning threshold.
Language
switching
The
screen texts can be displayed in English or German.
Trainer
mode
In
its standard form the COCKPIT SX can be used either as Teacher or Pupil
transmitter for Trainer mode operations. The Pupil or Teacher transmitter can
be any MULTIPLEX transmitter fitted with a Trainer socket. The COCKPIT SX also
offers a selective Trainer mode: this allows
the tutor to transfer all channels to the pupil or just individual control
functions, according to the skill level of the person who is learning.
Dual
Rate and Expo
for
three axis (aileron, elevator, rudder)
Servo
travels, direction of rotation, centre
separately
variable for all servos
Three
free mixers per model memory
A
maximum of three free mixers can be set up to implement mixed functions that
are not provided as standard. Any switch can also be assigned to switch the
mixers on and off. The mixer input values are set using a 3-point curve.
Convenient
model memory management
Three timers
| Timer 1 mm:ss |
selectable start / stop switch, alarm function |
| Timer 2 mm:ss |
selectable start / stop switch |

Operating
a momentary switch calls up a fixed value for the transmitter controls;
aileron, elevator and rudder (e.g. launch
offset for F3K SAL models or aerobatic flick-rolls
etc).
Any
servo signal (channels 1 - 6) can also be passed to channel 7, and adjusted
independently of the original signal (direction of rotation, centre,
travels). Typical applications: models with two separate airbrake or
elevator servos.
Functions for model helicopters
separately
variable for each flight phase
tail
rotor compensation for collective pitch + / collective pitch -, separately
variable
Rotor
head mixer (CCPM)
for
the current systems: 3-point 120°, 3-point 90° / 4-point 90°, Heim

special mode for heading-hold gyros.
