I want to use my radio with a student's radio. How can I let the student use all of the programming, mixes, etc that my radio has to offer?
First you will go into the Basic menu, and using your Dial cursor through to the 3rd page. The last item you see will be Trainer. Press the Dial, use the Up Select button til you see INH flashing, just turn the Dial until you see Off.
Next, you will cursor down to the channels that you would like to make functional for the students radio. You will just cursor through selecting which ones you would like the student to have access to use your mixing on. If you have mixes set that you would like them to have access to you will stay with F (Function) or you can set this to N (Normal) and the student can now set rates, throws, mixes, etc. Or you may want to select Off, which doesn't allow the student to use this channel. This is often used to keep a student from having throttle control so the instructor can control the plane's airspeed, or other functions.
Next plug in the students radio, turn on the plane and set the Master radio on Low rates. You will need to match the surface throws in both directions and amounts using the ATV function on the Student.
On low rate, you should be able to hold full up Elevator on both the Master and Student, and flip the trainer switch, at this point you should see no movement on the elevator. This applies to the rudder, throttle and aileron.Now, when you pull the switch to give the buddy box control, the transmitter takes the buddy box stick movements and adds any mixes, expo, etc. that you've programmed into the Master. NOTE: while the student is in control, if high rates are desired, the appropriate switch on the MASTER box has to be pulled.
