Butterfly Mixing (GLID Only)

B-fly (Butterfly, also called “crow”) mixing configures the wing control surfaces to act as an air brake by
dropping the flaps and raising the ailerons. You may also program elevator throw to maintain pitch trim.
This mix is often used to slow slippery gliders for landing. The mix is usually activated with the linear
action of the throttle stick.
