SPEED OFS (GLID1FLAP/GLID2FLAP only): The Speed function is used to offset the aileron, elevator, and flap
servos for minimum drag in cruise and high-speed flight. Normally the ailerons and flaps are raised about 3-5%.
(Some airfoils, notably the RG-15,have higher drag with reflex, so this function should not be used.)
Adjustability:
Switch: This function is activated by flipping S
WITCH
G (9CA) to the forward position.
Separate adjustments for each aileron and flap servo (two flap settings for GLID2FLAP) and for elevator.
Range for each adjustment is -100 to +100.
Optional assignable dial to adjust all 4 wing servos in unison, 1% at a time across all 4 servos in flight.
