Acro and Glider Programming Menu
The information below explains advanced programming function adjustable for xed-wing
(ACRO or GLID) type models.
From the Model Function menu, you can program the following xed-wing-specic functions:
AIL DIFF: Congure aileron servos to move further upwards than down.
ELEVON MIX: Specify independent pitch and roll control throws for aircraft with elevons.
V-TAIL MIX: Specify independent pitch and yaw control throws for aircraft with a V-tail.
AILEVATOR: Specify independent pitch and roll control throws for aircraft with ailevators (also called
“tailerons”).
AIL>RUD: User-adjustable mix that denes rudder movement with aileron control inputs.
ELEV>CAMB: Alter wing control surfaces with elevator inputs.
Camber Mix (GLID only): Adjust wing control surfaces with switch movements.
FLAP CON: Mix elevator throw with ap movement.
Landing Mix ( Landing ) –(ACRO only) : Congure wing control as wing brake for landing.
B-y (GLID only): Congure wing control surfaces to act as an air brake (also known as “crow”).
GYRO: Specify gyro on/o and sensitivity settings.
THRO CUT (ACRO only): Congure a kill switch for glow/gas motors.
T.CURVE (ACRO only): Specify non-linear throttle response.
If you have not already programmed a model with the preceding quick start guide, we
encourage you to do so before tackling the model programming section of the manual.

TipTip
Tip
Working with the Acro/Glid Model Function Menu
1. Turn on transmitter. When prompted to transmit, select “NO”.
2. Verify that the active model is an ACRO or GLID model type.
3. To access the model function menu, press and hold the jog dial.
4. The menu options shown reect the parameters dened for the active model in the model type menu
(Model Type, Wing and Tail). ACRO and GLID-specic items are integrated in the menu with the options
that are common to all model types.
Ail Diff
The Aileron Dierential function allows you to program greater upward aileron movement than
downward movement on models with more than one wing servo. This setup is commonly used to correct
airplanes that tend to yaw in the opposite direction of a roll (adverse yaw). You may also wish to congure
aileron-rudder mixing in this situation.
1. From the model menu, rotate the jog dial to highlight “AIL
DIFF” and press the jog dial once to enter the aileron
dierential menu.
2. Scroll to the “RATE” eld and press the jog dial to activate the
menu.
3. Scroll to input the desired rate value. This value represents the
dierence between 100% downward travel and the adjusted
travel. A rate value of 50 is typically a good starting point. Note
that the travel values displayed in the “AILE” and AIL2” elds
reect changes to the rate value.
You can also enter the timer menu directly from the home screen. Scroll to highlight a timer on
the screen and press the jog dial.
Note
4. Scroll to the “S/W” eld and press the jog dial to activate the
menu.
5. Scroll to select a switch to control aileron dierential settings.
Press the jog dial to conrm your selection. If you choose the
“NULL” option, the current settings will remain active at all
times for this model. If you choose a switch, repeat steps 2-4 to
dene the settings for each switch position.
