Using Aileron->Flap Mixing
1. Turn on Aileron->Flap mixing by locating the A->F menu with the
Up Down Edit
keys. The
default is for it to be inhibited (
Inh
). Press the
Active/Inhibit (Clear)
key so that the ‘
On
’
display is shown.
2. First, you'll set the aileron (CH1)->CH6 function mixing amount. Make sure A->F is On by
moving the Flt. condition switch fully back. Verify it's on by looking at the flashing On
indicator. Hit the
Cursor Right
key one time, and a small arrow will appear over the numeral
1 and under the numeral 6.
3. To set the UP mix amount for the right flap, hold the aileron stick to the right side (display
shows R/D), and press the
Data Decrease
key. Continue reducing the percentage until the
servo stops buzzing. If there's no buzzing, you can start with about 50%. If your model has
bottom-hinged flaps, you can get to 0% quickly by pressing the
Active/Inhibit (Clear)
key.
4. Now set the Down mix amount for the right flap (CH6). Holding the aileron stick to the left
side (display shows L/U), use the
Data Decrease
key to reduce the percentage to about 50%.
5. Now we'll do the same for the second flap servo (CH7). Press the
Cursor Right
key once, to
get to the left flap (CH7) setting menu. A small arrow is displayed under the numeral 7,
showing that CH7 is the affected channel. Move the aileron stick to the right (display shows
R/D), and press the
Data Decrease
key reducing the percentage until you reach about
50%
.
6. Set the up mix amount for the second flap (CH7) as you did for the first flap servo. Hold the
aileron stick to the left side (display shows L/U) and press the
Data Decrease
key to reduce
the percentage to about 50%. Again, if your model has bottom-hinged flaps, you can get to
0% quickly by pressing the
Active/Inhibit (Clear)
key.
DFL.T
— Dual Flap Trim (4WNG only)
Dual Flap Trim is a trimming function for gliders with four wing servos, and does not
appear in the two wing servo (2WNG) menu. It provides a simple way to adjust the position of
the inboard flaps (CH6 and CH7) without resorting to the subtrim menu. When you activate
Dual Flap Trim, you can turn the right-hand knob (VR2) to move the two inboard flaps against
each other — one goes upwards, the other goes downwards. Together with the Flap/Camber
control knob (VR1), you can set any position of the inboard flaps without using subtrims.
