ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES

•MUTUAL (BI-DIRECTIONAL)

MIXING (FLPRON. ELEVN, V-TAIL, DIFF)

Aileron + flap (FLPRON), aileron + elevator (ELEVN), rudder + elevator (V.TAIL), and aileron differential

(DIF) mixing can be selected with a switch.

FLPRON (AILERON + FLAP)

•This function allows the use of flaps on aircraft

with full length "strip" ailerons.

• Use a separate servo on each aileron and connect

as shown in Fig. 61 . NOTE: Always connect the
servo on the Right Aileron to CH1 (Aileron).
The Left servo to CH6 (Flap).

• Set Switches 16 and 17 as shown in Fig. 62.
• Aileron differential can be varied to suit using

Trimmer 15 . Trimmer 15 will vary the amount
of DOWN travel available on each aileron. UP
movement is not affected.

•The Flap function can be operated by using the

Flap Knob 6 or

better by using Switch 10 to

activate the Flaps and Elevator trim if necessary

(See Flap ->

)

Elevator Down mixing Page 30).

• Elevator -> Flap mixing is possible by setting

trimmer panel Switch 10 to ACT and Control
Switch 12 to ON. (See Elevator -> Flap mixing
Page 29)

• Pitch trim in vertical maneuvers and point manu-

vers can be adjusted easily by using the Flap

Knob 6 .

• NOTE: When the ailerons are operated while in

the Flap DOWN mode, an additional downward
movement of the Aileron occurs. Wing tip stall
can occur easily if the Aileron is down too far.
To prevent this, it may be necessary to use the
aileron differential (Trimmer |15|) to reduce the

downward travel.

Flap function can be added to

full aileron aircraft.

* Always connect the servo at the right wing to

receiver channel 1 (aileron).
