Simple Transmitter Setup – Aerobatic Airplane (ACRO)

change its travel direction by pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear)

key, then pressing the Data -Decrease key until you reach

-50%.

5. If the left (CH4) ruddervator

moves down with up elevator

stick, change its

travel direction by pressing the

Cursor Right key (the numeral 2

and SLV (Slave) will be flashi

ng), the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key (sets 0%), then press the

Data -Decrease key until you reach -50%. Otherwise, con-

tinue.

6. Now you’ll input the amount

of rudder stick response on the

left (CH4) ruddervator by press-

ing the Cursor Right key once.

Now the numeral 4 and MAS

will be flashing, and you may

adjust the amount of right ruddervator travel with the Data

+Increase and -Decrease keys. 50% is a good starting point.

Press Active/Inhibit (Clear) key if you wish to reset to 0%.

7. Now you’ll input the

amount of rudder stick

response on the right (CH2)

ruddervator by pressing the

Cursor Right key once. Now the

numeral 4 SLV will be flashing,

and you may adjust the amount of left ruddervator travel with

the Data +Increase and -Decrease keys. 50% is a good start-

ing point. Press Active/Inhibit (Clear) key if you wish to reset

to 0%).

8. Remember to be sure not to have so much travel as to

cause binding when both elevator and rudder are commanded

simultaneously.

FLPN - Flaperon Mixing

The Flaperon mixing function uses two servos to individually

control two ailerons, combining the aileron function with the

flap function. Both ailerons can be raised and lowered

simultaneously for a flap effect. Of course, aileron function,

where the two controls move in different directions, is also

performed. The down travel of the left and right ailerons can

be adjusted, so you can also get a differential effect. (Left and

right flap travel are adjusted individually in the EPA menu.)

To take advantage of the flaperon mixing function, you’ll need

to connect the right aileron servo to CH1 (AIL) and the left

aileron servo to CH6 (FLP)

Aileron Operation

Flap Operation

You can combine the flaperon function with the landing

function (LAND), to get steeper descents without building

up airspeed. This is very convenient for making short

approaches on small fields. Note that you cannot have both

flaperon and elevon mixing active at the same time.

Setting up the Flaperon function

1. The right flaperon servo should be plugged into CH1,

and the left flaperon servo should be plugged into CH6.

2. Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons repeatedly to select

the FLPN window. The INH indicator will show.

3. Press the Active/Inhibit

(Clear) key to activate the

flaperon function. This will

show the On indicator.

4. Press the Cursor Right key

once. Highlighted MAS sign

and numeral 1 will be flashing

that representing right aileron

master channel, and the percent

indicator will blink

on and off. If the right (CH1) flaperon moves the wrong way,

change its travel direction by holding the stick to the right,

pressing the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key, then pressing

the Data -Decrease key until you reach -100%.

which tells us we’re setting the right (CH1) flaperon servo.

Move the aileron stick all the way to the right, and check that

both flaperons move the right direction.

This will also change the travel for the left stick motion.

5. Press the Cursor Right key

once. Highlighted SLV sign and

numeral 1 will be flashing that

representing right aileron slave

channel, and the percent indicator

will blink on and off.

If the left (CH1) flaperon moves the wrong way, change its

travel direction by holding the stick to the right, pressing the

Active/Inhibit (Clear) key, then pressing the Data -Decrease

key until you reach -100%. which tells us we’re setting the left

(CH1) flaperon servo. Move the aileron stick all the way to the

right, and check that both flaperons move the right direction

This will also change the travel for the left stick motion.

6. If the left (CH6) flaperon

moves correctly with aileron

stick, go to the next step. If not ,

please check again above 4 and

5 steps.

7. Now you’ll input the amount

of flap response on the

flaperons. The flap motion is

commanded by the VR1 knob to

the left back of transmitter, and

both flaperons should move the

same direction when you move the knob. Press the Cursor

Right key one time, so the Numeral 6 and MAS wil be flashing

that indicating flaps are now the master channel, indicating left

(CH6) flaperon.
