Brake settings
Note:
The "Brake settings" menu is switched "off" if: "Motor
on C1 forward / back" in the »Model type« menu,
page 94, AND the "Motor" column of the »Phase
settings« menu, page 142, are set to "yes" for the
currently active fl ight phase. Change the fl ight phase,
if applicable.
The "Brake settings" sub-menu of the »Wing
mixers« menu is also fl ight-phase specifi c and can
be used to extend aileron pairs (2 + 5) and (11 + 12)
upward as well as camber fl ap pairs "FL" (6 + 7) and
"FL2" (9 + 10) downward, whereas the elevator is
trimmed in parallel to this, see page 174.
In order for the brake system to react to the C1
joystick as desired, however, the mixer neutral
point (offset) of the brake system must be adjusted
accordingly. This takes place in the menu …
"Model type" (page 94)
After selecting the "Brake Off." line, the C1 joystick is
to be moved to the position at which the mixer for the
brake system is to take effect – normally just before
the forward limit position – and after selecting the
appropriate value fi eld, the setpoint is defi ned with a
brief tap on the center
SET key of the right touch pad.
If the C1 joystick is not moved over this point toward
the pilot, all mixers of the brake system are carried
along according to their respective degree of mixing.
Below this point the mixer remains inactive, whereas
the selection of "dead travel" is possible.
If the model has additional brake fl aps or spoilers and
your receiver has another free Output 1, you can also
control this through the C1 joystick by connecting the
spoiler servo to receiver Output 1.
However, if you control the left and right spoiler each
with its own servo, and not together, the receiver
Output 8 is still available for the connection of the
second spoiler servo. In this case, program the
connection to the second spoiler servo as described
in the section "Servos running in parallel" on
page 286.
Reduction of the aileron and camber changing
fl ap differentiation
For the improvement of the aileron effect in the crow
position, you should automatically suppress any
programmed aileron differentiation.
For this purpose, use "differentiation reduction" in
the "Brake settings" of the »Wing mixers« menu
to continuously reduce the degree of the aileron
differentiation within an adjustable range when
rudders are brought into crow position with the C1
joystick. For more about this, see text beginning on
page 174.
