Therefore, we begin with the “Brake settings” sub-
menu:

If this display appears, your model is equipped with a
motor, contrary to the assumption of this section, and
therefore you have selected “front/back” instead of
“none” in the line “Motor on C1” of the »Model type«
menu, page 98. Therefore, change this setting
temporarily or change the “yes” entry in the “Motor”
column of the »Phase settings« menu, page 148,
to “no” for the currently active flight phase – Phase 1 in
this case.

After this statement about mutual dependencies, back
to the topic:
If the ailerons are to be elevated for braking, an ap-
propriate value is entered into the “Crow” line after
activating the “AILE” column’s value field. In addition,
a value should always be entered in the line below it,
“D.red” (differentiation reduction), which corresponds
to the value you entered or would like to enter on the
first page of the »Wing mixers« menu in the line “Aile.
diff.” (see figure above)! With this entry, on actuation of
the brake stick, the set aileron differentiation is hidden
again proportionally in order to increase the downward
the throw of the raised ailerons and thus significantly
improve its effect in the braking phase (see the related
section on page 182).
A setting of the “Elevat. curve” mixer is then only
necessary if the flight speed of the model changes too
dramatically on actuation of the brake system. In any
case, you should try out the setting at a sufficient and
readjust, if necessary, whereby you should focus less
on the flight position than on maintaining the “normal”
flight speed of the model. Otherwise there is the risk
that the model plunges when engaging the brake sys-
tem, because it became too slow in the meantime:

After exiting the “Brake settings”, the “Aileron differ-
entiation can be set:
This serves to eliminate the negative torque. The down-
ward deflected aileron normally generates a higher
level of resistance during the flight than when deflected
upward the same distance, whereby the model is
pulled to the “wrong” side. In order to prevent this, with
the input of a differentiation of the travel of the respec-
tive servo deflected downward is reduced accordingly.
A value between 20 and 40 %, in this case, seldom
arises, however, the “correct” setting must be sought.
However, this function should be made switch-
able with the assignment of a switch if you ever
have aerobatic flight ambitions. (The author, for
example, switches off this mixer “automatically” when
switching to the “Speed” flight phase, in which he
assigns both options to the same switch accordingly.)
The option “AI RU” (aileron rudder) also serves a
similar purpose, as well as for the comfortable control
of a model. A value of about 50 % is a practical initial
value.
The last option in the »Wing mixers« menu, the
“El Fl” mixer, is not yet of interest at the moment.
