ACRO ADVANCE

MENU FUNCTIONS:

Aircraft wing types (ACRO

GLID):

There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft models:
• Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail.

This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming.

• Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. see Twin Aileron Servos.
• Tail-less model (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and pitch control. see

ELEVON

Twin Aileron Servos (with a tail) (ACRO

GLID): Many current generation models use two aileron servos, plugged into two

• Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel.
• Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.
• Ease of assembly and more torque per surface by not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.

• Set a negative percentage to reverse the operation of one of the servos.

Options:
• 5-channel receiver. Set up AILE-2 (see p. 55) prior to continuing with FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF.
• FLAPERON:

•Uses CH6 for the second servo (see AIL-2 to use CH5.)

•Also allows aileron differential in its own programming (instead of activating AIL-DIFF).

• Aileron Differential (AIL-DIFF):

•Uses CH7 for the 2nd servo (see AIL-2 to use CH5.)

You will need to choose which of FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF is the better choice for your model's setup. If you need the ailerons
