Program description - Wing mixers
can, in certain circumstances, even generate a positive
yaw: in such cases, an aileron command will generate
a yaw about the vertical axis in the direction of the turn.
For large glider models in particular, this approach lets
such aircraft fly “clean” turns using just the ailerons,
which is not otherwise possible unaided.
The adjustment range of -100 % to +100 % makes it
possible to set a differential appropriate for each side,
regardless of the direction of rotation of the aileron
servos. While “0 %” corresponds to a normal linkage,
i. e. no differential, “-100 %” or “+100 %” represents the
“split” function.
For aerobatic flying, low absolute values are required to
ensure the model rotates exactly along its longitudinal
axis when an aileron command is given. Values near
to the centre (-50 % or +50 %) are typical for facilitating
turns in thermals. The split setting (-100 %, +100 %) is
popular with slope fliers, where ailerons alone are often
used for turning the model.
A simultaneous tap on the or keys of the right
four-way button (CLEAR) will reset a changed value in
a given active (inverse video) field back to 0 %.
Note:
Negative values are not usually necessary if channels
are assigned properly.
Model type: “1AIL”
If you have entered “1AIL” for the “Aileron/camber
flaps” line on the »Model type« menu, page 98, then
the “Wing mixers menu” on your transmitter will match
the following screen image:

Note:
The “Brake settings” menu is switched “off” if:
“Motor on C1 forward / back” in the »Model
type« menu, page 98, AND the “Motor”
column of the »Phase settings« menu, page 148,
are set to “yes” for the currently active ight phase.

Since you cannot set up a butterfly or aileron differential
in a model with only a single aileron servo, this menu
offers no further configuration options with the excep-
tion of a “pointer” to the “Elevat curve” sub-menu.
Therefore, move ahead from here with another tap on
the centre SET key of the right four-way button:

The “AI” (topmost) line in the Multi-flap menu, de-
scription starting on page 177, can be used to set the
extent to which the flaps act as ailerons and follow the
aileron stick.; this value is entered as a percentage. The
flaps differential – to be set on the line “Diff.” (two lines
below) – works in a similar way to the aileron differential,
i. e. where an aileron command acts on the flaps, the
respective deflection downwards can be reduced.
The adjustment range of -100 % to +100 % makes it
possible to set a differential appropriate for each side,
regardless of the direction of rotation of the servos. A
value of 0 % is equal to normal linkage, i. e. the servo
travel downwards is the same as the travel upwards.
A value of -100 % to +100 % means that travel down-
wards will be reduced to zero for aileron commands
affecting the flaps (“split” mode).
A simultaneous tap on the or keys of the right
four-way button (CLEAR) will reset a changed value in
a given active (inverse video) field back to 0 %.
Note:
Negative values are not usually necessary if channels
are assigned properly.
