CAUTION:
Always do a Control Test of your model with the transmitter after programming to
make sure your model responds as desired.
Camber Preset
Camber Preset is only available when 2 or 4 aileron wing type is
selected in Sailplane Type. The Camber Preset function enables
you to program the ailerons, fl aps, wing tips and elevator for a

If fl ight modes are not active, only one preset position is
available and it is always active.

change fl ight modes.
Move the fl ight mode switch to the desired position to change
the Camber Preset values.
